Campaigning for John Mccain, Joe the Plumber agreed with a comment on the trail from a McCain supporter that "a vote for Obama is a vote for the death of Israel."

The McCain camp issued a statement in response to Joe's remarks that generally condoned them.

FOX news called out Joe's remarks restating Barack Obama's position that the U.S. will remain a a strong ally to Israel under his Presidency.

First Sarah Palin now Joe the Plumber! McCain knows how to pick them.

1. It's Time For The Village People To Leave The Stage...

...or more accurately, the village idiot...

11. As "un-PC" as this may sound, can we start calling him "Joe the Retard"?

[Bicoastal]

2. You have to pinch yourself sometimes...

...to make sure you haven't fallen into a parallel dimension.

So a guy with absolutely no qualifications to talk about anything publicly agrees with some racist yahoo that Obama wants to destroy Israel, can't explain why or his candidate's position, and now Fox News tries to talk him out of it?

Insane.

4. Notice how Joe says he doesn't know McCain's position?

So, Joe, you're supporting McCain but you don't know his position on Isreal, but you are certain about Obama's position because he said he'd meet with Ahmadinejad???

[bulloney]

14. Sounds like Joe is laying a good foundation for some future political run.

NOT!!

[Beaverhausen]

3. this is surreal on so many levels

First, nice to see follow-ups from a reporter.

Next, was the RNC really having Joe go out and give policy speeches?

And then there's the RNC statement about his "penetrating analysis..."

I mean, my god, this is breathtaking.

[TheManagement]

5. WOW, I give up.

John McCain is a despicable man of absolutely no shame who will do whatever it takes to get to the oval office. He may be a war hero, but he has no shame whatsoever. This is disgusting. If I were Obama I would get on the stage tomorrow and BLAST McCain for condoning this crap and trouncing up fear for Israelis.

Joe Wurzelbacher donated to McCain before he met Obama, he's not an independent undecided voter. He's a clown.

6. Since when did Joe the Plumber become an expert on ANYTHING?

He was just a plant in the crowd....

[berni_mccoy]

7. Wow, I'm impressed with the caster's comments at the end.

[spelldmilk]

8. yeah…that was very…human.

[Hyper_Eye]

16. Too bad he is a right-wing douche the rest of the time. n/t

[ksimons]

9. how many idiots can you fit into one elevator heading down?

don't answer yet. they keep getting on the McCain express

[Ned_Devine]

10. Shep is better than the others on Fox, I'll give hm that

[Kalifornia.Kid]

12. Joe - STFU and stick with unlicensed plumbing

[bulloney]

15. I think Joe's inhaled too much PVC glue or something.

Why is this guy getting any attention on anything? He's as phony as a $3 bill.

Ladies and gentlemen---the new face of the Republican party. Enjoy!

[manray11]

13. Are you guys serious?

You're actually responding to this garbage,Joe isn't even a plumber and Fox are hardly a News channel..Why bother?
Anyway, if Obama could somehow help (Impossible, but hope dies last) restore Palestine back to the Palestinians it would be justice and a truly noble and fine thing for the world. Funny head gear and fundamentalism is the root of all evil on this planet.

18. they're doing a lot better over there

The people's have conceded to the reality they face. They're only a few map-lines away from a peace-agreement.

[dapper]

17. It's friggin scary

It truly is, people are just nuts.

Joe can report his beliefs but cannot give details to how he came up with the idea that Obama wants to destroy Israel? Maybe it is the PVC glue!

People in general seem to be off their rockers over this. The Christian Right, which you would figure they are Christian and would do the right thing, basically think he is Satin.

Election day cannot come a moment too soon.

Dap

19. The reason Joe is such a good little right wing tool

is because he gets a full dose of Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity and a couple of local Limbaugh wannabes from his favorite station WSPD out of Toledo, Ohio. He was on there today saying how he's a fan. Notice how he doesn't know anything about Obama's stand on Israel, and how he has such a hard time explaining why he thinks the way he does. Scary!
