He was fucking tortured for 5 years and they broke his hands multiple times seriously people don't be bitches to him because he cant type or text, he helped our country and you make fun of him because he took extra torture to help his fellow POW's??!?!?!? Disgusting.
This is such a blatantly biased video. Any credibility it had was lost when it showed the picture of Obama at the end.
Disabled people can use a computer, and that's a wonderful thing. But how often does the president sit down and type out an e-mail to his buddy the Prime Minister of the UK?
Seriously? And perhaps presidents shouldn't have used phones after their invention? Maybe keep on using the pony express?
Obama image or no, it illustrates a laziness on McCain's part, maybe indicative of a general mental deficiency. I certainly don't want such a backwards individual in office.
First of all, at what point did this video claim to be nonpartisan?
Second, just because you can cite one person who the President wouldn't normally e-mail (incidentally, how would one know that for sure?) doesn't mean that there aren't others.
I am executive director of Whirlwind Wheelchair International, although I did this video on my own. It just pissed me off to read the excuses for McCain and I realized that in this case for sure a picture is worth a thousand words, so why not just show people proving McCain wrong. The rest just happened, good ideas from other people and ideas that seemed to come out of nowhere. It all came together somehow. I'm glad you liked it. Pass it around to everyone you can.
OMFG... i heard that CforAT was behind this video? i miss you guys soooooo much!!!! this was so well done, it brought tears to my eyes - though the original obama "yes we can" stuff didn't, i was just like "yes we can what?"
yeah, i worked at CforAT for a couple years. i love them completely. how are you connected & what inspired this video? i love the way it communicates several different layers of messages, like... mccain has no excuse, for one... and check this shit out, all these people are pulling off more than mccain, and then it just morphs into the obama thing & seizes on all the emotionality of the original "yes we can" song & i think it all works really well together. just my opinion...
As much as I appreciate this as the deft political statement that it is meant to be - kudos Marc & team - I respect the visual language as a straightforward statement of disability pride. There are so few clear statements of disability culture circulating. Thanks for achieving a brilliant simplicity by presenting our everyday lives.
The video offers a decent point, but what does FDR's polio have to do with McCain's lack of experience with email? The lack of thought put into this video is something I'd expect from some right-wing redneck.
Glassy-eyed stare? Look at Michelle Bachmann yesterday on Hardball
Chanting? Listen to a McCain rally and count how many times he has to stop talking because he can't finish more than two sentences without his crowds chanting some mindless bumper sticker slogan over and over again.
Attacking criticism? McCain supporters are now physically assaulting members of the media.
If anyone's using mind control, it's McCain/Palin, fostering "us or them" mentality.
For the love of God what nonsense. One could show a clip of any campaign rally back to Teddy Roosevelt and give it the same "frame". The only reason whole B.S. concept gained any currency was that the Clinton campaign started pushing it.
The McCain camp jsimply picked the notion up and kept it circulating.
John and one of the guys I use to work with both have shoulder injuries due to wars... John was show down and Darrien (the guy I work with) was bombed and has shrapnel in his right shoulder. Anyways Darrien has a specialty mouse with the ball on top and it takes no shoulder use to use a keyboard so John has no excuse.
Very nice. Using assistive devices isn't always easy, but there's a lot to be said for seeing a challenge and finding a way to meet it. The bottom line is that McCain isn't computer challenged because of his injuries, he's computer challenged because he wants to be.
Mccain is just too old. sorry gramps!

Please, when would the President EVER need to use e-mail? I mean, the the internet is so secure, right?
There are a lot of reasons to be against John McCain. This is not one of them. Focus on the real issues.

The ironic thing about the video is that those pictured in it are considered disposable by Obama.

Gee, when you put it that way it doesn't sound so bad.
The fact is, McCain's a luddite and there's no excuse for him being so far behind.
