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.'"

Joe the Plumber 3:45 PM to be on Shep Smith.
So what? Tell the truth and let the chips fall where they may. He'll get more voters than he'll turn off. Everyone suspects that's there's not something right about Obama. It's refreshing to hear someone say what's on everyone's mind.
Yeah...Shep [panties in a wad] Smith is all in a tither...he just said Joe has agreed to be on in the 2nd hour and he WILL ASK him about that statement.
Look out Joe you just made the front page of the junk rated New York Times hit piece. They are sending their last two reporters by bus to Ohio.
Hmm, curious idea.
(look tagline)
This must be a trend.My oil burner tech was cleaning our
burner this morning while lecturing me on Keynesian economics! I asked him who was going to win the series and
he told me to get serious.WOW
OMG
Shepherd smith is doing his melo dramatic girlie hissy fit again about this
why on earth does FOX have this idiot working for them
Not so sure about that.
One huge advantage we have as conservatives is the ability to authentically and truthfully say what we truly believe without alienating 80% of the population.
This is something the left cannot do. If they spoke as they believe, they wouldn’t get elected to dog catcher.
Nobama’s next obvious move:
“Shyeah right! What does a PLUMBER know about Foreign Policy? Once again this demonstrates the Republicans’ lack of depth and experience where it matters the most! Or maybe McCain intends to make Joe the Plumber the next Secretary of State...”
I just heard a trap snap shut: problem is I can’t tell whether it was one of ours or one of theirs...
What,
Palin/Wurzelbacher
won’t fit on your car?
just seen shep smith act all dramatic about this
the man is such an idiot I wish FOX would get rid of him
I really don’t like that Joe is campaigning for McCain now. I think he would be most effective when viewed as a regular guy without an agenda. He will lose credibility with independents if he starts to look like just another partisan.
Um... if Israel is “overrun and destroyed”,
we’ve all got bigger things to worry about than refugees from Israel, if you know what I’m “Revealing”.
>”It’s my belief that a vote for Obama is a vote for the death to Israel.”<
I doubt that that opinion reverberates with the Jewish population.
Hey, Mate, All’s good-No worries-I’m moving to Christchurch!
I watch Fox and Friends
anytime Megan Kelly is on
Greta now every night now. Its the only night time show Rush goes on.
LOL. The horse is already out of the barn on that score. I don't think that Joe will have to worry about it after Nov. 4. :)
Agree and agree. This blows my mind.
McCain has so little credibility, he needs all the surrogates he can get.
