Karl Rove just said that McCain can't use a computer due to war injuries!

[zulchzulu]

On Fox News Sunday, Rove made the remark.

So McCain can't type because of his war injuries? Can he sign bills? Can he use a pen?

:rofl:



It looks like McCain's hands work... let's see McCain not be able to type...

[stray cat]

1. Brain damage - he is no longer capable of learning anything new

[WattleBreakfast]

26. Ding!, Ding!, Ding!, Ding! .......

And BINGO!, we have a winner.

This man's world view is so fucked up. A direct symptom of simply never expanding his existence, and never challenging himself to learn of the "new".

[monmouth]

2. He uses a Blackberry, right?....n/t

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. Stephen Hawking can use a computer.

[Patsy Stone]

6. And there you have the perfect rebuttal.

:thumbsup:

[TheBigotBasher]

21. That was my reply to some fool Repug

on huffington. This has been floating around the net as a response from the Repugs for the past two days. It is pure

[melody]

25. I just yelled that at the TV when I heard that

These monsters have no shame.

[thunder rising]

28. First no matter what, healthy or otherwise ... you have to want to!!!

[Starry Messenger]

4. I wonder if Karl Rove ever googles himself.

I could see him getting a masochistic thrill out of it.

[mucifer]

5. you only need a voice and MINIMAL use of one hand to use a computer.

[jcla]

and part of a brain might help.

[1Hippiechick]

LOL

:rofl:

[whistle]

7. McCain has no problem taking corporate lobby money with those injured limbs

[dennis4868]

13. he didn't have any problems...

pushing a person in a wheelchair when he lost his temper...

[1Hippiechick]

8. Not even the ones designed for the handicapped? Oh, my. tsk. tsk. n/t

[cali]

9. so he can shake hands day in and day out on the campaign trail

but can't type on a computer? How interesting.

[pdxmom]

10. Damn, he better tell McCain that, since McCain himself has said he's

using the computer.

[City Lights]

11. But he can dial a phone, which has smaller buttons.

:eyes:

And the dolts who watch Fox Nooze will swallow it whole.

There are so many things McCain can't do because of being a POW that I seriously think we need to start referring to him as McCan't.

[1corona4u]

12. So, Rove just made Mccrap out to be a liar...

since mccrap himself readily admits his lack of interest is something else all together. Can't remember what he said, but it had nothing to do with his old "war injuries".....I'm sure someone else knows where to find it....

16. McCain Learns How to Use a Computer - YouTube clip

14. My cousin who was blinded in Vietnam

can use a computer.

[DeschutesRiver]

15. NYT interview - in McCain's own words - he can use one, he is lazy

Quoted from an interview July, 2008 in the NYTs (link follows):

Q: What websites if any do you look at regularly?

Mr. McCain: Brooke and Mark show me Drudge, obviously, everybody watches, for better or for worse, Drudge. Sometimes I look at Politico. Sometimes RealPolitics, sometimes.

(Mrs. McCain and Ms. Buchanan both interject: “Meagan’s blog!”)

Mr. McCain: Excuse me, Meagan’s blog. And we also look at the blogs from Michael and from you that may not be in the newspaper, that are just part of your blog.

Q: But do you go on line for yourself?

Mr. McCain: They go on for me. I am learning to get online myself, and I will have that down fairly soon, getting on myself. I don’t expect to be a great communicator, I don’t expect to set up my own blog, but I am becoming computer literate to the point where I can get the information that I need – including going to my daughter’s blog first, before anything else.

Q: Do you use a blackberry or email?

Mr. McCain: No

Mark Salter: He uses a BlackBerry, just ours.

Mr. McCain: I use the Blackberry, but I don’t e-mail, I’ve never felt the particular need to e-mail. I read e-mails all the time, but the communications that I have with my friends and staff are oral and done with my cell phone. I have the luxury of being in contact with them literally all the time. We now have a phone on the plane that is usable on the plane, so I just never really felt a need to do it. But I do – could I just say, really – I understand the impact of blogs on American politics today and political campaigns. I understand that. And I understand that something appears on one blog, can ricochet all around and get into the evening news, the front page of The New York Times. So, I do pay attention to the blogs. And I am not in any way unappreciative of the impact that they have on entire campaigns and world opinion.

18. So this is just a Rovian tactic - say it enough, maybe no one reads the NYTs

and even if this mis-information is officially corrected, the lie has been planted in viewers brains; most won't even see the followup correction.

[1Hippiechick]

19. send to Keith Olbermann! LOL

[DeschutesRiver]

24. Tried, but for the last day or so, my dialup is bad, can't get it through yet. n/t

[Rosa Luxemburg]

17. that doesn't make him qualified for president if he is not capable of handling a computer!

[Deb]

20. Then how does McCain vote? I smell a TopTen

Rove is so full of crap.

[tannybogus]

22. I didn't know he was quadraplegic. He hides it well.

In addition, he must not be able to blink. Wasn't he tap tap tapping on the walls when he was a POW?

He can tap tap tap on a keyboard. He can pretend he's in Vietnam since he is so fond of those days.

[JimboDem]

23. Hey Turd Blossom,

Can he wipe his ass?!

[Riddler]

27. It's finally clear.....the ONLY thing McSlime's war injuries have NOT prevented him from doing

is lying like a Rovian puppet

[Ioo]

29. LIAR!!!! I RUN A SITE FOR DISABLED GAMERS - I know quads that play WOW

AbleGamers.com

SO F HIM!!!

31. I hope Jon Stewart or KO or Rachel brings this up... n/t

[medicswife]

32. omg POW POW POW POW POW POW

But.........I was a POW!!!!!!!


:rofl:

[ncteechur]

33. BULLSHIT!!

[Duer 157099]

34. So remind me, what are his qualifications for President again?

Seems all I ever hear, even from his own people, is how severely impacted he was from his time as a POW. And this enhances his qualifications how?

[Cha]

35. rove lies his

fascist ass off.. mccain already said he was learning to do little internet thingys.

[AtomicKitten]

36. I visualize Rove in jail where he belongs.

McBush's campaign is a pathetic imploding pinata.

:hi:
