Republicans also hate Dungeons and Dragons players
Oh no they di'nt - here's a quote from John McCain's campaign web site:
"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, but most Americans have the humility and gratitude to respect and learn from the memories of men who suffered on behalf of others."
Response from Wizards of the Coast website here. Apparently the McCain staff isn't aware that Dungeons and Dragons is a very popular pass time for GIs in the field. Hasbro even sent me a free D&D handbook and dice when I asked for one to use in teaching English skills when I was in Kazakstan for Peace Corps. Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast are good people who provide distraction for a lot of people in Iraq and Afghanistan. D&D players both overseas and domestic don't deserve that kind of comment.
The Republicans are serious about alienating anyone who isn't a white religious Evangelical maniac, I guess.
Time for me to pull out my +3 vorpal sword, take names and kick ass.
While I'm at it, how sad is it when I look at a party or even a candidate and think "I could do a better job than that." They're no longer recognizeable as Republicans as we formerly understood them. Now they're just a bunch of righteous, overspending, government-growing douche bags. I don't understand how people can vote that way when it's not in the best interests of 95% of the populace. Good persuasion and rhetoric goes a long way I guess.

So I read this while I was on the phone with my mother.
Both of my parents rabidly support McCain.
Yeah . . *shakes head*
I realize that it's just some idiot staffer, but if it's one, it's a hundred of them.
Obama's getting my vote right now.
gawd...
seriously. they are deranged. psycho palin and malicious mccain. they both have +2 powers of squirm with indignation.
Also, you got mention on my blog.
Thank you for sharing. I'll definitely pass this along to all my "basement dwelling" friends
Can you cast a spell so that when McPreggars Palin pops the love child we don't have to see/hear/smell anything about it. Thanks in advance.
I am a social liberal and financial conservative which is summarized in the phrase "I don't care what you do as long as I'm not paying for it." But all too often, I'm asked to foot the bill and help with the clean up when I wasn't invited to the party.
Back in the day, I have voted Republican. However, RED INK REPUBPLICANS will never get my vote.
Jimbo: You got it right about the Republican Party. Dungeons and Dragons is hardly a major problem compared to the rest of the difficulties that lie ahead! I think you will agree with me that even the Democrat Party is hardly recognizable. Good post. CB in CA
What an arrogant self righteous thing to say. I swear, if this guy wins there is something even more serious with the American public than I first thought.
I think it would be much more fitting for you to use a +5 Holy Avenger.
Short of that, a Bastard Sword would do nicely.
How many hit points is a Bitch Slap from the House of Sugarbaker worth? Because I've got one for each of them right here....
