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.

Agreed, and either way the same element is missing, that mind thing. Of course, the democrats might still win (a sentence that up to a few weeks ago I never thought I would write give that their victory seemed all but certain). We pick on Carter a lot around here (for good reason) but after Bush I&II and the sheer dread of what the Double-Dim twins are going to do once they are in power, the Carter Administration is starting to look rather agreeable (another sentence I never thought I would write).
Vote for McCain as if American will not survive otherwise (another sentence . . .)
Ironic, isn’t it, that the Obama attack machine chooses to forego even the most cursory of research, while at the same time they have gone to great lengths to cloister information regarding Obama’s background?
They are quickly demonstrating just how stupid and incompetent, they really are!
His new motto should be, “Stupidity we can count on!”
ObamabinBiden–what a couple of losers. They couldn’t come up with a pair between the two of them. I can’t wait to see Mccain/Palin in the winners circle.
As I am sitting here waiting to see what Ike may have in store for the metroplex ( not much, I hope) I am reading Jay Tea on Wizbang. He has the
best line in his blog today. He doesn’t know how the dems chose their party symbol but it is very appropriate (he thinks) for this election. “An ass
on the top of the ticket and a braying ass at the bottom.” I totally agree. I just read how McCain reads his email every night and then dictates his responses to Cindy, who types them because, as he says, she’s a whiz on the keyboard. You don’t have to be able to type to use email. Either the dems, don’t know how to use google, or do not care that John McCain’s 2000 campaign was the first presidential campaign to use the internet. I
think that they are so desperate to slander McCain/Palin that they are just
grabbing onto any Little Thing they can find because there is nothing else
out there. Bet BO can’t say the same thing about himself.
This is a great article by Jim Treacher
http://jimtreacher.com/archives/001566.html
The democratic party ticket, a Marxist with ears and an idiot with a mouth. Heaven help us. They sure didn’t look very hard to come up with this pair did they?
I predict Biden will quit his run for VP and say it is for the good of the party.
Thanks for the link Jim M. I sent it to son after my husband and I finally
quit laughing.
I think for Joe, there is no greater good than his own.
I mentioned yesterday that the Dems will put on their Cloak of Stupidity. This is another example of that. Remind everyone again that McCain was serving his country while Obama was, was, well what was he doing?
With the recent smears that have come at the behest of the Obie tribe re Palin and McCain, I can’t imagine that the fact that
would mean anything to them.
Marxists, Moslems and Socialists generally have no respect for infidels or the rest of humanity.
As Casey Stengel once said in frustration about his team the (then-) hapless NY Mets:
“Can’t anybody here play this game”?
As in advance men tipping off Biden in advance (!!) that the guy is in a wheelchair?
As in “oppo research” people doing research on the opposition, so Obambi doesn’t soil himself in public by mocking McCain’s inability to use e-mail?
Popcorn sales are…exploding…all across America! This is the best spectator sport around!!
Just remember one thing. The Golden Calf has removed any chance that he does not know what is going on inside his campaign. He cannot deny that anything going on is done with his explicit instructions.
After all, it is he himself who came out and used the fact that he is in charge of an is personally running his own campaign. He has used that knowledge to counter GOVERNOR Palin’s experience as a mayor and governor of the 49th state.
Therefore, when he starts attempting plausible deniability, it must be made clear that it is he and he alone who is responsible for all these types of attacks and dishonorable claims.
…and the gathering of devotees quieted, longing to hear the words of their Messiah…”The One” smiled at the masses before him, smiled, and uttered the unforgetable message….
“HEE HAW!!!”
The feminist fawners swooned at the words, fainting away, cherishing always those words of hope and change. Blinded by his countenance, His worshipers fell to their knees, exalting, “Thank you, Lord! We shall follow Your example, always…NO MATTER WHAT!“
Cloak of Stupidity
THAT’s a keeper!!!!
LOL
Props to AlohaGuy
The entire “i support the troops, not the mission or war” statement so popular amongst Liberals and Dems amounts simply to this,:
“The troops are all baby raping, civilian killing low educated mouth breathers who are fighting in an illegal war started under a lying appointed President…
And we support them 100%”
Yeah…makes perfect sense.

I predicted the minute Gov. Palin was announced that Biden would have an unexpected illness or family emergency.
However, I take great personal offense at Obama’s total lack of character. The only way the MSM will cover this is for us, you and me, to send out a link to MM’s article about this incident (& every other gaffe Obama’s campaign feel compelled to make) and point out every chance we get that lack of moral oversight to everyone in our address books.
God bless Texas – it’s not out of the woods yet and the total devastation will not really be known for days.
True ‘dat! “I am Barack Obama, and I approved this message.”
No plausible deniablity here. I expect soon we will hear some version of, “It wasn’t me!”
Thanks Full
Obama: “That’s not the Obama I knew and approved”
Regarding Biden, I wonder if any members of the MSM will bother to look up the January 23, 1982 and the January 24, 1982 issues of the New York Times in which there were articles in which Biden berated Israel’s then Prime Minister Begin. Biden’s belittling of Begin was so disgraceful and disrespectful that Daniel Patrick Moynihan congratulated Begin on the way he faced down Biden. Biden had attempted to dress down Begin as if Begin was a middle school student and Biden was the school principal. Biden was apparently surprised when Begin refused to apologize to Biden and would not back down before Biden’s bombast. Interesting that Charlie Gibson, who manipulated and twisted Governor Palin’s words, has no interest in doing basic research into Joe Biden’s not so secret past. And I wonder if Gibson will ask Biden to name the members of the Biden family who actually worked as coal miners as Biden so famously claimed back in 1987.
Will Obama ever decide to throw himself under the bus? Even if he did take the moral highground for once, he’d claim later a Republican pushed him-or-took his words out of context-or-it was somehow racist-or-evil Fox News sandbagged him,-or-…… In his world, he’s always the victim and has learned to play it so well.
Obama knows no moral high ground. From Saul Alinsky: Ends Justify the Means

The reason why Obama won the Democrat’s nomination is the same reason he will lose the general election – he runs to win the Democrats. He hasn’t made the shift from running in the Democrat primary to the general public.
That is also why Hillary lost – she incorrectly assumed she had the Democratic nomination locked up, and tried to run a general election strategy during the primaries. Hillary corrected herself, but by then, it was too late, Obama had out-lefted her.
I simply disagree with those who think Obama still has a good shot at winning. Only something major could shift things now (like if the private investigators discover Palin is an axe-murderer). Apart from that, this election is over.
keep.it.up.
I’ve come to the conclusion that Churchill was an anomaly because he was half American. That’s where the guts came from.
It seems this campaign is beyond all repair , and Obamas’ people know it .I dont care about the issue itself , but someone commented elsewhere that McCain should be using voice activated tech to use computers. Does anyone have any input or info on this point ? just for the record , I just don’t care at all .
God, we pray Your truth shine down on the people of America and illuminate all that is evil.
Did he just throw himself under the bus?
Oh, yeah, there’s all sorts of technology to help users access/interact with a PC, Robroy. Voice recognition is one. Tapping at keys holding a pencil-like device attached to your head is another.
But, like you, I really don’t care at all since if he were applying for a data entry job at Hardware-R-Us or sumthin’, this would be a problem. But I tend to think that the President Of The United States dictates official correspondence to others instead of spending hours with word processing software himself.
And it’s not as if you can post a “shout out” to Kim Jong-il or Vladimir Putin at their MySpace page to ask if you can be on their “friends list”, either.
Hmmm…maybe Obama could cite that as hus top priority in he win – “Facebook for dictators” with no precondition for joining. Bigtime HopeNChange stuff.
24Klady, re: “In his (BHO’s) world, he’s always the victim and has learned to play it so well”.
Yes & his incessant whining is turning off a lot of people. I agree with Trollman, it’s over. And, the media’s massive yet transparent support is only going to further discredit them.
Obama is a dope. He may think he doesn’t need experience to be President because he simply is “the one” and who can argue with destiny huh? It maybe true that destiny trumps a bunch of stuff but I’m not sure about the propensity to self destruct. And of course, no working brain cells – that’s a problem.
Well, Obama at Invesco stadium certainly did not welcome those in wheelchairs who had difficulty getting in and deaf people who rely on sign language to communicate who were improperly placed in an ADA box when the sign language interpreter could barely be seen from a distance.

Karl Rove give’s it two more weeks.
Robroy, McCain’s injuries may prevent him from using a computer in a normal fashion but there are hundreds of adaptive technology programs that enable virtually anyone to use a computer. Hell, look at Stephen Hawking. So McCain could easily use a computer if he were so inclined but as far as it being a necessity to be President, as Obama’s ad suggests, that’s just ludicrous. I’m in the minority of people who don’t think the ad was a shot at McCain’s injuries. I think it was a shot at his age. And like I said before, a completely stupid one as McCain said in an interview less than two months ago that he does use a computer and go online.
Presidents don’t use email anyway, because it could be subject to subpoena.
Brooklyn red and Misscheryl – Bambi is going to need serious therapy when this ordeal is over…what with his familial abandonment issues, his completed narcistic view of himself, being told he was special and gifted his whole life by those typical white grandparents – and with his indoctrination as a socialist -how could he lose? His wife better keep her day job to pay for it.

You guys have me laughing myself silly, and with all that’s going on with Ike that’s a good thing!
Have to admit, back some months ago, I would never have thought the only man not afraid of a strong woman running mate would have been McCain. But then, he’s also married to one. Donk on head – what was I thinking?
Michelle O didn’t show up because she’s no longer proud of her country /sarc.
Thank God people are starting to see through Obama and Biden. I was actually kinda glad he picked Biden. Biden was bound to say/do something dumb sooner or later.
The only change that Obama is going for is changing his underwear.
“good” not “going” sheesh! sorry

Misscheryl, re: LOOOOSSSSEERRR!!
Maybe you are right, but more likely her handlers knew that with the first Fireman that yelled out “are you proud of your country now, b****?” it would be the Hiroshima of PR issues… Michelle Obama is not welcome at Ground Zero.
Brooklyn red, I hadn’t thought of that angle with MO and Ground Zero. Guess walking on water, healing planets and causing oceans to rise/fall doesn’t carry over to significant others?
Bing, bing, bing!
We have a winner!
People have been screaming about a Palin interview. They got one, much to the detriment of the Obama campaign. Now, can somebody interview Biden, too?
That never would have happened, especially not at the WTC. Firefighters have too much respect for the uniform to do that.
I met Pete Hegseth of Vets For Freedom last week (for the second time), and it is disgusting how little regard some people have for our veterans.
Below is my interview with him. He was in Iraq a couple week ago, so apparently he knows more than the Jayson Blair Times.

P.S. (Yesterday’s column, not today’s)
24Klady, Michelle Obama is not welcome at Ground Zero>.
But the fact that she stayed away suggests that perhaps she does fear a higher power. Too bad it is not the same one we do.
Mookie, re: “That never would have happened, especially not at the WTC. Firefighters have too much respect for the uniform to do that“.
No? I know one that was planning to…
Respect for uniform does come from love of country after all… Michelle Obama is NOT welcome at Ground Zero. Do I need to put that on a bumper sticker?
I would love someone to ask Obama why he thinks the price of oil is under $100 per barrel now. Obama said last summer that nothing the republicans could do would have an immediate effect on the price. How many uhhs and umms in that answer i wonder.
Ya know, I was going to spout my offense of Obama’s teams remark what with my injuries and all, but I decided… nah….. know what?…… They are the gift that keeps on giving, I’m gonna sit back and enjoy lgm and others squirm in their Buster Brown Poopy Pants.
Michelle Obama was probably wondering if it was good for her kids to go to Ground Zero.
MNUSMCDavid – know anyone that can photoshop a pic of Bambi in his Buster Brown Poopy Pants? I don’t wear tee shirts or put bumper stickers on my car – but in this case I’d make an acception to that rule.

Gosh i don’t know, but Lord I’d love to have someone do that…. the rights to the mental image I’d gladly forego…..rofl
Either way it was dumb, as you sez. Pushing the age thing netted Mondale only one state in 1984; his home state. And even there it was close. During their second debate Reagan pwnd Mondale with the line “I want you to know that also I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit for political purposes my opponent’s youth and inexperience.”
Obama’s campaign just doesn’t seem to understand the “backfire concept”.
What makes it truly silly is from the Obama’s camp point of view an internet addict or an uber-hacker would be the person best suited to be the leader of the free world!
You have to keep in mind a couple things. First off, not everyone shares the same level of interest and enthusiasm in “webstuff”. But if middle school kids were a huge voting block this might be an effective ad.
Also, I suspect someone who had suffered a great deal damage can use a PC, but it wouldn’t be “keyboarding” as we would think of it.
I still have at it with two fingers as I did in the 80s, when there were BBSystems , the precurser to today’s forums and other mediums of internet thought exchange. If I had to go about it with hands that had been severely abused I expect it would be quite painful. Aside from the inital damage, things like arthritis set in where they would otherwise not. Even people in otherwise perfect health get Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
So I’m thinking that in addition to his likely not having a great deal of interest in an “online life”, spending time keyboarding probably isn’t an enjoyable experience for McCain.
BTW I wasn’t sure anyone would know what I was referring to, given my age 58….lol
Doesn’t MM have a resident photoshopper? I’m thinking of little Bambi standing on a mountain, wearing short pants/big shoes/a floppy hat covering those precious ears….help me out guys. I was up all night.
I think the most important question here is this: Does McCain know what an lolcat is and can he has cheezburger? If the answer is no, I refuse to vote for him.
Ah, finally, someone who might know of Froggy and his magic twanger which I referenced in another thread a day or so back.
Yeah, but if McCain does know all about lolcats but has vowed to stop cheezburger funding, then you’d have a real dilemma.
purplepeep, Froggy and his magic twanger ??? The Adam Devine show no?
My grandmother told me all about it!
I see Drudge is noting this now, in the left hand column at his page.
Yeah a bit OT… but, it was Andy Devine and he’d say ” Pluck your magic twanger, Froggy” andFfroggy would appear… also had crusader rabbit, and that’s where Buster Brown commercials were, too….. Oh brother… honest I have all my hair and teeth….lol
Mookie,
While you are right that the firefighters would have comported themselves well and not yelled at Michelle Obama, remember, she’s a dem and a lefty and they Would do
something like that. Therefore, she expects everyone to act like she and her compadres would. That’s why she didn’t go.
She talks ugly about The One with most other women of her ilk (dems and leftists)
that she talks with. She is known to continously run him down and to even do this
in public. Apparently, she isn’t in awe of The One who will guide us out of the GW
Bush induced wilderness.
Words matter and Sen Obama was quoting Sen McCain himself. It would be one thing if Sen McCain said he was incapable of using a computer, and Sen Obama then said, ‘Sen McCain can’t even use a computer.’
Sen McCain said, ‘he does not know.’ Two entirely different things.
If you are looking to get insulted and/or offended, you most certainly will.
Words matter.
Just think, Obama said he was going to run a clean campaign. I wonder what he considers a dirty campaign.
Perhaps in the upcoming debates Obama can try to neutralize John McCain’s POW experience by talking about the horrors of using the internet. Like being exposed to goatse, 2 girls-1 cup, and endless references to Enumclaw.
purplepeep just re-read your #158. You make some great points.
Bambi’s personal attacks will be his undoing. They come off like the schoolyard bully or a sniveling little weasel running to the teacher to tattle, and usually being the real culprit. There just isn’t anything presidential in a bullying weasel.
Times, Politico: McCain Campaign Doesn’t Care About Negative Tone
Posted by Ashish on 09.13.2008
Times, Politico says McCain gave up on “honorable” campaign and now will do anything to win…
The New York Times and Politico both have pretty disappointing stories up about how the McCain campaign has basically decided to do whatever it takes to win and doesn’t care about whether their attacks are truthful or not.
“We recognize it’s not going to be 2000 again,” McCain spokesman Brian Rogers said. “But he lost then. We’re running a campaign to win. And we’re not too concerned about what the media filter tries to say about it.”
“We ran a different kind of campaign and nobody cared about us. They didn’t cover John McCain. So now you’ve got to be forward-leaning in everything,” he said.
It’s clear from both stories that the McCain campaign strategy now is to “flood” the next few weeks with false attacks, false charges, and whatever else they can use to keep the focus off of issues, Bush, and McCain’s own policies, and instead keep the focus on Obama’s responses to McCain attacks.
“Every day not talking about the economy, the war and how to fix a broken system is a victory for McCain,” said John Weaver, a former top strategist to the nominee who left the campaign last year. “They’re going to ride it as long as they can and as long as the mainstream media puts up every ridiculous charge.”
The risk here, of course, is that McCain gets exposed as a liar. But the thinking here is that McCain has been so engrained in the public’s image as an honorable hero, he can now say whatever he wants and people won’t question him.
Mr. Sipple, the Republican strategist, voiced concern that Mr. McCain’s approach could backfire. “Any campaign that is taking liberty with the truth and does it in a serial manner will end up paying for it in the end,” he said. “But it’s very unbecoming to a political figure like John McCain whose flag was planted long ago in ground that was about ‘straight talk’ and integrity.”
This isn’t exactly a new thing. Bush did the same thing in 2004, though not to this degree. It’s just very surprising for a guy like McCain, who claims to be so honorable and claims that he wouldn’t sellout on his principles to win an election, going out there and endorsing what has turned into perhaps the sleaziest campaign in awhile. If McCain ends up losing, he won’t have just lost an election, he will have lost his honor and everything he once stood for. I guess he thinks it’s worth the risk.
It appears that Obama and his supporters are actually stuck at the emotional maturity level of middle school kids.
MNUSMCDavid, re: “crusader rabbit” Awwww man! you said the “C” word! Dang! As I type this the ACLU is issuing a freakin fawtah…crap!
Don’t say the “c” word!!! or the “J” word, & for God’s sake not the “G” word! Oooops, now look what you have done!
Kokonut said:
Biden who?
Seriously, does anyone care about or pay attention to Obama’s VP pick? It is the same with Obama’s speech with all the fireworks and Greek columns – that is soooo yesterday.
Trollman, the McCain campaign needs more gaffes.
Kokonut said:
It doesn’t matter, the MSM is only interested in getting Palin gaffes. Biden could tell a crippled person to stand up, or Obama could say we ought to defer the Russia/Georgia situation to the UN where Russia has veto power, and no one would carry it.
Problem is that it’s predicted that McCain and Obama will be back in a statistical dead heat by the end on the month. From the looks of the numbers ther’re right. Obama could still win this thing.
Only if your trying to redeem something stupid your candidate said. Your justification is weak at best. Which also describes everything about the left.
Socialist, sexist, racist, and ageist. This is the change we deserve? Criminy, we must’ve really messed up somewhere.
And now we have this:

CO2 Producer said:
Even if McCain wins (and he might not) you have to immediately fight him on amnesty.
Nothing’s changed. It’s still war hero v. loser.
Obama must enjoy living on the edge of plausible deniability. It’s there for the mocking of the wounded veteran (“We didn’t fact check well enough”) but it’s not there for the ageism in the ad.
I like old people. Obama throws them under buses. Not nice and definitely not smart.
Goldwater Knight – I haven’t been McCain’s biggest fan, but now realize that we absolutely have to get him elected. MM’s Amnesty Warrior’s have to live to fight another day, and yes, I’ll be the first to send a fax, e-mail, or call the White House blasting whatever hair-brain scheme they come up with on Comprehensive Immigration… the catch-all for whatever you really want to do. Oh, and “yes we can” put a stop to it. We hold no cards with Obama.
I am not sure if this breaches some rule of internet etiquette, but I wanted to share this passage here. It was written by a poster at PowerLine, and to me, is one of the most succinct and accurate depictions of Barak Obama that I have yet to come across:
24Klady said:
We pressured McCain into picking Palin over Lieberman, so I am hopeful we can eventually force his hand on the illegal immigration issue. McCain seemed to really like all of the attention and support he received for picking Palin. Now all we have to do is convince him he can have that all over again if he builds the fence.
Six months from now when McCain is elected he’s going to turn right around and stick it in the conservative’s rear.
This is why McCain and Obama are headed straight back to a statistical dead heat in two weeks.
The only way Obama can flub that is attacking Sarah Palin. If McCain cam keep her in the line of fire he might win. If it doesn’t backfire somehow.
Goldwater Knight said:
I don’t have confidence that the polls will change like that, and even so, I have no confidence in the polls. Obama will lose.
I would hope so.
Obama will be Palininated. Resistance is futile.
What kind of immigration reform do the conservatives have anyway? Sounds to me like they’d like to have mass deportation but I guess it would have to start off simple like cutting off free services that I’m not even eligible for.
Jim M, your post of Obama is good and describes the symptoms. Bear 1909 posted a spot on description of him which explains the sickness. Wish he would put it up again.
Obama’s Toast.
Misscheryl, I’ll send bear your request.
Jim M #186 – that article just gave me chills. He writes what most ignore.
Trollman #187- McCain seemed like a beaming father introducing his daughter when he found she was so well received. I do believe we can make a difference in decisions on amnesty. IMHO, the only reason McCain wants the presidency is to prove he is worthy of the position by actual vote. In the meantime, we have to defeat Obama.
If you haven’t eaten dinner yet, here is the latest turd-bomb from the New York Slimes trying to tar and feather Governor Palin.
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/14/us/politics/14palin.html?_r=1&hp=&pagewanted=all&oref=slogin
A snarky tone, and bags full of innuendo with the occasional quote to protect the appearance of real journalism (Her assistant told a blogger that she should be ashamed of herself!! The governor hires people that she knows!!! She doesn’t consult career politicians on budgetary issues!!! She has a “penchant for attacking critics!!!” She fires officials who cross her!!!) She’s even responsible for getting her ex-brother-in-law fired as a state trooper!!! Of course, they left out that he tasered his 10-11 year old step-child.
The kooks will love it.
Jim M #186 – I forgot to ask for a link. Since I don’t frequent Powerline I’m handicapped in finding it.
AJ – nudge Bear into giving up his thoughts again as well. Bears (no pun intended) repeat reading. You have our permission on a choke hold if that’s what it takes.
Thanks AJ!
And all the others who’ve thanked me and the true heroes with whom I’ve served.
I can’t speak for others, but I’m always a little uncomfortable for being thanked for having the honor and priviledge to serve our country. I grew up as a second and third generation immigrant whose family history involves escaping tyranny on two separate occasions. We were taught to appreciate this country and the opportunities it gave us. Part of that appreciation was an obligation to serve the country. My father, great uncles and several of my cousins have served. I would continue to serve if that were the will of my service. It is, we were taught what any American who loves his country does.
