Shepard Smith-Thanks for Showing how 'Joe the Plumber' is Crazy & Dangerous!!!

[Lassitofi]

Good to know that there is at least one anchors at FOX who truly wants to be "Fair & Balanced"

[MACKATTACK1970]

Joe the Plumber is a moron cut from the same cloth as Palin, O'Donnell and Bachmann.

.....

Joe the Plumber is an idiot who can't back up his words because analysis, logic and facts are foreign concepts to him.

....

This man is a clown and I apologize to the real clowns in the circus when I make this statement, they are entertainers, this fool is a clown.

[u229758]

Joe the plumber got his head handed to him in the end. Thinking he was gonna get a pass jus because Shepard Smith works for FOX. BOOM he got his ass kicked. Shepp just didn't let him get away with it. He cornered him and just smashed his foot on this guy's neck.

[SailingOne0]

This pathetic figure, Joe whatever, is nothing but a complete jerk, full of prejudice, and short-minded guy! That's the type of individual that can become really dangerous. He believes what he makes up in his own mind, no matter how delusional those ideas might be, and then asks for people who question him about them, to go ahead and look for the reasons why HE believes those 'facts' are the ultimate truth! Isn't that crazy enough to believe that this 'joe' needs help?!

[whoo689]

Joe the Plumber...

WHAT A JOKE! GTFO off my tv, you idiot. Weren't you gonna buy your employer's business or something? Get to it! :P

[mrkareem1975]

Fucking ignorant racist piece of SHIT!!!

[MrAngates]

Thank you Shepard you are a true patriot and the only fair and blance person on fox.....

[Slayerfan84]

Those Fox Clowns should pay attention to this guy, this is what REAL reporting sounds like, not just some idiot who dropped out of college who resorts to Ad hominem attacks!

[Reqrezentin]

Fucking moron

[michealati]

Sheppard Smith rocks!!!

[MayakuCreep]

@baboon302

You think 8 years of continuous failed policies could actually be corrected in less than two years? Fuck off.

He's not superman, so don't act like all of these problems can be fixed in a weekend. Moron.

[biggsenlightenment]

What's wrong with a death of Israel?

Don't want dead Israelis or Jews but Israel as a "Jewish Nation" is no more agreeable an idea to me than the idea of any "Moslem" or "Christian" nation existing. It would be one less blight of human stupidity on this planet.

And even if I were some Christian apocalyptic believer I would think that if Israels existence was necessary for the return of Christ I would think God could have any type of "Israel" he needed for his purposes.

Amen :-D

[rtghffdfdg]

It looks like the events of the past week have only proven Joe RIGHT. I bet Shepard feels like a goof now.

[biggsenlightenment]

@rtghffdfdg

No Shep doesn't feel a goof...Israel ain't dead and even if it went bye-bye Shep would still be the smartest person on Fox. That's not saying much I know, but...

[rtghffdfdg]

Israel may not be dead, but it certainly doesn't have an ally in Obama. Not even someone as naive as O'Reilly would have so willingly believed a politician just 'cause he "said it" as Shep foolishly does here.

[Bara885]

Fuck Joe the plumber. He is not even real conservative.

[Pachecure]

The United States of Amnesia! Obama was elected after eight years of a loser administration that served the interests of big oil, the pharmaceutical and insurance lobbies, war mongers & profiteers, and the military industrial complex, above the interests of the American people. Save the Republic! Down with Empire!!

[baboon302]

some people are just ignorant. u still support obama after hes failed. open your eyes people: a us marine republican

[STPdemon]

Joe the Plumber simply asked Obama a question about raising taxes and that somehow makes him 'crazy and Dangerous'?!?!

Based on recent elections in New Jersey, Virginia and now Massachusetts, MOST folks in this country are becoming equally 'crazy and dangerous'.

[charms71]

republicans need some intelligent people 2 lead them Newt Gingrich for example is smart, so is karl rove (but dubious). On the other hand we have the unintelligent pack like rush, palin, michael steele, ann coulter, etc.

[rubadub007]

is Israel the 51st state?

[joseph591]

@rubadub007 FUCK NO ITS NOT!!

[rubadub007]

America is a sad divided country, thanks to the Republicans. Every country on this earth should be treated equally. Arabs and Israelis are equal people

[polytickchick]

@rubadub007 "America is a sad divided country, thanks to the Republicans." Be tolerant. They have their beliefs, and they stand up for them.

Joe the plumber is an embarrassment to Republican citizens. He seems more like an Obama plant than a McCain plant, to make it seem as though Republicans are uneducated fools. The Republicans have a better record of giving actual critique of their opposition, while the Democrats simply call names, such as "racist", and hide behind a biased media.

[STPdemon]

You are right, the left wingers are far more close-minded Archie Bunker types these days than the conservatives...

[Jodman99]

Liberals stand up for their beliefs too, but are put down and chastised FOR their beliefs. Some Republicans ARE uneducated fools that just follow like sheep, but so are some Liberals. I wish some people would stop generalizing all Libs and Cons into the little groups where they feel they belong. That's stereotyping and if you don't want it done to you, then stop doing it to others. Oh, and Liberals have solid factual critique that is dismissed as rhetoric, even with the facts presented.

[YaikonMetal]

-.- Fox News = Biased bull shit

[STPdemon]

CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, NPR and especially MSNBC = even MORE biased bullshit...I thought that moron Olbermann was gonna burst into tears when a Republican stole a Kennedy's empty seat---probably the only time his crappy program had good ratings...

[AlotaMaple]

Yep it does get frightening sometimes cough* Sarah Palin

[trudie1982]

Its sad that there were only a small number of fox news casters that really were trying to counter attack some of the hate that was coming from their co-news casters like Beck and others. Smith did a good job at this. He understood that no amount of ratings is worth spreading hate. Its nice to see someone on their network that realized the danger of hateful propaganda.

[Jodman99]

What a very thought out and insightful comment!! I find it amusing that even though you remained completely bipartisan in your answer, you still got a thumbs down. Some people just don't want to get along (ie: Beck, Limbaugh, Coulter, etc.) and prefer to hate, hate, hate anyone who doesn't agree with them.

[usergirl66]

wow joe the plumer is hawt

[loggeronline]

By Fox, you mean the Fair and Balanced network?

[willyD200]

What a freaking idiot, Joe the moron!

Why is this fool getting air time on any "supposed" news media ?

What a joke, the plumber that's not really a plumber and this fake news outlet!

When will people wake up?

Simple Ignorance is destroying this Country ,,,Joe the 'dumb ass'!

[candywrapp]

why the fuck would anyone get political advice from a fucking plumber.

Faux news sucks

[stanmarsh071980]

They're not getting political advice from him. They were actaully proving to people that they SHOULDN'T get political advice from him. Watch the whole video before making a biased conclusion.

Jesus, they are bashing an extreme conservative that is against Obama, and you guys are STILL saying FOX is unfair....sigh.

[candywrapp]

first of all the second statement wasnt corresponding to the video and i was talking about all the media coverage on him during the campaign season

[mish45]

A clown with a tool belt. Crazy comments,, dang..

[NewRemorse]

Shepard Smith is one of the very few on any network that has any integrity.

And of all places he can be found on Fox.

Unbelievable but even more commendable.

[ajolenick]

pwned

[dfrutled]

failing*

[dfrutled]

Who is more dumb? Bush (the 2nd), Palin, Joe, or McCain?

Bush avg test scores, only got into Yale because of Daddy and graduated with a C avg (which is pretty much falling bc Ivy's league usually have a B curve at the least)

Palin - well 4 schools and ends up with a journalism degree (cup cake degree) and has demonstrated how dumb she is not only in book smarts but common sense.

McCain- Poor score, only got into Navy school bc of dad and grandpa, graduated nearly dead last out of almost 1000

[personage2007]

Joe is like a 9/11 truther when it coms to being pressed on answers... they always dodge it by saying "go out and do your own research".

[Brade]

The beauty of real journalism is so exciting :D

[bistrosidecar]

Shep's a good reporter. Only reason why I'd ever turn on fox is Shep.

[3GBlog]

I use to think all of fox news was idiotic. Thankfully Shepard is changing my opinion.

[bistrosidecar]

Well I mean he runs his programme well but other shows like fox and friends is blatantly biased continually. I'm not gonna attack Beck or O'Reilly, I think they have opinion shows which I don't agree with but hey so does MSNBC. The problem with shows like Fox and Friends is that they pass off biased opinion as the news. That's just wrong, there are ethics in journalism that Fox continually breaks luckily they do have Shep who is as unbiased as Katie Couric in my opinion.

[StewieSwan]

Joe the Dumber

[KushPizzaSleep]

well im gonna go ahead and agree with you

LOL

[smokenchill]

hahahahaha... why do the republicans hate facts so much?

[zacky89]

They make alot of assumptions.

Props for Shep Smith,

his the only reasonable guy on Fox News.

[stanmarsh071980]

why do liberals think everything a democratic politician say's, is a "fact"?

[bsmitts16]

hey joe, while youre asking everyone to go out and figure it out for themselves, why dont you find someone to figure it out for you too because wow...

[MaxwellBennett]

apparently diplomacy with Iran and tax cuts are poor judgement for the oval office. WTF?

[cool2girl27]

He's such a fucking idiot. This is the hope for the GOP. What a joke.

[TakeAnX]

Yes,

You are correct.Its sad that people think Palin and Joe the Not Lic Plumber are smart.Joe has NO clue.Thanks Cool2girl27

[afarro73]

Just a message to Joe. You spell out bullshit and ask people to figure it out? Way to go asshole!

[TakeAnX]

Yes, Very well said afarro73

[yvids123]

a meeting with Iran is illogical. Iran wants to destroy Israel. Iran has funded Hezzbolah which killed many Israelis and even started a war. Iran is also an enemy of the USA. obama's claim that Israel would remain a "friend" could mean anything but dealing with a mutual enemy certainly could not enhance this USA/Israel friendship. saying that the relationship will remain a friendship was also BEFORE the election which is when obama and all the other runners said anything to get votes.

[bongo335]

Its up to your listeners to find out why I think what I think. LMAO. Classic jackass.

[naughtygirlga]

prime example of some idiot believing what someone else told them, & not taking the time to verify the info!

[ryratt]

Shepard Smith is gay for Obama, who cares.

[jrtt19]

I just heard it was gay too!

[blupheonix44]

Holy shit! When the hell is the "media" going to STOP covering this freak?! He's a nutcase, and the "Jewish run media" keeps putting him on. No doubt he's for Israel, that's who's paying his cheques now. Why does the media still continue to call this man "Joe"? His name is Samuel, and you can't even report THAT??!!! This is just fucked up... Lock and load...

[ebayfan414]

Bla bla bla- what do you people do all day? Such whiny little ##!@s, can't stand when someone doesn't report from your POV.

[MSW121185]

Joe the liar is nothing but a redneck opportunist who is ANYTHING but the "average guy". Didn't he seek a country music career and a seat in Congress? He was the one of many downfalls of the McCain campaign. Good riddance to white trash.

[RSWebDotCom]

Exactly what I was thinking, another dangerous, racist hillbilly.

[Korbamite]

The rich do not work hard.. they have the poor and working class do all the hard work for them.

[RSWebDotCom]

Amen!

[MaxwellBennett]

Proletariats are the foundations of industrial capitalism.

[Korbamite]

Shepard Smith has too much integrity to be working for FOX NEWS.

[plumbweis]

I have one thing to say post Joe the fake plumber. Joe who?

[nightmoves44]

On the one hand, I can't believe a Fox news reporter challenged Joe the Plumber at all. I've now seen upteen interviews with Joe the Plumber and I now am sure of two things: He's riding it for all it's worth (and I think many others would too if we were him); Joe the Plumber did not, I repeat did not, help the McCain campaign one bit. He may have helped with the McCain base supporters, but the rest of the "middle class Americans" wrote him off as wanting his five minutes of fame.

[countturrack]

"i just want to put it on your listeners to go and find out why i might agree with that."

im sorry, did republicans get to a point in this election where they were like "quick, weve gotta find someone with even more retarded interview answers than palin!"

lol.

as an obama supporter thank you for thinking a middle aged white guy who (at least says he) makes 250k and thinks paying taxes is socialist is the face of america...

[sniperuck]

joe the plumber you're the best you showed thad even sarah palin is smarter then you you're an idiot, racist and a scambag and I'm sure these interviews will help your business in the future........................­....................

[melowar78]

joe is the typical republican voter, ignorant, uninformed brainwashed idiot. If he actually sat down and did the math he would find that he would benefit more with obama's tax plan. I wonder if he knows that the American gov gives Isreal something like 10 billion a year of our tax money! probably not. He only know the repub party lines

[mbattol]

How To Lose An Election #521:

Pick an idiot who makes Palin look like Einstein as your campaign mascot.

[pfingaz954]

who cares what joe the liar says indeed!

[divawidfevah]

Why is Joe the Liar still even relevant?

[n00bcakey]

McCain's picking Palin n Joe probably killed whatever chance he had of winning.

[seker7]

Hey maybe he saw into the future - since McLame is going down in flames.... but hey maybe these Einstien Repugnants will 'put up' Joe the (not) a plumber and Mrs "I can see Russia from my house" in '12

[elko9er]

"I know just enough to be dangerous."

Truer words, never spoken. McCain sure knows how to pick 'em.

[sisforshayla]

looks like shepard didn't let fox news take his balls on this one. does he usually have way more common sense than everyone else on fox??

[hackerblaster]

Joe, Sarah and John are destroying the GOP.

[seker7]

Looks like EVEN FOX NEWS - knows better than ANY more years of their own (lieing - cheating - stealing) party And (one anyway) woke up and are putting 'country first' Over McSame and Joe McMoron and Pa-lieing

[federaikkonerer]

Shep is the only man in Fox News who is fair and balanced.

[Earthbound1986]

When people at FOX NEWS are defending Obama you know it has gotten really bad out there. I think that Shepard really did a good thing! This fear based shit is truly anti-American if you really think about it! Joe the plumber is a complete tool anyway. We might as well listen to Ben the bagger at Harris Tetter for our political news from now on! Jesus Christ people wake up and enjoy life. Stop living in fear! Obama would be a great president! Deal with it!

[Korbamite]

Wow Shepard is with Fox News? How did he get on there? He sounds to fair and balanced. He must be their token balanced anchor.

[MystikWizard]

What any Liberal needs to do watching things like this is to send a quick email from FOX and compliment them on the segment like this. The network seems to be slowly creeping towards the center, as we saw in this clip. If they have people taking the time to write in to compliment this type of thing, we can perhaps further encourage them to keep moving more to the Center.

[seker7]

hey "Idiot" (VERY appropriate)you and Joe McMoron MUST be related.......

[vizcarra]

"Uh... I know you really want answers to this". No s#!+ Sherlock!

[jtjr30]

WOW...Way to go Shep!

[alx187]

Keep your hatred away from here. You sound like the morron who is gracing Shepard Smith. I have a new respect for this guy even though his on Fox news

[bsahle]

Jews are not stupid. Right wing Americans  hate jews...

[Shiftyeyes516]

Thank you for stating that - I am not one to believe that we need to constantly fight Isreal battles or lay down a carpet for them.

Joe "the Dummy" or Sam (whatever his name is taking advantage of this "find a white man" media attention. He is dumb and total idiot.

[mylongcylinder]

"Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence, (I conjure you to believe me fellow citizens), the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake; since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of Republican Government. But that jealousy to be useful must be impartial; else it becomes the instrument of the very influence to be avoided, instead of a defence against it."

George Washington -

Farewell Address To

The United States

[Bedlam83]

Nice to see that not everyone at Fox has lost his mind.

[finalorbit]

Shepard Smith! Way to be a stand up guy. Nice job.

[joeljohnwilliams999]

just more liberal media bias from,,, fox, news, wait,, what?? ...

Good job Shep... ;)

[highhorse313]

Wow, can't believe Shepherd is so fair and balanced. Maybe I could sit through his show in the afternoons. Wonder how long he will have a job with Fox talking the way he does with truth and integrity?

[budkin]

Hey Joe -

Your 5 minutes are over. Fuck off.

[FerretMIke]

Hey Joe Dickhead, so when did you first get together with the Palin camp when you lived in Alaska. Mole. Plant. Stooge.

[eriqkk]

How much is the RNC paying Joe the Unlicensed Plumber for his idiocy?

The blind leading the blind...

[GOPSocialist]

The RNC picked up Joe at the 99¢ store.

[PrezObama08]

Joe the Plumber=Racist idiot

Hey Joe, go pay your taxes or you will go to jail!

[elwoodey]

Two thumbs up to Shep Smitty.

[MystikWizard]

What a disaster of an interview. Wurzelbacher made a complete fool of himself. Generic talking points. Nothing more. Thanks for exposing yourself, Joe.

[GOPSocialist]

And to think the McCain campaign has decided to use this idiot as the CORE of their campaign message. Republicans, it's ok to get an education and be smart. The bible allows it.

[pharmdmsn]

It looks like you're a foreigner because if you're here in USA you should know that Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher earns $40,000.00 per year, and he is not a licensed plumber which he ought to be in order to be rightly called a plumber. He also owes the State of Ohio $1,200.00 in taxes. The guy is a poor and just got recently divorced and cannot afford to buy a business even if he dreams of it. The small business he works for makes $100,000.00 income a year, not $250,000.00. Joe is such a joke!

[MystikWizard]

Well said, pharmdmsm. Joe The Plumber= Complete Fraud.

He's voting against his own interests. Makes absolutely no sense. He would get more money back under an Obama Tax Plan, yet continues to follow his Republican ways.

Dipshit.

[GOPSocialist]

It actually makes perfect sense, if you're a dumbfuck conservative republican. It's the same reason evangelicals voted for Bush thinking he would advance their agenda. Is gay marriage illegal yet? Is abortion banned yet? Is prayer mandatory in school yet? Is creationism taught in science class? Guess what people, they aren't and Joe the Dumbass doesn't realize it.

[NomadicAddict]

Joe the Plumber sounds like another, unvetted, loose cannon in the McCain camp.

I first became skeptical of this guy when he started doing the rounds on national tv, he obviously had a hidden agenda from day 1 and McCain played right into it.

McCain has shown that he has poor judgement and can be easily manipulated. It was reckless of him to pick Palin as his VP and amateurish of him to make an unknown, plumber the focus of his campaign - really, the guy could turn out to be a skin-head.

[MystikWizard]

Funny you mentioned that. Sarah Palin was called a "Whack Job" today, by a Senior Campaign Advisor for the McCain campaign today. Seems like they have a lot of those.

[zeppo102]

Joe the plumber is absolutely clueless - he's waffling and meandering because he hasn't examined the issues of either candidate properly, while telling people they should, "examine the issues for themselves"...which he clearly hasn't done. This ignorant, publicity seeking bozo who is now pondering a congressional run for 2010 has no clue.

[drpete177]

The guy barely has the credibility to speak as a business owner, and now all of a sudden he thinks he's a foreign policy expert.

Maybe he should look into night school and get himself an education before he buys the plumbing company.

[bsahle]

He is being used by Mccain to win the white house like they used Palin and now they are calling her a Diva and what not. The idiot who said that doesn't give a s.. about Isarel he is just saying that so the Jews will vote for Mccain. These people never care about the Jews, African Americans, Indians, they only care about wining the election.

[1140Cecile]

I thought Wurzelbacher made fancy popcorn.
