Fox & Friends Guest, “Jim Garvin,” Just A “Small Business Owner?”

Written by News Hounds Blog | Sunday, August 7, 2011

He’s an evangelical Christian who is a US team member of “Harvest Evangelism” which is “a network of Christian leaders all over Argentina who have a vision and faith for nation transformation, focusing the Church outside of the four walls to pastor entire cities.”

Move over Joe the Plumber. It looks like the teabaggers might have a new hero. Joe’s replacement could be “Jim Garvin,” the “small business owner” whose You Tube rant, “Are You Kidding Me,” is making the rounds of the right wing, teabagging blogosphere.

Though this self proclaimed ” just an average guy” claims that he’s fed up with party politics, he seems to direct his frustration in the direction of leading Democrats so he might be a wee bit partisan. He clearly doesn’t like taxes, including those on corporate jets.

So given his politics, it wasn’t surprising to see this small business “Joe Hill” (Oh, wait, Joe Hill was a union member. Sorry) on this morning’s Fox & Friends where his message and video were promoted. But while Joe the Plumber wasn’t doing any plumbing, he was still clearly an average blue collar Joe – unlike Mr. Garvin whose claim to be just a Florida “small business owner,” while ever so humble, might be a bit open to debate.

In introducing Jim Garvin, Fox’s Peter Johnson Jr. said that “we found his video on You Tube” which articulates the anti-tax message “much better than we can.” He added “we liked his message so much that we tracked him down.” He introduced “Jim Garvin” from Tampa Florida.

Garvin was given a platform from which to preach the same gospel that he preached on his video. At no point did either he or Johnson identify what “small business he owns.” So that got me curious and I did a little digging.
