[QUOTE="thormagni, post: 4431815, member: 13637"] To be even more fair, it is Goldfarb on McCain's official campaign blog. It's not like he is unattached to the McCain campaign. I just don't understand the mentality behind it. They have apparently been hitting on this for a week or so. Did someone, somewhere do some polling that said "ridicule Obama supporters as D&D nerds. That will get our voters riled up?" or "Calling them D&D players will make them seem unAmerican" or what? I mean, I did a lot of D&D playing in the military. I would say the mess decks of the destroyer I was serving on, or the barracks lounge tables in boot camp, my various schools and my post-destroyer duty assignment were hardly my mom's basement. And it is not like I ever had a problem finding other players. At least in my field (Navy intelligence) we had a LOT of D&D geeks. I just don't get it. (And suffice it to say that I disagree about the inherent nastiness of the liberal blogs compared to the conservative blogs, but I can't think of anything remotely gaming related to say about it. :) [/QUOTE]
