Out, out Damned Spot!!

[SusaUnPC's note: I'm so glad Lisa found this key interview with McCain. This has become a monster story on the Internet. Memeorandum.com is tracking the huge number of posts. So far, I see no indication, however, that the MSM is doing its job. See also my story last night, "The Obama Campaign May Have Finished Itself Off Permanently -- Through Utter Cruelty [Update]” with the video of the actual ad. Later today, Uppity Woman is publishing a new story on this same topic.]
……………………………………………………………………………
By now you’ve probably heard about the newest Obama ad - the one criticizing John McCain for not knowing how to use email.
Of course, John McCain can’t use a keyboard. The injuries he sustained as a POW that caused permanent damage to his arms prevent him from typing. But I have no doubt in this age of nearly instant communications he knows what an email is.
In an interview with the NYT wwwaaaaaayyyyyyy back on July 13, John McCain was asked about his ‘net use.
Read the rest ->
Q: What websites if any do you look at regularly?
Mr. McCain: Brooke and Mark show me Drudge, obviously, everybody watches, for better or for worse, Drudge. Sometimes I look at Politico. Sometimes RealPolitics, sometimes.
(Mrs. McCain and Ms. Buchanan both interject: “Meagan’s blog!”)
Mr. McCain: Excuse me, Meagan’s blog. And we also look at the blogs from Michael and from you that may not be in the newspaper, that are just part of your blog.
Q: But do you go on line for yourself?
Mr. McCain: They go on for me. I am learning to get online myself, and I will have that down fairly soon, getting on myself. 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 – including going to my daughter’s blog first, before anything else.
Q: Do you use a blackberry or email?
Mr. McCain: No
Mark Salter: He uses a BlackBerry, just ours.
Mr. McCain: I use the Blackberry, but I don’t e-mail, I’ve never felt the particular need to e-mail. I read e-mails all the time, but the communications that I have with my friends and staff are oral and done with my cell phone. I have the luxury of being in contact with them literally all the time. We now have a phone on the plane that is usable on the plane, so I just never really felt a need to do it. But I do – could I just say, really – I understand the impact of blogs on American politics today and political campaigns. I understand that. And I understand that something appears on one blog, can ricochet all around and get into the evening news, the front page of The New York Times. So, I do pay attention to the blogs. And I am not in any way unappreciative of the impact that they have on entire campaigns and world opinion.
Sounds to me like a person who is well aware of the ‘net, email, blogs and texting. He does have people to filter for him and so doesn’t spend quite the time I do on the computer. You know, he may be better off, I’ve got friends who refuse to use email anymore because of all the spam and the sheer volume of messages.
OK, so what do we have? Well, the Obama ad is in poor taste since McCain’s physical issues are entirely the result of his time serving his country. The ad also implies McCain is woefully out of touch on technology issues.
That’s demonstrably false, as the interview shows. McCain is well aware of what is out there even if he doesn’t manipulate the mouse himself. Does that mean McCain understands all aspects of technology? As if. Who does? I’m still trying to wrap my mind around the idea of a virtual machine, although I do get the whole nanotechnology thing.
Uh, anyone really understand Windows????
As far as this Obama ad goes, I think it’s the worst he’s done. It’s false and insulting to imply older people and those with injuries are “out of touch” if they can’t manipulate a keyboard. But the biggest indictment I can give is it is simply lame, lame, lame and weak.
Besides, how does Obama propose to understand the military, if he’s never fired an M16? How can he understand women if he’s never been to the gynecologist? How can he understand the “low information” voter if he’s never tipped a can of Bud while swigging some Jack Daniels?
Think that’s ridiculous? Well, so is the “never used email” ad.
Know what that orange place and the Huffypot had to say about this ad and its direct and implied lies?
crickets. . . .

So Obama got it WRONG AGAIN.
“Well….uuh….uuuh…IT WAS MY STAFF! And…uh…uh…that’s not the commercial I knew.”
I thought his management of such a large enterprise was more experience than running a small town or small state.
Like he used again the other day.”this is silly season” OMG barf. What grown man uses the term “silly season”
one silly thing he is
Am I the only one who remembers him using “silly” in a debate? . . . I thought it was insulting to Hillary. I take it as an example of his sexism . . . just try to picture him saying some concern John Edwards had brought up was “silly” . . . I believe in this case it also came up in a discussion that touched on Sarah Palin . . .
Correct me if I’m wrong.
If Obama was a floor mat, I wouldn’t even brush my feet on him.
I would with golf shoes on.
I would - wearing stiletto heels, and holding my stuffed animal piggy Oinkbarky.
That is what happens when you let children screw around on the computers. No supervision. Always remember, he stated “I approve this message.”
Meghan McCain needs to spend less time
on the campaign trail and more time with
Jenny Craig and Lucille Roberts.
[ADMINISTRATOR: THIS IS A CRUEL COMMENT WITHOUT ANY MERIT. YOU ARE BANNED FOR THIS AND NUMEROUS OTHER WORTHLESS, UGLY COMMENTS.]
And that has what to do with politcs? GO AWY troll!!
When Ohitler gets busted the trolls drop poop here as a diversion.
Meghan McCain also has a drinking problem.
Her fridge is stocked with beer.
http://men.style.com/gq/blogs/gqeditors/2008/03/caps-font-var-1.html
From the article:
“She leads me into the kitchen. On a perch above the cabinets, wooden block letters are arranged to spell indulge. Meghan then invites me to inspect her refrigerator, like the celebrities do on MTV Cribs. Inside are some Bud Light cans, a six-pack of Stella Artois, and twelve cups of Jell-O pudding.”
Sad to see this. One must wonder what kind of parents John and Cindy really are.
[ADMINISTRATOR: CONSIDERING THE TRIPE YOU POSTED ABOVE, YOU SHOULD WRITE FOR "US" MAGAZINE. BUT YOU'RE NOT GOING TO WRITE HERE ANYMORE.]
At least she doesn’t hang around with former terrorists.
Nor does Obama. But McCain hangs around
with Terrorist Henry Kissinger.
Kissinger the terrorist, huh? Cute. Very cute.
We all know that Barry Hussein likes to hang around with former domestic terrorists (he said on O’Reilly he hasn’t seen Ayers in a year and a half). We also know that he enjoys the company of former members of the PLO and former friends and bagmen of Saddam.
Sometimes I wish people like you would just move out of our fucking country. Everyone would be better off and you would be happier in a Euro socialist paradise. I heard Georgia is beautiful this time of the year. You could see how the real world operates for a change.
And leave the kids out of it. So Meagan Mac likes to throw back a few beers — she’s 22. I know I enjoyed a few when I was 22. All this shows is that you are a prepubescent teen typing on mommy and daddy’s computer. Get some homework done you twerp!
No he hangs with Mika’s Dad!
Obama has/had Zbigniew Brzezinski on his team.
According to the book America’s Half-Century, Brzezinski and Kissinger were both proteges of David Rockerfeller. Kissinger and Brzezinski have very similar world views, which the neocons dislike.
Brzezinski gave George H.W. Bush a solid B for his “global leadership” skills, while giving Bill Clinton an uneven C.
Last February, Brzezinski went to Syria and met with President Assad. This occurred at the same time a terrorist mastermind harbored by the Baathist regime in Damscus was assassinated by a car boom.
Why did Obama send his foreign policy counselor (Brzezinski), a long-time critic of Israel, to Syria at that time AND during a presidential campaign?
McCain should be questioning why Obama sent his campaign representative to one of America’s (and Israel’s) most hostile countries.
And Obama is advised by Ziggy Brzezinski, do you remember him, he helped Jimmy Carter surrender to Iran and let Iran kick sand in the face of every American
It’s the Jello that worries me.
haha! Actually, I think it said Jello pudding. Hey it was good enough for Bill Cosby!
Beer and Pudding, sounds good to me! Betch most Americans can relate to Bud and Jello in the refrig. Let’s take a look into the Obama refrigerator shall we- hmmm arugula, French wine, some kinda fru-fru organic ice tea, tofu hot dogs for the kids- barf! Oh look, MEchelle put a coupon on the fridge- “10 Cents off free range chicken at Whole Foods”.
You forgot the Kool Filter Kings.
Ciggies stay fresher in the fridge.
(former smoker here)
Hey, I’m a vegetarian, and I vote! (but not for Obama)
gee … beer in her refrigerator. imagine that. Her family owns a BEER DISTRIBUTORSHIP …. are you always this stupid or do you go to extra efforts when you come here???
OMG, I’ve got a six pack of Tecate in my fridge!
I didn’t know I had a drinking problem, I though it was there should anyone drop by. How could I have been so deluded?
Oh wait, I’m not the one who’s deluded.
I would rather sit with Meghan McCain and indulge & swig a beer
than with MEchele Obama in that hate spweing chrurch..
Lets all drink to that right! I will be grabbing a bud light and drink to that.
Yeah that is very bad.
She’s missing the two other major food groups, pizza and chocolate.
Hey, I’d rather have a beer than a kool-aid!
Why do you say that?
This type of comment is so typical of Obama supporters. I used to think that Bush’s supporters were bad, but Obama supporters have outdone themselves in getting down lower than the belly of a snake.
lower than whale s— on the bottom of the ocean.
It’s the “Mean Girls” mentality. My kids grew up in this “younger” generation and they are young in more ways than one. They are juvenile and childish and just plain MEAN. Don’t care about anyone but themselves, think other people should give them whatever they want because–they want it!
They view the election as a video game they MUST win.
What happens when they lose?
I saw a poll on the Texas Hill Country Blog.
Obama’s AA support in Nevada is very soft, and in Ohio it’s not as strong as one would expect.
If the AAs are abandoning Obama, then look out below!
They will abandon him when they find out about him on issues. Obama’s education plan to pay teachers based on merit pay is the same as John McCains. I doubt the teacher’s unions have figured this out.
Obama supporters are why I’m voting for McCain.
He has to be the scum of the earth to attract these hateful pieces of crap.
That’s one of the factors, others are:
-race baiting
-misogyny
-sexism
-ageism
-intolerance
-thuggishness
-vulgarity
-psychopathy
-sociopathy
-stealing (as in primary season)
-corruption
-fear mongering
-faux elitism
-celebrity seeking
-arrogance
-lying
-media bias
-and plain old bull shit
It is now a badge of honor to NEVER have supported Obama.
or, she could do what barko does: crack-cocaine.
I am sure that you are perfect in every way. Your family must be very proud.
Screw you Obot! First off, she is a beautiful and self-assured young woman. Second, my hat is off to Cindy McCain who obviously raised TWO daughters in this culture that eats girls alive over physical appearances to be secure with themselves. It’s whats on the inside that matters- brains, a personality, a soul. Not if you can fit into size zero jeans. You’re an idiot- Go away!
Cindy McCain is nothing to be proud of.
Now Michelle Obama, she is the Mother of every year.
You are such a fool Obot. Cindy McCain’s humanitarian work makes MEchelle look like a selfish, vile, hating…oh wait…we don’t need to compare her to Cindy McCain. MEchelle paints the picture all by herself, no contrast needed.
The KoolAde seems to have tetrahydrocannabinol in it.
no, Cindy isn’t the mother of the year….you are the MUTHA!
Cindy McCain is beautiful and MEchelle is a typical…well you get the idea.
Cindy McCain is a beautiful classy mother who has given her time & money to charities. She has helped many disabled children around the world get medical help.
What has Michelle done? Preached white hate & said she was never proud of her country till her husband ran for president. Took her children to a church & let them listen to hate rants by Wright. The Obama’s have done nothing for this country except TAKE.
Michelle Obama should be charged with child abuse for taking her kids to that hate-filled church for 20 years.
Take your rose color glasses off, put the koolaid down, and step away from the keyboard. Yuur monikor says both where you came from and where you should go back to. The orange sewer is surely where you belong.
Or are you the hateful Bob Johnson of Kos, finally having removed your mask?
Anyone who thinks MO should be mother of the year must have grown up in a barn or a ghetto!!!
You are stupid, unfortunately.
So now they’re insulting overweight people too.. By Nov. 4 There’s not going to be one group in America that was not stepped on by the Obama campeign. I’m thinking of a bumper sticker for my car: I WAS INSULTED BY BARACK OBAMA AND I VOTE.
LOL, Garden variety. He has insulted a lot of demographic groups, hasn’t he? But I wouldn’t put that on your car; An Obamabot might key it. :^(
Right, but the Obots can be so proud that they stood by their lame, corrupt man.
Hmmm, showing your love for women again. It’s not wonder women hate you and your empty suit messiah.
All Obama got that was right as to his mindset, was WRIGHT.
More important than being able to send e-mail via keyboard (the ad shows a keyboard and not voice-recognition),is the ability to conduct effective research on the internet.
Had the O campaign done an adequate job of internet research, they would have seen the Boston Globe article from 2000 showing that Mac cannot perform certain tasks.
The above points to a lack of attention-to-detail and sloppy research on the part of O people.
Thank God they are not in the White House.
MG
This is more than just sloppy research — this is callous disregard. Obama and his campaign staff would have to be abject morons, and/or legally blind, not to see that when Senator McCain gestures or shakes hands that he has difficulty moving his arms.
They SHOULD know, out of simple respect for an opponent, or at least an attempt to understand their opponent, that McCain’s arms were broken repeatedly in captivity.
Keep it up, Senator Obama. How nice that we are seeing the real you.
The media may continue to enable him, but the voters won’t. Anyone seeing these kinds of ads with a shred of decency or common sense will see that he is not fit to lead our country. Leadership requires more than confidence, it requires humility and a regard and respect for others — especially those one purports to wish to serve.
Obama wishes to serve himself from what I can see.
This is leadership? To make fun of people with a physical disability? How do you think that is going to go over? That’s Obama’s way, apparently — belittle, insult and deride anyone who is not on board your particular train.
Truly, there is no excuse for this.
So how does he use his gold-plated Dolce & Gabanna Motorola Razr phone? I used to sell cell phones, and when older customers who had trouble using their hands came in, the Razr was at the top of my list of phones for them to avoid.
No, the story of John McCain not being able to use a keyboard is just that: a story. A nice way to get the people who will believe anything negative about Barack Obama really upset.
What will you do when your Mothership loses?
My…wha?
Oh dear, NoQuarter has finally jumped the shark from nonsensical analysis to gibbering idiocy. I knew it was coming, but I had hoped that it would at least provide a few more weeks of schadenfreude for me.
I think Danielle was referring to Louie Farrakhan’s
Space Odyssey
The Obamas heart Louie Farrakhan.
Ash, your ignorance is showing. I had what is called a frozen shoulder once and I can attest that while it’s not impossible to use a phone or computer is extremely painful for any length of time. The phone is actually easier because you bend at the elbow and your arm can stay at your side without the movement of your shoulder. However, I assure you that even that after a minute or two is painful as well. Grow up ash!
I had a Moto Razr, you were selling them older folks the cool phone of “the moment”. Easier to use, no. Easier to see, yes. McCain has ‘USE’ issue not ‘SIGHT’ issue.
Well since McCain’s inability to use a keyboard due to his war injuries was pointed out in an article published EIGHT YEARS AGO, he must have been planning this fiendish attack on Barack Obama while BO was still an unknown Illinois state senator.
My God, McCain IS a genius!!
And, um, doesn’t Obama theoretically work with John McCain? If he’d actually spent any time at all at work wouldn’t he have seen McCain dictating to aides who can type, and then perhaps have realized that McCain doesn’t have good mobility in his fingers?
I think the Forbes article from 2000 is worse for the Obama campaign than the NY Times one.
Here’s a digg link with 2 funny comments:
http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/Forbes_on_McCain_s_Pioneering_Net_Campaigning_in_2000
epic fail!
I sent Hannity this link. Everyone, keep pushing this one…Ofraud is just plain stupid.
Wow! I did too this very minute! Someone in the MSM needs to run with this story and we know that it won’t be CNN and MSNBC.
I hope that this laying low of the McCain campaign is part of their strategy. Let Barky spew for another week and then “dump” on him going into the first debate. Let Barky be on defense right before the debate.
The latest RCP Electoral (or as I call it “Electrical”)has McCain 10+.
No, Obama doesn’t work, he campaigns.
He won’t know what the hell to do if he somehow gets elected.
He’ll go on vacation! In between his dinner parties with Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright.
lol!
as you noted: “epic fail”
and in the article: “Obama: Fail I can believe in”
McCain shows good judgement not relying on e-mail communications. I guess the Bots discovered this when they hacked/searched and found nothing from McCain to use against him. Ha! ha! They forgot, or never even thought that the whole creation came about through the spoken word–not e-mail!
The ad mocking McCain and his inability to type is stupid and callous.
And Joe Biden ask a man in a Wheelechair to stand up. This is not even funny anymore, it’s sad!
well it was a stupid thing to say anyway. Everyone is not attached to their blackberry’s and e-mail.
There are many Americans who cannot navigate a keyboard due to disabilities. That doesn’t mean they are unaware of the technology. My own spouse, who never learned to type efficiently, still uses the “hunt and peck” system but refuses to use the internet or retrieve emails to us. Does that make them stupid? No.
Perhaps our veterans who have similar disabilities with their hands should make an ad showing those disabilities saying “I can’t retrieve an email, Senator Obama. Does that make me stupid?” My handicapped sister felt it was a great acheivement when she finally mastered the art of just being able to turn a page of a book. Is she stupid? Out of touch? Behind the times?
Maybe Obama can retrieve an email. Good for him. But can he fly a fighter jet?
No, but judging by McCain’s flight record, neither could he.
jerk. you must be what, all of 12 years old?
Thankfully, ingrates like you do not make up the majority of Americans.
There are many Americans–many of them Obama’s “people”–who can’t afford Blackberries and laptops. But when you’re an arugula-eating, jet-setting elitist you don’t realize that because you don’t know any people like that.
You know this whole CLASS WARFARE thingy is….GETTIN OLD!
no, it’s much worse - A Culture War.
I think it’s just getting started.
Well look what the Obama campaign did today: more personal attacks from Ozero and Ozero’s partner in crime, Bill Burton.
Whenever I hear or read a quote from Obama spokesman Bill Burton, I think of Billy Martin losing his cool and kicking dirt all over home plate.
LOL!
Bill Burton - the Billy Martin of the Obama campaign.
Obama’s support is dropping in the swing states and now he is going with an all out attack against John McCain. The statements from the Obama campaign this morning are nothing but personal attacks.
D E S P E R A T E
They are losing their cool over at the Obama campaign. Bill Burton especially. Bill Burton is the Billy Martin of campaign sp
The McCain campaign responded with a partisan attack of their own, issuing a statement to reporters saying that the Manchester speech marks “a new low for Barack Obama.”
“It says a lot about Barack Obama’s judgment that while his campaign canceled his appearance on Saturday Night Live and his running mate stayed home, Obama went ahead and delivered a series of scathing personal attacks,” spokesman Tucker Bounds said in a statement.
Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin would press a positive message during a rally Saturday afternoon in Carson City, Nev., Bounds said.
The Obama campaign dismissed the criticism.
“We will take no lectures from John McCain who is cynically running the sleaziest and least honorable campaign in modern Presidential campaign history,” Obama spokesman Bill Burton said in a statement. “His discredited ads with disgusting lies are running all over the country today. He runs a campaign not worthy of the office his is seeking.”
The sound of DESPERATION in Billy “Martin” Burton’s words are deafening.
Glad to see McCain-Palin taking the high road.
McCain-Palin are running to help America.
Obama is running to help himself.
McCain-Palin ‘08
Hillary ‘12
Superlatives. Obama specializes in exaggerated, dishonest, superlatives. “the sleaziest campaing in history” Bwhahahaha! You already got the award for that, Barky!
wow. they are voicing their own campaign! McCain’s ads have been accurate and clearly better in caliber and message than Obama-Soetoro!
Its total implosion, they are out of control–great description of the Billy Martin of the Obama campaign–dirt flying everywhere.
What is needed is a campaign staff shake up, if Obama has any chance. I think he is owned by his chicago gang, tho, so how can he shake it up? Kick Biden out? That would be stupid.
Is the DNC creating an out for him to step down, or have they lost control of the party and the candidate?
Or honestly, is this the goal revealed: to implode and take the whole democratic party down? If so, the mole is Brazile, and she has executed Rove’s plan.
How would a Senator be expected to keep up with a computer anyway? They spend their day either in committe or the chamber or in other meetings.
it would be impossible for any of them to personnally manage their affairs on a computer, they would never have time
Yes they hire people to do that kind of stuff…and McCain pays the women HE hires more than the men.
He’s not Mark Foley.LoL
Here’s the link to the article I just posted about:
Obama continues offensive despite Ike
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0908/13419.html
Whine, whine, whine. That is all Obama knows how to do. You think he would get sick of himself.
and you think this helps Obama win votes campaigning and attacking when there is a natural diaster, and possibly death, in Texas?
all righty then.
Sad to see that Barack Obama has such little sympathy for a true American patriot and war hero like John McCain. Senator Obama obviously has contempt for the elderly and no compassion for a man who attained lifelong injuries as a result of fighting for his country’s HONOR.
This ad needs to be exposed and sent out to FOX and derided for the obvious insensitivity and derision it serves up toward John McCain.
Shame on Barack Obama, a candidate whom I once supported, and shame on his campaign for putting out this ad. It’s ads like this that confirm my resolution to cross party lines and vote as a Democrat for John McCain and Sarah Palin.
this is indicative of Obama’s overall lack of compassion as well as his supporters. It will do my heart good when I see McCain and Palin sworn in as our next President and Vice President!
Patriot? Hero? John McCain is a guy who can be counted on to put John McCain first, whether by his failing to taxi his plane into the ocean on the USS Forrestal, causing the deaths of 134 sailors, or by earning the nickname “Songbird” during his time as a POW, or by virtually everything about his political career.
John McCain loves John McCain. He doesn’t really care about anything else.
How much does nobomba pay the idiots like ash mcg…
Man, I wish I got paid. I kind of wish I was an idiot, too. Then I wouldn’t be so concerned about an out of control, raging lunatic like John “Songbird” McCain and his trusty sidekick Liar McRaptureson being in the White House.
You could always apply for work-release at your correctional facility.
You know, I spent a little bit of time considering how I would respond to this particular semi-literate, drooling post.
And then I decided that semi-literate and drooling was a good word to describe this blog as a whole.
Congratulations, NoQuarter! You’ve officially become so stupid you have ceased to amuse me. Before, the stupidity displayed by this community was that of a group of people who have brains but simply choose not to use them. Now that dubious distinction has gone, and what you have here is RedState without the tact, Free Republic without the smarts, Pat Buchanan without the foreign policy.
May God have mercy on your souls.
yawn. so go shit in someone else’s nest then, if you’re not “amused” anymore here. good riddance, you’re only stinking up the place.
I’m not amused with your crassness in the face of your candidate’s uninformed, cruel, insulting attacks on disabled americans, american veterans who’ve been wounded, older people, and anyone else that doesn’t use these tools.
You are ignorant and don’t even earn the right to be called a smart ass. you are ignorant.
Ash, no need to wish, you are an idiot. Just look at who you support.
Hey ass, I mean ash, You and your terrorist loving Idol are a waste of the air you suck up. Hateful, unpatriotic people like you and Obama are undeserving of the freedom that heroes like John McCain have given you. Thankfully this country has had men like John McCain, willing to fight and die for their love of this country.
Sorry, hateful? Can we see hateful? Not there, you say. Just making it up? Huh.
John McCain isn’t a hero. He’s a self-serving bastard. And that part reminds me a lot of the character Walter from The Big Lebowski, insisting that Vietnam was somehow a war fought to protect my freedom. That’s neither here nor there. I honor men like my father and John Kerry who served their country honorably. I don’t honor people like John McCain whose only use for the military was his own ego, whose negligence was responsible for the deaths over 134 of his shipmates.
oh, I get it. you’re scared to death. Good. You should be because your idiot plastic jesus is going to lose.
self serving is the word I would use to describe obama.
you betray your ignorance with your remarks, you sure you want to keep embarassing yourself? Blame McCain for the vietnam war? You really are stupid.
you must be one of those unpaid bots trying out to be a paid one. Well consider this:
EPIC FAIL.
You’re a babbling fool and probably a coward just like Obama.
I kind of wish I was an idiot, too YOU idiot..
Ash McG You must be the only one who does not agree with the above!!
Ash McG loves Ash McG and his MESSiah . He/she doesn’t really care about anything else.
Ash, do the Republicans pay you to help lose votes for Obama? Anyone who supported Obama would never make these attacks because they only help McCain. Same thing with Palin, the Obot attacks only serve to make her stronger. If I was a conspiracy theorist I’d think that your checks are signed by Rove.
Just wondering….
I wonder if Obama would have run adverts against FDR saying “How can he run this country? He can’t even walk down the street…”
Has the MSM picked up on this at all? I saw the ad yesterday - which I should mention looked to me like an attack on his age, with the dopey music and 80s images - and then read more about McCain’s injuries and web use this morning. Maybe I’m naive, but I thought this might be what ends his campaign, sort of like George Allen’s “Macaca” moment.
“I wonder if Obama would have run adverts against FDR saying “How can he run this country? He can’t even walk down the street…””
Excellent correlation, Tristan…
MG
Or the Dean Scream~~
Really good points, LisaB.
The ad seemed “boneheaded” to me, too, for this reason:
the people who would think it’s cool to paint McCain as a Neanderthal about the net and email are ALREADY voting for him; the people he needs to reach, by a good margin, could be insulted.
Lately it seems that BO’s speeches and off-the-cuff “pig” remarks are directed only to the adoring masses. McCain seems like he is spending more time addressing the people who are still on the fence or in the middle.
And the ad is a boon for McCain now that the meme will be all over the net about how he insulted McCain. HA!
buh bye osama hussein. adios. go back to the hell hole you slithered out of. everytime i see osama i physically feel my stomach turn. he is just a disgusting human being. he is so gross.
What do you expect from people who began their campaign by cheating–and cheating their own people, no less?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyrMS6MBuSg
The McCains will probably send more money to help the victims of the storm but Obama will send just another package of lies.
or am email like he sent to PA on 9/11
Even ardent Democrat Mark Shields had to admit on Lehrer’s show that the computer ad was politically dumb because it insults many of the unconvinced voters that Obama is trying to reach. And some want this guy to run the country????
Obama thinks that the people who are not voting for him don’t matter. He should keep on thinking that … right up to the time that the ‘people who don’t matter’ put McCain/Palin into the Oval Office.
right he wants to be CIC and how will he greet the injured heros who arrive home after Iraq…
Send them a movie rubbing salt into the wound just to let them know how me feels?
This “one” is such a fool
Time for Palin to do a press conference about the way Obama is disrespectful of an American war hero who was tortured by the enemy to the point that he can’t lift his arms to type.
Speaking of torture, I sure wish this election were over today. McCain’s ahead.
She needs to get the whole interview from ABC and release it…so America can see how they edited her answers….
Now if we can only find a war hero he was disrespectful to…
There you go Ash, babbling again. Please wipe the drool from your mouth.
If McCain is so bad, why did John Kerry want him as a running mate in ‘04?
I see a hate filled dem is trying to poop on this site, just scroll on by…
I learned a lot about Cindy lately, wow she has helped so many people all over the world….they have a wonder family…
McCain/Palin what America needs!
that video about Cindy during the convention was so informative. Instead of staying at home and sipping tea with her rich friends, she went around the world and helped people and children in need. While watching this, all I could think about was Meeeechelle saying how our souls are broken and needs to be healed. Oh, lordie.
Make no mistake. The Obamas intend to take this country and hand it to their own race. They rule supreme just as the evangelical christians wanted when Bush got in.
Michelle is the one who needs some healing but I doubt there would be a cure for the kind of hate & radical beliefs within her soul.
Been thinking about Washington state today.
Just looked at a congressional race in Seattle.
The Republican candidate maintains a 10 point lead, 54-44.
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/house/wa/washington_8th_district-947.html
The recent poll from Washington state has McCain closing Obama’s previous lead from last month of 12 points down to 2 points as of 9/10/08. That is within the margin of error.
Talk about a Western surge for McCain!
I think McCain-Palin should travel to Washington state. I read that Palin’s favorite NFL team is the Seattle Seahawks. It would be a natural fit. I think Washington state is having second thoughts about Obama BIG TIME and the polls sure look like Obama is going to have to play a lot of defense to hold Washington state. That is indeed news and should be troubling for the Obama campaign.
I love to see polls like this…Who had that 50 state strategy?…looks like McCain is gaining in a few states these days and some are now leaning his way.
now if we can only do the same in CA~~
Please see my latest blog entry on the issue of Troopergate. In actuality, this story pales in comparsion to the abuse of power coming out of the state of Delaware to protect Senator Obama from the allegations made by Larry Sinclair. Please read the story and distribute it widely as you see fit.
http://gianni-socialobservations.blogspot.com/2008/09/troopergate-how-about-sinclairgate.html
Wow! Great stuff. Thanks for the link.
WOW! Thanks for giving us the scoop on what Obama and Biden had done to Sinclair. Pretty obviuos the MSM is covering for Obama and Biden BIG TIME. The conenctions to Obama and Biden in that whole arrest/false charge are undeniable.
And the MSM is silent about it all. Pathetic.
SPREAD THE WORD!
McCain’s campaign pioneered money raising via the Internet.
See “Net Vs. Norm” by Richard Rapaport, Best of The Web, Forbes ASAP, May 29, 2000
http://www.forbes.com/asap/2000/0529/053.html
That’s not McCain’s only involvement with the Internet. In the same May 29, 2000 article:
McCain has been involved in Internet issues for years. I guess the McCain campaign is holding off on a response because of Hurricane Ike. When they do respond to Obama’s ad, they’ll be able to hit it from two directions at once. Obama’s ad really is extraordinarily out of touch.
Outsider here.
Please answerme this.
Do you think Obama was not referring to Palin at all?
or was she the lipstick and McCain the Pig?
or was she the pig?
Also do you think the stinky fish comment was directed at her and her “Sarah Barracuda” nickname?
I’m actually genuinely confused because of what Obama said in his pathetic, self-pitying appearance on Letterman a couple on night’s ago.
“Obama was not referring to Palin at all?” Not a chance of it. At the very least he was taking a cheap shot of alledged humor at Palin’s expense.
Who cares what he really meant? It was childish, pathetic taunting and extremely unpresidential.
Hid adoring fans sure thought he was talking about Palin, and he continued with the sophomoric taunts instead of getting back to something substantive.
Even if you use the kindest possible explanation, that the pig/lipstick/fish “joke” and this ad about McCain’s not sending his own email….that Obama just didn’t know any better…does that make you want to elect him president?
Hell, I wouldn’t elect him president of my neighborhood HOA, and certainly not the PTA.
His excuse is BS! It was a double jab, and one of which was toward Palin. Just like that BS brush of the shoulder and middle finger to Hillary. That man acts like a street thug and based on the audience reaction, it was meant to insult Palin’s comment. It’s a national stage and he acts like it’s the Def Jam comedy hour.
He “explained” it on Letterman. Palin is the lipstick and McCain and his policies are the pig. So now we all know how clever he is.
This is the story i saw posted here, Stuck on Stupid and Free Republic. Obama speech was carefully scripted, the words he spoke right before the “Lipstick” remarks were words that were lifted almost word-for-word from a Tom Toles Cartoon from the Sept 5, 2008 Washington Post. If you go to the Post and click on Tom Toles Cartoons you can view the Sept. 5 cartoon. Obama better get better speechwriters, first they stole “This is our Moment, This is out Time” from Bono, now they are stealing from a Cartoon.
lipstick and pig, followed up by fish referred to Palin and women in general. whatever his spin, perception is everything. most–except his supporters–thought it was an insult.
that cat is out of the bag now, no taking it back. don’t act all confused, you sound like an uninformed troll
I think that is how his groupies Ayres Rezko etc talk when their all together at a backyard BBQ jiving each other and name calling u know having some fun they would call it.
I think he was talking about himself and MEchele and got carried away forgot where he was his true personality came through!
Thank goodness it was at a time before we all voted…..
Now everyone on the fence can see him exactly as and who he is.
McCain/Palin 08
Letterman and Obama together!! Yeeeeeeeech! Caca!
The MSM won’t pick up on this at all. They are so deep in the tank for Obama that I’m surprised they even come up long enough to take a breath.
John NcCain is so far above Obama that these hot air sallies that he throws out won’t touch McCain.
But you’d better believe that the American voter is taking in every word and on Nov.4th they will give their reply.
Big mouth, arrogant, egomaniac Barry, Barack Soretoro, Dunham, or whatever his name is will wish he had stayed in Indonesia, or Africa or wherever he came from where his ilk might be more appreciated.
We appreciate war heroes here in America and to belittle one of our best who doesn’t have as nimble fingers as some, is beyond the pale. It makes me sick just to think about it. I hope some news outlet has the guts to put this out there so everybody can see just what scum Obama is.

The comments at Lynn Sweet’s blog are better than anything SNL had in the past 25 years:
The Senator needs to be ready just in case a “national call” goes out for Community Organizers for Galveston and Houston. Once the water has reeeded, he can go and walk through the devastated areas, careful to not get his feet wet or hands dirty, and shake hands, pat some backs and act like he is in charge.
Has he ever worked for a living?
http://edgeoforever.wordpress.com/
Not true, he will calm the stormy sea and then walk directly across the Gulf of Mexico to the nearest Waffle House.
Yes, he wouldn’t want to soil his Armani suit.
I thought he could “Walk on Water”
Maybe Obama want to attack Gov. Ed Rendell, from Pennsylvania who not use Internet or email. This is well know in Pennsylvania. People have to use fax or phone to communicate with him. Not sure does he have any medical disabilities like McCain. But I’m 100% sure it will backfire in Pennsylvania.
Bidern is in big trouble here as well about the coal miner lie. Hope that Biden lie become national news soon.
Sean Smith, Obama’s campaign communications director for Pennsylvania admit about this lie on S. Corbett radio show last Friday.
Biden, Biden…is he on the ticket? haven’t heard about him in weeks…is he still hitting the bars on the campaign trail?
Well, Obama texted the Biden pick. Kewl!
But McCain made the dazzling, brilliant pick of Sarah Palin the day after the speech on Mt. Olympus to wipe out Obama’s convention bounce and turn the election on its head.
So who is more media savvy again?
Have you seen the Democratic War Room youTube?
It is hilarious, I don’t have the link though. It directly spoofs Obama’s (as der Fuehrer) reaction to the Palin choice.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwwaIqC-aeE
Yes, thank you, I have to watch it again. It’s rare that I laugh aloud at youtubes.

Thank you,

“That’s not the Rubik’s Cube that I knew….”
Funny. Probably going to happen. The question is how does mccain hammer him on it before he takes it back in the face of the hurricane and the train wreck….rough timing, but its out there, hanging like a sword over obama’s new “economy first, mccain is out of touch” narrative
McCain’s war injuries keep him from using a keyboard? Therefore the democrats are are mocking John’s war record when they suggest he’s not up to speed on modern technology?
That’s a classic. Somebody ought to ask John McCain if he ever learned to use a typewriter.
It’s true that he can’t lift his arms above his shoulders, and that this no doubt results from his jet crash, inadequate medical care, and subsequent abuse at the hands of the North Vietnamese. His advanced age has no doubt aggravated the effects of those old injures.
Note, however, that after months of rehabilitation following his release in 1973, John McCain not only returned to active duty, but his flight status was restored, and he was given command of a Navy flight squadron. The guy too disabled by his injuries to type was apparently still able to handle the controls of a jet aircraft. His retirement from the U.S. Navy in 1981 was a choice that he made, when he realized he would be unlikely to fulfill the 2-generation family tradition of becoming a full Navy admiral. He has stated himself that attaining full admiral was unlikely because he lacked the prerequisite sea command duty.
True, John McCain receives a tax-free Navy disability pension of $58,358 per year, and is considered by the Navy to be 100% disabled. The basis of that 100% disability rating is not a matter of public record. I doubt, however, if “can’t send an e-mail” is part of his disability profile.
Dude, in the 60’s and 70’s most people undergoe worsening of preexisting physical damage. Stop being a koolaid drinker.
Having both a brother and an ex-husband who served in Vietnam I can testify that physical disabilities from combat service can be marginally disabling but become excruciating as the years pile up.
Yes, that’s true of serious injuries, however they’re acquired. It can also be true of PTSD. Deeply buried war-related psychological traumas can surface in later years, causing anxiety, depression, recurring nightmares with an attendant inability to sleep, etc. I met a lot of vets with such problems before my own retirement and saw that with my own father, who was a WW2 pilot. I’m a ‘nam vet myself, and consider myself fortunate to have escaped the level of trauma that can bring lingering PTSD on. I was only in a state of chronic hyper-alertness and intermittant depression for around 5 years. The only thing that punches my button now is the unexpected sound of an approaching helicopter.
I’ve read comments like this on the liberal boards. Obama the Democrats are just going to throw away the election - they really don’t know any better. I guess their parents never told them that if you say something insensitive, you apologize, not argue about what disabled war heros should be capable of if they were just willing to work through the pain.

Is it me who is blind?
The Politico is in the tank for Obama…and/or they are a bunch or morons, even on the supposed neutral or republican blogs. The comments were always overrun by hyperpartisan cussing and knuckledraggers from both fringes when I made my way over there too.
I still can’t grasp why/when anybody started taking them seriously. They are about as professional as the HuffPost IMHO. Well, perhaps the HuffPost is better because Arianna doesn’t still try to pretend she’s objective any more, right?
Fluf, yea maybe a little because she self identifies.
Can you believe Allen’s excuse in the email? To cite his quote about trying to get online? McCain was obviously embarrassed to say he could only use a mouse at best because of his injuries. Unbelievable.
From what I’ve seen the state by state polls are slow to come in, and then you average the last three or four, you end up incorporating numbers that are 5+ days old.
There’s no question that FL has moved from leading McCain to a lock and that Ohio has moved to leading. The Dems know this and that’s why they’re starting to go crazy now, because an Obama victory is difficult to impossible without those two states.
Here in Jacksonville, Fl they had to move the planned event to a bigger building. It started out small and the last count was 6500. People here are so excited about McCain and Sarah. My signs go up as soon as they get in. Interesting note. My son lives in a mid size town in Florida. There has been not been one Obama sign to be seen. Nada Zero Poof
Yep what I meant, how come identical state by state maps give Obama at politico.
+5 more electoral vote?
Look
Obama 273 McCain/Palin 265 (politico)
Obama 268 McCain/Palin 270 (intrade)
I don’t think Senator McCain can’t get online because of dexterity issues or a lack of aptitude on understanding how to open a website or send an email. He’s just not an active participant in communicating through the internet. A significant percentage of the population isn’t. They tend to use the internet only when they need to look something up, buy something, pay a bill or make travel arrangements They prefer to communicate through the phone or the old fashion way of writing a letter, placing it in an envelope, putting a stamp on it and mailing it. I see nothing wrong with that or that it indicates someone is out of touch with the real day workings of the world.
Senator McCain has a staff that keeps tabs on the blogs, manage his website, etc… So does Senator Obama. So does President Bush. Playing on the internet isn’t a hobby for Senator McCain, he prefers other leisure activities and using the phone and snail mail for communication. Big deal. I don’t think there will be any international incidents because Senator McCain isn’t adept at attaching his daughter’s graduation photo to an email to send out to all the world’s leaders.
I think the Obama campaign ad was a waste of money. I think the majority of the voters who have decided to vote for McCain don’t care if he surfs the net. It’s not a priority to them. Maybe it is to Senator Obama’s college kids, but it isn’t to 45 year old soccer moms and 65 year old retirees. Senator Obama won’t draw away Senator McCain supporters with the ad and it’s unlikely to be a deciding factor for the undecided either.
That’s the Obama campaign’s best case scenario, which you have done a nice job presenting here for the last couple of days. I tend to agree more with Glenn Reynolds over at Instapundit when he says:
The real bonus is that Obama can’t defend or explain the ad away at all. Either he is completely ignorant of the groundbreaking work the McCain campaign of 2000 did on internet fundraising and campaigning, or he and his ad team are too lazy and too arrogant to research basic facts behind this ad, or he knew full well why McCain doesn’t compose his own email or other typed correspondence and thought it was a good ad anyway.
EPIC FAIL
The Obama people don’t need to explain away the ad. They only needs to hope that the republicans will attack Obama with a high-profile counter-ad, to add to the growing perception that they’ve got nothing but attack ads going for them.
Things aren’t always what they appear to be.
LOL.
How brilliant Obama is to lie to the voting public while insulting injured vets, older Americans, and people who don’t surf the net, etc.
All in a strategy to point out the obvious…..Repbulicans will protect their candidate against his lies.
Put down the hopium bong!! Your brain is running around in circles.
Republicans
RepBULLicans… I rather liked the alternate spelling.
Which explains why Obama has lifted so much from the Reps and praised them so often on the trail.
there you go again….Obama only needs to hope McCain counter-attacks the ad. roflamo!
No, the media will attack him with the facts, McCain doesn’t have to do that.
If you notice, McCain ads are not all emotional and personal like barky’s ads. McCain is a grown up…he’ll continue to put up serious ads about national security, the economy, energy, sprinkled with a few questioning obama’s associations and judgment….barky will be busy responding to his latest gaffe or trying to make it personal.
EPIC FAIL.
I doubt that the Obama campaign spent anytime researching Senator McCain’s record beyond votes for Iraq and taxes. They don’t appear to always do their homework.
They also don’t appear to realize the high tech industry that is in Arizona and that Senator McCain is well informed about the high tech industry and what it produces.
From what I can see, the Obama campaign decided not to go after voters over the age of 55. When you’re talking about raising the capital gain and death taxes, you’re not looking for votes for retirees. Have an AARP card and they don’t want you. They’re very youth oriented. Whether they considered if the ad would turn off people who rarely use the internet, I don’t think it matters. They don’t care if it does. At one time they thought they could win a landslide of states with the African American and under age 30 voters, now they’re planning for those demographics in a handful of states to win the election for them.
So now all of you are going to support
Mrs. McVeigh for Vice President. Considering McCain’s age, Mrs. McVeigh is a heartbeat away from the Presidency and all of the powers that come with it.

I think the best response would be an animated ad where GW Bush teaches Obama about “the google.”
Just turn the mocking tone right back at them…
Now, the campaign stop in PA where Obama said McCain doesn’t put this country first? That statement deserves to face the full force and fury of an official McCain campaign response.
John McCain puts John McCain first, and country last. Been that way his whole life.

Yes, I’m sure he remained as a POW longer than he needed to because he put himself first. McCain opposed Reagan when Reagan was popular because of bad decisions by the President’s Administration.

This blog has a bad case of Obama derangement syndrome. I used to have it myself but snapped out of it. I fear that most of you will also but it will be too late.
So THIS time around, Obama has gone to bat against a retired wounded military hero who has some long-standing disabilities suffered while a POW. And the guy doesn’t whine. In one fell swoop, has Obama insulted
1. Veterans
2. The military
3. The elderly
4. Those who choose to not use computers
5. The poor, who either can’t afford them or can’t afford online services
6. The disabled, who have problems with keyboards
Is that about it? Did I miss anyone?
Words fail me.

Hey Moran…there are bigger issues than Oblahma. Right wingers are trying to take over the damn world and we were hoping you guys down there would throw a wrench into that. Guess we were wrong…pity
It’s amazing how people miss that, isn’t it? It’s right there in front of their faces but they don’t seem to see it.
Oh well, what’s a little war with Russia? If another military build-up is what it takes to achieve Reform, Prosperity, and Peace, it’s a small price to pay.
Besides, we don’t really pay for these things. We just put them on the national credit card.
Rep. Moran is here? Wow…and just a few days back Linc Chafee came aboard. Larry and Susan, you guys are attracting only the best of the Obamabots lately. Kudos!
Well Chicago is filled with hateful leftist and it looks worse off for knowing Obama, Michelle, and Ayers.
They’ve stolen proper housing, schooling and medical care from their neighbors.
So I won’t subject their grifter version of help to MY neighbors.
Nor will I support a candidate who subverts the right to vote repeatedly. McCain will receive my vote because he hasn’t tampered with it twice this year alone!
It is shame you support the same tricks that installed Bush and don’t question why that same media is now helping Obama.
ditto that noproblema
In reference to the above post by
Gianni-
Do you think perhaps the heavy drinking and weird behavior lately of Joe Biden could be his conscience getting to him for the illegal actions of his son while he was the Delaware Attorney General?
Do you think that both he and Obama are getting desperate because now that the polls are pointing away from Obama they are afraid the MSM might do an about face which they are so often prone to do?
The MSM might just use this juicy item to excuse their change of mind about “The One”.
Actually I think it is a staged event. Obama is tanking. So he needs Hillary to the rescue. He can’t make it seem like he made a huge mistake in selecting Biden. ( Also I believe that the only reason that he did pick Biden was because of a back room deal to keep L. Sinclair quiet.) So Biden has to do is role, acting the part. Then he can quietly step down, the MSM will praise Biden for saving the day by doing what was best for the party. Then they will all praise Hillary, showering hwer with flowers, hoping we are so gullible, Hoping that we will all fall in line, jump for joy and finally kiss the feet of “The One We Have All Been Waiting For”
Obama is a smart man, he knows exactly what he is saying and doing when he makes statements like “lipstick on a pig”, flipping Hillary. He knows when he makes those remarks that the GOP will lash out. Then he can cry and be the little victim again, the “One” who stands for change.
You know the saying - You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.
It was aimed at his “staggering” youth vote. Representatives of which I happened to meet. I’m not saying I’m the smartest person in the world, but if the people I met are like those voting for Obama- I’m afraid for America.
They can work a Iphone without instructions, but they’re f-ing idiots. Reasoning skills are not their strongest points. But buzz words and sarcasm are.
Fortunately for me, I’m better at the sarcasm thing.
Considering the amount of productive time that is lost emailing and web surfing (I can personally attest to that), I don’t want a president wasting his or her time on either.
Considering the target audience for a commercial like this is already Obama’s base, one has to wonder if his campaign isn’t unraveling - fast.

ABC Busted On Hiding Sarah Palin’s Full Answers- Updated with abc news contarct url
NewsBusters has the detailed and a link to the original transcript, but a teaser of the type of
things ABC deliberately didn’t show the viewing public is below: (Contact Form to ABC below the post, in case some want to ask them why they cut out important portions of Palin’s answers)
Next we see that Palin was not nearly as hostile towards Russia as was presented in the edited interview:
GIBSON: Let me ask you about some specific national security situations.
PALIN: Sure.
GIBSON: Let’s start, because we are near Russia, let’s start with Russia and Georgia.
The administration has said we’ve got to maintain the territorial integrity of Georgia. Do you believe the United States should try to restore Georgian sovereignty over South Ossetia and Abkhazia?
PALIN: First off, we’re going to continue good relations with Saakashvili there. I was able to speak with him the other day and giving him my commitment, as John McCain’s running mate, that we will be committed to Georgia. And we’ve got to keep an eye on Russia. For Russia to have exerted such pressure in terms of invading a smaller democratic country, unprovoked, is unacceptable and we have to keep…
GIBSON: You believe unprovoked.
PALIN: I do believe unprovoked and we have got to keep our eyes on Russia, under the leadership there. I think it was unfortunate. That manifestation that we saw with that invasion of Georgia shows us some steps backwards that Russia has recently taken away from the race toward a more democratic nation with democratic ideals. That’s why we have to keep an eye on Russia.
And, Charlie, you’re in Alaska. We have that very narrow maritime border between the United States, and the 49th state, Alaska, and Russia. They are our next door neighbors.We need to have a good relationship with them. They’re very, very important to us and they are our next door neighbor.
GIBSON: What insight into Russian actions, particularly in the last couple of weeks, does the proximity of the state give you?
PALIN: They’re our next door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska.
GIBSON: What insight does that give you into what they’re doing in Georgia?
PALIN: Well, I’m giving you that perspective of how small our world is and how important it is that we work with our allies to keep good relation with all of these countries, especially Russia. We will not repeat a Cold War. We must have good relationship with our allies, pressuring, also, helping us to remind Russia that it’s in their benefit, also, a mutually beneficial relationship for us all to be getting along.
We also see from Palin’s following remark, which was also edited out, that she is far from some sort of latter day Cold Warrior which the edited interview made her seem to be:
We cannot repeat the Cold War. We are thankful that, under Reagan, we won the Cold War, without a shot fired, also. We’ve learned lessons from that in our relationship with Russia, previously the Soviet Union.
We will not repeat a Cold War. We must have good relationship with our allies, pressuring, also, helping us to remind Russia that it’s in their benefit, also, a mutually beneficial relationship for us all to be getting along.
The portion that NewsBusters put in bold are whole segments of Palin’s answers that they just edited out and didn’t make available to the public.
All interviews are edited but the bias shown in how the interview was presented to the American public in relation to the actual answers that were given by Palin, shows an incredible amount of behind the scenes deliberation to show the public only what they wanted them to see instead of what the public wanted to see, which was all of Palin’s answers.
NewsBusters has much more information on removed segments of Sarah Palin’s answers.
Read the whole interview to see how ABC has tried to play the public.
I am adding the contact URL for ABC News, so people who see how much of Palin’s answers were deliberately hid from the viewing public, can ask them why they felt the need to hide Sarah Palin’s full answers from people that depended on the television interview to get the answers about Palin they were seeking.

Now tell us why would Charlie Gibson do this? WHY? This is wrong!One Guess?
It’s been a long campaign, but it really seems to me that this isn’t the first time I’ve heard this “John McCain doesn’t use e-mail” line from Obama’s campaign. I’m seem to recall Obama made the comment in several stump speeches. Does it ring as familiar to anyone else? I tried looking on you tube, but haven’t found anything yet. Some who are more internet saavy than me might try looking, please.
The LA Times didn’t have it in the paper, but they did mention why McCain can’t use a keyboard on their blog. People just need to keep pushing this story so the MSM does pick it up. It’ll be Sweet if the first ad in ‘Obama’s striking back’ campaign gets thrown back in his face.
