Reassure me on McCain's computer use and POW injuries

[Marsala]

I've seen some of the right-wingers saying that McCain can't use a keyboard because of his arm injuries. Is this true, or just more lies?

1. Unless the keyboard is above his shoulders it is a lie

If you can write you can hit a keyboard, and we know he can write.

[Marsala]

3. Okay, thanks.

I thought so. Also, the McCain campaign would have jumped all over it immediately if it were true.

[TwilightGardener]

Yeah, he has to use a pen in his mouth to tap on the keys--it's exhausting, takes hours...

2. f***er couldn't fly a plane all that good with two good arms...

4. He had no problem holding that birthday cake while NO

drowned. Why don't you post that picture and ask them to explain what is wrong with his arms?

6. You're not serious

do you have any idea what the computer has done for the disabled? Just ask Stephen Hawking. Or are you suggesting McCain is disabled? I'm confused.

[Marsala]

8. I was serious, but obviously shouldn't have been

A minor paranoia attack.

13. well, he does get $58000 per year in disability payments.

money he really needs in order to survive.

7. 2 words.... Stephen Hawking.

[BlueIdaho]

17. No. Shit.

[tabatha]

9. If he can eat with a knife and fork - he can type.

A knife and fork requires motion from the table to the mouth - typing does not.

10. McCain is on video describing himself as computer illiterate.

He said nothing about being unable for physical reasons. Scroll down here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/06/11/mccain-admits-he-doesnt-k_n_106478.html

11. McCain can do the heil Hitler salute very well - was doing it at the convention last week.

[samuraiguppy]

12. bullshit

you don't have to hold your hands over your head to use a fucking keyboard.

besides--he CAN put his hands over his head--there are plenty of pics of him doing it.

can we please put a stop to playing the "POW" card.

[ncteechur]

14. He could use voice recognition software--oh, I forgot, it doesn't recognize lies.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

15. He can't raise his arms above his head because of the POW injuries.

But that definitely doesn't prevent him from being able to use a computer.

[Politicub]

16. Well, your first problem is listening to right wingers

Those people are fucking stupid, mate.

[treestar]

18. Right wingers make stuff up

That just seemed like a bright idea to one of them.

They don't bother to look into whether it is true or not. They just think it up and put it into the mix!
