Let’s start off by saying that Samuel “Joe The Plumber” Wurzelbacher has absolutely no chance of being elected to Congress. He’s running in the redrawn Ohio 9th District against 11 term Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur in a district that is, if anything, even more heavily Democratic than when she ran for the seat in 2010. That doesn’t mean he isn’t campaigning, though, as his latest television ad demonstrates:
According to Joe the Plumber, gun control is to blame for the Holocaust,” the New York Daily News writes. “Ohio Congressional hopeful Samuel Wurzelbacher’s latest campaign ad features a short narrative over footage of him shooting fruit and vegetables off a fence, while explaining how Germany’s 1939 gun control laws paved the way for Germany’s worst atrocities. Wurzelbacher starts the ad off innocently enough, loading a shotgun while saying ‘In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were exterminated.’ Locked and loaded, Senator John McCain’s former BFF turned his focus to Germany, while also focusing on some unlucky tomatoes and apples: ‘In 1939, Germany established gun control,’ Wurzelbacher says while unloading shot after shot, ‘from 1939 to 1945, six million Jews and seven million others, unable to defend themselves, were exterminated.’
