This video appears to be from at least six weeks ago, but no one has really commented on it. Do we want a commander-in-chief who can't use a computer without assistance?

This reminds me of the 1992 when the first Bush said he never saw the bar code reader in a grocery store.
Hey McCain, if you can't use a computer, how the hell do you know what's going on at your website?
No surprise, as most of his supporters lack basic logic skills and instead choose violence as negotiator and money over substance.
Have you ever visited one of their political sites? I have. Any of my posted image commentary lasts in the millisecond range, followed by an avalanche of threats. Somehow, one particularly pissed off moderator-it could have been one of Free Republic's- found some photographs of me and went totally Neanderthal, posting threateningly for days and exhibiting a total lack of emotional control. A perfect model of militant socialist behavior.
It's sad that so many of our fellow citizens are followers of devolved totalitarians. Apparently, It wouldn't matter if McCain was 102 years old, as long as he lies like it was free, protects militant corporatist loot, and murders preemptively. McCain has a very limited menu, and that should trouble any real American.

IT'S A SERIES OF TUBES!!!!
not a bad analogy actually. I'm betting McAncient thinks it's all "magic."
How can he use "The Google" if he can't use a computer?
cell phone? Wife?
He sure knows how to remind people how old and tired he is.
This guy was born before TVs existed - thats all you have to know.
Hey, so was I. But, I know how to use a computer quite proficiently, thank you.
Tee Vee existed in the late 20's but almost no one owned them until the mid 50s. http://www
Do you think McBush has one of those "Jitterbug" cell phones for geezers?
Is there anything John McBush DOES know how to do? I mean, really -- he's old, but not so old that he shouldn't be able to learn to use a computer, assuming his mind still functions. (Well, maybe that's assuming too much.) What does he write with? A manual typewriter? A quill pen? Or maybe he can't write either?
See, that the really astonishing thing.
I mean, no one expects McCain to be ripping MP3s or coding PHP, but like you said, how the hell does he WRITE without a word processor??? What's left? Well, pen and ink or a typewriter. Or does he even know how to type?
And how can it not be extremely advantageous to use email for at least some communications with campaign staff???
Ans here's a killer: how can he be expected to have even an inkling about issues of copyright and the Internet if he does not even use a browser???
Guess what: if someone lacks computer literacy today, they lack ESSENTIAL BASIC LITERACY IN TODAY'S TERMS.
As the Op says, do we really want another half-literate president? I think not.
It was those Chinese guys that he hired to operate his computer that hacked into the pentagon?
Out of touch maybe?????
the Beach Boys, Viva Zapata and no computer use. Just the guy to bring us into the 21st century. And to think, the Chinese are raiding our servers now, just wait till we get McCain's crew in there.
Well, with McCain in the Oval office, they'd need to be able to read MS DOS.
McCain and Computers: It's almost TOO LATE for some Peoples to to LEARN something.
There is no much Hope for those peoples out of touch ... IF they can't be in touch with the World we live in.
I wonder .... WHAT Would LEFT .... What would McCain have to do...if the WAR would End Now...?
IF we bring the troops home... then What more to expect from McCain?
McCain's experience of War was not an experience of President, right
Then I wonder once again...Ho
McCain doesn't need no stinking computer..
If you recall, Dubya claimed early on all he really knew how to do was play solitaire on a computer before he took his nap in the afternoon.
Surprised?
No, this will probably get him a few more sympathy votes from people like my grandmother who think computers are to be feared and avoided at all costs.
It's sad McCain thinks it's cute to admit he is out of touch with the modern world. He's trying to appeal to older voters but doesn't realize many seniors are interested in computers and can use them. He's coming over as feeble-minded. It's not his age that's a problem but his lack of mental agility.
another on the bright side, is at least that means there's one less republican trolling chat rooms for underage kids or looking for the hawt airport restrooms.
Perfect. Great post. Never thought of that! I will definately sleep better tonight.
It's now official - you are my favorite poster on huffpo.
