No, it isn’t. I’ve had to use Wintel trash wherever I’ve worked, but have always bought Apple for the home. If you want to see liberalism in action, check out the Gates Foundation and then gauge your own reaction to the truth.

I still think this is a tempest in a teapot. Apple lowered their prices and their legal department contacted MS and told them their ads were no longer accurate, please correct them. MS corrected them.
So, Kevin Turner does a speech where he claims it's the greatest phone call he ever got and he was doing cartwheels down the halls. I'm sorry, but WTF? If Joe's computer shack running out of his garage did a four dollar ad on Craigslist that said the cheapest MacBook pro was $2000, he'd get contacted by Apple's legal department also.

Dittos. I use PCs at my college where they pay for them and Macs at home where I pay for them.

Microsoft took it like a man over those faggy “I’m a Mac” advertisements.
You’d think Apple could man up and take it, as well.
Pussies.

What, and Steve Jobs is not? Compared to Jobs, Gates is a right of center moderate.

If Apple finds out, they’ll go after him.

Saw them weeks ago. Doesn’t really prove anything, other than Obama was near a Mac a few times. You’ll note that in none of the photos is he actually using one. Furthermore, they do not prove your mindless assertion.
By the way, Bill Gates is a huge Democrat. Just a heads-up there.

Ahhh.... so you’re now saying Apple computers — used by Liberals and Conservatives....
I get it now... they’re kinda like cars... you might find a liberal behind the steering wheel and you might find a conservative behind the steering wheel... LOL...
I would agree... except for one thing. Since conservatives are smarter than liberals, you’ll probably find more conservatives using the better computer — Apple.

The point is that you are assigning politics to computers. Go ahead, find a politically pure OS to run.

Photoshopped. Head size is wrong. Unfortunately, the 0bama campaign did indeed use Macs, quite effectively too. 0bama, however, is a Blackberry phone user... He's not smart enough to know that iPhones are better!
