Man, how far over the line do you have to go to have FoxNews call your wacko RightWing views "Frightening"?



McCain Endorses Joe The Plumber’s View That Obama Victory Means ‘Death To Israel’

Today, Joe “the Plumber” Wurzelbacher hit the campaign trail on behalf of Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) for the first time, joining former Bush OMB Director Rob Portman on a GOP bus tour through Ohio. Stopping at a flag store, Wurzelbacher twice agreed with a questioner who said that “a vote for Obama is a vote for the death to Israel.”


Fox News brought Wurzelbacher on to discuss his claims, but despite host Shepard Smith’s best efforts, Wurzelbacher refused to explain why he agreed with the nonsensical claim:



SMITH: Joe, do you know Barack Obama’s positions on Israel?


WURZELBACHER: Listen, I know you wanna really get some answers on this one, I’m just not gonna help you out here, Shepherd. Let people go out and find, that’s what I’ve been telling people. Listen, you don’t want my opinion on foreign policy. I know just enough probably to be dangerous.


SMITH: Yeah, well that’s what I was kinda wondering.


Smith also read a statement from the McCain campaign standing firmly behind Wurzelbacher’s absurd claims:



While he’s clearly his own man, so far Joe has offered some penetrating and clear analysis that cuts to the core of many of the concerns that people have with Barack Obama’s statements and policies.


Wurzelbacher’s unfounded claims — backed by McCain — were clearly too much even for a Fox News host. Smith grew increasingly exasperated during the interview, and forcefully clarified that Obama is committed to a strong friendship with Israel. At the end, Smith called the whole thing “frightening.”

Maybe Joe saw the "Rashid Khalidi" tape.

>>The McCain campaign needs to dump him, because this isn't going to help them.<<

Sorry Sopal, but I'll have to disagree. I smell an October surprise...maybe it's McCain dumping Palin and taking on Joe for VP (hey I can dream, can't I?)

Oh please. If your Obamessiah can't take having the truth about him known, then he should skulk back into the shadows.

That's pretty bad when Shepard Smith thinks you are crazy.
