Obamas McCain ad

One September 11th, 2008 the Obama Campaign posted and/or aired a commercial critical of Senator John McCain in reference to McCains age. In t he commercial it is mentioned Senator McCain does not know how to use the Internet or send an email. The blogosphere went buzzing with criticism concerning the insensitivity of this commercial by the Obama campaign.

Then on September 14th, 2008 The Boston Globe issued an article in an attempt to provide cover for the Obama Campaign. This article written by Bryan Bender of The Boston Globe, writes in part,

..including stories several years ago in the Boston Globe and Slate.com that indicated injuries McCain sustained when he was a prisoner of war in Vietnam prevent him from using a keyboard.

The key word in the article was indicated. That Boston Globe article written several years ago, appeared in The Boston Globe on March 4th, 2000, written by Mary Leonard. Here is in part what Ms. Leonard wrote in that article,

McCains severe war injuries prevent him from combing his hair, typing on a keyboard, or tying his shoes.

Did you read anything in the above 2000 article which gave the impression of indicated? This is an example of the news media providing cover for the insensitivity in the Obama Campaign and the stupidly of The Boston Globe.

Both candidates have a YouTube channel. The commercial mentioned in this video by
