Thank you Fox News?

In a really excellent phone interview recently broadcast on Fox News, Shepard Smith made Joe the Plumber, this year's electoral equivalent of gay marriage and partial birth abortions, look frighteningly stupid and incredibly dangerous.

Here's the clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eSJuWgZGYo

And here's the link to what is probably the first NY Times article EVER praising political coverage by Fox News: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/01/opinion/01sat4.html?em

Here's the thing. At a Republican National Campaign rally Mr. Plumber publicly agreed that a vote for Obama is a vote for the "Death of Israel." In the interview Mr Smith attacks his interviewee on this position, asking the man for a shred of evidence to back up this claim.

"Obama's offered to meet with Israel's enemies...he's actually letting them dictate terms to him. Looking at past associations, people you talk to," said Joe. "I just want to push it back on your listeners to find out why I would agree to something like that."

I'm sorry, what? You literally can't back up your own words, so as proof you use the fact that other people know how to GOOGLE?

"Trust me, I've gotten the email. There are a lot of people who agree with you. What I can't figure out is why," Smith responds. "Joe, do you know Barrack Obama's positions on Israel?"

How embarrassing is a campaign race that has devolved to the point where FOX NEWS is calling a spokesman for the Republican campaign on being dangerously conservative?

Maybe it's just proof of the liberal bias of the media elite. However, I personally believe that when Fox News is actually being objective, it's either the end of days or literally EVERYONE can see how dangerous statements like that are and how extensive the wrongness of our country's path is.

In probably the only positive shout out I give to anyone, ever (except Julia's daddy), on Fox News: Shepard Smith I salute you.
