From <a href=\"http:\/\/perfunction.typepad.com\/perfunction\/2008\/09\/obama-disabled.html\" target=\"_blank\">Cuffy Meigs<\/a> we see how Obama is willing to make fun of John McCain because of the injuries he suffered after ejecting from his aircraft after being shot down (hint: think about that for a second. You&#8217;re cruising along a the speed of sound and suddenly stop and fall a few thousand feet&#8230;it&#8217;s not the cakewalk it looks like on TV) and beaten by his captors and refused medical attention for a couple of years. Now he can&#8217;t manipulate his fingers to type&#8230;har-di-har-har.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.chicagotribune.com\/news\/nationworld\/chi-wesley-clark-john-mccain-080630-ht,0,583028.story\" target=\"_blank\">Wesley Clark said back in June that McCain<\/a>&#8216;s time as a prisoner doesn&#8217;t give any special insight to being president. Maybe John McCain&#8217;s time as a prisoner didn&#8217;t make him presidential material, but the training he got at Annapolis and the years after his capture as a military officer give him a leg up on a &#8220;community organizer&#8221; as far as leadership and decision-making&#8230;well, to every one except a community organizer.<\/p>\n<p>And did I mention that <a href=\"http:\/\/newsbusters.org\/blogs\/warner-todd-huston\/2008\/09\/11\/newest-palin-attack-son-vandalized-busses-forced-join-military-n\" target=\"_blank\">Track Palin was arrested in a vandalism ring <\/a>a few years ago and part of his plea deal was to go in the Alaska National Guard? Evidence? We don&#8217;t need no stinkin&#8217; evidence. Everyone knows that the military is just jam-packed with criminals.<\/p>\n<p>And idiots.

Then Bill Clinton kicked veterans 65 and over off of TriCare and put them on Medicare to save more money (George Bush gave it back, by the way).<\/p>\n<p>But, hey, the Democrats accepted a letter from the IVAW, so I guess we can trust them to take care of vets now, right?<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATED:<\/strong> Parody video from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scrappleface.com\/?p=3108\" target=\"_blank\">Scrappleface<\/a> (h\/t <a href=\"http:\/\/bloodthirstyliberal.com\/?p=7158\" target=\"_blank\">Bloodthirsty Liberal<\/a>&#8216;s Aunt Agatha)<\/p>\n<p>[youtube DR0k_-IFqJk nolink]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, if we didn&#8217;t know before, we know now what the Democrats think of veterans.
