McCain also said he didn't use computers much. He was mocked for that. The reason why he can't use it much, is arm pain from war wounds.
To you and Pete, it's fair game that Obama attacked him for his POW experience, but it was bad that Trump did it.
Liberal=good, conservative=bad, no exceptions, not ever.

seem you can't keep score very well
in your world you see Liberals 10 Conservatives 100 as a tie game
Funny Trump lashed out at spike lee. (butt hurt) but said nothing about North korean news story
Korean state media on Sunday reportedly blamed Democrats and U.S. intelligence officials for undercutting this week's summit between President Trump
Funny Trump and and the usual suspects have no issue with it .. they think it's the truth anyway

I knew about his arm injuries but never that it prohibited him from email. Sounds like you’re conflating things.

Can you tell me exactly what he said because I don't recall Obama insulting McCain for his pow experience? I wonder how McCain got past it since they had Obama talk at his funeral.

Scroll up a little bit, I posted the commercial.
McCain forgave Obama. Doesn't mean it didn't happen, doesn't mean it's not a naked hypocrisy for democrats to hold Trump accountable and give Obama a pass.

Once again you quote a not quite true story, he admitted to being a bit of a Luddite. Lots of people are and get picked on for it, without suffering permanent damage to their ego.
What Trump said about McCain was but one of many far out of line statements he has consistently made.
Your ability to consistently what about in Don the Cons defense amazes me.
Lucky McCain didn’t have bone spurs, then he probably would have been really infirm.

I no way did he insult McCain for his injuries, even the Daily Caller didn't make that far fetched connection.
"The 2008 Obama ad, entitled “Still,” ridicules McCain for his professed inability to handle email as a communication forum.
“1982,” a somewhat angry, somewhat patronizing male voiceover in the ad begins, as a disco ball spins.
“John McCain goes to Washington. Things have changed in the last 26 years,” the voice says, as viewers see a Rubik’s cube, a hoary desktop computer and a woman answering a hugely thick mobile telephone.
“But McCain … hasn’t,” the disembodied voice intones. “He admits he still doesn’t know how to use a computer, can’t send an email.”
The ad then goes on to accuse McCain of failing to understand economics and favoring corporate tax cuts.
But as usual, you spend your time defending Don the Con with butthurt imaginary issues.

The fact that you keep saying this, shows how either dishonest, or unhinged, you are.
I despise him. I have more reason to despise him than you do. But I criticize him for things he actually says and does, and I don't criticize him for things that I'm fine when others do.
When I point out the naked hypocrisy, you accuse me of whataboutism. So the problem isn't that you're a hypocrite, the character flaw is mine for pointing out rank hypocrisy.
Try. Making. That. Wrong.
Look no further than the kids in cages issue, no liberals gave a damn when Obama did it, no one even knew Obama was doing it, and if anyone knew, they sure didn't care. But when Trump did it, then it became immoral, then it was a crisis!!!!!
Same with the wall, which was swell in 2006 and in 2013, but now it's unnecessary, now walls don't work, and not only that, walls are racist and immoral!!!
I'm not asking you to be Sean Hannity and lick Trumps boots. But it would be nice if you stuck to actual ethical lapses (of which there are more than enough to keep you busy), and if possible, don't criticize him for things you gave Obama a pass for. Or at least explain the discrepancy?

Prior to Trump the policy during both the Bush and Obama administrations was to separate children from parents who were criminals.
Trump policy charged ALL parents and separated ALL children.
This is the same thing I tell you every time you bring it up, apparently you see no difference.
Same with the wall, which was swell in 2006 and in 2013, but now it's unnecessary, now walls don't work, and not only that, walls are racist and immoral!!!
WALLS are not needed perhaps fences in some locations, I personally just want to see what the plan is, and have more than Trump supplicants say it is needed. I do think Trump is racist and immoral, so perhaps his WALL is guilty by association.

Who in the Obama campaign or administration was charged with a crime or convicted of one?
I do find it comical that Trump chooses the place he avoided as a young adult by lying about his health to meet with the man he loves.
Are they having a bad hairstyle convention.
