1. I actually think this is good
The more people hear the label "socialist" applied to someone like Barack Obama, who is popular and clearly not a socialist, the less negative the label becomes.
Same with "Liberal".

2. I had the same thought
although I don't find him handsome, I do find him remarkably glib. I smell a rat. Remember "Old Shoe" from Wag the Dog?

3. I'm probably going to catch hell for this but I'll say it anyways...
Joe the Plumber is no skinhead. He just has a shaved head.

I'm not defending the guy in the least. But skinheads and this plumber person have little in common.

5. Sure, but if this guy is a marketing tool as I suspect, his look will speak to that demo as well n/t

7. Again, I'm not trying to ruffle anyone's feathers
But to suggest that skinheads identify with Joe the Plumber, be them non racist (the majority) or racist, is akin to suggesting that Hillary Clinton fans will identify with Sarah Palin because she can spawn.

8. The skinhead thing isn't fair.
Come on man, some of us lost our hair awfully prematurely and not willing to deal with the plugs, rugs, or drugs. Shaving the rest off is pretty much the best answer at that point.

Stop the hate :(

9. I know what you mean, it is more or less a style by many men today. It was a goofy observation by
the OP. It can get that way in politics sometimes. You know, the red meat factor.
