I see the McCain campaign has taken on a foreign policy adviser. Joe really is a renaissance man.
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.’"

the jews really do have a bigotry against obama I might say, I know this, one of my friends parents went white when she found out I was supporting obama
But if you look at the polls Jewish Americans actually support Obama overwhelmingly. So just as within any group you’ll find some retrograde cases. After all, there were those Black Messianic groups down in Florida that also opposed Obama because they don’t support Israel.
And, as well, there are some evangelicals that don’t support Obama because they feel he will impair the apocalyptic prophesy in the Book of Daniel that suggests that the new “Empire of Israel” will be attacked by an enemy to the North and exterminated (with the exception of 44,000 virgin male converts to Christianity) – but that this will trigger the return of Jesus to obliterate the foes and all other sinners…and then bring the faithful back to a spiritual (non-corporeal) life.
aHAHAHA
