justinjacobson for sharing this tidbit.
So I am not planning on voting for McCain any way. I think he is an okay sort and I don't hate the man but I just disagree with him politically. That said I find the recent post on http://johnmccain.com to be another little nail in the coffin of the chances I would vote for him.

"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. John McCain has often said he witnessed a thousand acts of bravery while he was imprisoned, and though not every one has been submitted into the public record, they are remembered by the men who were there (one such only recently reported by Karl Rove though it escaped mention in any of Senator McCain's books). But as Swindle said, this is a "desperate group of people trying to make something out of nothing."
How does playing D&D become a pejorative? Do all of my conservative friends who play D&D now become Obama supporters?
Sigh.
night for real this time.

That comment is just unnecessary. It has nothing to do with McCain's war experience or his campaign, it's just a cheap shot at a group of people who are easy to insult. It DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE, and I can't believe it bothers me so much that I'm actually using capslock.
GAAAH. I'm not a McCain fan, but I'm not an Obama fan either. This is just another thing that McCain (or his campaign) has said or done that makes me want to bang my head against the wall. It's not serious enough for me to decide to vote for a 3rd party candidate, but I just feel like... if you're going to insult a group of people I identify with, why should I even bother voting for you (even if I was going to probably throw up afterward anyway)?
