[zulchzulu]

What an absolute bullshit excuse. So what if McCain says he checks out his daughter's blog.

1. His war injuries prevent him from extending and moving a finger?

Damn. That must suck. Obviously he can't feed himself either. Or use a phone. Or point to things on a Chinese menu. Or point at anything for that matter. Endeavor to persevere, John McCain.

[lligrd]

6. Worse Than That - How Can He Protect Us

if he can't press the button? :rofl:

[CoffeeCat]

2. DUers have posted pictures of McCain...

texting.

He's lying. Plain and simple.

This needs to be made into an ad. Show Rove lying for McCain, then show McCain texting. This
would demonstrate that Rove is using McCain's POW status as a marketing gimmick.

His these bastards back hard.

[Sodan]

3. McCain disagrees

"The wingnuts are in a frenzy over Obama's ad mocking McCain's lack of technical intellect. They are all coming to his defense saying he can't use a keyboard because of injuries he received as a POW. That is an interesting argument, but if he can't use a full sized computer keyboard, then how can he use a cellphone or blackberry? Well there's pictures of him using those devices on the Huffiington Post.

I also find it really interesting that Glenn Reynolds, the tech man of the wingnut blogosphere, also is playing so deep into this. Shouldn't someone who is so into the tech world realize there are plenty of alternate input devices made for people that have disabilities such as this? There are special mice, keyboards and even voice recognition.

Of course there is one other key piece that really punctures a hole in the new outrage by the wingnuts. That hole is McCain himself. He admitted in July of this year that he is now trying to learn to use a computer. Now why would McCain admit to that when he could simply claim POW instead? It sounds like even McCain doesn't believe what is coming out of the wingnuts now"

4. Is Rove TRYING to paint McCain as a whiny asshole or is it just by accident?

[Bread and Circus]

5. I was just thinking the same thing. If anything this makes McCain look kinda weak

[spag68]

7. Mc Same

From what I have read about him, it is more likely that his early and often abuse of alcohol inhibits his use of a computer more then his war injuries.

[FVZA_Colonel]

8. They prevent him from speaking, and thus using voice recognition software?

[silverojo]

13. That's just what I thought

Jesus Christ, my aunt (who was severely weakened with terminal heart failure) used her PC to go online literally half an hour before she died.

Let's be honest...McSame can't use a computer because he's FUCKING STUPID, pure and simple.

[CoffeeCat]

9. If he can punch in numbers on a phone...

...using one hand, I think he could handle a keyboard.

More lies from Pig Vomit.

[truthisfreedom]

10. Doesn't stop him from working through an assisant. There's plenty of people in his staff.

They can certainly appoint an intern to help him type stuff into "the google."

[truthisfreedom]

11. Hey wait a minute... where's that picture of McCain sitting at a computer in the 70's or 80's?

It's an old word-processor.

[NYC_SKP]

12. For an incompetent, incontinent, incapacited old wreck of a man,

he sure knows how to fuck up a country.

[casus belli]

14. If Stephen Hawking can manage...

then McCain doesn't really have an excuse.

[Raine]

15. That's complete and total BULL SHIT!!! I have a friend who

does it by voice, if the fool can speak he can use a computer. I admit though you do need to have a brain.

[McCamy Taylor]

16. There are computers for people who can not use their hands.

[curious one]

17. It seems the war injuries are really bad and McLame can't function properly. Or it is his excuse for

everything. Now question is how he can function as president.

[w4rma]

18. If Dr. Hawking can use a computer with his disability, I think anyone can.

19. I wonder if the MSM will pick this up...
