I certainly don't expect the media to cover the Obama campaign's lack of decency in their last campaign ad video pointing out John McCain's inability to send emails. There are only two explanations to their insensitivity. Either they are mocking John McCain, or they lack in their own abilities on the internet. Either way, it should be a major embarrassment for the Obama folks. Of course, the media will pretend to be ignorant of it all.
Much has been discussed about John McCain not being able to use a computer and in an ad from the Barack Obama campaign (shown above) it says, “Can’t send an email,” referencing McCain. An article in Boston.com from 2000, shows McCain cannot type on a keyboard.
It took a blogger from The Corner less than a day to find an article in Boston.com that references John McCain injuries from Vietnam, showing he cannot tie his shoes, comb his hair properly or “typing on a keyboard,” stating it was because of his severe war injuries, which limit his ability to do certain things with his hands.
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.
One has to wonder if anyone at the Obama campaign knows how to use a search engine.
This new ad is part of the aggressive campaigning the Obama officials say they will be rolling out and as ABC’s Political Punch points out, this is the thrid or fourth time Barack Obama will be “taking the gloves off,” to fight it out.
David Plouffe, who is Obama’s campaign manager, says they are heading into the final stretch and continues on to say, “We will respond with speed and ferocity to John McCain’s attacks and we will take the fight to him, but we will do it on the big issues that matter to the American people. We will not allow John McCain and his band of Karl Rove disciples to make this big election about small things.”
If mocking John McCain’s disabilities that he obtained during his captivity in war, is how they plan to fight the big issues, then Obama’s campaign has more problems than just sagging poll numbers.
Perhaps some lesson on how to use a Google search engine should be in order for the Obama campaign members responsible for creating these latest types of ads.
Ed Morrissey adds some good commentary:
Making fun of a war hero’s severe injuries — smooth move, Team O. Talk about computer illiteracy! Doesn’t anyone on the Obama campaign know what they’re doing? Didn’t it ever occur to them that a man who can’t raise his arms above his head might have a physical barrier to using a computer?
If this is what happens when they takes the gloves off, maybe they should just keep them on in the future.
Can we expect the media to repot on this? I don't think so!

September 13, 2008 - 04:56 ET by motherbeltI think they were talking about him being technologically dumb, not making fun of a physical trait, but the ad is still childish.
He still doesn't know how to use a computer.....nyah, nyah.
But that's leftists for you...always have to get in that little personal dig.
Although you're probably right. . .
September 13, 2008 - 06:34 ET by WingletDrivera constant strategy of libs and the MSM is to infer the most negative possible meaning from a conservative. George Allen saying Macaca comes to mind even though that term is a racial only in Tunisia.
Conversely, libs and the MSM will always defend outright slurs made by libs: Joe Biden saying that he can't go into a 7-11 without it being owned by an Indian or telling a paraplegic to stand up; Jeremiah Wright, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson deriding Jews; or Bob Byrd using the "n" word. "Yawn, nothing to see here," or "You need to understand where they are coming from."
If the MSM were consistent, they would be asking BHO and his campaign about this ad, "Did you know Senator McCain can't type due to wartime injuries he received while fighting for our country?" Instead, we are treated to them speculating about the parentage of Trig Palin and demanding proof from the Republican's despite any evidence.
No problemo
September 13, 2008 - 07:03 ET by DontFeedTheTrollsI think they were talking about him being technologically dumb,

What's Obama's new slogan? Vote Obama. He can send emails!
Clinton's gift to Internet age: only 2 e-mails
Wednesday, January 28, 2004 Posted: 2:11 PM EST (1911 GMT)
LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas (Reuters) -- The archives of the Bill Clinton presidential library will contain 39,999,998 e-mails by the former president's staff and two by the man himself.
"The only two he sent," Skip Rutherford, president of the Clinton Presidential Foundation, which is raising money for the library, said on Monday.
One of them may not actually qualify for electronic communication because it was a test to see if the commander in chief knew how to push the button on an e-mail.
Former Ohio Sen. John Glenn has the distinction of being the first American to orbit the Earth and the only person to receive an e-mail written by Clinton when he was in office.
The e-mail was sent with the help of Clinton staffers to the space shuttle while it was in orbit and Glenn was a part of the crew. It praised Glenn for his return to space after almost 40 years.
Rutherford said Clinton, who relished the chance to speak to voters, did not make time to send e-mails, even though Internet usage exploded during his presidency.
"He's not a techno-klutz. I don't think President [George W.] Bush sends e-mails, either," Rutherford said of Clinton.
"Most of the decisions in the Oval Office are made through decision memos," Rutherford said.
The 40 million e-mails of the Clinton administration are almost exclusively comprised of memos, notes and correspondence among his aides and cabinet members
Then as now, Rutherford added, Clinton was more apt to write personal notes or telephone than communicate through e-mail.
Hussein a failure in all area's
September 12, 2008 - 23:43 ET by ScrapironIf Hussein O had spent more than 143 days in the Senate during the three years he's been a member he might know he's not the chair of the Senate banking committee, the committee he does chair has not met in three years, and that "McCain chairs the Senate Telecommunications Subcommittee and regarded as the U.S. Senate’s savviest technologist, McCain is an inveterate devotee of email. His nightly ritual is to read his email together with his wife, Cindy. The injuries he incurred as a Vietnam POW make it painful for McCain to type. Instead, he dictates responses."
Hussein O and all of the people around him are total idiots.

An inexcusable low blow.
September 12, 2008 - 23:50 ET by Indiana JoeAn inexcusable low blow. They probably did see that story. How else would they know McCain "can't send an email?" They just hope most people will assume it's from ignorance, not a physical handicap. Truth? We don't need no stinkin' truth!
Oh, but they need to counter McCain's "dirty campaigning." So that makes it okay. Victory at any cost.
And of course it won't be reported. That might interrupt the tear-down of Gov. Palin, and the MSM's slow circling of the drain to oblivion.

Insensitivity
September 12, 2008 - 23:59 ET by HoosierEmMaybe the MSM will report on this but they will spin it that it's just McCain whining and complaining. After all, according to Randi Rhodes, he was treated well while he was held in captivity. He broke his own bones.
Would you want to know how?

I find it very interesting that the faux newsies are throwing everything they can get their dirty hands on to discredit McCain/Palin - and getting nowhere.
I wonder if Bill Clinton orchestrated this debacle?

The Obama Cash Pig
September 13, 2008 - 00:41 ET by Lame CherryMr. Stephenson, this is the best feature post today and I thank you for sharing it. I will attempt to work it into my blog.
As I see the conversation on NB it is about Gibson being a dick, when it should be on Obama throwing a flower at the 9 11 Memorial and this horrid attack on the disabled.
If I might add something for people to sink into, I just finished putting the Obama Ayers, Daschle Hildebrand, Obama Pritzker Hildebrand cash pig on the burner.
For the short of it Obama and his people have been running a money dry cleaning operation. I explain it all below but this has go to get out as this bunch has a stack of federal crimes.
before this is little ballad is finished we will mix in a little ACDC,
a little National Review, a little Hugo Chavez, a little intelligence
ops and a little No Quarter USA for a fun time in assembling a money
monster which allot of children journalists have been playing with in
lipstick, pigs, Obamas and never putting it all together.
So if
someone wants to call it an exclusive, well the world always was there
for Columbus to discover, but the good ship Lame Cherry is just pumping
another full broadside into his messiah's sinking ship Obama.
First,
we need to explain that the object of philanthropic foundations are not
what they appear to be in your reflective mirror of thought what you
think.
Want to overthrow the world...uh uh uh I mean change the world?
OK
you put all your old Soviet communists in the green movement, dump
billions in foundation funds into "science" where these college
professors study things like the effect greenhouse gases have on
warming the earth out of Wisconsin "studies" linked to the great lakes.
You
might as well study how your bath water absorbs carbon dioxide for all
the good it does scientifically, but it does make nice grants for lame
professors to put out propaganda earning nice sums of cash.
One
might even hint that Al Gore in this quest made sure allot of people
got cash and as no one has ever audited any of this money flow, it
probably might show that some major company donates five million
dollars for a five million dollar tax deduction, which goes to a
college, which then has a professor who by miracle buys some Al Gore
products from companies Al Gore has shown they will make billions off
of in global warming scams.
Some might term that money
laundering, but it is instead money dry cleaning in quid pro quo deals,
kickbacks, check kiting and embezzlement.
If you are like all
people in this world who has never gotten a million dollar grant from
Annenberg, Heinz, MacArthur, Rockefeller or Ford foundations, you are
not in the least like Barack Obama who was as a nobody offered the
chairmanship in Chicago Annenberg's Challenge by his good friend,
terrorist William Ayers.
While so many are digging through the files
of CAC, they are missing the most obvious Rush Limbaugh of lines,
"FOLLOW THE MONEY".
CAC was a scam in Chicago based on a Hugo
Chavez plan to gain local control of populations to overthrow the
majority population in Maoist revolution of a commie watcher in ever
pot hole.
The amazing thing in this is the national teachers union
will be panting over voting for Obama and Ayers and it was Obama in CAC
were attempting to blow up the teachers union in Chicago by bribing
everyone so the CAC could gain control.
Come on love me for the money........the federal billions in educational funds.
Of
course this was pedaled under the Clinton, "For the children" mantra,
but in all the years Obama and Ayers ran this dry cleaning operation
the children of Chicago made no improvements scholastically from CAC.
Annenberg
granted Ayers and Obama almost $50 million. They had to match funds and
oh did Ayers and Obama raise the cash to a total of $160 million.
There
were workshops for over one hundred thousand dollars by Ayers old
terrorist stooge, but no one has really bothered to trace where this
$160 million dollar bribe all went to, especially since CAC's office
space were free where Ayers worked.
One knows how this system
worked just like Al Gore. Some operation gets a chunk of cash for
supporting the CAC. It goes on the books that said administrator spent
this amount on supplies. The supplier just happens to be some
Democratic precinct big shot and if someone with a federal
investigative authority went into this mess they would find there were
kickbacks to the administrator for buying his products.
How do we know this?
Oh
let us visit the million dollar home of Barack Hussein Obama who got a
$300,000 drop in price, because a broke Syrian, Tony Rezko, now
convicted and talking to Patrick Fitzgerald bought the adjoining lot
from the seller to get the sweetheart deal for messiah Obama.
That
is just how things are done and when Illinois is a corruption capitol
then a $160 million dollar infusion into terrorist Marxist educators is
an opiate of the elite they will line their pockets from, with and to.
This
is what this Chicago Marxist syndicate is hiding. It doesn't have a
thing to do with terrorism, bi sexual bonding or commies. It was an
intelligence operation to create an asset in intelligence operative
Barack Obama for his implantation into Chicago politics for the
expressed purpose of tapping for these Marxist hogs a lipstick supply
of federal dollars to not just overthrow the teachers union which one
would think in it's sicko pedophile doper Marxist policies is wacko
enough, but these comrades were after the whole American hog from sea
to shining sea.
CAC which people are lathered up over is, but
the small corner dry cleaning operation. What needs to be shown is
Barry Obama is pimping it big time now with a national chain of
overthrowing the entire election process in fraud to install himself
messiah in chief.
We must now visit though that great wasteland
of stone heads carved into a mountain of South Dakota to just see the
genesis of what Barack Obama has incorporated to what was built in
Chicago.
In the bad olde days of yore, there once lived a Tom
Daschle, whose main election operative was Steve Hildebrand, now both
of the Obama campaign.
Amazing things happened in South Dakota in
those years where the good people of that state were literally run over
in a Daschle election by big white vans with men in suits working for
Daschle that no one had any idea who they were.
They did have cases
of cash though, but none of the Republicans or Democrats got any of the
money. The Sioux Indians did though in a $100 new bill for voting for
Tom Daschle.
Eyewitness accounts of voter registration fraud and
these men in suits with wads of cash handing them out to select voters
filled the papers, but Tom and Steve just smiled friendly as the major
press is owned by Daschle liberals and the cesspool of Democratic South
Dakota politics was about to meet the sewer of Chicago Democratic
politics in Barack Obama.
It is important at this point to
simplify things in the players. Barack Obama is the intelligence asset
who assembled the bag woman billionaire Pritzker shearing money from
poor people while getting massive infusions from nation rapists like
Warren Buffet and George Soros.
David Axelrod is the thug in this
who assigns the "plumbers" to clean up situations like Lawrence
Sinclair with bribes to hiring proxy offshore agents to do surveillance
and hacking on people like Jeff Rense who carry Sinclair stories.
Into
this is Steve Hildebrand who runs the national Obama dry cleaner
managed by CEO David Plouffe who reached out to Biden to silence
Sinclair in a false arrest which bought him not only the Vice
Presidential spot, but now Hillary Clinton's blackmail umbrella.
Think
Hillary only blackmailed John Edwards who was in the race as an Al Gore
proxy on his sperm donation problems like Obama did to keep Gore out of
the race? Hillary has all the names, dates and places of the Obama dry
cleaners.
How this system works on a national scale was the same
for Daschle in South Dakota, but there do have to be records for FEC
filings to keep track of at least a fiction of where $500 million
disappeared to in 19 months of the Obama campaign.

Hey little girl, you want it all
The furs, the diamonds, the painting on the wall
One such dry cleaner was in New Orleans called Citizen's Services Inc. or cutely like the popular CBS show, CSI.
CSI
does sound, stage, lighting or is listed as it does that for Obama, but
it states it does nothing of the sort in the above house pictured with
the Obama sign on it. Yes that is a real Obama hired group house. It is
also an address with 25 businesses operating out of it.
Perhaps it is an underground operation with 25 stories sunk into the Louisiana bayou swamp below it.
CSI
though was paid around $800,000 for various things from the Obama
expense sheet for things it says it does not do and refers to ACORN as
the group which does all the promo work for Obama.
ACORN is hidden by the Obama campaign, because it keeps getting linked to not just getting out the vote, but in election fraud.
When
one reviews the expenditures for services which are not being carried
out and one realizes that bag woman Pritzker in her credit card
surveillance, computer monitoring of 5 million poor to middle class
Americans who are giving there last five dollars they can not afford
and see CSI is listing $98, 451 for "travel and lodging", one wonders
if Louisiana is the biggest state in America the size of Canada with
Club Med millionaire rates for hotels serving caviar.
The dollar's up - down, you'd better buy the pound
The claim is on you
The sights are on me
So what do you do
That's guaranteed
Hey little girl, you broke the laws
You hustle, you deal, you steal from us all
This
is this scam involving Hildebrand, Axelrod, Plouffe and a host of these
money sucklings all initiated in South Side Chicago and Federal Indian
Reservations with the expressed purpose of taking huge sums of cash
from poor people (I will repeat that Warren Buffet, George Soros and
Ms. Pritzker all rape poor people by market manipulation and saving and
loan fraud where they make the billions while poor people are left
holding the empty bag.) in economic rape of their savings or the
literal thievery of Pritzker monitoring of credit cards and when Obama
supporters open emails to drain their last five bucks from them, and,
in all of this transferring all of that money to the hands of the
literal operatives bribing them exactly the way Saddam Hussein bribed
everyone from Bill Clinton to Jac Chirac in France.
Same operation,
just different characters, but the same Marxists using bribes to
subvert national policy and implement an agenda exactly like George
Orwell's Animal Farm where the pigs are in the house with the enslaved
animals are out in the cold looking in.
Come on come on, love me for the money
Come on come on, listen to the money talk
Come on come on, love me for the money
Come on come on listen to the money talk
Money talks, BS walks
Money talks, come on, come on
I'm

What happened is that a
September 13, 2008 - 01:33 ET by CooltomWhat happened is that a opposition researcher found the quote of McCain's about him not using emails. With most of Obama's advisors being college age they figured that with this fact they could portray McCain as a old fogey techno dinosaur -- and their favorite meme -- 'out of touch.'
So they rushed an ad out without doing the slightest bit of research. And it bit them bigtime. This has been a pattern lately, especially with the sleaze patrol being conducted on Palin. When they find anything that can be spun as being tawdry or embarrassing they rush it out to the blogs and media without even looking at the underlying facts and backstories that absolve Palin -- and in most cases make her look terrific.
They've been burned on the library story, earmarks, etc. and will really be hurting if the general public ever gets a whiff of the true story about her state trooper brother-in-law. That is the mother of all landmines waiting to blow up in their faces.
What's really ironic is that these are the same maroons who were bleating that Sarah hadn't been vetted. These clowns don't seem to have grasped the concept of anything is Googlable and the wisdom of the 24-hour rule. Numbskulls all.

If those are the "real
September 13, 2008 - 01:37 ET by hkjgIf those are the "real issues" that the Obama campaign needs to put ads out on, they are in trouble.
Why not put ads out about all the "change" we are going to see once Obama is president? Every one from the left is saying 'lets focus on the real issues.' Sorry, but I don't consider McCain's computer habits a real issue. What's next? Does McCain use a cordless phone? Does McCain have a digital camera? Please...
Time is running out. This far into the game, if the only thing the Obama campaign has is poking fun at McCain, and continually talking about Obama's "lipstick on a pig comment," I think the U.S.S. Titanic- make that Obama is sinking.
The archives of the Bill
September 13, 2008 - 01:45 ET by CooltomThe archives of the Bill Clinton presidential library will contain 39,999,998 e-mails by the former president's staff and two by the man himself.
I'd hazard a guess that Presidents refrain from using emails for security (both National Security and political) reasons. Any computer network can be hacked or the emails can be leaked or subpoenaed too easily. Dubya remarked that he missed not being able to sending emails to friends as Prez.
So the ad backfires for a different reason -- Presidents do not send emails anyway.
I wouldn't be surprised if
September 13, 2008 - 02:14 ET by Carl KolchakI wouldn't be surprised if we found out a large number of our politicians have fallen for the Nigerian Scam, and they don't won't their emails to be archived or else we would all know they have been wasting our taxpayer money by falling to email schemes like the Nigerian Scam. We all know that politicians though are too smart to get caught up in something like the Nigerian Scam, and would never waste taxpayer dollars now don't we?
I don't think the Politburo wants people to use computers
September 13, 2008 - 02:04 ET by Carl KolchakI don't think the Politburo wants people to use computers because they may not be using them in the manner the State wants them to be used. The Politburo probably doesn't like Newsbusters and will do everything in their power to make sure people at Newsbusters aren't using the computer.
"The Chancellor-the late chancellor-was only part correct. He was obsolete. But so was the State, the entity he worshiped.

Obama just stoops lower and lower.
September 13, 2008 - 02:51 ET by Travis NoodleFirst, his "supposed" gaffe about lipstick on a pig Palin comment and now this.
This ad is B.S! I can't believe the obama campaign would stoop to such low and trivial things. This shows me that the man doesn't have the maturity to be the next POTUS! I'm just shaking my noodley little head. This is really sad and desperate.

Maybe he can move the mouse to access sites that are bookmarked for him?
We should not be surprised
September 13, 2008 - 08:51 ET by dscottWe should not be surprised at Obama and his surrogate's elitist condescending behavior toward people with disabilities, just look at their reaction to Trig. In the libs implied opinion Trig should have been aborted. They denigrate seniors by implying McCain is going to drop dead any minute thus Palin has to be ready at the get go. They denigrate women by claiming Palin's executive experience is LESS than a community organizer. All past experience and contributions by either a senior or woman is not relevant to today implied by Obama's zero track record. The only standard of competence worthy of the presidency seems to be the ability to deliver a well prepared speech.
Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, starving the poor one gallon of ethanol at a time. Fill your tank with E85 and cull a village.
He's losing it.
September 13, 2008 - 12:06 ET by john5750Now on top of losing Florida, women, small-towners, seniors, etc. it looks like Obama will lose those with disabilities and families of those with disabilities, and any veterans who weren't already for McCain.
Obama has no experience, poor judgement, stutters w/o a teleprompter, has too many anti-American/criminal friends, and now is becoming obnoxious.
I can see why he would rather campaign against a VP candidate, Gov. Palin, because against a presidential candidate, McCain, he is a complete zero.
Actually, he's a zero compared to Gov. Palin, too.
McCAIN-PALIN 2008 and HILLARY-ANYBODY 2012
Obama's Digital Divide
September 13, 2008 - 15:05 ET by CanaanMcCain flew the Navy Skyhawk. I think navigating a fighter jet in combat is a little more technogically demanding than instant messaging.
Obama texted the boring Biden pick. Kewl! McCain made the strategically brilliant Palin pick that wiped out Obama's convention bounce in a blink and knocked Obama dizzy. So who's more savvy again?
Obama's ad is obviously divisive, insulting to all Americans who don't live on the net. He's so desperate he has to start a culture war? Obama is the one acting just like Bush.
I already mentioned this in another post.

But upon further thought, Gawd Almighty, how did the first 40 Presidents manage to run this country without email?
How in the name of heaven did we manage to win WWII if no one could email Hitler and tell he to lay off mister!
Just in case.....
September 14, 2008 - 06:15 ET by old crothere are "next day readers" like me, who have the opportunity to post snarky comments after everyone goes home, I will link this "rebuttal" by Scott Ott, posted on his Scrappleface site. Hopefully, I will get another chance with a more current article.
