    Well they’ve finally done it, found someone less informed and less educated than Sarah Palin – Joe the Plumber. he’s joined the McCain team and at a rally agreed with with a member of the audience that “Obama would be dangerous for Israel”.

    When being interviewd by Shepard Smith on Fox, Joe was asked why he said Obama would be bad for Israel. The response – “people should look around and see why I said that”. Smith was outraged, he kept asking the guy for an example that Obama would be bad for Israel. He was so angry, he made a point of saying something like “The Obama campaign has always announced their support of Israel, there is nothing out there indicating anything else”.

    Hard to believe someone at Fox news would basically come out and basically say the guy he was interviewing, despite being pro mccain, was full of crap. This is the first time i’ve ever seen anything on Fox that resembled journalism.

    I actually happen to see that segment live. Shepard Smith has always been pretty fair when compared to the others on FOG news. (Fog news is my new name for fox news)

    The worst are those three clowns on early morning. They spend most of their time on Obama negatives. Same as they did with Kerry in 2004. It’s not that they back GOP candidates it’s that they strongly claim to be fair and balanced when in reality they’re not that I find insulting as well as distrubing.

    If I interpret the meaning of fair and balanced correctly I should not be able to tell which party they back so flagrantly.

    Although CNN leans left I find them much more even in their presentation of both sides, on a time slot to time slot comparision.

    Fognews just doesn’t lean right, they remind me of a seesaw with only one person on it.

    Joe has finally revealed himself as the Republican shill that he always was. What a media circus.

    The notion that CNN is somehow left wing, is silly. Lou Dobbs, Larry King and gang are far from a bunch of leftist. MSNBC with Olberman and Maddow have chosen to be the left wing fox. I like watching Olberman, usually, but it’s not a news show, it’s a look at just news that Keith/editors want to show you to beat on the Right.

    I can imagine that some fox on air personality want to be thought of as fair and balanced themselves, this is just my first encounter with it.

    I think he will make a few million from the Ohio goverment when they looked into his state records without cause.

    I felt that he was a plant from the start. Him and Palin should be a great ticket in 2012! :D These two must have their party in an uproar behind the scenes! :roflmao:


    Joe Wurzelbacher, a.k.a. “Joe the Plumber,” on Tuesday twice agreed with a claim from an audience member at a John McCain rally that “a vote for Barack Obama is a vote for the death to Israel.”

    Wurzelbacher was hitting the campaign trail on behalf of McCain for the first time, joining former Rep. Rob Portman on a GOP bus tour through Ohio.

    At a stop in Columbus, he fielded the question on Israel from a self-identified Jewish senior citizen.

    The questioner said he was “concerned” with Barack Obama’s associations and “It’s my belief that a vote for Obama is a vote for the death to Israel.”

    Wurzelbacher responded: “I do know that.”

    The questioner then complained about Obama’s tax policies and reiterated his Israel comment.

    “Well, you know what, I’ll actually go ahead and agree with you on that one,” Wurzelbacher said. “You know … no, I agree with ya.'”

    Wurzelbacher’s first trip to the podium as a McCain surrogate was freewheeling. He often apologized to reporters gathered in a flag store for talking from his gut.

    “I’m honestly scared for America,” Wurzelbacher said.

    He later said Obama would end the democracy that the U.S. military had defended during wars.

    “I love America. I hope it remains a democracy, not a socialist society. … If you look at spreading the wealth, that’s honestly right out of Karl Marx’s mouth,” Wurzelbacher said.
    “No one can debate that. That’s not my opinion. That’s fact.”

    Though “Joe the Plumber” has become a centerpiece of McCain’s campaign in the closing days of the presidential race, McCain aides told FOX News the Republican nominee does not share Wurzelbacher’s opinion on Obama’s view toward Israel.

    Obama states on his Web site that he strongly supports the U.S.-Israel relationship, as well as Israel’s right to defend itself and foreign assistance to the country.

    McCain, though, has suggested Obama’s commitment to Israel is not as deep as it should be.

    A McCain TV ad out Tuesday ridicules Obama for saying Iran, whose president is openly hostile toward Israel, is a “tiny” country that “doesn’t pose a serious threat.”

    The narrator says: “Terrorism, destroying Israel, those aren’t serious threats? Obama — dangerously unprepared to be president.”

    I’ll just post some info. so that everyone can make up their own mind. Google has a ton of it also. :D


    First, he’s quite confrontational with Obama: he’s aggressive and speaks in sound-bite-ready clips. When he’s interviewed by Neil Cavuto after the debate in which he was featured a couple of dozen times, Joe says that Obama did not convince him, that Obama “scared” him and his policies seemed “socialist.” It’s not up to the government to decide what happens to his hard-earned money.

    Give me a break. Joe, the undecided voter? Joe is a plant: he’s an attractive, magnetic everyman employed to sell the McCain message in an unconventional way. No wonder Johnnie Boy was so excited to jump on the Joe the Plumber story: Joe was never undecided at all. I might have bought the storyline if Joe hadn’t been so polished, so readily equipped with talking points, in his interviews. But it’s difficult to believe that someone who is undecided at this point might have determined Obama to be a socialist on Wednesday night – at the same time, coincidentally, that the entire Republican establishment unveils a new line of attack according to which Obama is a socialist. B.S.

    For the record, Joe’s taxes will not go up under Obama’s tax plan. Even the premise is false.

    Even the Plumber to the Stars has admitted he went over to where obama was to ask the questions.

    I remember in the 1854 there was the “Know Nothing Movement” now we have the “Know Nothing – No Honesty” Party, the Palin Pitbulls

    wow..

    So the answer obama gave was a plant? And when you see Biden and Obama laughing that a plumer can make 250K the next day you would rather beat up on Joe?

    Bunch of ObamaBots arent we?
