Our runner-up: Samuel “Joe the Plumber” Wurzelbacher, speaking at a rally in Houston. He stunned the crowd when he announced “I believe in making sure our country is safe first. I believe we need to spend a little more on illegal immigrants.”

Did you get hit by lightning or something? Sadly, no. “Get them the hell out of our damn country and close the borders down. We can do it. We’ve got the greatest military in the world, and you’re telling me we can’t close our borders? That’s just ridiculous.”

Two points that racists like Wurzelbacher always forget: The official government estimate that there are between 12 million and 20 million undocumented immigrants in the United States. The official government estimate is that there are 3,385,000 members of the military, including the reserves, and including everybody stationed outside the country. So if 12 million immigrants don’t want to leave, exactly how are you going to get them to?

Second point, and this a guy named Olbermann talking to a guy named Wurzelbacher: “I know my ancestors were not Native Americans. I’m pretty sure yours weren’t, either. Do you have any records proving yours were not illegal immigrants?”
