Appearing at the RightOnline summit, a right-wing counterpart to Netroots Nation, Samuel Joseph “Joe The Plumber” Wurzelbacher said that Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats are the sort of people he would “beat livin’ tar out of” for spending too much money and ridiculing protestors:

“So, when Pelosi and all those others talk about it bein’ un-American and disrespectful, I tell ya what: I respect nobody who lies to me and manipulates me and takes my money, puts my children in debt — they want me to be respectful towards ’em? Please,” said Mr. The Plumber. “You know, I’m not the most civilized person. Those kind of people, I usually took behind the woodshed and just beat the livin’ tar out of ’em. I don’t like being lied to. I hate being lied to, and Americans are gettin’ tired of it.”
