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, Shepard. 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. … [T]here is good reason to question the judgement that Obama would bring to the Oval Office.

Watch it:

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.”

Update Matt Duss explored how the Bush-McCain Iraq war has had profoundly negative consequences for Israel's security. "Iran has been the single biggest beneficiary of the American invasion and occupation of Iraq," Duss wrote. "Rather than weakening Iranian hard-liners, as the Iraq war’s advocates insisted it would, the American invasion only strengthened them" -- and hurt Israel in the process.

    Have we actually seen Palin and Joe in the same room? Because the similarity here . . . just sayin’.

    Give me a friggin break. Joe-the-FRIGGEN-Plumber.
    The GOOPS are seriously loosing it


  3. Nevar says:

    He knows just enough about plumbing to be backed up to his eyeballs.


  4. paleolib says:

    Looks like the Republicans plan on merging with the Natural Law Party any day now. Pretty sad when you have to send the skinhead militia types out to scare up votes.


  5. dbadass says:

    So Israel really is gonna be wiped off the map? Wow! I suppose we can stop worrying about that little Iranian dude with that jacket from Chess King now…


  6. Bozo The Neoclown says:

    ten bucks says this deadbeat, welfare cheat shill couldn’t find Israel on a globe.


  7. RUCerious says:

    Oh, how I wish that were actually true. Death to the Israeli government, let the people start over with a non-fascist group next time.


  8. Tired of being lied to says:

    It appears that Joe the Plumber and Sarah the Governor got all their foreign policy knowledge(paper thin as it is) from the same place. That is scary stuff. And we are supposed to take either/both of them seriously?

    This is the best they can do? Really?

    Someone needs to tell McOld that Joe is really Sam. Oh,… and he’s not a plumber (not that that matters to these freaks).


  10. RWeSafer says:

    It’s one thing to say BS on the campaign trail. Americans can sift through most assertions without really hurting anything.

    But to make claims like this, that might encourage additional security problems for the US as a result of actions taken by Israel — IS TREASON!


  11. Bozo The Neoclown says:

    perhaps grampy mcinsane is planning on tapping joe the plumber for secretary of state

    Joe the plumber has more foreign experience than Obama, so what is Toilet Papers Point? Greenland Wheatears birds have more foreign experience than Obama. I have a 3 year old niece that got a globe for her birthday last week and she has more foreign experience than B.O.

  16. AverageTodd says:

    This guy is a clown. Give me a break. And the media is wrong for looking into this guy? He is calling into a national TV program! OH, JOE (sigh). Go away.


  17. Anonymouse says:

    This “Joe” guy is starting to smell very, very hinky.

    Like having been trained in public speaking, etc.

    We know Joe’s not Joe, and he’s not a plumber. What is he?


  18. Chocolate Jesus says:

    can someone please talk to someone at the IRS about prosecuting joe for willfully not paying his taxes? why the heck does he care how much he’s taxed, its obvious deadbeats like him wont pay them anyway…


  19. dbadass says:

    Greenland Wheatears
    Damn! That would be a lifer for me!!!!

  22. Chris LeJeune says:

    There is no denying the fact that OIF has made Iran trmendously stronger. Four more years of the same policies under McBush and Iran would have a veritable death grip on the area.

    Vote Democratic and die. Those Republicans are as subtle as waterboarding.


  24. Nevar says:

    Bam Bam: “Joe the plumber has more foreign experience than Obama, so what is Toilet Papers Point?”

    Our point exactly. Joe has vast experience removing foreign objects and gobs of toilet paper from septic systems.


  25. willypowwow says:

    I’ve got to commend Shep Smith for pushing back on this. To hear a Fox guy admit that what is going on is ‘frightening’ gives me a great feeling of hope. Like those robocall workers who walked off the job rather then perpetuate baseless smears. Way to stand up America!


  26. stateofthedivision says:

    The latest chapter in the McCain narrative tour. Guess what, friends of Israel, American Jews prefer Obama 75% to 25%.

    At least the Jerusalem Post reported those numbers.


  27. lurker says:

    Joe also owes over $700 in tickets he got in Az before
    he moved to Ohio. He also had his DL revoked. The McCan’t
    campaign must be desperate to “use” him.

    lol Gramps is really scraping from the bottom if he has to endorse Joe the Plummer’s view. What about his BFF and soul mate Palin’s views? Joe the Plummer should have been his running mate instead of Palin.


  33. superid says:

    Bam Bam, when did they let you back into the day room?


  34. liberalinaredstate says:

    Since he’s not a licensed plumber does this mean he’s not working? Now this moron is actually traveling in his America with the McCain campaign!!!!! REALLY!…he’s being interviewed about foreign policy!?!?!?! REALLY!…Why does McCain hate America so much? Cavuto interviewed Tito the Builder today…it was absolutely hysterical! Tito involked none other than Hugo Chavez…..and he asked that we leave his sweetheart Sarah alone. What Theater!


  35. Chris LeJeune says:

    Every political party currently serving in the Iraqi government originated in Iran, with the only exception of the IIP. The IIP recently suspended all contact with the US. Thanks to OIF, Iran now fully controls Iraqi politics and has a $8 billion dollar/year trade with them. And yet McCain wants us to stay in Iraq forever and to attack Iran. That is why he has repeatedly voted against the troops and veterans. That is why VVA, DAV, and IAVA all give him failing grades for his voting record.


  36. RUCerious says:

    Methinks McIIIrd now wishes he’d selected Joe the Faux day laborer tax evader ignoramus as his Veep candidate.


  37. Bozo The Neoclown says:

    bum-bum just got his ass handed to him on another page when he tried to explain how you can buy a business making a quarter of a million in profit can be bought with absolutely no capital to invest.


  38. Nevar says:

    I think Joe Plumber regrets walking up to Obama that afternoon and opening up his own little bucket of snakes.
    Now he’s desperately trying to gain some fame, notoriety and above all else, money, so that he can keep the hounds of justice at bay as they catch up with his lazy, lackluster and slipshod life.


  39. tarazan says:

    Too much has been made out of the few minutes Joe the Plumber had talking with Obama.

    McCain has now all his candidacy based on the Plumber.

    What McCain & Sarah will be talking about now, if there was no Joe The Plumber?!


  40. lurker says:

    Bam-Bam the point of toilet paper is so easy that even a baby caveman can understand it. Ha.


  41. wolfsinger says:

    McCain is not only without honor. Forgive me, but McCain has turned into a real Dirt Bag. Joe the fricken Plumber has clarity and insight? OMG!

    THIS is the NEW Christian right Republican party 2.0. Palin/Wurzelbacher in 2012. That’s the new Republican litmus test. Palin – Palin – Palin. Bow down or else.

    This is how they will re-invent themselves. For them, its no longer an attack to win Nov 4th. Its a very real ramp up to endless attacks on Obama for the next 4 years!


  42. vandrop says:

    WHAT?!?!?!?

    This is shocking! SHOCKING!! I mean, this is the death not of Israel but the death of rational political discourse in this country. SHUT THIS GUY UP! Why is he allowed to speak to the press about anything. This is seriously F-ed up. We are in big big trouble in America as long as people like this dope are allowed to be given any sort of voice on a national scale. I’m sick to my stomach from watching this travesty.


  43. Bozo The Neoclown says:

    i hope joe the fake plumber brought a little something to help stop the mclame/flailin’ palin campaign on it’s spiral down the toilet.


  44. Brain From Planet Arous says:

    AIPAC, Wall Street, Ethanol/Coal, and The Telecoms love Obama.

    When he gets elected, Israel and Big Corporations have nothing to worry about.

    The Big Question will be what he does with Iran, Russia, Afghanistan, and Perpetual War, since he is following the Bush Administration lies to the tee concerning all of these countries.

    Abortion will be safe, Social Security questionable, drilling for oil highly probable, National Health Care Nil, Nationalized Banks highly probable, and possible gun confiscation.

    ________________________________________________________

    Barack Obama serves on the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He works with legislation having to do with our country’s foreign policy. He has traveled the world far more than Joe the Plumber and (I’m guessing) your three-year-old niece.

    Obama has more foreign policy experience right now than George W. Bush had when he first took office. And just to add icing to the cake, his running mate ALSO has foreign policy experience, something that can’t be said about McCain’s running mate.

    C’mon, you’re not even trying.

    ____________________________________________________________

    They are so obviously scraping the bottom of the barrel by allowing Joe to be their spokesman. It’s really pathetic that it’s come to this.

    My guess is that if there was no Joe the Plumber, McCain and Sarah would just spend their time saying Obama! Marxist! Communist! Anti-Christ! like robots.


  47. pete says:

    Is “Joe” even still employed? It seems that “Joe” hasn’t been doing any plumbing lately. Did his boss figure out that he would be liable for any problems caused by his unlicensed employee?


  48. katy says:

    just heard on XM – AP radio news:

    “joe the plumber is endorsing john mccain.”

    su-prize, su-prize…

    In a week or so Sam Joe or whatever the hell his name is will be hoping to land a spot on some F’ed up reality show that tries to find him a wife or make him a little scratch to pay off his debts with a little to spare for a six pack of canned domestic lager, Ms Palin will be shovelin’ snow in nowheresville forgotten and less well dressed, McCain will trying to stay relevent in the Senate, and the rest of us will be working together to try to set our ship back on course.


  52. impeachcheneythenbush says:

    It’s laughable really. Sarah Palin’s foreign policy experience described as “I can see Russia from Alaska,” and Joe the Plumber as the new foreign policy expert!!??


  53. I. B. Leary says:

    It’s all a shill. “Joe the Plumber, Joe the Tax Cheat, Joe the No License Guy, Joe the Plant, Joe the Troll”. This guy is in way over his head. Now he’s “Joe Looking to Make a Buck.”

  55. Keith says:

    The 16 intelligence agencies of the US have said that the Middle East and the US are LESS secure after our invasion of Iraq.

    The majority of the Israeli people disagree with Israeli foreign policy.


  56. 666lattes says:

    You know what’s really funny? Joe-the-Gimmick is really the best thing that the Republican party has going for it right now.

    Just thought I’d point that out.


  57. fletc3her says:

    Soooo, Wurzelbacher is now a spokesperson for the McCain campaign?! This reads more and more like a Tom Wolfe novel every day.


  58. Hussein McCain says:

    I agree with willypowwow, Shep’s reaction was commendable.
    It meant a lot more coming from Shep than from any non-Fox commentators. Part of the right wing is unhinging itself from the other. It’s a surreal and beautiful thing. But it’s scary too. The loonies are getting loonier. (see Chocolate Jesus’ link)

    (I mean Ken Kesey and crew no disrespect.)


  61. squidbilly says:

    From fake plumber/contractor to fake pundit….is McCain sane unleashing someone so stupid and unqualified to say anything on his campaign trail???? Maybe McCain has had enough of Palin and is using Joe as a surrogate VP???

    Maybe McCain is so cynical that he actually believes that people are gullible and would actually listen to what this guy says.

    For sure, this guy could qualify as a reporter for F**cks News and give up his fake lifestyle and take a real job on Fake News.


  62. pbg says:

    Joe the Plumber is a guy who asked a question. Let’s be charitable–let’s say it was a hypothetical question. You can be anybody and ask a hypothetical question.
    Senator Obama answered him carefully and at length.
    Obama didn’t attack him, didn’t dismiss him out of hand.
    Joe did not ask for clarification, or try to object to any point. He just stood there.
    All of that’s fine.

    But John McCain brings him up in the debate as a Working Class Hero, ignoring all of the reality of the interchange. Obama merely points out that the answer to the question shows his tax plan in a positive light.
    But McCain goes for the snake oil.
    Joe the Plumber is a hero! He ID middle-class America! He’s everything that’s good about America–and he doesn’t like Barack Obama!
    You know what this is?
    This is Elia Kazan’s A Face In the Crowd.
    Go rent it. Get it from Netflix. It will floor you.
    (You’ll also never think of Andy Griffith in the same way again.)
    It’s the old ballyhoo–and it doesn’t matter that there’s not a milligram of substance to it. Joe the Plumber! Joe thee Plumber likes Campbell’s Soup! Joe the Plumber on Dancing With the Stars! And he doesn’t like Barack Obama!

    I don’t even blame Joe. Even that 15 minutes of fame could trriple his salary for a year. A couple of cheap endorsements, jokey ads, cameo appearances could net him a hundred thou–especially if he sticks with the wingnut welfare folks. Hell, he could probably really afford to buy the company after all this.
    Times are tough out there.

    Hey Joe, do you still have a Ohio Drivers License? Or have they revoked it yet, loser.


  66. Jim says:

    This is clear evidence of media bias! Why, Shepherd Smith should have simply allowed poor Joe the Plumber (who should be immune from criticism, especially when he’s out campaigning for John McCain) to state his opinion on cable television, without any filtering! I’ve had it–I refuse to watch that liberal Fox News ever again!

    They won’t win another election until they stop chopping up the US.

    Wow. McCain’s new choice of “some guy” for foreign policy advisor fits rather well with his VP choice of “some lady”. This leads us inexorably to “that dude” as Secretary of Defense and “your mom” at Treasury. I sure hope Obama puts some meta-people in his cabinet if he wins. This is just too much fun.

    …HAHA look at Robert Portman’s face when Joe agrees! ha! classic! that’s the can-I-go-back-to-negotiating-cotton-subsidies-right-now-please face.

    This guy knows only what the RNC tells him to say. That makes him dangerous. Plus he is dumb as dirt.

    Regarding this whole “socialist” meme. I really would love to see someone come back at Hannity, Limbaugh, or anyone on Fox and ask them if they think “spreading the wealth” from the poor and middle class to the very rich is “socialism”. If they say “no”, then ask them why it’s socialism when we do the reverse. I would love to hear one of them answer that question.


  74. ElBruce says:

    Yeah, there’s how to control your campaign message:

    1) Elevate some random person to the status of ad-hoc pundit
    2) Inevitably, random person says something stupid
    3) Back his stupid message 100%
    4) …
    5) profit?


  75. MrSquirrel says:

    Wow! Even Fox can hardly stand the stink of this guy’s ignorance. I wonder if McCain/Palin will distance themselves from this Sam-Joe the Not-Quite-a-Plumber guy now?


  76. dbschell says:

    John McCain and Sarah Palin are not presidential material.
    This stuff all seems like it’s a ’slow’ class discussion.
    If this is about appealing to the base I’d abort the base.
    And I thought George Bush was an idiot.


  77. familyman says:

    Oh My God! That is one of the funniest scariest things I’ve seen in a long time.

    The McCain campaign has actually forced Fox News to defend Barack Obama.

    Classic.

    Sheppard Smith is an ass and this is a McCain commercial paid for by Fox. Why are we still talking about a guy who has no sense and why has Fox actually got some positive comments from this thread of gutter journalism.


  79. upnorth says:

    So now we have heard from John McCain and Sam “The supposed Plumber” Wurzelbacher on what an Obama Presidency would mean for Israel.

    My first question is “Has anyone bothered to ask the affected party, the Israeli people, about how they feel?” Last time I checked neither Sam nor John were Israeli citizens or jewish for that matter.

    My Second question is “Why is Israel an election topic when your country is spiralling down the toilet bowl both financially and morally?”


  80. upnorth says:

    Bilbo Hussein Baggins Says:
    ——————————————————————————–
    …I would love to hear one of them answer that question.

    Well put Bilbo. I was thinking the exact same thing.

    And at the expense of sounding cliche “Isn’t that the American way, getting rich and acting greedy?” As evidence I quote a McCain supporter from a recent rally “Why should my paycheque go to helping some poor guy who didn’t earn the money.” Can you spell SELFISH and for all you Good Christians out there GREED is one of the 7 deadly sins. So is Sloth!”

    Sen. Obama is a strong advocate of Israel and the world knows it !

    I rebuke McCain, Palin and all of their supporters’ evil tactics (words and deeds) in the name and blood of Jesus, and send all of them back to the pit of hell where they come from. I plead the blood of Jesus for Barack Obama, Joe Biden, their families, their campaign, and Sen. Obama’s presidency.

    Not any of McCain’s WEAK campaign tactics, the RNC, and his supporters’ attacks of lies, hatred, fear, racism, and division WILL NEVER PREVAIL against Sen. Obama – this nation’s next Commander-in-Chief !!!

    You [ Barack Obama], are from God and have overcome them [the enemy's attacks, schemes, and plots ] , because the one [God] who is in you [ Barack Obama] is greater than the one [the enemy ] who is in the world. – 1 John 4:4

    No weapon forged against you [ Barack Obama] will prevail, and you [ Barack Obama] will refute every tongue that accuses you [ Barack Obama] . This is the heritage of the servants [ Barack Obama] of the LORD, and this is their [ Barack Obama] vindication from me,” declares the LORD. – Isaiah 54:17

    ” I [ God ] will send my terror ahead of you [ Barack Obama] and throw into confusion every nation you [ Barack Obama] encounter. I [ God ] will make all your [ Barack Obama] enemies turn their backs and run.” – Exodus 23:27

    They will fight against you [ Barack Obama] but will not overcome you, for I [God ] am with you [ Barack Obama] and will rescue you,” declares the LORD. – Jeremiah 1:19
    The Lord will rescue me [ Barack Obama] from every evil attack and will bring me [ Barack Obama] safely to his heavenly kingdom. – 2 Timothy 4:18

    11 For he will command his angels concerning you [ Barack Obama] to guard you [ Barack Obama ] in all your ways; 12 they will lift you [ Barack Obama ] up in their hands, so that you [ Barack Obama ] will not strike your [his] foot against a stone. 13 You [ Barack Obama ] will tread upon the lion and the cobra; you [ Barack Obama ] will trample the great lion and the serpent. – Psalm 91:11-13

    I have given you [ Barack Obama ] authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you [ Barack Obama ]. – Luke 10:19

    It’s time for the American people to get it right and NOT vote for McCain-Palin, instead vote for change. It’s time for this country to turn the page and seek a new and better future for ourselves and our children.It’s time for REAL change in Washington, it’s time to elect Barack Obama for president !

    Obama-Biden are the wiser and stronger team to solve the crucial challenges we have in this nation and abroad !

    Amen.

    The same Republican Party movers-and-shakers who so foolishly paired that dictatorial moron Sarah Palin with the ex-A6 driver (McCain) are evidently encouraging this other ignorant fool (Joe the Plumber and would you let this slug into your home to unplug your stopped-up toilet? Think about it).
    Why?
    Isn’t there anyone at the helm of The Republican Party who can sense the damage these insipid dip-sticks (Sarah and Joe)
    are doing to the Grand Old Party.
    Wake up, Republican Old Boys before it’s too late!
