September 13, 200818 yr Isn't the reason he doesn't send email is that he can't use a keyboard because of the relentless beatings he received from the Viet Cong in service to our country? Nicely done Barack. Technically, the beatings were delivered by his North Vietnamese captors (he was shot down over North Vietnam) - but the injuries that he sustained following his capture are the reason that he does not use a keyboard to send email messages. Of course, Obama apologists may point to Steven Hawking's use of a computer despite his debilitating disease and accuse McCain of being a pansy. :lol: It will be interesting to see if the McCain campaign responds to the Obama ad directly or just let the objective members of the media report Obama's insensitive blunder.
September 13, 200818 yr No....he just doesn't understand the technology. Fact or opinion, and please provide some proof.
September 13, 200818 yr Author No....he just doesn't understand the technology.Proof to back that claim? And please, something other than the Huffinton Post.
September 13, 200818 yr No....he just doesn't understand the technology.Link? Please feel free to cite proof from the Huffington Post, Daily Kos, MoveOn.org, Democratic Underground, or any of the Soros-funded web sites. :lol:
September 13, 200818 yr He stated himsef that he needs to work on the new technology and that his daughter gets more hits on her personal website then his campaign does.

None of them mention a physical inability.
September 13, 200818 yr Isn't the reason he doesn't send email is that he can't use a keyboard because of the relentless beatings he received from the Viet Cong in service to our country? Nicely done Barack. Can I get some evidence on that? Wouldn't that mean he also couldn't write? Couldn't eat with a fork or spoon? Turn the pages of a book?
September 13, 200818 yr Author DD & UKPat, don't you both think it was pretty classless about the email considering he can't really use a keyboard because of the beatings he took? Put your political affiliations aside for this question.

September 13, 200818 yr Author Can I get some evidence on that? Wouldn't that mean he also couldn't write? Couldn't eat with a fork or spoon? Turn the pages of a book?McCain’s severe war injuries prevent him from combing his hair, typing on a keyboard, or tying his shoes. Sixth paragraph from the bottom. Good enough for you?
September 13, 200818 yr McCain’s severe war injuries prevent him from combing his hair, typing on a keyboard, or tying his shoes. Sixth paragraph from the bottom. Good enough for you? One article from 2000? I'm still not buying it. I'll repeat what I said earlier, wouldn't this also mean he can't eat with a fork or spoon? Write? Use a knife? Turn the pages of a book? He talks in other articles how he uses a computer. You can't tell me he's never typed. He may not be as good or as fast of a typer as some people, but that's no excuse for being internet-ignorant. If I'm wrong and he can't type, then yes, it is a classless ad on Obama's part. But I'd say they did their research before they put that ad out.

I guess you're possibly the type person this ad targets, for me, it's inexcusable.
