McCain rips into gamers...
Apparently McCain isn't interested in the dicechucking gamer vote:
Confronting questions about whether John McCain stole an inspiring POW story from the autobiography of a former Soviet prisoner, a campaign spokesman threw out this melee attack against a much-maligned geek pastime:
"It may be typical of the pro-Obama Dungeons & Dragons crowd to disparage a fellow countryman's memory of war from the comfort of mom's basement," said McCain aide Michael Goldfarb, in a posting to the campaign website. "But most Americans have the humility and gratitude to respect and learn from the memories of men who suffered on behalf of others."
Ouch. I'd take offense, but I have a saving-throw to make, and the dim light in this basement is making it hard to see the D20.
Or the cardflopping gamer vote either really. Not that I was planning on voting for him...
