Why can’t McCain e-mail? Boston Globe explained it in 2000

I got drudge to post it!

Great! Let's hope the Sunday Fox show mentions it.

Expect it to happen. Even a number of Dems are keeping their distance if they want to get elected. Obama is like a burning necklace for them.

[Presbyterian Reporter]

Can someone post the Obama ad??

Their crack research team apparently never heard of Google or Lexis-Nexis...

This is not a slam at McCain or his injuries, so don’t start up.

Out of curiosity, does anyone kow exactly what the impairment is? I assume he can’t rotate his forearms at all, due to the injuries. Just looking at my arms and wrists while I’m typeing this, I can see that if his forearms won’t “rotate”, it would be impossible to type.

BTW, I wouldn’t do a commercial on this, I’d let Palin do it live at campaign stops. The word will get out.

Well, there's a disqualifier right there. How can a man be President and be unable to throw out the first ball at a game?

I'm sure Sarah can bring it.

[Tarpon]

I have taught the wife to test and email, no small feat, so I have no qualms that McCain can do it to ...

Anyone know if Slow Joe can read?

First Chuck and now Sen. McCain. Seems the Obama/Biden are pretty insensitive to folks with disabilities.

I admire the way Sen. McCain and all the disabled vets carry themselves. They never complain and walk with grace and dignity.

There's an e-mail that's been circulating over on the liberal side, snarky remarks about McCain attributed to Garrison Keillor. It looks like the source of Obama's ad copy on this. Here's the relevant passage:

Meanwhile, the casual revelation last month that Mr. McCain has never figured out how to use a computer and has never sent e-mail or Googled is rather startling. It's like admitting that you've never clipped your own toenails or that you didn't know that toothpaste comes out of a tube because your valet always did that for you. It's like being amazed at the sight of a supermarket scanner. What world does Mr. McCain live in? Where does he keep his sense of curiosity? My 94-year-old mother has sent e-mail. Does somebody plan to show him how it's done and will they explain to him what "LOL" means?

Why can’t Obama pass a security clearance test?

Well, as one who has been poly'd a number of times over the years I can tell you that obammy's inability to simply answer a question without stuttering and stammering with a ton of "ahs" would definitely preclude him from getting even a semi-clean ploy...

Way to take the gloves off, Barry. Make fun of a hero’s injuries!

"Both GW Bush and McCain can fly jets. Why can’t Obama fly a jet?"

He can, but only into buildings (like others of his faith....)

Yikes!!! Nasty , but disturbingly funny.

I’m bringing this over from ATRW:

First, they slam Sarah Palin for seeing value in a less-than-perfect human;
Next, they tell a paraplegic to stand up (and walk!) and now;
They put down a war veteran for his injuries received at the hands of the enemy.

DemoncRATS, friends of Americans with Disabilities.

Obama makes fun of a man because he physically can’t use a keyboard.

Biden taunts a man in a wheel chair to stand up.

What’s next, sneek into a blind persons house and move their funiture around?

I’ve heard the Max Cleland won’t even walk across the room to feed a starving child.

Ping
Something for your ping lists- Obama makes fun of a POW’s injuries.

Not just seniors, but all patriotic Americans, the disabled, and not just war veterans but ALL veterans, disabled vets, cold war, etc.!!
