McCain was subject to the Vietnamese "Rope Torture" on many occasions. His room mate for a time at the Hanoi Hilton, Col "Bud" Day (Medal of Honor recepient), was subject to this torture and to this day cannot totally function either because of his injuries.

From McCain's own account:

They later said that their first impression of me, emaciated, bug-eyed and bright with fever, was of a man at the threshold of death. They thought the Vietnamese expected me to die, and had placed me in their care to escape the blame when I failed to recover. Bud had been seriously injured when he ejected. After he was captured, he had attempted an escape and had nearly reached an American airfield when he was recaptured. His captors had looped rope around his shoulders, tightened it until his shoulders were nearly touching, and then hung him by the arms from the rafter of the torture room, tearing his shoulders apart. Left in this condition for hours, Bud never acceded to Vietnamese-demands for military information. They had to break his already broken right arm a second time, and threaten to break the other before Bud gave them anything at all. Because of his injuries, Bud was unable to help with my physical care. Norris, a gentle, uncomplaining guy, cleaned me up, fed me, helped me onto the bucket that served as our toilet and massaged my leg.

This method of torture is still common in Asia. It is used in China, Vietnam, and other nations to this day.

Obama, you want to make fun of John McCain because he cannot used a keyboard?

You are nothing but a cowardly, tissue paper resume little jerk.

What a horrible thing to go through and Obama is making fun of John McCain’s inability to use a keyboard.

Thank you for the details of what an American Hero suffered through in Vietnam.

Hussein Obama is an a$$ and should be kicked out of the Senate after he endorsed this ad.

For an encore, Obama may want to consider putting kittens in the microwave. He is a disgusting person.
