'Joe the Plumber' Backs Claim That Obama Would Bring 'Death to Israel'

Fox ^ | 10/28/08 | staff

[pissant]

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.'"

Jesse Jackson said the same thing. So has Rev. Wright. Louis Farrakhan. Joe just picked up on Obama friends have been saying.

Oh boy, he’s gonna get it now.

> Hey, Mate, All’s good-No worries-I’m moving to Christchurch!

Truly? That’s great news, mate! Christchurch is a magical place, ay — my wife and I wanted to live there, but I went to where the jobs were at the time. Still, maybe one day...

Hope you managed to get some good weather while you were here.

McCain has more credibility than you..........

...if you know what I'm "Revealing".

Yes indeed. I've read the book starting with "R" and we may well be headed in that direction.

[ml/nj]

I think Obama is really really bad news for Israel.

I think he's really bad news for America. The Israelis will know that they have to dismiss the concerns of a President Obama and so long as they do they might be okay.

“....just seen shep smith act all dramatic about this

the man is such an idiot I wish FOX would get rid of him...”

His time slot is being filled by Glenn Beck in the spring of ‘09.

Shep is not watchable.

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.

I agree. It's one thing for him to ask Obama a tough question when he comes by Joe's neighborhood. It's another to go on the road with McCain espousing foreign policy positions.

Now I don't think he IS just another partisan. I think he got pushed into this by all the abuse he was taking from the left. But a casual observer might not see that.

[Ciexyz]

Joe's making use of his fifteen minutes, er, days of fame. He's riding a surge of interest. We can forgive him for that. I for one appreciate the fact that he's come out to tell the truth about Obama, questioning Obama's support for Israel. Somebody's got to bring that up.

[CanadianMusherinMI]

they already dug through his primary vote, the msm has already made him out to be a partisan. what does he have to lose? he is another straight talker, a regular American like sarah and todd. it is what Americans want, and they listen. stick mccain, obama and joe the plumber on tv, together and joe is the only one that will perk ears

[manc]

he’s still going on and on

09 cannot come quick enough to see the end of him.

[proudtobeanamerican1]

I don’t particulary enjoy Shep, but maybe he knows he is being watched. He is getting it out there, but not condoning it. I’m just happy it is out there.

[top 2 toe red]

Oh...Shep is SOOOO taking up for Obama. Did you hear his last statement?

[Busywhiskers]

I agree with old Joe. If, as Biden the Wise tells us, Obama is going to be tested within six months after taking office, (God forbid), then it our friends such as the Baltic states, Israel, Columbia, South Korea, Taiwan, and the Ukraine that are probably going to feel the heat. Our military will ultimately pay the butcher’s bill for our national flirtation with this disingenuous Marxist.

[TheThinker]

Just saw Joe being interviewed with Shepard Smith. He basically just said that’s what he believes. The smartest answer is the truth, that Obama will allow the Arab states attack Israel and then tell both sides to “show restraint”.

You are doing great, Joe!! Just make your statements, don’t answer questions.
