Are you really so dumb that you cannot see how the photos you provide prove the point? Look at his hands. As I said to Brent, I've been able to write with a broken thumb, but it was impossile to type. It all depends on what kind of hand disability he is suffering. The fact is, however, his inability to type emails was already common knowledge, as has been mentioned by those who know him, long before his campaign. Why would they just make this stuff up for no reason? It wasn't in response to Obama's ad.

His hands look quite normal for a man his age. Now, can you name the specific condition McCain supposedly suffers from or not?

Every typing course I've ever taken, the thumb is only used for the space bar. You can adjust for that by shifting a finger from either hand. In any case, your little anecdote is irrelevant.

Which neither you nor McCain have specifically named.

And? Unless someone can name the specific condition or show some sort of verifiable evidence that McCain's hands are so injured he can't use a keyboard I'm going with the much simpler explanation that he's just an old guy that isn't very tech savvy, which makes sense and doesn't require any explanation other then "he's old".


dartagnan wrote: Why would they just make this stuff up for no reason?


Yeah, why would a politician make anything up? I mean, they'd never do anything like that... Oh, wait, we're talking about a class of people whose profession could be aptly described as "professional attention whore".

Don't be so naïve.

Are you really this stupid? Everyone knows he has problems with his hands. You're going to sitthere and pretend he doesn't?
Now, can you name the specific condition McCain supposedly suffers from or not?

Condition? Like arthritis? Are you actually trying to be stupid now? He was shot down from his jet, fell to the earth, broke several bones that never received proper medical attention and were forced to heal improperly, and then he was tortured as a prisoner of war. This is common knowledge.

Learn to read once in a while and you might learn something:
"In 2000, Forbes magazine called [McCain] the ‘Senate's savviest technologist,'" Goldberg wrote. "That same year, Slate's Jacob Weisberg gushed that McCain was the most ‘cybersavvy' of all the presidential candidates that year, a crop that included none other than Al Gore. Being chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, Weisberg explained, ‘forced him to learn about the Internet early on, and young Web entrepreneurs such as Jerry Yang and Jeff Bezos fascinate him.'"

McCain never said he was incapable of typing, he only said it becomes too painful for him to do so. Anyone watching him do things with his right hand can clearly see he has difficulty with things like writing or handling the phone. Now you go into confirmation bias mode and pretend the picture says nothing about this. His four fingers seem to be tied together all the time. I suspect he has difficulty separating them, which would be necessary for any kind of feasible typing.
Yeah, why would a politician make anything up? I mean, they'd never do anything like that...

You are ignoring teh fact that this was made known many years ago. It was common knowledge. Now what could possibly be your explanation for the McCain's making up such a stupid thing? You actually believe he has been pretending to have a disability? Why are so many democrats so unbelievably stupid?

Until there's confirmation that he does have anything more serious then typical "old guy" arthritis, then yes. Seriously, do you actually go through life believing everything anyone tells you simply because they say so?

dartagnan wrote:Condition? Like arthritis? Are you actually trying to be stupid now?


Yeah, because POW camps cause arthritis. Idiot.

Where he fractures his arms and left leg, no damage reported by him mentioning his hands. Also notice that the man uses his hands for a lot of things that require fine dexterity quite often. But hey, why believe what you can see with your own eyes, just take his word for it.

Learning About Something != Being Able To Do That Thing, idiot. I'll believe he can use a PC when I see him doing so. Any asshole can read about something, but not every asshole can actually do it. If that was the case then Macintosh's whole point about how "simple" to use their computers are wouldn't be one of their key selling points.

Which gullible chimps like you attribute to "OMG POW TORTURE!" instead of "old guy, might have arthritis".


dartagnan wrote:Anyone watching him do things with his right hand can clearly see he has difficulty with things like writing or handling the phone.


Post video of this then. Seeing is believing.


dartagnan wrote:Now you go into confirmation bias mode and pretend the picture says nothing about this. His four fingers seem to be tied together all the time.


Hold out your hand and relax it, Dart. Notice how your hand naturally relaxes with the fingers together? I guess besides being a gullible tool you're also completely ignorant of basic human physiology too. I mean, for “F”'s sake, that's something you can verify on your own just looking at your own damned hand, moron.


dartagnan wrote: I suspect he has difficulty separating them, which would be necessary for any kind of feasible typing.


What sort of wacky ass keyboard are you using that requires you splaying out your fingers? Put your fingers over home row (left hand="ASDF", right hand="JKL;" for the typing impaired) and you'll see that for yourself too.


dartagnan wrote:You are ignoring the fact that this was made known many years ago. It was common knowledge.


Just because someone said something a long time ago doesn't give it credibility, jackass.


dartagnan wrote:Now what could possibly be your explanation for the McCain's making up such a stupid thing?


You mean besides being a professional attention whore, er... politician? For Christ's sake, McCain can't go ten minutes in a speech without reminding everyone that he was a POW. Man's worse about playing that POW crap then John Kerry was about reminding us all he was a "war hero".


dartagnan wrote: You actually believe he has been pretending to have a disability?


Until he names the specific disability, I don't believe either way and remain inclined to believe he's an old guy that isn't good with computers or typing.


dartagnan wrote:Why are so many democrats so unbelievably stupid?


Yes, because anyone that doesn't agree with your myopic asshole world view is automatically a "democrat". What next, you pathetic little piss ant? Take a page from the Drippy LaDouche playbook and scream "LIBERAL" at the screen? By all means, please toss out more ad hominems like a retarded howler monkey, they amuse me and give me an excuse for inventing new insults and toss them back at you. But unlike your silly little "RAR! DEMOCRAT!" ad hom crap, insults aren't a fallacy, you pedantic jackass.

Let me guess, you're one of those idiots who believe the US government was behind the 9-11 attacks, right?

I can't believe you're actually making these stupid arguments. I have never come across anyone else who believes you, so it isn't worth debating. It would be like debating someone who says the moon is made of cheese, and I should just believe my own eyes instead of what people tell me.

POW causes arthritis!!

Too rich.

See this, Class? When confronted with an argument that he can't just regurgitate standard issue GOP talking points, Dart has to resort to idiot ad hominems. This is because he and Droopy are identical twins separated at coathanger, er... birth.


dartagnan wrote:I can't believe you're actually making these stupid arguments.


And yet you can't come up with anything more substantive then repeating the same tired crap over and over like a good like Republidrone. If the McCain campaign came to a sudden halt you head would get lodged in their collective asses, moron.

And yet you keep replying like that poor mentally challenged kid the pushes from the pull side of the door.


dartagnan wrote:It would be like debating someone who says the moon is made of cheese, and I should just believe my own eyes instead of what people tell me.


And the best you can come up with is "look at hands!" or "well, he said something vague about his hands hurt years ago". Bring something substantive to the table for once and then you might have legs to stand on.


dartagnan wrote:POW causes arthritis!!

Which was your original claim, moron.

dartagnan, earlier in the thread wrote:McCain's inability to type emails hase been published in the news long before he was a presidential candidate. And yes, it was explained then, as it is today, that this is due to his injuries as a POW.

What argument? Your "argument" is that McCain must be lying about his injuries and for you it is inconceivable that he could have suffered anything more than arthritis as a POW, unless you have doctor's note saying otherwise. Not only that, so were the journalists who published about them years ago. They were lying too. As well as his family members and virtually everyone who has known him the last 35 years. It has all been a big show in your mind. And you can't even admit the photos you used undermine your stupidity.

According to you, this was just one big conspiracy. McCain has been pretending to be disabled with his hands all this time because somehow he knew it would be a good excuse 35 years down the road, for not being fond of typing emails. And how did McCain know about emails 35 years ago to begin with? Yea, you got one air-tight argument there dumbass.

You have no one on your side here idiot. Nobody. Nobody believes this except you. It is stupid to the core.

As far as talking points go, you're the one buying into the Obama nonsense without the slightest bit of critical thought. You take it for granted and insist he is right until someone hands you a doctor's note proving otherwise. For the rest of the free thinking world, we don't need a doctor's note to know this is a bunch of horse crap.

You're not even worth wasting time on.

Exactly, unless you have a Medical Doctor diagnose a condition I will call BS. So either name the specific condition, Dart, or shut the “F” up, you whiny little GOP cunt. You keep making claims, you keep back peddling, but you still haven't shown any actually evidence. Just more BS about "Oh, welll he said so!"


dartagnan wrote:Not only that, so were the journalists who published about them years ago. They were lying too. As well as his family members and virtually everyone who has known him the last 35 years. It has all been a big show in your mind.


And between all of them, not a single one can name a specific condition beyond "Um... He was POW?"


dartagnan wrote:And you can't even admit the photos you used undermine your stupidity.


You mean pictures of his hands that show perfectly normal hands for a 72 year old man? By all means, Dr. Dart, wow me with your astute House-like diagnosis based solely on a damned picture... Oh, and where's that video evidence you said you had in your last post?


dartagnan wrote:According to you, this was just one big conspiracy.


Show where I ever claimed there was a conspiracy, liar. So you can't back any of your claims with documented fact or anything more meaningful then "uh, he said so?" you now have to invent lies to defend your idiotic crap, boy?


dartagnan wrote:McCain has been pretending to be disabled with his hands all this time because somehow he knew it would be a good excuse 35 years down the road, for not being fond of typing emails.


I know McCain is disabled, I'm saying it's not his hands that are disabled. You got evidence to the contrary? Let's see you, you dishonest little GOP whore.


dartagnan wrote:And how did McCain know about emails 35 years ago to begin with?


Nice try, but redherring BS doesn't fly, boy.


dartagnan wrote:Yea, you got one air-tight argument there dumbass.


Which is why you still haven't shown anything to back your claims, like the video you said you had in your last post, oh slurper of republican cock?


dartagnan wrote:You have no one on your side here idiot. Nobody. Nobody believes this except you. It is stupid to the core.


Yes, because Dart speaks for the tribe... Let me know when you get done feltching the local GOP committee chair there, Sport.
