WASHINGTON - Democrat Barack Obama's campaign came under fire from conservative bloggers yesterday for a new political ad criticizing his 72-year-old opponent, John McCain, for not using computers.

-------------------------------------
After five years as a prisoner of war, John McCain returned home with physical injuries that would have a lasting impact. He continued to serve his country, both in the military and later in congress, but his broken arms make it painful to lift his hands above his shoulders or to use a keyboard. John reads his e-mails with his wife Cindy, who keys in his responses.
Barack Obama thinks that’s funny and mocks him for not using a computer, even though the real story was told years ago in The Boston Globe and on Slate.com.
Barack Obama. Quick on the trigger…Quick to mock...Not ready to lead.
Picks on cripples.
Picks on girls.
Not ready to win the purse fight of life, let alone be President.
Barrack Obama... mock ppl with disablilities not able to use the keyboard... insensitive... not ready to led
Great way to launch their hard-hitting attack campaign aimed at issues Americans care about.
Joe Biden, to man in wheelchair, “Stand up and let everyone see you.”
Ready, fire, aim.
Obama needs a teleprompter to accuse John McCain of not using email.
As many goof-ups as Obama has had on the ad business...I’m thinking he must have Karl Rove working for him in disguise. No one could continually, week after week, continue to make screw-ups like this.
My thinking is they go back to liberal cliches for the last 6 weeks of the campaign. Some oldies but goodies..
..Tax cuts for the rich
...50 million people without any healthcare what a total disgrace in the richest
...10 million a second we are spending in Iraq could clothe, feed and school 1000 one armed AIDS infected children for their entire 18 years.
The sad thing is that the bloggers had to do the job the media wouldn't do.
McCain strikes back by ignoring the name calling. Sort of like 'sticks and stones may break my bones' but done by an adult.
I heard Obama say at that 9/11 Forum that He wants to make Government COOL again ! If I were the MCain Campaign I would have had an ad on 30 seconds after that to Bury this Communist! Can anyone tell me the Founding Idea of this country ,to get rid of a tyranical Govt. This guy is a Constitutional attorney ? The Constitution was written not for Govt but to PROTECT the people FROM GOVT.! Pray tell me WHEN was GOVT. COOL ? When there was Slavery ,or maybe when woman could not Vote ? How about when we got the income tax?
We can go on for hours . This really reveals this phony ,he is a Communist ,PLEASE MCCAIN BURY THIS GUY WITH THIS!Oh yeah it was cool when there was Affirmative action
Alrightythen.
WHY should John McCain have to worry about using a computer or having to write an email? That is below John McCain's paygrade.
Nice, I'm gonna use that line.
THAT is effin’ fantastic.
The McCain-Palin team needs that response, send it on FRiend!
BRAVO.
Absolutely stunning. I salute you FRiend, that is excellent!
I guess I didn’t realize that typing was a key qualification for being President. Obama just can’t make a move without stepping in it.
