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.'"

Palin/Plumber 2008!
i think he’s right too. I think Obama is really really bad news for Israel.
Watch the spin. The MSM regards this as a problem. Not to think it, but to say it. Very un-PC.
Oh my goodness. We have been lucky with regular ole folks this election havent we???? We need to quit looking for our next leader in the mansions and find them playing football with their kids in the front yards.
McCain needs to be careful with Joe. He’s a big plus for McCain right now, but that could change if they give him too much exposure. He will end up saying something that gets him in trouble.
Even if what he said is true, it will come across as extremist and the MSM will make McCain look bad for it. Joe may have jumped the shark.
Very un PC. If McCain would learn from Joe, he’d win in a landslide.
No kidding, Sarah/Joe 2012!
Hey, that’s my bumper sticker.
I hang out in political chat every now and again, well way too much for my own good actually. Anyways, the libtards were saying that McCain, bringing Joe the Plumber into the debate was going to kill McCain’s campaign. This is one more proof they have no idea what they are talking about.
One of the things I say to drive the Libtards nuts is say that we should increase aid to Israel. Which I believe we should do, but they can’t even discuss the issue rationally.
Nah. Joe just won admiration for some real straight talk. Unlike Mccain’s dissembling.
bump
Straight talk express... that’s how McCain calls it. Joe said the truth. Obama will neuter us and leave Israel hang out to dry. The truth hurts.
OK, nobody here thinks this statement will be negative for the McCain campaign right? Shep Smith is trying to make a big deal about this. I think it does not hurt McCain.
I like Joe's foreign policy better.
That’s because Shep is too busy dreaming about his date with Anderson tonight to figure out what real people think.
He didnt say it he agreed with it, right? What is wrong with that. Shep is a shit. I need his email.
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
