Oops, Obama ad mocks McCain's inability to send e-mail. Trouble is, he can't due to tortured fingers

I think someone on the FR forum yesterday just surmised that it was his injured shoulders that hindered him in a lot of activities. - However, a favorite torture technique of the North Vietnamese was to systematically break the fingers one by one and not set them, or pull out the fingernails one by one, and so typing learned in the high school typing class is no longer the favorite passtime of one who has endured this repeatedly over a five and a half year period. It hurts.

First time I’ve see that. If you did it, you’re brilliant!

McCain needs to reconfigure his POP3 SMTP, that usually does the trick.

THe question now must be asked; Why does the Dem ticket, both Obama and Biden, hate women and handicapped people?

McCain’s e-mail and youtube campaign has been brilliant, far surpassing either Obama’s or Howie (”Yeaaaaggghhhh”) Dean’s.

Absolutely -- also make sure you indicate their hated of both the physically and mentally handicapped. Think of all the hatred over Sarah's Down Syndrome baby.

We can't afford his kind of change -- I can't hate that deeply.

You forgot Angelina Jolie Nude, fake Rolexes and “bank security”.
That is, if he has Outlook.

Thank you - but I do not simply believe something just b/c it’s on FR. What is the source? Did McC say this, or someone close to him? If so, there should be a very strong counter attack.

So in addition to hating women, Zer0bama now hates disabled war heros!

Building a great base.

They have the new generation running the Obama campaign and his staffers are a sign of the “Hit first, Facts later” mentality that will cause them to fail in November. The more and more they pull crap off like this the more I believe McCain will pull off a victory where you won’t need suspicious stories and recounts...it will be a landslide.

This Oct 26 1967, file photo provided by the Library of Congress shows Navy fighter pilot John McCain, center, being captured by Vietnamese civilians in Truc Bach Lake near Hanoi Vietnam. McCain was tortured and imprisoned for more than five years, and eventually awarded the Silver Star, Bronze Star, Legion of Merit, Purple Heart, Distinguished Flying Cross Medal, and Prisoner of War (POW) Medal. Prodded on the 2008 campaign trail to talk about his compelling personal story, the Republican presidential candidate usually demurs. "I'm very reluctant to do so, as you know," McCain says.

The adolescents in Barama's campaign should really be ashamed of themselves...

But I'm sure they aren't.

Thanks for the link to the DFU video.

Here's Obama's ad. Please note that it was posted on YouTube on Sept. 11, the day the campaigns set aside politics to honor the victims of terrorism.

The source is a news article from 2000, as I pointed out already. It is quoted at least twice on this particular thread. If you want to know the exact source I suggest you do your own frickin’ research work. I don’t have time to find sh** for someone who obviously can’t read what some one sends to them.

There are top secret secretaries in all branches of the military, so this is not an issue.

[Kackikat]

There are top secret cleared secretaries in all branches of the military, so this is a ridiculous concept to be concerned.

PERFECT. lol
