I think JtP is probably more analagous to someone like Sheehan. When it comes to those kooky uncles that the other side makes you own, there are several categories in my mind. 1)There are those who get an outsized voice by leverage their innate celebrity, like say Sean Penn. 2) Then there is the pundit class, who manufactured their celebrity over time by loudly and repeatedly yelling outrageous but entertaining things, like say Ann Coulter. 3) Then there are those semi-regular folks who are granted celebrity because they have an evocative story that some politician, party, or media member shines an opportunistic spotlight on. That probably includes JtP and Sheehan. Although both made serious efforts to cross over. 4)maybe we need an activist class for those who get some celebrity through years of earnest if kooky committment. Sheehan could go here. No prob Rich.

He asks one good question, and now conservatives have to "own" the rest of his thoughts and opinions. You are right, JtP is the Michael Moore of the right. But, the left still has Sean Penn, Rosie ODonnell, Cindy Sheehan, Hugo Chavez, etc.... Kritter,
Thanks for pointing out that every group has it’s “kooky uncles” that everyone would like to ignore, but can’t. He asks one good question, and now conservatives have to “own” the rest of his thoughts and opinions.

You are right, JtP is the Michael Moore of the right. But, the left still has Sean Penn, Rosie ODonnell, Cindy Sheehan, Hugo Chavez, etc….

You know, like your go-to posts on the idiotic Limbaugh statement of the week. If you're interested in instituting the fairness doctrine here at Donklephant, and want to institute a pairing of such posts with a <i>douches on the left</i> feature, I'd be happy to help out. That reminds me, anyone know what Cindy Sheehan and Michael Moore have been up to lately? I've missed their insight. Or is this part of your ongoing series on douches of the right?

Given how appalling you find him, what confuses me is why you seem to be making a substantial effort to extends his 15 minutes of fame to 16 or 17. Can't we all just stipulate that this guy is a total cementhead, and move on? I would have no knowledge whatsoever of the ongoing exploits of JtP without you Justin.

It isn't even funny anymore. He just falls deeper into a pit of shame with every comment he makes. If everyone just let Sam slip into obscurity we could talk about something else. Maybe he could move to Alaska with Palin and they could shut the Hell up together. Why do people still care what this man says? It isn’t even funny anymore.

And not a very bright one either - just a schmoe with nothing to say, a media creation that the media shouldn't cover anymore. Is this supposed to stir the base? The narrow minded, bigoted demographic of "regular Joe's"? Please...this clowns 15 minutes we're up months ago. He isn’t a plumber – he’s an opportunist.
