McCain Bashing D&D players

[ardantheblack]

ok, so this isn't exactly discussing game issues, but i feel this discussion needs to be made. McCain launches an attack on a specific group of people without a real connection being made, and i'm wondering if anyone can shine some light on this. Leave a comment

Michael Goldfarb, one of McCain's aides, in typical political toede fashion, is doing the mud-slinging his boss would like to do but for which he can't take the heat during a major political campaign. He's doing two things here that make me uncomfortable (not that I'd vote for the flesh & blood version of Abe Simpson anyhow

1) Very well put. You stated it about a thousand times clearer than I could.
2) Thanks for the tangent; now I know where to send the 3.0/3.5 books I don't want to use again. Much appreciated.

Thanks so much for the kind words. Most churches, synagogues, and community outreach centers either have regular packages being shipped to the near-combat bases in Iraq and Afganistan. If not, they'll likely know someone who is sending such packages. I've heard that Afganistan troops are particularly in need of goods that remind them of home, as their struggle is often forgotten in the face of Iraq's notoriety

Bam. Without any comment on politics, I know A LOT of servicemen that play role-playing games. It gets them the FUCK AWAY from danger for a while. So, way to go asshole, you just isolated American Soldiers.

Yeah I know. Lots of military service people play D&D. This fool better watch out or he's gonna have some live action played with his head and some army boots.
