Do you specialize in Non Sequitur?

Shouldn't you be slamming another Republican politician for having a physical disability?
Non Sequitur again? Are you incapable of posting coherent comment tonight?

Because we've left reality and entered the fucktard wingnut parallel universe. It happened around August 29th.

How do McCain's war injuries prevent him from typing on a keyboard yet he is addicted to his Blackberries and cellphones (he constantly uses multiple ones)? Typing is typing.

Hey, Joe Biden told a guy in a wheelchair to stand up....attacking people with disabilities is the new Dem line of attack.
And then realized what he'd done. Man, you really are a fvcking piece of work. You know what you just said was complete bullsh*t and said it anyway.

With your thumbs as opposed to all 10 fingers?

Why don't you ask the people who wrote the article, 8 years ago?

I believe McCain himself said he didn't know how to use a computer, not that he didn't because of any hand injuries. If he's that disabled, maybe that means he shouldn't be President?

Here's the ad.

Not to mention that in an interview with the New York Times, McCain indicates he does go online and read blogs, although he doesn't email.

WTG, Obama! Knock a handicapped guy! I'm sure that'll bring up those slumping poll numbers . . .

War injuries my butt, how about the fact that he is far to old and loseing bodly functions. I know I am not the only one seeing that he looks like death warmed over!!! I really think that this entire election is so screwed!!! But back to the point, Obamma should start slinging mud. If he doesn't, it will cost him the election....

Banging bitches?

that would explain the black muslim babies he sired...

this ad is going to backfire. insulting mccain based on his computer skills? This isn't just grasping for straws anymore, it's holding on for dear life.

Fortunately most dems are smart enough to see through this ad

this is more laughable than the lipstick/pig blunder ad that team mccain came out with though. I'm surprised team obama didn't start off with "what happens when the president gets an email at 3AM?"

Hopefully SNL picks this obama gaffe up and runs with it

a side note: I did not hear the "I'm John McCain and I approve this message" on the lipstick ad. I looked on various youtube videos and did not see them, so if it is in there, then someone correct me here. Obama did approve the message on this ad though. So it is a bit of a difference, albeit minor, if a group not affiliated with mccain made that commercial.

Ignorant much? I understand people want to find something about McCain to whine about and his apparent lack of tech knowledge certainly fills that void for them, BUT for anyone to attempt to claim that typing is typing(cell/blackberry vs keyboard) is a damn fool and shows their own (willing) ignorance on the subject.
I know a half dozen people who can't type on a keyboard due to injury but can use a crackberry and cell just fine. In fact, they have only just recently started to become "tech aware" because they can now use it whereas before it was quite difficult(when there was "only" keyboards).

But meh.... keep throwing stuff against the wall lefties...

Republican Ad: Obama wants to teach Kindergärtners how to fuck

Democratic Ad: McCain's out of touch with mainstream America, hell he doesn't even know how to use a computer and email

LOL at the fools complaining about Obama's ad but are OK with McCains but these are the same fools who voted for Bush twice.

To me having a president that doesn't even use the internet, whether it was caused by injury or not, is a major flaw. The amount of information that you can learn from the internet grants today's internet using generation tremendous resources at the tips of their fingers. I know the fact he is a war hero, but I don't see how that makes him more qualified to become president in an increasingly complex global economy.

So if it is on the internet it must be true. ;)

Clinton didn't use a computer either, Gore used to tease him about not being able to even turn his on.

So you think it's a major issue he can't pull up a Wikipedia before making decisions. I'm guessing as President he will probably have a staff to supply him with any information he request. I would prefer it over this silly idea, the leader of the free word browsing the web doing his own research.
