Senator Obama is a good and decent man. However, he has been advised to start “attacking” John McCain.
Fine.
Politics is a contact sport. Earlier today I commented that his “McCain is old” commercial was a dumb attack, because it would alienate older voters.
Now I discover that it was a grossly tasteless and offensive commercial since:
1. it accuses John McCain of not using a computer or sending email . . .
2. the media has long reported that this is because he cannot use a keyboard due to his severe war injuries.
This was unintentional, but utterly stupid. Why didn’t someone check this? Was it because they did not know McCain was a POW?
I take no joy in watching Senator Obama’s campaign act self-destructively. Nobody wants to win because his opponent decided to attack him for being wounded in service to his country.
