Twitter fight on Capitol Hill

Yea I remember the super intelligent and tolerant liberals that attempted to make fun of McCain and tried to paint him
as an information system illiterate.

Typical for most liberals,they have to lie,cut-and-paste information for their bigoted ignorance to make sense:

Wondering No More [Jonah Goldberg]

Yep. The day after 9/11, as part of its “get tough” makeover, the Obama campaign is mocking John McCain for not using a computer, without caring why he doesn’t use a computer. From the AP story about the computer illiterate ad:

“Our economy wouldn’t survive without the Internet, and cyber-security continues to represent one our most serious national security threats,” [Obama spokesman Dan] Pfeiffer said. “It’s extraordinary that someone who wants to be our president and our commander in chief doesn’t know how to send an e-mail.”

Well, I guess it depends on what you mean by “extraordinary.” The reason he doesn’t send email is that he can’t use a keyboard because of the relentless beatings he received from the Viet Cong in service to our country. From the Boston Globe (March 4, 2000):

McCain gets emotional at the mention of military families needing food stamps or veterans lacking health care. The outrage comes from inside: McCain’s severe war injuries prevent him from combing his hair, typing on a keyboard, or tying his shoes. Friends marvel at McCain’s encyclopedic knowledge of sports. He’s an avid fan – Ted Williams is his hero – but he can’t raise his arm above his shoulder to throw a baseball.

Yea,smearing a POW war veteran showed a lot of class.
Typical childish behavior from such “smart people”.

I suppose super smart Blumenauer is not familiar with the past liberal messiah that didn’t use a blackberry either:

Bill Clinton doesn’t own a BlackBerry? WTF.

I was reading my August 2008 issue of Vanity Fair on July 9, and was surprised by this news in Gail Sheehy’s Hillary Clinton campaign post-mortem:

Trippi was appalled that the Clinton machine stuck with a top-down, status-quo campaign. But the Clintons were out of touch with new forms of communication. Bill Clinton still doesn’t use e-mail or own a BlackBerry.

If Blumenauer did a little more reading than idiotic ranting,he might know that it was the democratic party that
praised McCains information technology skills:

Trippi Praised McCain’s “First Bold Attempt To Harness The Power Of The Internet”

The man behind the Howard Dean’s Internet operations, Joe Trippi, details where he got his inspiration in his book, The Revolution Will Not Be Televised: Democracy, the Internet, and the Overthrow of Everything

I closely followed John McCain’s insurgent Republican presidential bid in 2000, the first national campaign to attempt to make use of the Internet.

The Dean campaign and all that we accomplished was made possible by the ideas and hard work of countless others who came before us: From Gary Hart’s brilliant concentric circle organizing strategy to John McCain’s first bold attempt to harness the power of the Internet, there are staff members and candidates who plowed the terrain and helped create what we were able to build.

But democrats don’t care about facts,just their “FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEElings”.

If Blumenauer is so dam# smart,he needs to get on his blackberry and figure out to pay for his pet projects himself instead of bleeding taxpayers with their wasteful pork projects.

1. I am a man
2. I use Twitter – click my link
3. I use my real name on my twitter account
4. I can fight liberal smears on my own
5. I am plugged into a network of thousands of conservative followers who are now allowing the GOP to attract the young, tech savvy people it so desperately needs.
6. Besmirch web 2.0 tools all you want, but I am helping advance my party, whether you want to realize it or not.

You are dead on with this and I thank you for your leadership.

Imagine the poor flunky who had to sit and teach Grandpa McAngry how to use the internets. Not an enviable job.

Imagine if you could read and not make such a fool out of yourself:

I am willing to bet that McCain has accomplished more in his lifetime than you ever will.
