The Obama Campaign May Have Finished Itself Off Permanently — Through Utter Cruelty [Update]

SAT. A.M. UPDATE: THIS has become a monster story on the Internet. Memeorandum.com is tracking the huge number of posts. However, so far, I see no indication that the MSM is doing its job on this story. (I’m shocked, just shocked.)
……………………….
Today, the Obama campaign launched a smart-alecky ad mocking John McCain’s age and inability to keep up with modern devices, such as using a computer. Why, John McCain doesn’t even know how to send an e-mail. Writes Mark Halperin for Time’s blog The Page, “In one of his two latest TV spots, the Land of Lincolner gets personal, saying McCain has admitted he doesn’t know how to use a computer or send an e-mail, doesn’t understand the economy.”
Here’s the problem: John McCain cannot send an e-mail, not because he hasn’t bothered to learn, but because he is physically unable to do so.
John McCain, because of the torture he endured as a prisoner of war, cannot use a computer keyboard. John McCain can’t even comb his own hair.
This ad, released by the Obama campaign today, and played numerous times on television, is utterly cruel, and should not only be pulled from the Obama Web site and Obama YouTube channel — where it is still displayed — but also require Obama to issue a profound apology:
Thanks to Ed Morrissey, we have the full back-story on this:
Earlier today, Barack Obama’s campaign released an ad attacking John McCain for not knowing how to send an e-mail. Their crack research team apparently never heard of Google or Lexis-Nexis, but Jonah Goldberg does. He discovers why McCain doesn’t use a keyboard — his torturers made sure he couldn’t. The Boston Globe reported it eight years ago:
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.
After Vietnam, McCain had Ann Lawrence, a physical therapist, help him regain flexibility in his leg, which had been frozen in an extended position by a shattered knee. It was the only way he could hope to resume his career as a Navy flier, but Lawrence said the treatment, taken twice a week for six months, was excruciatingly painful.
”He endured it, he wouldn’t settle for less,” said Lawrence, who rejoiced with McCain when he passed the Navy physical. ”I have never seen such toughness and resolve.”
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?
Thank you, Ed.
What a terrible error, Team Obama.
The sooner you issue a truly sincere apology, the better.
If you have the character to do so.
Frankly, I doubt you do.
In your world, Being O means never having to say you’re sorry. Or eat humble pie.
Your arrogance will be the ruin of you, Barack.
Not to mention the Democratic party.
::::
The one saving grace for Barack: The media will doubtless not cover this nearly to the extent it should.
If Hillary Clinton or Sarah Palin or John McCain had made such a cruel mistake, the TV news coverage would be relentless and condemning.
We shall see if the media do their job this time. I’m not holding my breath.
This makes me sick to my stomach.
Agreed.

What do they say in those McDonald’s ads? ‘I’m loving it’?
Shame on Barack! His huge ego knows no bounds of decency.
“Periodically, Barack feels down in the polls and starts launching cruel attacks to boost his appeal”…
This is the funniest video on Obama yet please watch funny and true.
NO OBAMA
MCCAIN/PALIN 2008
SORRY IF ALREADY POSTED
Forgot the link you got to see it:

ROTFLMAO!
What mkm125 said….
OMG…I peed my pants on that one…
THANKS so much for that!
Cool!
Hmm,
that didn’t work for me.
I am German and understand what is said in the movie.
Yeah, that was very funny.
There is a BlueRAY vs. HDDVD version that has been out for a while that is equally funny.
Generally speaking, when one invokes HITLER, one has lost the argument, but this appears to be an exception to the rule.
The whole “bunker mentality” concept is a bit amusing. And it has that ring of reality around it, too!
OT–I’m still amazed that we’re at the point where we CAN laugh at that shit! I can remember a time when more than a few people remained APPALLED at Hogan’s Heroes (and that was BEFORE Bob Crane’s perversion was exposed) and even making cracks about the assasination of Lincoln was viewed as “too soon!”
I just hope the lessons of the war are taught–I kinda don’t think they are, which is a shame.
The more Americans who see this ad, the better. This will show everyone the true Barack Obama.
And this ad will play much worse throughout our country than the “General Petraeus or General Betray us” ad from the infantile MoveOn.Org geniuses.
Someone might have taken the time to figure out that most civilized Americans don’t like it when you belittle a person who has served their country, especially not a person with a lifetime in uniform, like Petraeus (whether you agree with his actions or not — these slurs do not get the point across).
And they really don’t like it when you make fun of someone’s disability — particular since it was the result of torture.
Obama, Axelrod and company should really hang their heads in shame tonight — but I think they have no shame.
Honestly, if I didn’t know any better, I would think they are deliberately trying to lose this election. Hmmm.
Obama keeps whining that no one focuses on the issues, yet he’s the one talking about lipstick on pigs and smelly fish. McCain wanted to do town hall meetings with him, but no, he’d rather focus on the fact that he can type faster than McCain and knows how to hit the “send” button on a computer. How very Presidential of him.
Shameful and despicable.
But don’t forget: the Republican Party has a proven history of smearing Viet Nam veterans. They were smearing John McCain before we ever heard of Barack Obama.
The Republicans thought nothing of smearing John Kerry in 2004, so they could get their National Guard deserted hacked into the White House. Remember those cute little Purple Heart bandages they wore at their convention? For this alone, every Republican in America should be tarred and feathered.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyrMS6MBuSg
No offense Perry, but mocking a blowhard like Kerry with bandaids is pretty mild compared what the Obamacrats have done and said about Hillary and Sarah. I know you don’t like Obama so I wonder who you’ll vote for, but McCain and Hillary are more alike being Centrists than not.
And if you think McCain hearts Bush I doubt it.
I ranted and raged against Bush since 2000, but after seeing the Obamacrats and knowing how PHONY the DNC/Dems are I’m choosing Country First this time.
Uppity Woman’s Sawdust article here a few days ago really Hit Home about the real Truth Of the Democrats for me.
Believe me most Of Us Hillary supporters who have decided to support McCain/Palin are voting Republican for the VERY first time. And its not going to be easy, but anyone will be a step up over Obama.
Kerry is such a loser anyway.
EXACTLY!
The more I learn about Obama, the more I dislike the direction he’s wanting to go.
After doing a little research about Palin I find that most of what is being said about her is absolutely false.
Someone said it elsewhere; but Obama runs this ad but doesn’t effectively search the web? If he can’t manage a campaign effectively, how can he manage the country?
Again, I wholeheartedly agree. I have to vote for McCain. I think he’s a decent man and stands for reform, not just a change in policy. When I found out Obama got the 3rd most contributions from Fannie Mae / Freddie Mac I knew where he stood.
It breaks my heart what Obama is doing to the proud democratic party.
links:
Fannie Mae
we better have centrists like McCain then communists!!!
Hillary is not centrist, She is Progressive!!!
That’s true. The Republicans did mock John Kerry’s service in Vietnam and it was outrageous. I hope no one here will succumb to defending such odious behavior from Republicans in 2004 because there is NO DEFENSE for such disgusting displays.
And, in fact, McCain deplored and condemned the swiftboat attacks on John Kerry when they were occurring because he knew full well that the Republicans were acting despicably. McCain respects John Kerry’s service, and in fact the two worked together to normalize US relations with Vietnam–for which they were both criticized by some in the GOP.
So, keep it real here. Perry Logan is right on this point. The Republican convention in 2004 was a pathetic and ugly display. I know John McCain would agree with that opinion.
Look, a campaign has VERY little if any control over what a 527 will put out there.
A campaign DOES have control over what THEY put out there!
Obama crossed the line here…intentional or not, either way shows a complete lack of judgment and character!
NOBAMA ‘08!!
As a Vietnam veteran myself, the only one that deserved to be smeared was that traitor Kerry. He was and continues to be the lowest piece of shit this side of Jane Fonda.
Kerry was exposed as a liar after he said that troops in Vietnam were all rapist and murderers. That was the problem that Republicans had with him especially after other Vietnam Veterans came forward exposing him as a liar. McCain does not get a free pass with Republicans either but because of ideology not because he has a problem telling the truth.
I’ve sent an e-mail about this to Vets for Freedom.
Where is AARP’s comment? There are many, active, working seniors who may not use email either. Does that mean they’re out of touch?
The online world is NOT the real world.
I did not like the tone and “air” of the add. I know they were trying to be snarky - not good when a good thing when talking to older voters.
But, I recall this story now. When thinking of this, and then thinking about the ad, it makes me sick, too.
Good point, Larry. Obama is making fun of McCain’s disability.
I will produce a youtube about Obama’s ageism tactics as well.
Thanks for letting us know about the video. I didn’t see the video until now. Grrrrr.
DD-post your youtube here and I will make sure to crosspost it to other blogs- as I will crosspost this excellent article by SusanUPC-
Thanks SusanUPC.
The truth needs to get out and it is up to us to do this.
regarding ageism, catch the end of this one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uwpz-HsQPEo
Like some one has so poignantly said here before:
foot - insert - mouth
Oy.
Funny how the “don’t tell me words don’t matter” folks suddenly switch to “who cares what Carol Fowler says?”
And the twit on who says people should vote for Flip van der Flop Obama because he promised something. It gets funnier every day.
DD
Ageism by the despicable Obama Campaign’s insensitive tactics should be combatted as much as Sexism.
What? Media? Do their job? Not likely.
I’ll bet you a moose burger that they will not say a word.
The odds are in your favor. I won’t take you on. I’m sad to say.
“I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a mooseburger today.”
Hope Floats - Isn’t that ‘Wimpy’ on Popeye who said that? LOL! One of my all-time favorite cartoons!
NQ ROCKS…. WORKING CLASS FOLKS wo make up the great American Middle will not put up with this crap..
Working Class Artist, I always find myself agreeing with you. It’s laughable and scary how the Oblahblah camp and the MSM can so misread ordinary Americans. What’s that word? Emotional Quotient! They must have the lowest EQ scores ever registered. Isn’t that a sign of serious emotional illness when you can’t relate to others?
They also failed to use Goggle to find an article from Forbes back in 2000:
“In certain ways, McCain was a natural Web candidate. Chairman of 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 that his wife types on a laptop. “She’s a whiz on the keyboard, and I’m so laborious,” McCain admits.”

iVet-
Thanks for this link
The “tech savvy” Ohitler doesn’t even know how to use a search engine. LMAO.
So…
My Father was a Judge in 50-60s and my Mom a house wife, who was tiping for Him all papers-documents, who was helping my Father!!! Watching all those ugly attack on McCain disabilities and more, that make me sick to my stomach. I apploud McCain wife Cindy, they remining me my parents working together, it was great!!!
Oops. I meant SusanUNPC. I will spread the word on this article. Thanks again.
Well, some folks get a little cranky when they can’t have free college, free welfare, free condoms and above all, free abortion.
These bastards act as if the president’s most important job is to know the latest computer technology and cut their constituents a welfare check, with the tab going to everybody’s children– or grandchildren, depending on when the country collapses.
In Canada, Dr. Morgentaler just received the Order of Canada for his ‘open clinics’ in the 70s and 80s in Canada that enabled victimized children (teenagers like Palin’s daughter) who were pregrant due to Rape and Incest, mental health of finances to have an abortion (not late term of course!). I consider Canada a civilized country and one that gives its women PERSONAL CHOICE IN ABORTION!
You cannot insist that the Government acts irresponsibly and uses a warrant to search every girl’s and woman’s womb and interfere with her person! This is barbaric.
However, education should be given to girls to AVOID UNWANTED PREGNANCIES. Teen pregnancies have considerable diminished as result of education.
Hillary’s enlightened stand on education was both conservative (no late terms and qualified) and progressive in GIVING WOMEN THE CHOICE OVER THEIR BODIES–NOT THE DAMN GOVERNMENT!
I’m sending this to Hannity.
I also tried to send a link to the drudge report, but my computer isn’t cooperating. Gee, I hope Obama doesn’t put together an ad making fun of my lack of computer skills!
wow I didn’t know this. But I thought it was a bad move because many of seniors and elderly do not know how to use a computer. My dad doesn’t know how to use a computer but he sure as hell knows how to vote! By making fun of McCain for not using a computer he is it reinforces that elitist snob persona that so many think he is already. I know another man that is rich and he doesn’t know how to send and email either because he pays people to run his business and send his emails. This is just dumb on so many levels.
My parents don’t use a computer either, both in their late 70s.
Ted Williams is my dad’s hero too! That alone will cinch a vote for McCain by my life time Democrat dad.
If Stephen Hawking can send an e-mail, then certainly John McCain can. Just like your candidate, you’re a lying liar who lies.
You must be David Axelrod.
Yes, that is a possibility. Believe it or not, that occurred to me as well as I was writing up this article.
But it is extremely time-consuming and inefficient to use such devices, and it is far smarter for a busy man like John McCain to have able staff who can handle these tasks for him.
Actually I think it’s Markos. He’s anticipating more time on his hands.
Markos ain’t the one that has staked his credibility on rumored tapes and birth certificates. What’s going to happen to this little echo chamber when none of the things Larry has told you exist are released?
LMAO! Larry’s (or this sites for that matter) credibility -at least in my eyes- is not “staked” on tapes and birth certificates. But for the Orange Satan crowd such logic would be hard to follow.
Yes, Larry’s “logic” is hard to follow, I will grant you that. But ideas born from hatred usually are.
You Obama supporters are the scum of society. I’ve been reading your nasty comments for over a year now, and on a daily basis.
Obama incites HATE in you people.
No, Obama supporters are the puss that feeds off the the scum.
It’s called voice recognition software. It’s been around since the Nineties. Look into it.
Or better yet, why don’t you post something substantive on the issues - Iraq, the economy, global warming. Oh, that’s right. If we talk about issues instead of lipstick on pigs - your candidate loses.
I know, “substantive”! Like Obama’s belittling McCain’s age! Ha haaaaaa. (stupid-ass troll).
Well, why don’t we just talk about lipstick on a pig some more? That really helps me understand where McCain wants to take this country.
Obama was the one who brought up lipstick on a pig, what are you talking about? You want Obamasoretoro to go one on one with McCain on issues?? Better check with your fearFULL “leader”…Obamasoretoro AVOIDS debates like he avoids wounded soldiers!! Obamasoretoro would rather attack McCain’s VP choice because Obamasoretoro loves pickin’ on them women….yep the misogynist that he is, nothing he likes better! Even though, clue….Obama is on the top of the ticket!!! Obamasoretoro, worst candidate in history.
Obama used the phrase in reference to policies that McCain was trying to recycle. You all lied about it.
Obama got caught playing cute and offended women and men alike. It showed weak judgment and made a case that he cannot negotiate with foreign leaders.
yep, that’s it alright. He doesn’t have good judgment at all. He isn’t a leader and has no business running for POTUS.
I’m glad you brought up negotiating with foreign leaders. Now, if by some 1 in 6 chance that Palin becomes President, do you want somebody whose remarks could even be taken as warmongering, even if she didn’t mean them that way? And that’s granting you the most favorable possible interpretation of her remarks on Russia.
wow, back to Palin again…..that was fast….can’t stay on Obamasoretoro’s lack of experience, resume, judgement, lack of leadership skills, lack of accomplishing…ANYTHING. Own your shitty candidate Blue.
“warmongering” because she pointed out the obligations of the NATO alliance? And Obama, Biden, Clinton and McCain all support admitting Georgia and Ukraine to NATO, so her Russian remarks were correct.
And when Barry talked about invading and even bombing Pakistan if Pakistan didn’t show sufficient progress in the war on terror or (worst case) if Pakistan blocked American troops from Pakistani soil (and, notably, the US doesn’t have any international legal standing on sending troops into an allied country without that country’s approval), I suppose you Obamadrones believe he was supporting PEACE.
I think the concept of “war is peace” is a little too Orwellian for most Americans. But that’s Obama–the newest version of Orwell’s Big Brother.
You Obama supporters told us what you thought about the pig comment the minute it happened! We copied your blogposts and sent them to fox. Oh, and the audience members got the pig remark just as they got the flip off of Hillary.
Sorry, it’s not our fault your candidate has the manners of a 12 year old. Own it. Deal with it. Obama is going to take down the entire Democratic party who gave him that nomination. Good luck!
imustprotest — We must forgive Obama — he can’t get over the fact that McCain is using Change when it belongs to him. It has left him flat footed and he is not sure how to respond. Geez he can still be the Hope guy. Or how about Disaster? That word is still available and we know thats what Obama really is — an F’n Disaster.
Voice recognition software is great, if you only use it to make lists, create rough drafts for memos are chat with your friends. It makes tons of spelling errors, you have to dictate punctuation and pauses, and you have to repeat basic grammar to it. It doesn’t recognize the difference between most words phonetically or when a letter is upper or lower case. Great if you’re Stephen Hawkins, but a PITA for a senator who writes very long speeches and would find an assistant more helpful.
I had a classmate who wrote her papers using it. Of course she spoke PERFECT english lol
no southern drawl in that gal!
Yes, I’ve played with that type of software before. Not fun at all.
And don’t try using it if the TV is on in the background… I could tell a really funny story of my using it with a news report about Osama bin Laden in the background and my paper looked like a CIA document…lol!
Blue Intrigue…talking about the ‘lipstick pig’ some more should help you understand where Obama HAS ALREADY TAKEN THE COUNTRY.
Voice recognition software has a long way to go and has a lot of limitations. It isn’t the panacea others are putting forth.
keir — I tried to use it for a while and if you were a little tired it started typing gibberish.
Golly, blowing pigs, you better take a look at the polls. Even mydd has McCain up by two EC votes. And speaking of issues, who is posting little gems like Bristol Palin’s lover is a black guy? Or that Trig Palin is Bristol’s child?
Go back to logging onto porn sites and sticking your male appendage in the usb port.
I love how the polls are meaningful when they favor you but BS when they don’t. How much pot do you guys smoke to destroy your short-term memory so badly? When a so-called troll cites favorable, it’s all “DUKAKIS!”, then the tide turns slightly and the polls are suddenly God’s own truth.
Two weeks ago the polls at mydd had Obama over 300 EC votes and John McCain struggling at 225 or so. Look how he has managed to make a sow’s ear out of a silk purse. We can only hope he keeps it up and takes out down ballot Dems while he is on a roll.
OMG! You just called Sarah Palin a pig. I mean the polls dropped when she was named VP, so clearly that sow’s ear remark is sexist!
It’s only going to get better. Dukakis was polling better at this point. Barely over a month to go, and Obama’s going down in flames.
Oh my
It’s called reading comprehension something you missed because you were pasting pages of National Geographic together in the boy’s room instead of attending class. Obama took what should have been a walk in the park for Democrats this year and blew it.
Mr. Mike Obama blew it because he cannot stand the competition. Sorry BO but you can’t run in every election unopposed. McCain and Palin want to win — get over it.
What JOB will Obama try for after he loses in November? All he’s ever really done is run for an office..
Obama better hone up on his computer skills and move to Africa and send Nigerian emails…LOL!
Stop Projecting Sweetie.
You are just going to have to face the fact Obama is going down.
Get over it.
Start now and by November you will be at peace.
jeremiah — Say it isn’t so BO. Obama is going to be on Saturday Night Live tomorrow night doing a skit with an actress playing Palin, according to Sean Hannity. The man is a sick joke, he is so consumed with Sarah Palin that he cannot concentrate on his own campaign. Mocking a woman can be hazardous to his bid to become President — in fact McCain is already leading Obama by 13% among women–another image of Obama demeaning women will double that.
shhh don’t stop him now
anyway he cancelled his appearance because of Hurricane Ike, he said it wouldnt be appropriate to show up on saturday night live while the country is facing a crisis…because you know he might be needed at any moment to push back the waters.
ROTFLMAO!!!!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Substantive. Who do you think will initiate levies and taxes on internet trade and traffic? McCain or Oblahblah? Vote for Oblahblah and you’ll find out that by the first 100 days you would have to pay 2/3 percent federal taxes on internet commerce and 1/2 percent on traffic volume. Maybe more. Is that substantive enough?
Got a link? I’ll wait.
You don’t like to pay taxes, don’t you. Now you know who to vote for.
Still waiting.
Tell us one accomplishment Obama has brought forth to the world to make us open our eyes and vote for him. Go on. We’ll wait.
Yeah, and it still sucks.
“Issues”, you’re a hoot! Now that the smears on Palin are not sticking you are throwing the issues in the ring. The trouble is: Obama’s platform is NOT ISSUES. Never was, never will be.
Smears? You think those subpoenas issued today are a joke? We don’t need smears, we have the truth.
The truth about what?
blue intrigue — these are Obamabots who are going after nothing. The state trooper said the Obama campaign offered him money which he turned down. He supports Palin and knows he was wrong. 13 witnesses they say — that is 13 witnesses — remember 13 witnesses. If wishes were horses then devils would ride.
Why do Obama and his petty little Obamabots insist on defending the indefensible?
Mocking the disabilites a war hero received serving YOUR country!
What are you and Barry going to do next, go to the Special Olympics and heckle the kids?
Or maybe you can make fun of some 9-11 widows.
Obama and his supporters are heartless freaks!
You may have been born here, but you are NOT AMERICANS!
When REAL Americans find out about this they will join together and make sure that slimey, little worm you nominated will go down in a devastating defeat. He will then resign from the Senate and become a Bill Ayers style, bitter, anti-American collge professor at some leftist school.
Shame on you, Barack Obama!
above my pay grade. This is why Obama does not connect with ordinary Americans. He is cold. Did you see how he threw that rose at the memorial? He is a narciscist who feels nothing about anyone but himself. The only one destroying Obama is Obama.
I felt the same way as I was watching the two of them. I thought I was being too reactive because of my dislike for Obama but I am glad someone else noticed. It just seemed disrespectful. It is a picture of how Obama felt about the whole thing.
ok, let’s have Barky talk about the implications of his pals Ayers, Al-Mansour, Wright on his view of America, and how he would lead.
you can’t handle the truth, or talk about issues. you,like barky, blame everyone else for your stupidity and insensitivity.
instead of apologizing you insist that McCain should have learned voice recognition technology.
Nope, I’m not buying your b.s., or your candidate, or you. scram troll. you are too low-information to be on this blog.
It’s been around since the NINETEEN SIXTIES, fuckwit. But you wouldn’t know that because you were born in the fucking 1990s and you’re a fuckwit.
But none of this means McCain has to have your lifestyle, does it? I mean heaven forbid! One of you is already more than your parents counted on!
Stick around, dude. Some people in here would like to have you for dinner. LMAO
Voice Recognition? LOL … I call it DragonDyslexic 6.1 - You Talk, It Typos. Face it, Big O just launched the Big Uh Oh. First sexism, now Ageism. Great move - alienate AARP. Oh yes, and unlike the “Vote or Die” MTV’ers, Older folks actually vote. Wonder which candidate they’ll be choosing?
Voice recognition software is about as reliable as Barack Hussein Obama’s commitment to Jeremiah Wright.
McCain communicates by phone. For your information, email is a klutzy way of communicating by phone, essentially, except your words are written down to come back and haunt you. Can you come up with a less appropriate reason to vote for or against someone?
Of course we hate Obama when he is so dismissive and trivial of every last category that isn’t him, and we aren’t buying the “it was my staffers” stuff either. He likes to claim that running his campaign is the experience he needs to be preznit, doesn’t he? If he is running this campaign he owns this and all ads, and if he isn’t running this campaign he doesn’t have the experience he claimed, so he’s a liar. Which is it?
Or his wife. According to the article they read the mail together and she types their replies. Sounds about right.
^what a repugnant Troll you are.
Is your mother proud of how you turned out?
Yes. In fact, she was a lifelong Republican until 1996. Now a staunch Obama supporter who turned 87 today. Troll mama for Obama!
Well, why don’t you google earth Obama’s Chicago district and show mama which Rezko/Obama buildings you like best.
The ones that were condemned they were so vile or the ones without heat, hot water, garbage services, etc.
Maybe you can find a picture of the $20,000 a year school his kids go to, along with all the doctor’s and lawyer’s kids from the University of Chicago. Then take a picture of the regular neighborhood school, you know, the ones that were supposed to benefit from the Annenberg millions.
Sigh…i see there may actually be incontrivertible proof that in some cases, ignorance is genetic.
On the other hand, knowing how Obama tends to fabricate so many facts about his past, family, accomplishments, record, i can only assume that his pod people followers goose step in kind.
Therefore…i demand proof that you have an 87 year old mother, proof of her voting history both prior to 1996 and after, and a youtube video with her holding today’s USA today and endorsing Barack Obama. I also demand a member of HRCF present to ensure neither you nor any members of Obama’s thug brigade is forcing her to say this on camera and a DNA tests from both you and her confirming maternity.
Sorry, but after all the Lies from your lying liar of a liar, Fisa, Auschwitz, selma, Military service, Nafta, Foreign Policy, Rezko, Ayers, Auchi, Wright, we just cant believe anything that comes out of his or his brownshirts’ mouths.
LMAO.
I swear the Trolls on this site are comedy gold!
Jerimiah, if you are a stand up comic in the world outside the blogosphere, I’d really like to see your act! You are absolutely hilarious!
sadley no, i am a computer programmer.
You’ve missed your true calling. But anyway, a lot of us here are enjoying your hilarious comments.
me too.
Geeks rule! Who do these bots think makes email run, and MMORPGs where they learn social skills, and all the rest of the kewl stuff that we can only have when we get over being racist and start being hopeful and changeworthy? And strangely, not all geeks are actually 15 years old. (can’t imagine some of these bots putting out the work that one member of a MMORPG team does)
I’ll get TechDude right on it and post it on TexasDarlin’s blog.
MY God - Baghrat Topagua? Is that You??? How’s the yoghurt gig these days?
OMG- you truly made me LOL and I’m still laughing now. Probably the best, most spot-on comment I’ve read today in my (too much time) on the internet. Prolly no affect on the Pods, but still brilliant.
The Vietnam war statement was just too much. As if Obama was even old enough to be in a position to be drafted much less decide whether or not to go.
Another fake choice he didin’t have to make. Like voting for the IWR.
Candymarl — Obama said he thought about going into the military but there was no war so he lost his ardor.
actually, you are more like a troll-infant disguised as a child. better get back into your stroller and move along.
Wow. What a family. She senile and you congenitally stupid. Your neighbours must have great laughs at your expense.
more evidence that Republicans are the ones pushing Obama down our throats.
Oh, that’s rich. Calling my mother senile in a diary about Barack’s supposed ageism. My father died from complications due to Alzheimer’s so I know a little about “senility”, a term that is considered passe. Do you have any self-awareness? Or a sense of shame, for that matter?
How the F is he going to answer that? He’d have to know who his mother is first!
How old are you ? Youre a lying liar who lies.. That sounds like gibberish.
Oh, excuse me. I forgot that I was speaking to intellectual giants. You’re a prevaricating enunciator of untruths who articulates falsehoods. Better?
I see you found a use for your Webster’s … other than as a door jamb so mommy doesn’t walk in on a spanking session.
You are quite the lowlife Blue Intrigue. Someone has disabilities from five years of torture, your response is pretty much “Get Over It!” You fucking make me sick.
I know a writer who must use voice recognition software and he hates it. Rapid response? Forget it. He is unable to meet tight newspaper deadlines and can only do features with longer windows. He is frustrated with how laborious the software is, a man in his mid-twenties. Can you imagine not being able to use your hands to do simple things? There is such a thing as empathy, look into it. Creep.
What are you, insane? Compassion? Obama supporters?
The same folks that accuse people of incest, infidelity, in-breeding and being “white trash”, because they disagree?
Now they’re equating John McCain and Stephen Hawking. They don’t care about Prof Hawking. He’s a stick to beat someone with.
Next they’ll be advocating that people that are just seriously ill be turfed from hospitals. After all they’re not quite dying yet, are they?
I love how they bring up what Larry wrote but never mention the awful things they’ve said with the same lack of proof and no mention of independent sources.
Yeah you forgot who you were talking to. But we didn’t. We know we’re dealing with a fuckwit insect. Probably about 15 years old.
“You’re a lying liar that lies!” just became my new favorite obot prod.

Lying liars that lie … recycled Al Franken material.
Oh Brother !….Blue Latrine are ya just that stupid…lacking IQ vitamins in the average GAZA diet ?….Tell the Overseers we demand better quality trolls…entertaining ones…sheeesh!
Agreed. That idiot is too boring for words. I’m going over to Daily Kook for a while and piss some Kool-Aid™ drinkers off. See ya later!
What is the problem with Obama supporters? They attack women, pregnant girls, babies with special needs, and now veterans with disabilities. How sick is this?!
It’s hope and change sweeping the nation.
Blue Intrigue…
WHy do you support Sen Obama?
And can I infer from your remark that you are okay with this latest Obama ad poking fun at Sen McCain’s inability to type due to his trouble with his arms caused by the torture he endured on behalf of our country’s reputation?
If so, I’ll bet that you see no problem with the following either…

See all the lies Sen Obama and his campaign are spreading about Gov Palin and how factcheck.org cant keep up fast enough with researching and refuting them all….

CEOs of companies don’t email anymore…it’s called a “personal assistant”.
Oh BI you are a nasty boy. Patience: this is a passing thing in underage teens. It goes away with time.
Blue, voice recognition is the ONLY WAY Hawkins can communicate. It takes months for him to make an idea clear even with an assistant. You people never seem to learn anything. This ad of Obama’s will backfire like so many other nasty things his camp has done. Here are some reflection on age. It will be good for you to read not only because the majority of voters in this country are over fifty, but also because you will be old someday yourself (if you are lucky).
And in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.

Barky can shove his computer up his ass sideways. It certainly didn’t help him with his geography of America, and his 57 states gaff. What a dumb shit.
Nor is it helping him form a stable position on Israel, you know, one that he sticks to for more than a month. Oh, yeah, his laptop is really helping him there.
If I want to know our status at home and abroad, I would go to John McCain, never to that Obama-wants-to-be-a-geek-too-oh-look-at-me-I-can-send-an-email asshole.
MG - using the ability to send an email as a measure of competency for POTUS.
BARKY CAN’T RAISE HIS RIGHT HAND TO HIS HEART FOR THE NATIONAL ANTHEM. OH, BUT HE COULD SEND AN EMAIL TO AHMADINKYJAD, BUT SO CAN ANOTHER 2 BILLION PEOPLE ON THE PLANET. BARKY, YOU’RE AN ASSHOLE.
Did you read the Forbes article? Why no, you didn’t.
He DOES send email–he dictates it….because he can’t use the keyboard.
What good is that computer of yours, if you’re unable to comprehend the material right in front of you?
You look like an ass, now, because you couldn’t bother to read.
You are just as Obama is, an ignorant, disrespectful hater. We all are diffrent and McCain wouds are affecting Him differently from any others. Shot up and get off this blog, You ugly person!!!
McCain camp should make a special ad to answer to the ad saying, “It’s true, I don’t know how to email, not only that I cannot comb my hair either because the torture I experienced damaged my nerves on my shoulders.”
The ad is as lightweight as Oblama anyway - I can’t imagine this would resonate with any but the silliest left-wingers. I heard once that Bill Clinton didn’t use the internet or email way back in 1999…I thought, so what?
Everyone send the forbes article and boston herald article to everyone.
After the pigstick-gate this will cinch it.
You do not pcik on a vet for disabilities suffered as a pow.
WE MUST GET THIS OUT.
I have feeling the mccain camp won’t because they probably find the ad stupid and do not want criticized for bring up the pow as a defense.
Maybe they will maybe not but we should send this to everyone and make sure america knows what a heartless cockboy barrack “funny name” Obama.
O, and did you notice how many times they mentioned his”funny name” at the convention? Diggin for sympathy votes.
If he hates his “funny name” so much why not just keep it Barry Soetoro like in indonesia?
My god.
How low can one get….
He ‘APPROVED’ a message that has doesn’t event remotely have a bases in issues?
Imagine the wonderful things he will “approve” if he manages to steal the election!
.. the horror!
I’m a fairly tech savvy person — programming, 3D animation, internet. I never thought that remotely compared to navigating a f***ing fighter jet! Instant messaging. Landing a jet on an aircraft carrier. Sorry, no comparison.
I love the line from the McCain character in the movie Deep Impact. “It’s not a video game, son. Hahaha! It really isn’t.”
What a looser….. What a horrible man…
He is the worse cretin that walks..
I think he surpassed Kerry for dumb ass ideas!
sarasota — According to Sean Hannity Obama is going to do Saturday Night Live with with an actress playing Palin. To say its in bad taste after the pig with lipstick remark is an understatement. Obama is pathetic.
Hopefully he will have some guy with disabilities playing mccain and he can make fun of him not using a computer and finish the implosion of the Obama campaign before he monday morning news cycle.
Nothing would make me happier than to see the Obamination over and done with.
There is still enough time for them to fully implode, have all the DNC leaders offer full mea culpas and apologies put together a ticket with Hill and her choice of VP and head towards november.
Pelosi Reed and Dean will ofcourse need to resign.
Donna Brazile will have to be kicked out of the party along with James Clyburn and every other racemonger.
Keith Olberman will have to be taken into custady and evaluated for mental health reasons and then put in an institution.
Ofcourse none of that will happen. We will be forced to watch and laugh as this greek temple tragedy plays out over the next 8 weeks and the DNC implodes and meltdown into utter and total chaos in horrificly garish detail.
Now see, you could be putting your programming skills and wit together and, with the right drawing engine, make a RPG out of this, only in your game you could actually strike them down with lightening and watch the pieces fly. It is very satisfying, I can tell you.
The last comment on the ad sounds about right: “After one president who was out of touch we just can’t afford more of the same.”
Sounds a bit like a description of Obama.
Is it followed by “I’m Barack Obama and I approved this message?”
please, oh please tell me it is
why yes, yes it is.
Fuck you Berserk Ohitler. I hope you rot in hell.
And e-mailing is such a vital component of national security. Who cares if McCain uses e-mails or not?
Is he missing the mass mailings of Obama begging for money?
Or are the Obamaphiles worried that Putin won’t be able to exchange youtube video links with President McCain.
I am sure if Obama were president (not gonna happen),
that he would be sure to spend four or five hours a day on the internet. How reasurring to the american public that we would have a president who can do e-mails all day and all night.
Might as well link it here:

OMG the Horror! Barrack Obama wears Isotoners? That completely trumps making fun of John McCain not being able to surf the webz blogging about Palins baby and pregnancy suit!
Freedom Fighter…stop fighting freedom…we dont want to live in the Socialist States of Barrack AmeriKKKa!
Get Over It!
Do you want to live in a Bush state? McCain is 90% Bush while Palin is Bush on steroids.
Stop trying the deflect criticism of Ohitler’s latest inhumane behavior.
Look, it was obviously a honest mistake. Even SusanUnPC said it was a mistake. Stop trying to score cheap political points off it.
Ohitler honest is an oxymoron.
Was it an honest mistake to brand the Clinton’s as racists and threaten a race war if “the one” is not elected? You have no moral compass just like your leader.
I don’t think there’s any question that the Clintons played the race card. Hillary Clinton had like 70% of the African American vote. There is good reasons why the African American community is now pissed off at her.
Your version of revisionist history is laughable and only a koolaid addict would swallow it.
Or someone who really isn’t here, and one of us–I think Freedom Fighter (except that one using the name last week) is being fed stock lines that he doesn’t really understand the nuances of. Don’t let them take advantage of you, FF! They are using you, and it won’t help the Manchurian candidate Ohitler at all.
That is a racist comment as well as extremely naive. You act as if all those human beings act as one mind in a monolithic fashion.
Only a fucking idiot would believe Hillary had anything to do with why blacks supported Obama in the primary. I mean, you’d have to be drunk on stupid to believe that crap.
Because Team Obama downloaded this meme while you were in a Cheetoh and orange kool aid induced stupor.
further proof that idiots like you do not help Obama’s case at all.
Keep calling the Clintons racist and see how many votes that gets you sweetie.
Barrack Obama Supporters…with Fanatics like these who needs Republican 527s?
Could it have anything to do with the Obamaphiles claiming every word out of her or Bill’s mouth was meant as a racist comment. Obama’s supporters editing clips from 16 yr old video’s falsely claiming Clinton supporters were making racist statements? Or are you going to claim Obama’s campaign had nothing to do with any of it. Just like they apparently had no control over illegal campaign fund raising in Kenya being advertised on the official Obama campaign website. And of course we know Obama had no control over changing the laws in Illinois to make it possible for his buddy Rezko to commit his crimes. I’m beginning to think that Obama supporters should be taken in and subjected to genetic testing so we can start screening for the STUPID gene they are obviously carrying to prevent mankind from going the way of the DODO!
Hey Free-DUMB!
The 0bamas LIED on the Clintons. And stupid people like you who know nothing believe anything they say.
I wrote a letter to Bill Clinton recommending he sue Michelle 0bama for lying on him. The video is on youtube with Clinton’s remarks.
It’s out there and totally provable.
You are an idiot!
Little shit hole Freeedom fighter you wrote.
“I don’t think there’s any question that the Clintons played the race card. Hillary Clinton had like 70% of the African American vote. There is good reasons why the African American community is now pissed off at her.”
You damn right AAs are pissed off at the Clintons because Obama lied about them.
Obama had won Iowa, lost New Hampshire, lost Nevada, and was desperate to win SC, otherwise his candidacy would have been over if he could not win a state with such a large black, democratic primary majority. At that point Hillary lead in the SC poll and had 65% black support. He had to pry those votes from her hands and he had a limited amount of time to do it. As a result he and his wife put into action their revolting racial strategy to rile up the black people. Do you people actually think the Clintons would under those favorable circumstances come to SC and conspire to make black people angry with race baiting talk and then expect them to go out and vote for Hillary? If anyone believes that he is an idiot. I don’t think Clyburn believed it either therefore he was complicit in this fraud that was perpetuated on black people. Just as with the southern governors George Wallace and Lester Maddox, his strategy worked perfectly. HE MADE A FOOL OUT OF BLACK PEOPLE!. As an AA female Hillary supporter, a person who marched with DR. King, and a firm believer in truth telling, I DESTEST OBAMA FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE AND I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR HIM. He is today’s black George Wallace and Lester Maddox using race for crass political gains.
Yeah - because Obama, the MSM, and the rest of his scummy supporters race-baited during the primary! Coupled with that, many were looking forward to “the first African-American president.”
So DON’T get it twisted.
If that is the case, Obama makes way too many mistakes.
The majority of people don’t buy the “McSame” argument.
Especially since Obama supports all kinds of Bush policy even more so than McCain. Glass houses and all that.
My parents thought it was a new burger at McDonalds. LOL.
FF…I live in a Bush state…TEXAS…lol
I’ll take that Aaaand Ike over Barkyand his GLAM SHAM…ANYDAY…
Country First…Just say no to Barky’s electric Koolaide…
LULZ
Your desperation talking points are getting old.
You have been saying the bush line for too long.
Call Koolaid Central and tell them to fax you the latest talking points pronto!
Freedom Fighter, Stop Fighting against Freedom.
We do NOT want to live in the Socialist States of Barrack AmeriKKKa!!
Obama is Bush…in a donkey suit!
I’d say he is an a$$, but he doesn’t know his rectal orifice from an apeture in the earth’s surface.
Yeah, I was going to use the term ‘ass’ but I have learned that the Obots don’t know simple things like ‘a donkey is an ass’ … SAD really. Obama was trying to appeal to his young dumb voters (not all young people are dumb some are just naive) with this ad. I remember my little sister didn’t realize that at one time you had to change the channel on the t.v. by getting off the couch! Obama is taking advantage of this kids!
McCain is a hero and a great American and will be a great President.
That said, I would take ANY human being as president over that lying little monster named Barack Hussein Obama.
You don’t mock the injuries of war heroes in this country, friend!
Keep spreading the O’bummer talking points. No one here is listening. And the way O’bummer keeps exposing himself for who he really is, more people will look beyond those lame lying talking points.
And Obama voted with McCain 87% of the time.
Notable differences:
Obama for the Cheney backroom Big Oil Tax breaks
Obama for the Bridge to Nowhere
Obama for the FISA
I guess Obama was just looking to a leader in the Senate. In McCain he chose a good role model. Too bad he doesn’t qualify to stand in McCain’s shadow.
LOL and McCain doesn’t flip flop. And he doesn’t have aides go to Canadian embassies to tell people his stump speeches are just more Obama bullshit etc.
Freedom Fighter-
what is the difference between a ‘bush state’ and an ‘obama state’?
Read these articles and get back to me…ok?

Now…all his votes in Congress on subprime mortgage issue are beginning to make more sense…
Sen Joe Lieberman (strongly pro-Iraq invasion) was being opposed in the CT Senate race by Ned Lamont- a VERY popular candidate who ran on strong Iraq War opposition platform.
Sen Obama flew in to CT to support Lieberman.
Yes, the same Sen Obama, who says that he strongly opposed the invasion of Iraq…

Finger-to-the-wind Iraq Stands
” In July of `04, Barack Obama, “I’m not privy to Senate intelligence reports. What would I have done? I don’t know,” in terms of how you would have voted on the war. And then this: “There’s not much of a difference between my position on Iraq and George Bush’s position at this stage.” That was July of `04. And this: “I think” there’s “some room for disagreement in that initial decision to vote for authorization of the war.” It doesn’t seem that you are firmly wedded against the war, and that you left some wiggle room that, if you had been in the Senate, you may have voted for it”
Don’t waste your time on that TPT.
Foo Fighter;
are you SURE you ain’t hittin’ on BarkO’s crackpipe?
Barko was against the War - before he voted to fund it.
Barko was for Katrina Aid - before he voted against it.
And FISA - Need I say more? (Besides “You Fool!”)
Change we can BeLIEve in… heh heh heh
You are off topic trying to divert attention away from Ohitler’s latest cruel behavior.
Jake Tapper has articles on all the candidates, during the primaries and now into GE.
Freedom Fighter, you know you want to open your eyes to the truth. Just do it. Obama won’t come after you. You know Obama is a dimwit, an empty suit. It’s still not too late. You’ll thank yourself later. Just get it over and you’ll feel much much better. The stress and that heavy feeling in the pit of your gut will go away. Just drop him like a bad habit. I mean really, what has he really done for you? Name his greatest accomplishment.
Really? There are none? Right, there are none.
There is nothing there. It is easy to see once you clear your mind and think about it.
See, it wasn’t that hard. Just kick him to the curb, and get on with life. He isn’t what he made himself out to be, no reason to go down with the Titanic when there are lifeboats left. After all, you were fooled. Many people were fooled. No one is going to think bad if you do give him up. Well, maybe the drones on those insane Obama kool-aid sites, but then again you don’t need their kind either. Who are they anyway? Right, a bunch of internet weenies who are eating up their parent’s credit cards taking classes they will fail in anyway. They haven’t had to face real responsibility yet. Obama was the cool kid on the block. They believed in Obama. They believed he was the answer (to what question, they do not know). They were fooled too.
You, Freedom Fighter, don’t have to remain blind. You’ve been here for awhile now. You have seen information and read ideas from different viewpoints that you just don’t get on those hate-filled sites. It’s creeping in your mind. Somewhere, you know the truth. You know it. It’s ok to question yourself. It’s ok to question Obama.
Free yourself of the shackles of lies and hate. Just give him up. You think he cares what you think? You think he will help you? He doesn’t care about you. Really, he doesn’t.
Free yourself, Freedom Fighter. Can you do it?
Yes You Can!!!
This ad is so lame. Besides the fact that it makes fun of McCain’s permanent injuries from being a POW, the ad is simply ineffective. It reflects Obama’s lame sense of humor. The music is awful and it makes fun of old people. My mother doesn’t use the internet either. That doesn’t make her retarded. This is going to rub a lot of people the wrong way. The only people who would find this ad funny are wealthy 20-something Obamabots who believe that anyone who can’t afford MacBook and internet access isn’t worth the dirt off their shoes.
Plus what is with the disco ball… not something the 80’s is known for.. disco was dead by then, am I right? Maybe they were picking on mcCain’s disability more than we know… maybe the disco ball, he can’t dance, the rubix cube… can’t do that… golf cart.. can’t drive…
WTF? I was pissed before I heard about the fact McCain can’t type etc… but think about all the other things in the ad… MAYBE they knew what they were doing?
1980’s = the rise of COCAIN IN AMERIKKKA…Freudian slip…or commentary of desire ?….chuckle….Barky approved of this ad
Gee, Obama, while you’re at it, why don’t you mock FDR’s disability, as well? Oh, right, not a good idea because FDR was elected President. Not a good analogy to draw.
What a blunder of an ad. Attacking McCain’s deficiencies first without knowing why they are as such and then right after coming from a forum where he said he hated personal attacks and was demanding that the campaign would be focus on issues.
Now whenever I push the Send button for Emailing I remember McCain and say a little prayer for him.
Ask any of the Obots to send a message using the tap code McCain used at the Hanoi Hilton. He was very good at it. It requires visualization, trust and intelligence and a mouse won’t help you there. Oh, and do that after you’ve had your arms broken repeatedly and other forms of torture. I’ll bet the Obie squad would fall apart if you took away their latte or chardonnay. It’s called reality.
This should be sent to everyone at FOX news. Obama is trying to insult and beat down a large segment of our population…..Women, Sr.’s, people with disabilities, War heroes. Who is left to vote for the guy? Oh right, the bloggerboyz.
I read about this at Commentary earlier today and was really sadden. The ad was really stupid anyway: I don’t believe for a nanosecond McCain doesn’t know about computers or cell phones; second the ad insults millions of Americans that don’t use computers(I guess Obama wrote Florida off for good with this).
But as SusanUnPC says: we can now add cruel to stupid.
The Obama campaign have given reporters their marching orders for today and the weekend: use the word “dishonorable” while describing McCain and feign as much “outrage” as possible for McCain’s 2 ads ( lipstick & education)… And the reopoters complied: today I heard 5 different reporters going through the same routine and read a couple other as well.
MSM: Who is the real dishonorable candidate now ??
I think this is just a youtube ad. People who don’t use computers won’t see this ad.
“just a youtube ad” you say? You are engaging in moral relativism by trying to justify abhorrent behavior because you claim less people will see it.
It was all over the news tonight.. the ad, not the info on John McCain not being able to send an email. And lots of people were watching because of Ike!
Among other things, it is incredibly classist.
I wonder how many seniors out there who can’t/don’t use a computer will still on the fence after this ad. Let’s see what other block of voters the Obama campaign can alienate. Bet his only supporters on election day will be those Cheetos eating basement dwellers (as someone here once put it) and the AA’s. That’s not even a sure bet….they may abandoning him as well..like rats off a sinking ship.
This might even be better than Dukakis in the tank!
Just watched the youtube of Mccain’s View apperance. Wow, those women were so hostile and disrespectful. Especially Barbara Walters and Whoopi Goldberg. I am stunned and disgusted at their behavior. You don’t have to agree with him or like him, but show some respect please. Their disdain for Gov. Palin was palpable, just sick.
Well … um … er … you know … periodically when the hosts at The View are feeling down … hem … snicker … they are hostile and … er … disrespectful toward their … ah … guests.
Do you know how many CONDITIONS McCain and his wife imposed on the VIEW staff prior to their appearance?
Do you know how many questions they said were “off limits?”
Answer to both questions: NONE.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diksCLJAaKI
Some research team Obama got there that they didn’t realize the extent of McCain’s injuries. Can we expect the same attention to detail if he makes it to the White House?
OT if some azzwipe approaches you with that Obama was a community organizer and Palin in a governor crap, remind them that Howard Dean was a governor too.
But then in my old neighborhood another term for “community organizer” was bag man.
I have been sick to my stomach since I saw this ad earlier. This ad would be like making an ad against David Patterson, the legally blind Governor of New York, saying he shouldn’t be governor because he can’t drive.
Obammunist and his tools can go no lower than this. In my opinion, they’ve hit rock bottom today.
We’re in for a world of hurt if these sub-humans get a toe in the WH and it will take years and years to undo the damage that they’ll heap upon us.
Keep up the good work Barky, every day you show us more and more what a despicable and disrespectful monster you are.
McCain/Palin ‘08
“Barack Obama, he’s always ready to smear, but is he ready to lead?”
The blind governor of my state, would scream holy hell and yell racism.
Wow. I’m stunned. I thought the ad was bad and tasteless before I knew about the disability. Now I’m just FLOORED.
Is there a mole within Obama’s campaign trying to bring him down? Because this is beyond stupid.
Remember, Obama surrounds himself with the best people money can buy!
wow. the obama people are scum.
Is anyone surprised by this? If video of Obama surfaced of him kicking a puppy his campaign would organize “puppy kickers for change.” Then they’d run an ad against McCain critcizing him for not being a puppy kicker:
“John McCain says he wants to change Washington. But he can’t comb his own hair, and he won’t kick puppies. That just sounds like politics as usual.” I’m Barry Soetoro and I approved this message.
And to think we could have had political discourse in this election instead of a national temper tantrum. Thanks DNC!
They would get the Puppy Tossing Marine to Endorse Obama!
They would all mock McCain by imitating Cohen’s Alfalfa hair from the day he declared Jesus was a Community Organizer.
BTW, was he using his Jewish Crystal Ball for that prediction?
Let me add quickly that this won’t hurt the obama campaign unless the MSM reports it. and they will not.
we have to direct our fury at the media for coddling BHO
Biden’s understandable gaffe with a paraplegic in a live setting (asking him to stand, then realizing his error, and then, making the best of it, asking everybody to stand for the paraplegic) might have been a timely warning to the Obama campaign. But instead Obama has bested Biden in the gaffe contest. At least Biden recovered in a quick and admirable way. Obama will first have to work through and get over the feeling that he was right at the time given the info that he had. You know how Obama is. Obama is never just plain wrong. Obama was always right under the truth conditions as given at the time. Soporific pride.
McCain is not unaware of the Internet, he does surf it, and has pushed for a permanent Internet sales tax ban for years - since 2001 or earlier, if I recall aright. Whether one thinks that permanent ban on tax a good or bad idea, it’s certainly the case that McCain has thought about Internet.
Hey, Obama is at the top of the ticket. He should be able to screw up bigger than the VP. And he just proved that that’s the case.

Oh and did Trig finally sell on Ebay?
I read some of that this morning. I felt like I was overhearing a conversation on the junior high school bus.
Then I needed a shower.
Really now….Who in America who hasn’t watched McCain over the years not noticed it…C’mon everybody who follows politics knows McCain’s story…and the injuries…and they are as plain as day.
Barky did not make a mistake…he mis-calculated and it backfired on him! Barky is unfit for POTUS
He is unfit for dog catcher.
LOL….that too…DEPORT THE SOB!…TO SOMEWHERE…ELSE…chuckle…
Give him a plane full of beer and bratwurst and drop him over Germany. They love him. I’ve seen the pictures!
I had totally forgot about McCain’s internet campaign in 2000, until I read that. Remember… I think he was doing it before Dean… going to do some research, don’t know, but a remember McCain on the web.
FF…it is so cool that you have time to report to us what you see. Of course your time could be better spent helping BO since we all think he is not qualified to be POTUS.
Wow Obama and his progressive scumbag allies once again show how much the hate America and those who served.
Its too bad we can’t ship the lot to Gitmo for a little waterboarding and manicure, then send them to that peoples paradise China.

They’ve scrubbed it already.
Remember the networks that wouldn’t run one of McCain’s ads? I can’t remember if it was “Celebrity” or “The One” … I’d love to know if they ran this POS Obama ad.
I’m gonna do a wee bit of googling to see if I can find their excuses for not running the McCain ad, and perhaps also find out if those same networks refused to run this one.
He is an ignorant bastard.As we all know,he never care for nobody just for himself.By the way, he was to bussy with Ayers, Rezko,and the Chicago maffia. We must send him back to his kind of in Chicago.America doesn’t need him and his corrupt associates of his.
Damn. I don’t think Roosevelt (either one), Eisenhower, Reagan or most likely 41 of the last 43 Presidents ever knew how to send an email.
This advert is ridiculous.
Thank you Susan. Yeah I am much like McCain. I have a myriad of diabilities many result from my Navy days, though I was no POW. I sometimes wonder if one morning I will wake up and have lurk not write because the VA won’t fix my hands which are the worst of my disabilities. God Bless McCain for all he can do and for putting his country first time and time again including having his own sons join the military and keep a long family tradition going.

It was a 527 group ad, and it was about Obama’s friendship with William Ayers. Apologies for the huffpo link, and for having my facts wrong:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/08/22/fox-news-refuses-to-run-r_n_120599.html
This is so disgusting on so many levels.
My mother suffered a stroke ten years before she died. She couldn’t move her right side at all. She couldn’t get out of bed unless others got her out to sit in a chair and only was able to leave the nursing home on rare occasions.
Yet, she still had every bit of her mental faculties and made a point to vote an absentee ballot up until when she died just two years ago, when her heart finally gave out.
She never used the internet of course, who could even think of such a thing under those conditions. And there are hundreds of thousands of others like her being cared for all across this country by family or in nursing homes. Their physical limitations in no way effect their mental capacity, and they can think and reason just as good as you or I.
I am so angry over this ad that I can’t see straight. Fuck you, Barack Obama. Sorry, censor it if you want but I can think of no other way to put it.
Obama needs to be exposed for this latest attack against John McCain.
Who in the media will report this?
Obama is a GQ candidate: Gutless Quack
Hannity or Dobbs might.
I sent it to Glenn Beck
I figure the more we send it to people the better chance we have of seeing it covered.
I sent it to Hannity and the 527 group our country deserves better, hoping they’ll run an ad!
Looks like someone already posted this link, but here it is again in case you missed it.

There’s no telling if he’s going to buy a tape from the Video Professor, or just have his son-in-law sit down with him for a few days, but John McCain has decided to learn how to use the internet.
“I am learning to get online myself, and I will have that down fairly soon, getting on myself,” McCain told the New York Times in an interview that appeared Sunday. “I don’t expect to be a great communicator, I don’t expect to set up my own blog, but I am becoming computer literate to the point where I can get the information that I need.”
Even so, McCain bluntly admits, “I don’t e-mail. I’ve never felt the particular need to e-mail.”

Even someone profoundly disabled as Stephen Hawking is somehow able to use a computer despite his illness.
Stop being an Obama Apologist.
We get it.
Barrack Obama - ready to smear. Not ready to lead.
okay, you win. the obama campaign ad is just a stupid lie.
Hawking already had typing skills. The computer is his remaining way to communicate in spite of his illness. Most of us know the sound of the programmed voice that he has used and humanized to the point where it’s borrowed for instance here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j50ZssEojtM by Kate McAlpine of the CERN laboratory press office.
The iron incentive in Hawking’s case is not operative in McCain’s case.
I HAVE HAD IT WITH THE DISRESPECT OF NOTEWORTHY CITIZENS WHO SERVE THEIR COUNTRY….BARKY AND HIS GANG OF FASCISTS HAVE GOT TO HELD ACCOUNTABLE….THS S NOT AMERICAN….THIS IS NOT WHAT WE AS A NATION STAND FOR…I AM TIRED OF THE RELENTLESS MANIPULATION AND THE BULLYING AND THE CLASS WARFARE…IF THIS IS WHAT BEING A LIBERAL/PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRAT…AFTER 30 YEARS I AM OUT !
Let’s see now, McCain cannot use a computer due to war injuries, fair enough.
Obama cannot tell the truth because he is a pathological liar, what injury caused Obama to become a pathological liar?
Good question.
Do pathological liars continue to repeat the same lie over and over? Because every media outlet in the country practically has pointed out one candidate’s lie over and over - and she’s still saying it.
Oh, I’m glad you brought up pathological liars….Obamasoretoro IS a pathological liar isn’t he!
Pay attention, Imus. Mel brought it up.

FF if this was an honest mistake on B.O.’s part then it should be very easy for B.O. to honestly and sincerely apologize to McCain, all disabled persons who cannot use the keyboard and to the voters for approving such a vile slap to the disable. I will not hold my breath.
Obama does not have it in himself to apologize. He’ll blame staff.
And what kind of blogger mischaracterizes an entire online community based on a diary that was roundly condemned and subsequently deleted? Don’t forget to clip the bottom of the gif you posted here the other day that proves what I’m saying and for God’s sake, don’t get a screenshot of the comments. I wouldn’t be surprised if you wrote that diary yourself. Because unlike this site, anybody can be heard on DK. You all need to be spoonfed your hateful talking points by Susan and Larry.
You would have an argument if it were an isolated incident. But after months of vile smears of the Clintons then the cesspool of diaries about Sarah Palin’s children the online community at the dailycheetoh pretty much condemned itself.
Much like Obama’s lipstick on a pig and smelly fish remarks. Had he not been caught making sexist comments about Hillary, stroking the side of his jaw with his middle finger when he mentioned her name is a speech or brushing her off his shoulder we might have believed it was a gaff on his part.
Please. That diary may have been scrubbed, but there are screen shots after screen shots of the trash the Cheetos have been posting for 19 months. Many of which stayed up for days and days.
He’ll say the ad was ‘taken out of context’ by the viewers who find this ad offensive, CRUEL, disrespectful, down right mean. Isn’t THAT always his excuse??? We ‘took it out of context’? I don’t see how he can worm his way out with those kind of ‘words’.
Hell. There is a special place in hell for every last one of them. I have been saying the entire time that for some reason they were showing a certain amount of disdain this election for the military and it was coming straight from there worthless good for nothing cant come talk to us in a town hall because he rather play citizen of the world leader. He set the tone Obama and alot of people sure damn followed.
Not for one minute I doubt the cruelty to this ad. A couple of days ago I posted a comment about how on Taylor Marsh a poster was making comments calling McCain a “Crippled War Monger” and I was pissed that they were allowing comments like that without moderation but I got banned for saying that shit wasnt right because you dont know who is on the other side of that computer screen.
God do they even know how many of us have gotten injured in this war alone? The injuries suffered? I know Obama knows because he has talked about traumatic head injuries suffered from those who have gotten hurt. I cant believe THIS is what you get when the gloves come off. At least they had the heart and gave us the courtesy to waite one day before they showed us exactly how they really feel. I guess throwing the rose on live national television wasnt enough.
Keep pretending people Barack Obama has any love for this country. Your fucking delusional.How many presidential candidates can come along and explain why they wont wear the flag pin, wont honor the tradition of rendering respect while everyone else is placing there hand over there heart, minister damns our country while saying 9-11 is the chickens coming home to roost from the goddamn pulpit, have associates pictured stepping on our flag, and wife telling you exactly when she became proud of our country for the first time?
YOU were the ones who made the excuses for him and to explain his actions and HE told you exactly how he felt as well as his wife, friends and pastor. Maybe the Democratic party should get the fucking hint before more people are hurt by there nominees campaign. There bad judgement is simply damn amazing. If the Democratic party thinks we deserve this, maybe they shouldnt have the ability to have an opinion that counts.
Bravo.
You go, girl.

Barrack Obama
You can run but you can’t hide…
…from your past!
Here is a nice one-liner from the Obama blog on the campaign site where everyone is discussing the new ads (there are maybe one or two posters who recommended removing it and many who just thought it was ineffective because it was too weak0:
“Sadly, many undecided voters have gravitated to Sarah Palin obviously because of her looks.”
http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/post/samgrahamfelsen/gG53SH/commentary
I don’t think any of them get the possible repercussions of this ad. If you are goin to argue that your opponent is not tech-savvy, you should probably ensure that you know how to use Google (or some search engine) first. Then you should probably show some type of judgement and do a little research before placing an ad on YouTube and national TV. Since Senator Obama has been declared a genius and constantly praises his own greatness in memoirs, I have to assume that in approving this commercial he was aware of all the facts.
This means he either:
1) he doesn’t care (see primaries for evidence)
2) knows the media will give him the benefit of the doubt when he throws a staffer under the bus and denies knowledge (see primaries and the graveyard under his bus for evidence)
3) he will declare it a non-issue and distraction from the real issues (even though he made the commercial), insist there is fake outrage manufactured by closet racists and the media will nod and poo-poo poor white trash folks for not seeing the higher calling of supporting ‘change we can believe in’ (see his response to Senator Clinton’s supporters’ grievances and his latest sexist attacks for evidence)
Which response will we get, assuming he is ever forced to account for anyone’s ‘misperception’ of his message?
Come on, you all know how Uh-Bama will react. No apology, in fact he’ll demand that McCain apologize to HIM for accusing him of poking fun at a cripple.
“McCain played the cripple card”… is what Obama will say… uh-bama… FUNNY!!! Obama will hold a news conf. that will make Chris matthews leg tingle some more to teach us all about disabilities, like he taught us all about race relations.
It can work both ways though, don’t you think? If Troopergate blows up, Palin’s off the ticket and McCain’s judgment is proven to be lousy. What impact do you think that will have?
“Troopergate” nice one. You mean the trooper who tasered his 10 year old step son? YOu mean the trooper who beat his wife? You mean the trooper who threatened to kill his father in law? You mean the trooper who drank on duty?? You’re seriously gonna defend that POS?
Exactly, I want this one to come out. Middle America will be stoked that Palin took on an evil cop in a small town. One that hurt a child. If Barky were smart, he’d run not walk away from this one. It’s a Movie of the Week for cryin’ out loud.
Danica McKeller has already been signed to play Sarah in the Lifetime version, and talks are in the works to hire Randy Quaid to play Wooten.
Face it, for some reason Barky is trying to lose this thing. There’s no other explanation for all these gaffes the past few days. There is no way someone with all this money and access would be allowed to screw up this badly by his handlers and advisors. Hmmmm. I wonder if Barky has some undercover Republicans in his circle.
Actually, I’d guess Clinton supporters. Axelrod wouldn’t hire republicans…although google searches seem beyond Team Obama’s ability, so maybe I’m giving them too much credit.
The fact they’re actually running with this line of attack blows my mind, Bunny. They can’t be this stupid…can they? And all the MONEY being wasted on a campaign destined for the shitheap of history. Makes me want to weep openly.
I like to think of it this way: George Soros is liberating huge amounts of his offshore funds and spreading them throughout the American economy. Every ad buy helps pay salaries for people at TV stations, and people who works at printing companies, etc. Those people use their salaries to buy food and stuff for their families.
Better yet, more people are waking up to the toxic brew being fed to them by MSNBC, CNN, CBS, and the rest. So those media companies can alter their behavior or be replaced by new players in the market who will provide what the American consumer demands.
shrug. Every cloud has a silver lining.
Yes, I believe they can be that stupid.
Maybe when Obama said the other day (referring to the McCain campaign) “they think you’re stupid” he meant to say “I think you’re stupid.”
Obama is a first class jerk…
Gee, I dunno, blowing pigs, what impact will Patrick Fitzgerald have on the Obama campaign when Tony Rezko spills the beans?
Huge. Can’t wait. Not convinced Rezko will say anything. But if he or anyone else did I think you can count on Fitz coming down hard - yes even (or especially) on Obama.
The problem with hanging too much hope on ‘Troopergate’ is that many people think the trooper had it coming to be fired, he was a pubic menace, and that if the Director of Public Safety could not see that or was too weak to act he deserved to be fired. Even if they prove that Gov. Palin abused her power, many people may not care that much because they are sick and tired of people who work for the government getting a free pass to be incompetent and unaccountable. She did not tolerate it. Did she break the law? Probably not. Many people accuse government executives of abusing power when they are acting within the scope of their duties–it is usually those who were fired and their political allies. It is most likely a witch hunt by people who have an axe to grind with Gov. Palin. They tried this stuff with President Clinton as well and the charges don’t stick because it is a gray area, the accusers have political and monetary motivations and, if the leader is popular (like President Clinton) the people tend to side with the leader rather than the partisan hacks coming after them. Is it any surprise that the investigation is being lead by an Obama supporter (check his website) and that the incompetent official who was fired went to Gov. Palin’s political enemies for backing? She pissed off a lot of politicians in the Alaska machine and has to have a stiff spine to deal with them. The DNC could have allowed the people to elect a politician with an equally stiff spine and a record of dealing with this type of thing as well, but they chose someone who has never had to withstand a tough campaign and who is a better as motivational speaker and drivel writer. He should have just sold books and joined up with Eckhart Tolle on Oprah.

SEXIST PRESS CONTINUES AD NAUSEUM
In todays Chicago Suntimes Neil Steinberg writes:
I walk in beauty, as Krazy Kat used to say. My heart sings, while my Democratic brethren fuss and fret over the advent of Sarah Palin, that George Bush in drag, that QVC home shopping channel in human form. They see her as a Trojan horse, with John McCain crouching inside (and within him, a tiny George Bush, nestled in his heart).
They watch in horror as their gleeful fellow citizens fling open the gates; they see the happy crowd strain at the ropes and they despair.
Yet I am not afraid.
First, because it’s September and not November. A lot can happen in six weeks. The cracks in the feisty facade Palin offered in her maiden speech before the nation are already widening — the 300 nights of travel reimbursement the reformer received while sleeping at home; her initial support of the Bridge to Nowhere, and worst of all, the casual attitude toward the truth revealed in her brash claims, all too familiar to anyone who has been paying attention the last eight years.
Second, remember, those are just the immediately obvious flaws, the rotten fruit littering the ground, waiting to be gathered. If Palin were ready to be vice president, never mind president, she would not have spent the last two weeks in complete media isolation, while squads of Republican spinmeisters struggled to prepare her for the ordeal of being given a cat bath by Charlie Gibson, master of the slow-pitch softball.
And finally, even if the ruse works. Even if America buys this cubic zirconium in four easy payments of $33.99 and then proudly presents it to the world as a political diamond? Well then, frankly, that’s OK too, because it will be entirely our fault, and we’ll deserve what we get.”
Nearly vomiting after reading this by a writer who did not vet Obama nor write about him in this manner,
I came home to Bill Moyer interviewing Obama supporting journalists who were criticizing the media including CNN for trating Palin like a celebrity, the mocking tones of the CNN anchors and their laughter was unbelievable. These “journalists” felt that the media should be highlighting the investigations of Palin. Well, where are the investigations of Obama? When is the media going to stop talking about Palin, and Hillary before her in such an insulting manner?
Looks like Kneel Steinberg is auditioning for the job of Obama’s Press Secretary.
Que? Anybody know any more about this? I’d go over to Wiki but that’s a snake pit run by Daily Kook kooks.
It’s bogus. It was entirely legal. The smearers always forget to mention that “home” at that point was 600 miles away from where she was working.
The per diem hotel/travel allowance is allowed to be used to travel home to be with family so long as it meets a certain distance requirement. It cost her no more to go home than it would have to stay at a hotel, so it was allowed.
Get out of the echo chamber people! This place is nuts!
Sarah Palin, an obvious joke and picked by John McCain for the shallowest of reasons, appearances and not judgment or experience, is a clear lapse of judgement on his part and a fatal mistake. Seems John McCain really would rather lose his integrity than lose an election.
He is losing both. The pushback against the unreality these two have attempted to foist on this country has begun and the whole sordid truth will be liberated before it’s done. That means for John McCain, it’s all down hill from here.
Sarah Palin is a dog that won’t hunt and all of the McCain campaign’s obvious attempts at innoculating her from the real world were for naught. LOL!
What a well-deserved disaster! Couldn’t happen to a sleazier bunch of goons.
Perhaps another brain-storming session with Karl Rove might help huh Johnny? lol
I guess you didn’t see her interview tonight with ABC where she nailed the economy in detailed and confident terms like I have never seen Obama do, and then moved on to earmarks and social issues.
Dream on. She’s here to stay, and she’s the real deal, unlike Obama.
funny you should say that. just ask donna brazile about karl rove - they’re actually good friends.
McCain/Palin ‘08
Boo-hoo boo-hoo. No echo chamber in here, twit. If you hear an echo yourself it’s because nobody agrees with you.
Be patient - in another four years you can vote too and you might even be an adult by then as well.
Bye.
Hey verg,
how many votes you think you flipped here for Obama through your well written post?
Right. ZERO. Just like Obama. A big ZERO.
Lets see if tomorrow Obama skips his skid on SNL.
Barack Obama uses his computer to play Halo video games, so he thinks that makes him qualified to run for Prez.
He also has a nice cell phone that vibrates.
He calls it his I-Pickle
LOL
Is that the same erect I-Pickle he paraded around in front of the women press on the O-Force One?
I’d link you to it to it but it’s nowhere to be found. Google search still brings it up but all links are to YouTube and it’s been removed. I’m guess Obammunist doesn’t want anyone seeing his tini-tiny I-Pickle *snicker*
LMAO!!! Barky’s I-pickle!
Marsha, take the following steps:
1. Place mouse over the website link at top of page by pressing with left click.
2. Press right click on mouse and “copy”.
3. Go to your email page.
4. Once you have entered all your email addresses on e-mail page place mouse over message box, press right click and enter “paste”. This will forward, this link (but it will include all the comments as well).

Tee-hee-hee…LOL
Wait why are we laughing? This election season has turned into Theater of the BIZZARE! Its like a really really bad Horror Film…really it is!
Or a circus. Sometimes it seems like Barky’s campaign is a PT Barnum production…so we may as well get all the amusement out of it that we can. Who knows what crazy thing will happen tomorrow!
Gee, why does it sound so eerily close to what Obama would actually say?
LOL….I really needed that…too funny…thanks Uncle Jerry….
LOL
Sick part is, I read that with that haughty Barack voice in my head.
From Jesus to Joke in 20 short months.
Now THAT’S a demotion! He must be competing with Keith (moron not murrow) Olbie and Tweety for the Demotion of the Year Award.
Palin really did get into his head.
He’s a flip-floper. From joke to Jesus and from Jesus to joke in only 20 months
Yeah they’re going to have to invent a new headache tablet for that. Hey they’re going to have to open thousands of Obama Deprogramming Stations across the nation too. I hope there’s money left to fund it all.
LMAO!!
Clarification:
#1 That is place mouse and move over link while pressing left click. The area that will be copied will be all blue.
Folks - if you examine the McCain Schmidt media team’s history on instant web videos, and look at the fact that Drudge is linking to the Boston Globe 2000 story which makes Obama look ridiculous, please be assured that a web ad or perhaps a tv ad is on the way pointing out Obama’s negative false attack. It’s like sending a fastball down the middle to Manny Ramirez on a 2-0 count. McCain’s people will hit this out of the park.
Hope so! (Liked the Manny metaphor)
Yes, I sent him the link this am to it. Not sure if he picked up on it then or before. Really doesn’t matter how he got it, the point being is we all need to be sending him things. He has millions of hits, world wide.
Since when does sending email rank as a presidential qualification? This ad is offensive and just plain stupid. Obama’s followers don’t seem to comprehend how to run a successful campaign. Thank goodness!
As a result of this absurd ad and a thousand other ridiculous ploys, the Democrats are getting exactly what they deserve in November: A DEFEAT!
MY DAD DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO USE A COMPUTER AND HE’S IN HIS MID SIXTIES, MY MOTHER, BROTHER AND i DON’T KNOW HOW TO STAY OFF OURS. THERE ARE AUTHORS THAT NEVER TYPE THEIR STUFF THEY WRITE THE WRITE IT OUT LONG HAND. OBAMA IS A PEICE OF WORK, HE’S AN INDIVIDUAL WHO THINKS IF YOU DON’T DO EVERYTHING LIKE HIM, SOMETHING MUST BE WRONG WITH YOU, THIS SHOULD SEND MOST PEOPLE RUNNING FOR THE HEELS. EVEN OUR MORON OF A PRESIDENT IS A LITTLE MORE EXCEPTING THAN OBAMA. hERE YOU HAVE A MAN WHO THINKS THERE ARE 58 STATES, AND IF THAT DONT’ BEAT ALL HIS FOREIGN POLICY ADVISOR BELIEVES WE CAN LEARN FOREIGN POLICY FROM WINNIE THE POOH. oBAMA NEEDS TO SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP. THIS ELECTION IS NOT GOING TO END WITH A BANG BUT WITH A WIMPER.
Blue, you’re wrong.The reason is that the MSM is so far in the tank for B.O. that they always gobble up any crap that is feed to them by B.O.’s camp. They have been on a crusade to crucify anyone who opposes
the “ONE”. Over 60% of the voters now believe that the MSM is doing exactly that. It won’t make any difference to the MSM what the results of “trooper-gate” prove to be. They will spin it to crucify Palin and to glorify B.O. And by the time the results are out and the MSM spin is put on it, much more than just 60% of the voters will know the game the MSM is playing.

I’d disagree on all counts
I apologize. i just couldnt resist.
Its really hard to find sites that are not veering to the partisan at this point. the is one of the most heated elections cycles in my memory.
I’ve never seen blogs like what you are describing. Would something like that exist? All the bloggers I’ve read are pretty passionate (or radical) one way or the other.
im trying to start a site if anyone is interested in posting.

I agree, I don’t think Backtrack Barry has any character even to find to apologize for this.
And in honor of Backtrack Barry’s deflating Campaign, I share this photo. I only wish I could post it HUGE ON THE SCREEN, but, the link will have to do. Enjoy.

OK, really funny.
And you know something? I bet Joe Biden knew right off the bat that this ad was a total f*uckup. I feel sorry for Biden. He took one for the democrat team by accepting the veep nom, and had any of the nasty folks in the Obama campaign consulted with him, this ad never would have been made.
Or if they had run it by him before finalizing the ad purchase, it never would have gotten on the air. Biden and McCain have been friends for over 20 years…pretty good friends. He must be just beside himself right now.
Also, the Biden joke about Sarah Palin’s being attractive was kinda funny…he said it was a big area where she is different from him.
And his statement that Hillary is qualified for veep or POTUS was in answer to a question/rant against Hillary at a town hall/campaign appearance.
Chin up, Senator Biden. Less than 2 months to go, and then you can return to the Senate.
Why do you think Biden is trying so hard to get out this? When he said Hillary might have been a better pick, I expected his next words to be: So please Hillary, take this job! Join the captain and crew of the good ship Titanic.
If this unbelievable ad is an example of what Obama is calling his “experience running a campaign” I wonder what he’ll call LOSING AN ELECTION.
That sure is precious. Thanks for the laugh of the week.
OMG SO WORTH THE CLICK!!!!
BEST CARTOON OF THE WEEK!!!!
HAHAHA
You MUST CLICK IT PEOPLE!!!
glad you enjoyed!

Thanks!
The best ad of the year is this honest reaction from an Iraq War Veteran who doesn’t like
his service or the sacrifice of his friends lives being called a mistake.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TG4fe9GlWS8
That is indeed one of the best ads of the entire campaign.
Has the McCain camp issued any kind of response to this ad?
p.s. who cares if he can use email? His staff can do that, he is making strategic decisions. I could care less. Obama thinks he can use his blackberry for everything and doesn’t bother to show up. McCain shows up.

A name change to J. Wellington Wimpy Hope Floats, perhaps?
This old white middle class woman knows what to do with her keyboard, type http://www.johnmccain.com into the address bar and click the “contribute” button.
I have lately begun to send money to McCain-even though my husband is the real Repub. in this house. I do compalin just a bit, “Please hit up my husband,Mac, will you”. I’ve received two requests from McCain this week, not to mention the two I’ve received from Barky-which I stuffed with Hillary and PUMA copy (7oz.)
Not only have I sent McCain/Palin money (the first time I ever donated to a Republican campaign), but I’ve convinced 3 of my family members and 4 of friends to donate. All 7 individuals are Democrats.
I’ve used some of the information from this website to help expose Obama’s background.
Thank you to everyone who has provided information with references. It has made convincing people not to vote for Obama much easier.
Quote for Obama:
”Life’s tough…..it’s even tougher if you’re stupid.”
– John Wayne
lol EXCELLENT!
Not John Wayne.
That was Robert Mitchum’s line in “The Friends of Eddie Coyle”–a little gem of a film from many decades back:
Life’s hard. It’s even harder when you’re stupid.

Mean people suck.
Trying to remember about McCain’s 2000 online campaign finding some articles…
“Though some had envisioned that the Internet might supplant old media such as newspapers, radio and television, Bimber and Davis found in 2000 that old media and new media were working in complementary ways. Senator John McCain’s campaign was a good example.
McCain earned a lot of coverage in the old media when he defeated George Bush in the New Hampshire primary, Bimber said. The heavy coverage was followed by a flood of $1.5 million in contributions in just three days via the McCain Web site. McCain’s campaign staff convinced reporters that the sudden bonanza of contributions was in itself big news, which earned McCain more time and space in the mainstream media.
“The success of former Vermont governor Howard Dean this year very much echoes what happened with McCain and Bradley last time around, though Dean has benefited even more from online campaigning,” Bimber said.”

McCain was using the internet before Obama… in 2000 wasn’t Obama in diapers?
Obama is probably wearing extra heavy weight diapers since Palin became part of the Republican ticket.
When did Obama stop using cocaine again?
good work, morganjane
Thanks! I just googled it, I guess Team BHO haven’t figured that trick out yet.
Noq these votes!:-)

America needs to know the depths to which Obama has sunk.
Thanks!
A few more comments from the Obama blog about the ads today:
1. The, stick with the elitists’ vote (or don’t worry about pissing off dumb white trash who don’t have computers) advice:
” do you ‘honestly’ believe those folks that do NOT use a computer will actually be inclined to vote for BARACK??? i mean, really!!! this is one thing that i think BARACK has to realize…he cannot be all things to all people. it just does not work like that IMHO. he’s got to be himself, present who he really is, present his policies, and let people judge and vote.”
2. The, holy crap we need Clinton help response (no comment on the ad being offensive):
“Rollo out ads that end with a Bill Clinton and Obama together with Clinton endorsing him.
And as I said earlier, SHOW NO MERCY or we could lose this election!”
“ALSO, BRING HILLARY BACK!!!! WHERE IS SHE??? VOTERS NEED TO FEEL THAT SHE IS STILL WITH THE CAMPAIGN, TOGETHER WITH BIDEN!!!”
3. The, holy crap, we haven’t realized that our own strategy was using celebrity over substance and it has backfired, they have celebrity and a person that regular folks like, we better come up with some issues:
“It further appears that most of the undecided voters in this historic election year have completely lost their focus on the issues, education and economy, which should be foremost on any political agenda but rather the voters are leaning towards the party who can best entertain them!”
Screw em!
Did they forget all the
DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD!
WE DONT NEED YOU!!
HALLELUJIAH THE CLINTON REIGN IS OVER!!
bullshit?
OMG
NO WAY
NO HOW
NO OBAMA
NOT TODAY
NOT TOMORROW
NOT EVER
Bill Clinton doesn’t use email either.
If they think Bill and Hillary are going to come out to defend this trash they have another thing coming.
I hope.
In other words: what’s wrong with THEM??????
And you wonder why Obama is sinking… oh yeah, we are talking about Obama. Never mind.
Oh, I forgot this whopper. Even after finding out about the sleaziness of this ad, the recommendation is:
“Obama should have a major speech on the subject of gutter politics. It will shame McCain and his amoral adviser Shcmidt (not that they will stop)
But the news media will pick it up and talk about it for 3 days straight, burying Palin and putting everyone on notice to elevate the discourse.
Obama has always risen to the challenge and inspired us to greater heights with his wisdom and eloquence. he will again here.”

I think that about says it all about the devout followers of Senator Obama.
HAHAHAHA
OMG HAHAHAHAHA
I couldn’t write a more sardonic response if you tried!
Hilarious!!! This is almost as funny as the day Barky, the agent of “Change” announced Biden as his vp. I remember the obots were amazed by Barkys brilliance in picking Senator Credit Card, and they droned on & on about it for days.
Oh good christ. Those people are unbelievable.
The few decisions that Sen Obama has made really make me question his values and integrity.
This ad is reprehensible.Sen McCain’s physical handicap is under a campaign challenge?
WHat…are they going to go after Gov Palin’s baby boy because he has Downs Syndrome next?
Sen Obama’s campaign tactics and his position on the live birth abortion ban R E A L L Y gives me some insight into his personal values and ethics…
Here is recap of Live Birth ABortion Ban.
The Live Birth Abortion ban deals ONLY with LIVE BIRTHS- babies that are out of the uterus…and Sen Obama rejected this ban why???
Roe Vs Wade deals with a woman’s body-her uterus. Once a baby leaves the womb-the Live Birth Abortion Ban says “HANDS OFF THIS baby-it is now a person-no one has a right to KILL this person.
Sen Obama disagreed with this.
Freddoso’s book discusses this in detail. PLEASE LEARN THE TRUTH ABOUT HIS POSITION ON THIS
Read about the book that Sen Obama and his campaign DO NOT WANT YOU TO READ…
The media is completely silent about this book-(See below)
The Case Against Barack Obama: The Unlikely Rise and Unexamined Agenda of the Media’s Favorite Candidate (Hardcover)

An interview with Mr Freddoso…

We are the sum of all our decisions-our decisions and actions form our value system. What does this say about Sen Obama. What kind of a human being is he?
I am so sick of Ofraudoffraudsa! That freeak is 100% mentally disabled and should not be allowed to go anywhere, but a mental institution or jail or both!
The McCain campaign should fire back with an ad that simply has Cindy McCain giving a brief explanation that John does indeed use email, but thanks to the torture he sustained for five years living in a hell hole that he is barely able to type due to discomfort — so she does this for him. Make them eat their words.
I doubt that John McCain would use a woman to answer for him.
this is like Joe Biden encouraging a handicapped, wheelchair bound Chuck Graham to stand up for a crowd.
No, it’s not. Biden didn’t know, and didn’t put out an ad saying that Mr. Graham wasn’t qualified for his job because of his handicap.
Tying the two together lets Obama and his ad team off the hook, IMHO.
Look at the MI polls…Rasmussen is stronger for Obama in LV polls pretty much across the board than other organizations. I read somewhere that he does a weird thing where he tries to weight results by party, but he uses old numbers with inflated representation for self-proclaimed democrats.
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/mi/michigan_mccain_vs_obama-553.html
I have no idea if the organization that has McCain at +1 is a good one or not, but it does look like Obama’s gonna have to spend time and money in some states he probably thought would go his way automatically.
I am speechless.
Obama: you are nothing but a cruel, heartless, ruthless sociopath.
Oh, BTW, prisons are FULL of sociopaths.
Reveal your TRUE SELF for a “change.”
It’s the only “HOPE” left for you.
Obama, you are a RUDE, DISGUSTING, DEPLORABLE person. But, what you have done along with the filth & lies spewing from your mouth will eventually come full circle to HAUNT you.
YOU have THAT to look forward to! NONE OF US is INVOLVED with this because YOU DID IT ALL TO YOURSELF!
Ask Lee Atwater for his opinion on that subject, why don’t you, Mr. Obama?
GROW UP, Mr. CLUELESS.
I can’t stand that voice. Obama’s. Gives me the creeps. Something like what having Sauron breathe on you must be like.
A lot of people are finding that they’re having that very same reaction to Palin’s bray.
Her Whiny Vacuousness, and her voice, are beginning to sound like trouble.
It’s fascinating watching her self-destruct though.
Dream on and drink some more.
LOL Where do you watch this? Through the anamorphic lenses at Daily Kook TV? LMAO
A lot of personal computer systems come with voice recognition. You don’t have to use either a keyboard or a mouse for a lot of the functionality. McCain could do things that way. He could at least learn what’s going on. Better still he could come out and tell people he already does know what’s going on.
BTW I’ve always suspected Obam
