It's funny to mock people with disabilities.

The Obama campaign hit a new low last week running an ad that mocks John McCain because the senator from Arizona does not use e-mail.

According to a story from the Boston Globe in 2000, John McCain does not use e-mail or use the internet because the injuries he sustained during his five and a half years in a POW camp make it difficult to use a keyboard. Hot Air has more. Oh, McCain can't comb his hair and tie his shoes without help, either. I suppose that's funny, too.

For those Obama defenders out there who will claim that the Obama campaign didn't know McCain has a disability, it doesn't hold up. You'd have to believe Obama and his campaign are stupid and ill-informed to say that. They aren't stupid. Just dirty.

I guess Barack Obama can now claim two qualifications for president: Community organizer and e-mailer.

As recent polls show McCain moving ahead in the poular vote and electoral college, I guess we can expect the Obama campaign to hit more lows in the last fifty-odd days of the campaign.
