The idea is
When you're in a hole, you stop digging, not keep shoveling. The campaign of the Prophet Barack (Hope! Change! Waffles!) seems to have that lesson backwards.
First, they ran this commercial twitting McCain for being old and technologically un-hip:
"Fair enough," you might think. After all, the McCain campaign scored direct hits with their ads satirizing Obama's celebrity and ego. That is, until you learn that the reason McCain doesn't use computers much is that typing is painful for him because the North Vietnamese repeatedly broke his arms.
Ooops! Egg, meet face.
Let me be clear about this: I don't think for one moment that the Obama campaign was making fun of the torture suffered by an ex-POW (though he hasn't been afraid to play the race card). But, soon after McCain chose Sarah Palin and the experience issue rose again, Obama argued that running a presidential campaign gave him enough executive experience to be president.
Well, if this is an example of how well he manages his campaign (How long would it take for his well-managed researchers to find this on Google?), his operation of the Executive Branch should be a laugh riot.
More serious, to me at least, is Obama's direct questioning of John McCain's loyalty to the United States:
"Just ask the machinists in Pennsylvania who build Harley-Davidsons," Obama said of McCain's record. "Because John McCain didn’t just oppose the requirement that the government buy American-made motorcycles, he called Buy American provisions 'disgraceful.' Just ask the workers across this country who have seen their jobs outsourced. The very companies that shipped their jobs overseas have been rewarded with billions of dollars in tax breaks that John McCain supports and plans to continue.
"So, when American workers hear John McCain talking about putting 'Country First,'" Obama said, "it’s fair to ask –- which country?"
Hello? O Harbinger of the New, Post-Partisan Politics? Since when is it non-partisan to question your opponent's loyalty and patriotism?? And what in Hades made you think it was a good idea to question the patriotism of a bona fide war hero who gave more for his country than most of us (and you) ever will? Wasn't it just a few years back, in 2004, that Democrats were screaming "Don't you dare question my patriotism?" And now you say your opponent is loyal to a country other than America?
Barack Obama, meet Joe McCarthy:
