Obama-Biden: Which disabled war vets will they insult next?
What a week for the Gaffe Twins.
First, Joe Biden bone-headedly urges a disabled lawmaker veteran (correction: not a veteran) in a wheelchair to “Stand up” during a campaign rally.
Next, Barack Obama mocks John McCain for not using a computer to send e-mail — despite mainstream media articles dating back to 2000 that report he can’t type because of the war injuries inflicted by his Vietnamese torturers.
Who will their next victims be?
Keep these bunglers away from Walter Reed.
Reader Matthew Fritch e-mails:
Michelle,
I just thought I would share this letter to the editor I sent to the Seattle Times and the Olympian in regards to Obama’s latest ad:
As a Disabled Veteran and as an American I was utterly disgusted by the latest campaign ad by Sen. Obama. The ad in which I speak makes the following claim:
“He admits he still doesn’t know how to use a computer, can’t send an e-mail”
The ad shows one of two things; either Sen. Obama has absolutely no scruples about attacking Sen. McCain’s disability he suffers from due to the torture he received as a POW or he and his campaign lack the basic skills to do research prior to releasing this tasteless ad. I did a bit of checking and found the following quote in a Boston Globe article by Mary Leonard dated 3/4/2000 which states,
“McCain’s severe war injuries prevent him from combing his hair, typing on a keyboard, or tying his shoes.”
Perhaps instead of mocking Sen. McCain’s injuries, the Sen. Obama should be reaching out to the disabled community. I see this as just one more reason that Sen. Obama has been slipping in the polls in our great state as well as nationally.

Oh and one more thing, Sausage. You’re welcome for WWII. Most of the soldiers who are entombed at Normandy didn’t have passports either.
Go take a look at the museums there. France, England, etc. have these gaudy chest-thumping memorials to the State. Then go see the U.S. memorial. It’s about the individual.
Ingrate.
We could easily get rid of the $15 billion problem if we deported all the illegals we’re supporting in this state.
Beware of the

What are you talking about? The net loss of illegals is $150 billion . And we’d have close to full employment.

Bidet has globe trotted the world over and would be a heatbeat away from the Presidency if elected in November— is Snausage impressed with that BumbleHead’s competence? BWAHAHAHAHAHHA the guy never got beyond 4 per cent of the vote in flippin primaries for heaven’s sake! Keep it up, Governor Palin. Wipe the floor with these euro-aussie-moonloons. They are getting the sharia creep they deserve.
Hey, did anyone else see the 10 anti-Palin editorials in the NYT’s today?
I just read a VERY convincing piece about where this “Jesus was a community organizer” comes from. It is one of the primary tenants and main thrusts of liberation theology. To promote their form of religious marxism, liberation theologians need to recast Jesus as something other than a religious figure. They need to paint him as a political figure bent on political reform.
It is truly frightening that the MSM has swallowed this Marxist principle and is now serving as the propaganda arm for its spread.
sure did Blame, I also climbed Mt. Everest this morning before breakfast.
NYT = Slime
Hey Obama lovers;
I just payed $10,000 in my quarterly tax fleecing so you can go out and claim I don’t pay my fair share.
Come out and fight you lazy leaches.
Where are you?
Liberation Theology in Central America led to the deaths of thousands of poor folks doing what their liberation theology missionaries encouraged them to do.
The question to all marxists, all the time, is:
WHO DIES FIRST? (and where will you be hiding when it all goes down?)

Hey libs
Come out you morally and mentally bankrupt pieces non viable tissue mass.
For some reason Libs don’t like it when you call Murder a “Post Natal Abortion”
They’re so confusing
Susan Sarandon blowing her hole at some red carpet event for the “oppressed” said: “Jesus was a community organizer and Pontius Pilate was a governor. That’s all i have to say.”
What a schmuck! This Jesus was a community organizer is a bigger piece of filth than Paris Hilton’s limo after a night out with her crew.
How psychotic does one have to be to impugn anything to do with Christian life, as most liberals do on a daily basis- whether talking about their uterii, their sexual penetration preferences, what is and is not taught in schools, THE LIST GOES ON FOR MILES- and then to make it the cornerstone slogan to elect a closeted Moslem pop tart?
Psychotic, narcississtic, hey baby let’s fundraise for PEACE and wipe our butts with the Bible in the process….(insert Dean’s donkey scream here…)
Good luck growing old to the Sarandon’s, the Robbins;, the Geffens’ and the Schpielenbergers’,
et al. The sewer pipe you profit from runs through your homes. ewww.

BlameAmericalast, yup. Saw the anti-Palin stuff in the NYT. I don’t think the NYT will allow too many letters printed which oppose its views. It is laughable. the Palinator is getting to them too.
How stupid of the NYT to state that she surrounded herself with friends when she took office. Isn’t that what EVERY elected official does. It is what Obama will do, Clinton did, Bush did, Reagan did, etc.
When does life begin for a liberal?
Each time they concoct some silly “model” to explain the world and what it means to themselves, based on the shadows moving on the walls of their caves.
Post natal of course.

Hey Obama lovers;
I”m on the board of my home owners association. I’m not paid. Am I a community organizer? People here collect new good winter coats for poor people. Are we community organizers? We shovel snow in the winter for older people who can’t. Are we community organizers? What the hell do what from us?

Hey Obama lovers
Top 5% pay 53.25% of all income taxes
The top 10% pay 64.89%
The top 25% pay 82.9%
The top 50% pay 96.03% .
The bottom 50%? THAT’S YOU LIBS, pay a paltry 3.97% of all income taxes.
GET OFF YOUR BUTTS AND SHUT UP
On the tax front, let me add that Obama is not proposing a tax cut, it’s a rebate program. A tax cut doesn’t involve getting a check in the mail. Is anyone asking how much it will cost to manage and implement a REBATE program? A real tax cut doesn’t involve paying gov employees to decide who gets the rebate, print the checks, stuff the envelopes and pay for mailing. It’s a hand out not a tax cut!!!!
But not every country is a member of the eu over there, you deceptive island monkey. Also, if you wish to live and work in an eu community, you must first prove that you are eligible to receive the welfare benefits provided by all the people by your criminaly high taxes.
Question: When did Britain become part of Saudia Arabia?
PLEASE EXCUSE MY RANTING THIS MORNING FOLKS, It’s quarterly tax time and my wife is tired of hearing about it. This place is my only outlet.
BUT
OBAMA LOVERS
If I only worked 40 hours a week I would be a taxed at 35%. Because I work double those hours my hourly tax rate is 70%.
SHOVE THAT UP YOUR FAIR SHARE
Thats all folks. I won’t subject you all to any more.
“It’s not commonly known in Europe that you can go coast to coast in the USA without a passport or having to show government-issued “papers”.”
Yeah, it’s handy to have Google to find out all sorts of info, ain’t it? Now you just have to spread the word. You can start with telling the people waiting in line with you as you renew the government licence that allows you to watch television. But be sure to have all your papers and passport in order. Not that you’ll be demanded them by government bureaucrats themselves going through the line, but what with a CCTV on every corner you can’t “upsub” enough.(Big Brother doesn’t need a license to watch you)
Was Orwell a prophet or what!?
Hate to contradict you Familyfella, but true liberals don’t pay any taxes. They are on the receiving-only end of the deal!
Thanks purplepeep for sticking more pins in my eyeballs.
My business (using the money multiplayer 4 to 1 growth ratio) has grown the economy over 50 million dollars in 35 years. My few employees and I have paid over 2 million dollars in total taxes in that time period. Hey libs what have you contributed in 35 years?
Sarandon is a schmuck, and this Jesus as community organizer stuff is a load. (How stupid is Obozo anyway? Does he really think that continuous, blasphemous comparisons of him to Christ really help his cause?)
Jesus was NOT a community organizer… he was (besides being a the Son of God and a teacher) a REFORMER who exposed corruption among the religious elite who purported to be acting in the best spiritual interests of the people of Isreal, but who in reality had misrepresented The Law and The Prophets in order to enrich themselves and ensure their own power.
Christ died for the sins of the world. I don’t believe that Obozo would submit to stubbing his toe for that purpose, nor for any other if it didn’t benefit him first and foremost.
God Bless America!!!
Sorry for doing that on a fine Sunday morn, FM. But isn’t it odd how liberals like the professional full-time protesters are the ones who yell the loudest for higher taxes? Well, considering it means an increased meal-ticket for them, maybe it ain’t so odd!
This is an interesting bit of info…

If I were Obama I’d have a court issue a “hush order” on my supporters, CCS.
But, on the other hand, when they are busy alienating so many key voting blocs it’s kinda fun trying to guess which group they are going to insult next!

Excellent post! I’ve been reading the comments all morning and you’ve captured my thoughts exactly. Thank you.
Why doesn’t Obama challenge McCain to a little one-on-one? Then he can ridicule him for his shooting and defense.
Obama: He can’t even block a shot or do a lay-up, not to mention dunk the ball. Do you trust this man to be president?
Obama Partisans tamper with Palin subpoena
Thanks DB, and my pleasure.
I find it bizarrely insane the way they continuously find new and different ways to demonstrate their hypocrisy.
As they continue their path down the irrelevancy road with the latest attempt to smear and demean GOVERNOR Palin by trying to equate her with Pontious Pilate, a man who God Himself chose to guarantee that the Scriptures were true, that Jesus would follow his destiny to conquer death and save all our souls from eternal damnation, they continuously forget or purposely refuse to accept the fact that two of their biggest icons…Jimmy Carter, the man who refuses to keep his nose out of the Middle East (especially considering all the issues we currently have with Iran he is directly responsible for) and their original savior, the First Black President, the man who only 8 years ago they were all wrending their garments and gnashing their teeth over the fact that he could not be elected to a third term…
were both Governors. But not just any governors…no, no, no,. They were governors from two states in the South. The same South they love to claim is full up with ignorant, stupid, ethnocentric bigots, racist, uneducated, non-traveled, hate-filled, in-bred yokels.
Ge…where should the comparison between governors really lie?
You know, I just recently…within the last year, found out about that. Yeah…that’s some real freedom, isn’t it? Having to pay a fee to your government for the priveledge of watching a whole lot of nothing on a Friday night. That’s the free society model.
Look, I admit fully that I am an Anglophile. I absolutely love Great Britain and am planning to visit there during te 2012 Olympics. My daughters and I are planning the trip now. I love British humor, I love British ales, hell, I even love British food.
However, their government and the Socialist dogma that it is modeled after is NOT something anyone should even attempt to be proud of or think it is something to be proud of. The tax rates there, the ones that are so incredibly high in order to pay for all those entitlements that are handed to immigrants the minute they cross the border, have been the cause of riots. The open border welcome mat is whittling away at their soverignty so fast, that actual Britains will be a minority in their own capital in the next DECADE. Dhimmis run amock in the Parliament, as well as local government so blatantly that the Mayor of London is on record as having said it might just be a good thing to incorporate Shari`a laws into their own laws.
They have learned nothing from Neville Chamberlain’s attempts at appeasing the biggest liar and mass murderer this planet has ever seen, and have returned to a belief that if you just continue to give in to the demands of terroristts and other Islamic fruitcakes, eventually they will be satisfied and everyone can sing Kumbaya and have a Coke and a smile.
They have been famous for their pomposity and it continues today, claiming that they and they alone are the only ones who know how too deal with the world, all while their “Empire” has dwindled down to nothing.
I find snausage so dishonest and ignorant towards his own, that he is completely irrelevant and nothing more than an excersize in foolishness. Where they used to have leaders that understood the dangers of this world, such as Margaret Thatcher, instead as the world grows more and more unstable due to the continued rise of evil and murderous dictators and other Islamic fun-boys, they have grown more and more milktoast like in their leadership; Electing leaders who honestly believe that appeasement can actually work, if only allowed to continue unabatted.
The lyric, “Britains never, never shall be slaves” is now nothing more than a failed slogan, for they are falling head first into becoming slaves to their Islamic Overlords with every passing day.
And it is all due to the plain ignorance and stupidity of the likes of snausage and those just like him. Congrats.
I’m an Anglophile, too, and it breaks my heart to see what is happening in the UK both politically and culturally. I comment on it from time to time as a way to warn Americans what can so easily happen here, too. My husband and I are also planning to visit London in 2012, as a reward to ourselves for (theoretically, at least) emptying the nest.
Utterly off topic, but are you a Whovian, too?
McCain was tortured for his country.
Obama quit being a community organizer when he got frustrated.

I know how you feel but I paid mine about a week ago so its partially worn off. Relax, take a deep breath, and say “damn the tax code” twenty times.
Not the current Dr. I am more of an 80’s guy.
“You can start with telling the people waiting in line with you as you renew the government licence that allows you to watch television.”
Yeah, it used to be a grand empire, to be sure. Perhaps the passing of Churchill was a symbol of it’s own dying out. Past greats like the amazing Maggie Thatcher and the few current brave Brits who remain have helped to slow it’s decline, but I don’t know that it’s handbasket trip to Hades can be stopped at this point.
My gran da and gran ma came from Ireland because of the Brits… but, I’m sorry to see what’s happening in England, too.
Its a european thing. In Germany you pay radio and TV tax giving you the right to own a television, or radio in your home. (Not a nominal tax either)
Europeans would tax flatulence if they could find a way to measure it. By all means, lets imitate their policies.
/sarc off.
Speaking of air; it is also taxed when the area is considered a resort and the air quality is high.
let me share some info with you that i have gotten from excellent sources within the DNC:
On or about October 5th, Biden will excuse himself from the ticket, citing health problems,
and he will be replaced by Hillary. This is timed to occur after the VP debate on 10/2.
there have been talks all weekend about how to proceed with this info. generally, the feeling
is that we should all go ahead and get it out there to as many blog sites and personal email
lists as is possible. i have already seen a few short blurbs about this - the “health problem”
cited in those articles was aneurysm. probably many of you have heard the same rumblings.
however, at this point, with this inside info from the DNC, it looks like this obama strategy will be a go. therefore, it seems that the best strategy is to get out in front of this obama maneuver, spell it out in detail, and thereby expose it for the grand manipulation that it is.
Well, I’ll tell you, if I were Joe Biden, I’d want to get that V.P. thing in writing.”
Could be, resha1, but when I googled the first sentence of it I only found the same thing on somebody’s blog. To me it seems more like just forwarded email-type gossip. But I could be wrong.
rehas1-
I agree with Purp-just some internet gossip.
However, I wouldn’t put it pass McCain/Pailin not to already consider this sort of situation to occur and to have things in place already to go if this should happen.
If so, then you can count on McCain attacking bo’s lack of experience and Pailin going after hillary’s “executive experience”, travelgate, and the like.
hillary has too many skeltons in her closet that should see the light of day.
GSP
It would actually be par for the course as it follows their hypocrisy to the letter. After all the whining they have done to accuse McCain of pandering to get women’s votes and that they would never fall for such a thing. That type of move would prove The Golden Calf’s complete incompetence towards making decisions, failure to make and keep a promise/commitment, and that he really is a total sexist pig pandering to women simply to gain power.
Were anyone to vote for him after a move such as that, they would merely be demonstrating their immense lack of character and lack of soul.
