McCain: “I invented the Blackberry.”
I love it when a meme takes hold in the zeitgeist. McCain is now labeled forever as a dishonorable liar who will say anything, and I mean anything, to get what he wants. Sometimes memes take hold that are not true. We all remember Al Gore, and how the right wing pushed the line that Gore was a liar because he said that he invented the internet.
Well, payback is a bitch, and this time, liberals have the truth on their side. For it is a fact that John McCain is a dishonorable liar, a man who has traded all of his integrity in order to win the Presidency. Further proof of this is the fact that McCain’s advisors are now saying that John McCain invented the Blackberry.
Move over, Al Gore. You may lay claim to the Internet, but John McCain helped create the BlackBerry.
At least that’s the contention of a top McCain policy adviser, Douglas Holtz-Eakin. Waving his BlackBerry personal digital assistant and citing McCain’s work as a senator, he told reporters Tuesday, “You’re looking at the miracle that John McCain helped create.”
You can hear the world laughing.
“I can see Russia from my BlackBerry.”
It can hold 8GB of lies.
My Blackberry was a POW.
The prototype was made of bamboo. He kept it under a coffee pot.
LOL. Hysterical.
But shame on McCain for not noting that his guard sketched out a Blackberry concept in the dirt of the exercise yard one Christmas.
Josh Marshall at TPM reports this response from Reed Hundt (former FCC Chair):
“John McCain is so out of touch that his economics adviser thinks he deserves credit for creating a Canadian company.”
Like many of his planes, McCain’s campaign appears to be in flames.
Rethugs love the Gore thing, even though what Al said happened to be TRUE.
So these ‘intelligent’ people on the right mock the truth, but get all pissy when you call out their lies. They are cowards of the highest order and unfit to lead.
Ridiculous. The whole article is discredited as a partisan hack job, because it includes this:
“McCain has acknowledged that he doesn’t know how to use a computer and can’t send e-mail, one of the BlackBerry’s prime functions.”
No, McCain knows perfectly well how to use a computer, and to read and send e-mail, but his injuries make it painful to type on a keyboard for any length of time.
What’s next? “John McCain is out of touch with America, because the clock on his VCR still flashes “12:00″ and besides, who still has a VCR anyway?”
I invented the question mark.
This is no more ridiculous than Al Gore inventing the Internet. And repeating it ad nauseum, even tho most of the repeaters knew it to be completely ridiculous.
I love how Republicans flip issues they have used to bludgeon Democrats. For example…
–Republican drug addicts deserve support and understanding.
–Republican candidates’ churches are off limits.
–Republican pregnant teens are no reflection of their parents’ family values.
McCain believes, as he stated in a Science questionnaire, that he’s “uniquely qualified” to lead us in these tech-driven times because he flew plans 40 years ago!
Nothing more recent; just dials and instruments he relied on from engineers over 40 years ago!
But let’s not forget that for over 5 years McCain was unable to practice these revolutionary technologies!
times because he flew plans 40 years ago!
You mean the planes he repeatedly crashed. Hell, I can crash my PC once a day, guess that makes me qualifed to run Microsoft.
Palin: Blackberries! Yup got some bushes in my back yard…ooohh I made a funny…bushes!
Rick Jenson: The economy its all semantics!
Blitzer said 1000 banks are in trouble…don’t know bout you but I am headed there today..taking my few hundred out.
Tin can in the backyard looking better all the time. If there is only 50B in protection when the banks go belly up…that wont cover the billions people are losing.
London and overseas banks are all involved in this banking mess, which means this could turn into a world wide depression.
GRex…
You are pathetic. Are you denying the advisor said it? If you are, go to the Page or to Drudge, or to CNN. This story is all over the place.
All your chickens are coming home to roost, GRex. You live by the sword, you die by it.
DD — your post needs this graphic from Americablog.
“Are you denying the advisor said it?”
Nope, I don’t have to. The author didn’t provide any context, so it could have been a joke. Doesn’t matter anyway, because the author used the “McCain doesn’t know how..” lie, exposing his bias. There could have been folks laughing their heads off, like when Reagan did the “We begin bombing in five minutes” line.
“You are pathetic. Are you denying the advisor said it? If you are, go to the Page or to Drudge, or to CNN. This story is all over the place. ”
And when McCain’s campaign chief was asked about it he laughed and told the reporter they were the butt of a fellow staffers joke.
But there are those damn facts getting in the way of liberal spin again.
I love how you are talking about the issues! What a fucking joke you are!
How sad.
Fellow staffer’s joke? Maybe.
Kinda like the way fundamentals came to mean American workers? Honestly, it’s becoming increasingly hard to figure out when the McCain camp is telling the truth.
