Although I suspect he'll get called into the office of Roger Ailes for a beat down.

He finally got hip to the bullsh*t that is Joe the Plumber. Remember this is the guy McCain is banking on to save his campaign

F*** ME.

His response to shep asking for clarification on why obama would equal death of israel, shep says "like who" in regard to who obama has spoken with and Joe's answer is to push it back on the listeners to find out why he would agree to something like that. He doesn't even know why he agreed to some stance. He wants others to tell him why.

Gets interesting at 1:27
And catch his last lines at 5:19

I was wondering if at some point when the Foxies were sure McCain was going to lose they would get away from the Republican party line a bit.
Gotta assure access to Obama when he is Prez.

Not necessarily, their ratings have slipped of late, Bill O has even faltered in ratings the last 2 weeks. Perhaps a reflection of the republican party's lack of popularity at the moment. It shows some positive things are going on over at Fox News, when one of their anchors takes the opportunity to call out the current poster boy, for being an ignorant FUD spreader.

As to the comments Sam/Joe made, his self analysis was spot on, he knows just enough to be dangerous, and not just about foreign policy. He should take his own advice about getting informed while he is at it.

This. Out one side of this mouth, Joe claims that people need to get educated and make a reasoned decision about who should receive their vote and on the other he makes baseless claims that he can't defend with fact. At this point, he's just trying to keep attention for as long as possible.

WOW. He is making an absolute FOOL of himself, Palin style.

"I'm not going to help you out there, Shep. If people want to know why I would say that, they should go out and find out."

WHAT?!

"I know just enough to be dangerous."

Don't flatter yourself.


I was on this guy's jock after the last debate, because I thought the media absolutely murdered him unjustifiably and in a totally anamalistic manner.

At this point, he's just freaking asking for it. Shep ate him alive.


"I just want people to go out and find their own reasons."

In other words, you have no fucking idea what you're talking about. Got it.

That was great. You know Joe was thinking, 'He there Shep, where are the softball questions leading me to my anti-Obama talking points?.

Joe, you're a phony idiot and a douchey one at that.

Wait a second. What were you doing watching Fox in the first place? Isn't that grounds for excommunication?

Wow. I think that's the first time I've seen you make a statement that doesn't condemn 150 million people in fell swoop.

While you're being relatively objective, is there any chance I can get you to admit there's a seriously ill segment of the Democratic Party, as well? Am I asking to have my cake and eat it, too?

From now on, he'll be known as Joe the Dumber. :p

I'm amazed that Fox actually allowed that to make it on air. Some director or editor's head will roll.

I agree with you. Unfortunately the problem is the segment of the Republican party that is mentally ill has been large and in charge for the last 8 years.

I agree with you. Unfortunately the problem is the segment of the Republican party that is mentally ill has been large and in charge for the last 6 years.

True and fixed ;) The ill of the left (Pelosi) negated them for the last 2 ;) .

I loved how he said look at his record, yet the only reason he gave was that Obama said he would meet uncoditionally. Then when it's pointed out the other things Obama said joe replied with words are words and look at his record. Yet never talked about one thing in his record that would point to what he is saying.

This guy is completely pathetic. He parrots points and can't even back them up at all, asking others to come up with his reasons for him... Is this guy's 15 minutes up yet? All he is doing is spreading disinformation.

If he ever decides to run for congress then this clip is coming back to bite him in the behind.
