"Some video evidence that may suggest McCain is playing the POW card too much and exaggerating just what he can and cannot do with injuries he received as a POW in Vietnam"

1. Unbelievable!
There are people who have had their hands mangled in industrial accidents that can use a fucking keyboard.

What an asshole...I can't believe the crap these MSM morons spew out over the airwaves.

Of all the silly BS i've heard during this campaign...this takes the cake.

Blame everything on the Hanoi Hilton.

Where is CNN's Bill Moron getting this information?

2. Have they ever
Explained exactly what physical limitations caused by his injuries prevent his use of the computer?

Between his personal fortune and the full resources of the government you'd think there could be some ergonomic or voice recognition software solution to compensate.

My grandfather is of the same generation and he just doesn't like using a computer.

Such an answer from McCain would be forgivable, hiding behind his POW status just makes him look silly.

4. a comment on youtube:
"The VC did not break his arms and legs,

He did when he failed to follow proper Ejection procedures ....In his panic to bailout he didn't tuck in his arms as instructed and Brock them exiting the plane. U.S. News and World Report, May 14, 1973 article written by former POW John McCain

Having been rehabilitated, by late 1974, McCain had his flight status reinstated, and in 1976 he became commanding officer of a training squadron. Wikipedia.

He can fly, but not type..NOT, FAKER FAKER FAKER ! "




I never heard of this before...why? Why isn't this more known?
