Add freshman tea party Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) to the list of Republicans attacking Sandra Fluke after her appearance at the Democratic National Convention.

At a campaign stop Saturday in Addison, IL, Walsh, who faces a tough reelection battle, went on a self-described rant about Fluke, attacking her support for contraception coverage and telling the law student to “get a job.”

1. Deadbeat Dad

Should a Deadbeat father being telling anyone to get a job? Joe: You are such a LOSER!

[madrchsod]

2. i hope the restaurant can find seating for all his followers and....

their paying customers.

looks like "joe momentum" is reaching critical mass!

[47of74]

46. If he showed up while I was eating I would have asked for the bill..

...paid up, and left the premises. Regardless of how far along I was with the meal.

[Bigredhunk]

3. Jesus

I had more people present when I lost my virginity, and I was alone.

This guy has brass telling someone to get a job. Pay your child support, deadbeat.

[DonViejo]

5. LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the GREAT laugh!

[MrScorpio]

6. This never gets old

[Flaggkilledgod]

7. Ummm...

1) Doesn't Fluke have a job as a lawyer?
2) Why isn't this assclown in jail for refusing to pay back child support like anyone else would be?

[rurallib]

25. it would never happen, but I would love to see

Fluke hired by Joe's kids to recover ALL the money he was supposed to have supported them with.

[They_Live]

8. Actually, Joe

Fluke wants her insurance to pay for contraception, if I understand correctly. Fluke pays for her insurance. So what's wrong with that? And speaking of jobs, you want me to pay for your salary, when you can't take care of your own kids?? Maybe someone should have provided you with some free contraception. hmmm?

[freshwest]

17. +1

[LovingA2andMI]

9. So these 10-15 people

Support this idiot that had a JOB but refused to pay his freaking CHILD SUPPORT!

Wow, I hate to say it but some folks are complete idiots!

[Quasimodem]

10. First get a brain, Joe!

Sandra Fluke asked the government to compel Georgetown University to not sequester contraceptive drugs from the list of what is covered by their student medical insurance policy, in spite of Georgetown University’s religious bias against artificial contraception.

Treating Ms. Fluke as his fellow Republicans so often treat others, Joe is merely misrepresenting her reasonable request as an unreasonable request, and then chiding her for that misrepresented unreasonableness.

I’m hoping the demographic for Lincoln’s “some of the people” who can be fooled "all of the time" is much smaller than Republican candidates appear to be counting upon.

[frazzled]

11. It's Mr. Walsh who will be looking for a job in a few months

Just sayin'.

[GoCubsGo]

12. Yep.

I look forward to seeing Tammy Duckworth kick his ass in November. Hopefully, we'll never hear from this shit-stain again after that.

[rsweets]

13. The only reason he won his election

was that no one would vote for Melissa Bean..
It is sad we had to put up with this pudd for two years,
but now we have the chance to get a real democrat
in place. Tammy will win, Tammy will rock.
(nice crowd deadbeat)

[whathehell]

27. I volunteered on Bean's campaign and I would have to disagree

Bean lost to Walsh by only 295 votes....What really lost the vote for

her was a guy named Bill Scheur who ran as a third party candidate

to the left of Bean.

My understanding is that he had a personal beef with Bean,

but whatever that was worth, his brilliant strategy allowed this Tea Party Idiot to win.

P.S. I was no big fan of Bean's, by the way, but she was light years

better than this prick.

[rsweets]

44. I stand corrected

I was projecting ...

I should have said that "I would

not vote for her based on her voting with the republicans

on damn near everything(Most social issues excluded.)",

and that it was the first time in 42 years I left a box unchecked

for a democrat.

I hope we agree that Tammy has the potential to be light years

better than both of them?

[whathehell]

45. Okay...I will agree with you that Tammy would be better if

you will agree that Bean would have been FAR better than Tea bagger Joe Walsh

because Bill Scheur didn't have a snowballs's chance in hell of being elected and THAT is why we

got the asshole JW.

[SoapBox]

14. DEADBEAT Dad...

Don't even go there, scumbag!

[LuvLoogie]

15. If I were that guy behind Walsh...

I'd tell Walsh to get his ass out of my face. "I'm trying to eat here!"

I got the chance to loudly boo him twice last year. He was at a rock show to benefit the Wounded Warriors Project. The MC announced that he would be speaking between bands, and I immediately booed. There were not a lot of people there, so my lone boo filled the small venue. When he came on, I loudly booed again.

This was before news of his deadbeatiness hit the news. So I am feeling more than vindicated since.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

16. Hey asswipe (Walsh)

Unless Sandra Fluke lives in your district you have better things do worry about.

[freshwest]

18. There must be a major wingnut meme going on Fluke since the convention. The comments on the Youtube

Page of the video of her speech at the DNC had some of the most abusive, slanderous I've seen so I won't put them here to read.

[CBHagman]

21. You're not kidding.

I went to have a look-see and found replies that were at best ignorant and in the main hateful. I stopped reading when I got to the guy who said health insurance was a luxury.

[CBHagman]

19. The venom directed at this young woman...

...speaks volumes to me about the other party and what motivates them. From dirty trickster Roger Stone and his tweet expressing a wish that Ms. Fluke had been taken for a ride by the late Senator Kennedy to Joe Walsh's phony concern for the poor (and complete misrepresentation of the issues, including the Affordable Care Act) to of course Limbaugh's multi-day tirade, misogyny is alive and well and deeply ingrained in today's 'can Party.

[Flaggkilledgod]

20. Correct me if I'm wrong...

...But isn't this the guy who said you should vote for him because unlike his female opponent he "Doesn't wear high heels"?

[niyad]

24. welcome to DU--had forgotten that sexist remark!!

[whathehell]

29. He's an asshole, but I don't believe he said that one...He DID just insult Tammy Duckworth, though

by saying something similarly stupid during the DNC convention, like "I guess she's

just figuring out what dress to wear", something like that.

That woman lost both her legs in Iraq...She's a hero, he's a dickwad.

[Historic NY]

22. my reply to the blowhard

@RepJoeWalsh after Nov 6th your going to need to get a J-O-B - to pay off
that child support. #p2b #du #DNC2012

[Zambero]

23. HE'LL need a job soon!

Not that he's even close to doing his job now!

[Dawson Leery]

26. Says the Deadbeat Dad.

[Ellipsis]

28. That Ashleigh, Ashleigh, Ashleigh... guy

[whathehell]

41. OMG. It's "Sixty Two Times Chris" again. He did the same thing to Tweety on Hardball awhile ago

and the next day Chris announced the NUMBER of times he'd said his name and it was SIXTY TWO!

The guy is an obnoxious JOKE and and Ms. Banfield merits some sort of Journalistic Badge of Patience

for actually having to INTERVIEW this jerk..He comes off not only rude, but STUPID.

I wish she did what Tamron Hall did awhile ago with some other Right Wing Blowhard who wouldn't stop

talking over her, and just CUT HIM Off!!

[Dustin DeWinde]

30. A man who refuses to provide for his children

Is the lowest form of human being there is. If Walsh had any shame he would resign from congress, get a job closer to his kids and spend some time making amends for being such a complete douchebag

[Kalidurga]

31. Wow, the dead beat dad has spoken.

There are people that don't get the connection between dead beat dads and birth control. Really, I saw a comment about it. I think someone needs to sit down with those people and explain the birds and the bees.

[Kalidurga]

32. Sandra Fluke has a couple of jobs btw I don't know how much they pay...

From the website of a hater. I included the link if you wish to verify the amount of sheer venom this man is capable of. He paints her honorable service to women as something that a person should be ashamed of. I can almost see the spittle flying out of his mouth as he says feminist activist. And he claims she is not looking out for her fellow citizens at the same time she is working to end human trafficking, say what?


Sandra Fluke is far from the average citizen that the left loves to portray her as. In her career she has headed the Georgetown Law Students for Reproductive Justice group as well as worked for several groups dealing with battered women and human trafficking. Fluke is not a typical citizen looking out for her fellow citizens at all. She is a feminist activist

[truth2power]

36. Jeebus! We wouldn't want to have anyone advocating for JUSTICE, reproductive or otherwise. ..

Swear ta' god....I think a lot about David Icke and his theory that they're all some kind of reptiles or something. It does make you wonder....

[47of74]

33. Fuck you, Joe Walsh

You cheap, rotten, no good, lying, four flushing, inbred sack of teabilly doucherocket horseshit!

[lastlib]

34. I have placed a reminder on my Outlook calendar for Election Day:

Tell Joe Walsh to "GET A JOB!"

[truth2power]

35. I wonder who pays for his viagra - I doubt he can get it up without

some pharmaceutical assistance.

And doesn't he have govt. subsidized health insurance?

Oh, and isn't he the same person who had a meet-up at some bar & grill awhile back and a woman was trying to ask him an important question and he told he she'd have to leave (a pubilc facility) if she didn't shut up?

What an odious little turd!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

37. He has government health plan ... when Walsh is not OUT OF WORK. He needs a REAL JOB, soon.

* Bank foreclosed on his condo.
* Sued for $20,000 unpaid campaign management services
* Drivers license suspended for lapsed insurance.
* Sued for $117,000 past due child support from 2005 to 2011
Note: Walsh told his ex-wife he didn't have the money because ...
[font size="+1"]... because he was out of work."[/font] (Chicago Sun Times)

Following Walsh's victory in the 2010 Republican primary, it was reported that a bank had foreclosed on his condo and he had been evicted in October 2009, but that he and his family were living in a rented house in the Chicago North Shore suburb of Winnetka at the time.[1] A GOP spokesman said that voters would likely identify with Walsh's financial troubles.[1] He was also reportedly facing a lawsuit by a former campaign manager who claimed Walsh owed him $20,000 for services.[1] and had had federal and state tax liens in the 1980s and 1990s (all paid by 2001).[18] Walsh explained that the major portion of the past due taxes were on a college trust fund he received from his grandfather and that neither he nor his family had been aware that the funds were taxable.[18] He also explained that his more recent financial struggles have made him more attuned to the difficulties faced by the average constituent.[18]

In July 2011, the Chicago Sun-Times reported that Walsh's ex-wife, Laura, was suing him for $117,437 for past due child support dating from 2005 for three of the children.[14] Walsh allegedly told his ex-wife that he did not have the money because he was out of work.[14][61] Walsh's attorney said that Walsh did not owe "anywhere near that amount," and that he had had no more problems paying child support than "any other average guy".[61] Walsh and his ex-wife were reportedly trying to work out a settlement of the disputed past due amount as of late July 2011.[14] Walsh's financial problems inspired the proposal of a bill which would forbid people owing more than $10,000 in back child support from running for office in Illinois.[62] On April 20, 2012, a judge dismissed the child-support dispute. In a joint statement Walsh and his ex-wife Laura stated, "Having resolved these issues together and cleared up these mistakes in private, we now agree that Joe is not and was not a 'deadbeat dad' and does not owe child support."[63]

In August 2011, the Chicago Tribune reported that Walsh lost his driving privileges from mid-April to mid-July 2011 because he let his insurance lapse. In response, Walsh criticized the Tribune for "wast[ing] time and ink scrutinizing [his] driving record over the last 22 years rather than Washington's unsustainable spending".[19]

[smirkymonkey]

40. Nice work.

It's good to have the facts. Of course, Walsh doesn't seem to think so or for that matter, neither does any other republican.

God, he just never shuts up does he? What a blowhard!

[whathehell]

42. Yes, I believe he was actually having his congressional paycheck garnished before he finally paid up

No, he never does shut his mouth and it's like he doubled down on some Dale Carnegie

course that told him Saying People's Names was "effective" for something and went to town

with it...Along with his other sterling qualities, he's STUPID as hell in my opinion.

[mimi85]

38. I get nauseous

every time I see or hear this scumbag. Remember when LO banned him from his show forever? I loved that! Piece of trash - I'm sure Tammy will kick his sorry ass on election night. I was very moved by her speech at the DNC.

Wow, there are SO many interesting races going on, I'm really looking forward to November. Bet Akin will be looking for a job as well. Just remembered when he didn't show up on Piers' show and Piers (who I normally can't stand) ripped him a new one!

[oldsarge54]

39. Yahoo thinking

Prior to discovering DU, I fought the good fight on yahoo. These candidates seem to be saying what the rights says on yahoo. Do they really believe themselves? I mean, they kept asking am I gay, that I need to get a job, that I was never in the military, etc adnauseum. What is the Republican base then? This congress critter sounds like a yahoo poster.

[CBHagman]

43. Logical fallacies, plus garden-variety homophobia and the like.

Oh, the "get a job" thing is a biggie. It's the right-wing straw man argument marshaled against anything -- health care coverage, the safety net, etc.

[url]http://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/strawman[/url]

Note that the right not only vilifies Sandra Fluke and twists her words but sneers at Sister Simone Campbell's recounting of the people she's met and the challenges they are facing -- e.g., the young boys who were sole caregivers for their seriously ill mother.
