On one hand, I want this guy to go away already, but on the other, he sure does a good job of exposing the abject idiocy that is all-too-common in middle America.

Ugh. That's all well and good he has his own beliefs, he's just giving a bad name to others who hold those same beliefs.

I hope someone steals his passport while he's there and he never comes back.

@2: Would you say that's all well and good, he's just giving a bad name to others who hold that same name?

I hope he's proved WRONG.

Yuck! I'm going to hope his quotes are on the wrong end of an eight second sound bite. His fifteen minutes should be up by now.

Hilarious! This is the doltish depth to which today's 'conservatism' has sunk.

Barry Goldwater -- who actually had coherent conservative thoughts, and who even embraced gay rights late in his career -- is turning over in his grave at the sight of these half-witted goofballs.

Jesus hates Joe the douchebag.

I would have thought he would go be on "Celebrity" "Apprentice"-him wanting to start his own business without a license and all.
