The Obama campaign is mocking John McCain for not using a computer. From the AP story about the computer illiterate ad:
"Our economy wouldn't survive without the Internet, and cyber-security continues to represent one our most serious national security threats," [Obama spokesman Dan] Pfeiffer said. "It's extraordinary that someone who wants to be our president and our commander in chief doesn't know how to send an e-mail."Well, I guess it depends on what you mean by "extraordinary." The reason he doesn't send email is that he can't use a keyboard because of the relentless beatings he received from the Viet Cong. From the Boston Globe (March 4, 2000):
McCain gets emotional at the mention of military families needing food stamps or veterans lacking health care. The outrage comes from inside: McCain's severe war injuries prevent him from combing his hair, typing on a keyboard, or tying his shoes. Friends marvel at McCain's encyclopedic knowledge of sports. He's an avid fan - Ted Williams is his hero - but he can't raise his arm above his shoulder to throw a baseball.In a similar vein I guess it's an outrage that the blind governor of New York David Patterson doesn't know how to drive a car. After all, transportation issues are pretty important. How dare he serve as governor while being ignorant of what it's like to navigate New York's highways.
Much of this campaign has been fought on YouTube, Barack... And guess what? That old geezer you deride for not being able to send an e-mail has been kicking your tail all over not just YouTube, but cyberspace in general. Givce it up, Zero, all yr internetz belong to us (iow, PWNED)...

I am pretty sure a bag of blind hedgehogs could conduct a smarter campaign.
*snort*
They both look a little angry in that old pic...
Love it...bumper sticker??

"A recent Barack Obama campaign ad mockingly indicates that John McCain can't use a computer very well or send email. Because of injuries Senator McCain sustained while a POW in the service of his country, he is prevent from using a keyboard very effectively."John McCain recognizes his difficulties in this area and has sought out and retained the best individuals in the field to help him utilize these important technologies, both in his campaign and in his duties as a Senator.
"John McCain recognizes that Barak Obama, who has not sustained such injuries in service to his country, can probably handle a keyboard better than he can.
"But John McCain can lead this nation through these perilous times."
Yah...and pulled his arms out of their sockets.
Hero McCain gets my vote over zero 0bambi.
“I’m stupid and I approved this message.”
It was before they were proud of their country.
In one week Obama has managed to alienate half the women in America with his lipstick on a pig comment and now he is taking a shot at a war hero's disabilities.
McCain will not exploit this as he will never succumb to self-pity, we have to take the fight to Obama on his behalf.
yes, already took a look! Thanks. Baseball shirt, nice! Men’s small a little too big for me, but I like it any way.
I guess you don’t know how to play hardball politics.
