The email ad is terrible because - John McCain can\'t use a keyboard.  Why you may ask?  Because of the permanent injuries he received while being tortured in Vietnam.  The ad was basically mocking his handicap.  Biden was right - the ad was pretty bad.

I am aware that this story about McCain being unable to use a keyboard because of his vietnam torture injuries is circulating widely around the internet, but I have not found a reliable source that verifies it.  If you have a reliable source, please post it and I would be happy to change my opinion on that subject.  Until that point, I DON\'T BELIEVE IT.

The issue of McCain\'s tech skills began when he sat down for an interview with TechCrunch\'s Michael Arrington in November. Asked, "Are you a Mac or a PC guy?" McCain laughed and said "I am illiterate." (Arrington nonetheless endorsed McCain in the Republican primary, dismissing the candidate\'s computer illiteracy as common for his generation and not relevant to how he would handle the information economy.)
 
McCain repeated the "illiterate" comment in an interview with Politico and Yahoo News in January, saying, "I am an illiterate that has to rely on my wife for all of the assistance that I can get."
 
In July, McCain told the New York Times that he was "becoming computer literate" and learning to go online. But he also said he did not send e-mail.
 
"I don\'t e-mail, I\'ve never felt the particular need to e-mail," he said.
 
Bounds said it was "factually inaccurate" to allege that McCain can\'t send e-mail. But Bounds would not say whether McCain uses e-mail or how often.
 
"I\'m not going to get into the specifics of John McCain\'s e-mail correspondence. There couldn\'t be anything more off topic than that," Bounds said.
If McCain\'s fingers were injured, don\'t you think he would have mentioned it at some point, instead of portraying himself as a proud luddite?

Yeah...i was under the impression that McCain is simply computer illiterate....not that Obama was making fun of his handicap...and honestly, giga do really believe that he would make fun of something like that?

Yes, by all means reference "blogs".  Don\'t believe it... I don\'t care.  

"ABC\'s Jake Tapper: [T]yping on a regular keyboard for any sustained period of time bothers McCain physically.

He can type, he occasionally does type, but in general, the injuries he sustained as a POW – ones that make it impossible for him to raise his arms high enough to comb his hair – mean that small tasks make his shoulders ache, so he tries to avoid any repetitive exercise.

Again, it\'s not that he can\'t type, he just by habit, avoids when he can, repetitive exercise involving his arms. He does if he has to, as with handshaking or autographs."

That is from the beloved liberal factcheck.org.

The ad sucks get over it.  Did Bill Clinton use a PC?  Nope.  Does that impair their judgement?  Nope.

Well McCain said he reads blogs, so I should be able to quote a blog here.  :)   Actually I was just quoting that blog to provide the links that are embedded in the text.
 
I agree with the factcheck.org link that McCain probably does have difficulty typing.  Therefore the Obama ad was kinda stupid.  I agree with Biden that they shouldn\'t have run that ad.
