Change America Can’t Afford: Obama and Biden Mock Disabled Veterans and The Ederly

The Obama campaign continues along with their Change America Can’t Afford Tour moving from sexist denigrating comments of mothers like Sarah Palin to using John McCain’s age and his injuries suffered while a POW to some supposed advantage in their latest negative campaign ad.
Most recently the Obama campaign launched an ad aimed at John McCain claiming that he can’t use e-mail and all that garbage, as if sending e-mail in and of itself is a qualification for being President.
As is typically the case with the Obama campaign their lies are exposed by simple research. First of all McCain doesn’t use a computer mostly because he is disabled from war injuries suffered while being tortured as a Vietnamese prisoner of war.
Second, and most importantly John McCain is not nearly as computer illiterate as the idiots in the Obama campaign would have you believe. Here is what Forbes Magazine wrote about McCain in 2000, noting both his technical expertise and how he manages to get past his disabilities with the help of his wife.
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.
Another Obama lie blown to pieces with a simple Google search.
The Obama campaign also attacked John McCain for his age; a common snipe that should have the AARP up in arms.
An interesting side note on all this is the Supreme Court. Currently the average age of the justices on the Supreme Court is 68. Many admittedly aren’t highly technical and live a rarefied existence. Yet Democrats have their heroes on the court that seem to suit them just fine despite their age or technical literacy. Take a look, Stephens (88), Souter (68), Ginsburg (75) and Bryer (70).
It’s a funny thing about identity politics and the Democrats. They put up this big banner with grandiose claims that they represent the victims of America, the ones that are discriminated against based on age, gender or race. Yet when confronted with a Republican party that actually puts their money where their mouth is all the Democrats can do is attack. The democrats are the ones slurring Sarah Palin based on gender discrimination, the Democrats are the ones slurring John McCain based on his age and the Democrats have repeatedly slurred black people that support Republicans as ‘Uncle Toms’ just as they slurred successful African Americans that are conservative.
When are people going to wake the hell up?

Why McCain Doesn’t Use A PC Or Email(?)…
To follow up on the whole “Barry is taking his Isotoner’s off” issue from yesterday, wouldn’t it have been wise for Camp Barry to understand why McCain is not much of a computer and email person? Via The Corner
Well, I guess it …
First why don’t you list all these sex denigrating and or sex discrimination biased/ comments towards Sarah Palin or her family from the Obama campaign? All I heard were legitimate claims about Sarah Palin, and her views on abstinence programs, opposed to her teen daughter getting pregnant. Secondly, you seem to be exaggerating the ad. As an Obama supporter, he shouldn’t have put the ad up I admit that. But I doubt that they were making fun of the elderly, and disabled veterans anyway like you claim that’s just taking it too far. Have you also expressed outrage over McCain claiming Obama should apologize for the lipstick on a pig comment even though McCain used it last year to describe Hilary Clinton’s Health care plan, and so did Sarah Palin at the convention. So don’t give me this righteous indignation unless your going to criticize both candidates.
