I see the repugs are trying to portray mccain as unable to use the

[EC]

computer because he's a cripple....well Stephen Hawkings has no problem with it...how could a man even realize the possibilities of technology if he can't use it?

[pdxmom]

So they too think McCain is a liar, huh? He said in a NY Times interview

that he was learning to use the Internet and his favorite website was his daughter's blog.

1. They used the word "cripple?"

McCain himself has already bragged that he is learning how to "log on." They are so full of shit.

4. This is one of the most pathetic playing of the POW Crutch I've seen from them.

If his fingers work well enough to dial phones and blackberries, they work well enough to use a keyboard. The hunt and peck method of typing only requires one finger from each hand.

Everything that comes out of McPOW Camp is a lie.

6. Exactly.... he can raise his arms and use his fingers well enough

5. I suppose he can't feed himself either, poor guy. Must be rough, having to have

Cindy feed him all his meals. How does he handle his travels? Does he have a special feeder, or does he just ask the person next to him?

:sarcasm:


Using a knife, fork, and spoon and bringing a loaded implement to the mouth is much harder than typing on a keyboard.

Ask any one year old.

7. I'm a computer programmer with

hernias in my neck that make it impossible for me to raise my arms above my head when the hernias are particularly swollen. I haven't missed a day of work due to this condition outside if the initial injury which was sustained in a bus accident.

So this is complete crap.

Also, I wonder if the reason he can't raise his arms above his head really have to do with the torture inflicted on him in Viet Nam. I would be more inclined to believe that he sustained neck injuries in the plane crash and that it was never treated properly. (Of course, this would be a form of torture I guess.)

Does anyone know if there was a common practice of torture in Viet Nam that would have resulted in John's condition? Because I'm wondering if he hasn't stretched the true on this to win sympathy votes. It's a great visual for that purpose.

And it's not just because John McCain is a serial liar. I'm just wondering.

8. POW! POW! POW!

For such a hero he sure does whine a lot.

Hey, if high quads and folks with locked in syndrome can surf the net, Republican senators can do it, too.
