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.
Outstanding cartoon!
One must first grasp reality to suspend it.
No kidding ... do you have an example?
McCain ztated during the 2000 gop debates that he used the internet, clicked on news sites like cnn, nyt, others......and other ‘instruments of communist propaganda,’ so he can use a mouse in some configuration.
KEYBOARD-GATE!!!
Scappleface just did a video mocking the Obama video which mocks McCain’s disability.

LOL! Your post even has a sound effect of a horrible collapse playing in my mind. ;)
Hey there, 0bama....If you went to the Hanoi Hilton School of typing, then you can be as proficient with a keyboard after a few of these warm-up exercises.
Actually, he goes through his email every night - and Cindy does his typing for him. Gee, that’s a real negative mark. /sarc
“Most tech savy Senator.” He knows how to use one, just admits that he’s slow at it. His wife types his responses when they go over his email every night.
Moron.
Oops, thought you were quoting some libdolt’s point. “Moron” was directed at them. Re-read posts and now can’t tell. If it’s your own post, then I retract and instead suggest you read up on (a) what McCain actually does with his e-mail and (b) what McCain’s actual tech savy is (i.e., very high).
Really going for their vote, Eh, Obama?
.
Hmm. . . am I remembering wrong or was that campaign only successful because they bought/bribed/tampered with the vote on the Indian reservations?
Just mentioned on Roger Hedgecock’s Saturday national show.
Oops...
Can you hit the Abuse button on yourself?
lol
There he goes with that middle finger thing again.
BHO: intellectual homunculus.
You know, if his Presidential campaign maintains this pace, he may just find that he has trouble hanging on to his Senate seat as well.
What a waste of a human being.
