Anyone aware of this?
It's starting to stir the freepers because of Obama's new ad with comments about McCain not using a computer or send email.

McCain gets emotional at the mention of military families needing food stamps or veterans lacking health care. The outrage comes from inside: McCain's severe war injuries prevent him from combing his hair, typing on a keyboard, or tying his shoes. Friends marvel at McCain's encyclopedic knowledge of sports. He's an avid fan - Ted Williams is his hero - but he can't raise his arm above his shoulder to throw a baseball.

13. Yeah, that's weak, but then so are the minds of swing voters
who are clearly indifferent to the substantial problems of McCain's ticket. So who's to say what irrelevant nonsense they'll hop on board? :shrug:

4. Take the keyboard off the top of the monitor and put it on the desk
and you won't have to raise your arms above your head to use it dufus!

6. That's BS! If he can write a not, or sign his name, he can use a
f'in keyboard! Last I checked, you don't hold a keyboard over your head!

8. With that comb-over...
Somebody must do it.

I'm sure he can use a computer. Many computer keyboards and mice are designed differently to be more accessible. Point is he's 72 years old and out of touch with the real world.

Christ, he isn't completely helpless.

12. His arms don't bend at the elbow?
you don't have to reach down, or up to type. And if he can't even type, then can he write with a pencil? If he can't even write to sign his name, then he has no business running. He needs go to one of those places where others take care of invalids.

18. hot air comment
Didn’t it ever occur to them that a man who can’t raise his arms above his head might have a physical barrier to using a computer?

http://hotair.com/archives/2008/09/12/why-cant-mccain-email/

Why would he have to lift his arms above his head to use a keyboard? Freepers...:freak:
