Website set up by the Maine Republican party for purposes of bashing a MMO player running for state rep.  This has the potential to be a joke of some kind, although 25-30 years ago, Satanism and D&D associations were all the rage, so maybe it's just social stupidity migrating elsewhere.

Apparently it's completely serious.  The GOP thinks it's madness for someone who plays online games to think they should be in the legislature like a normal person.

She's running as a publicly funded candidate, so you can't donate to her campaign.  But if you'd like to send a message to those stupid old people, go fill out this form: http://dlcc.org/2012Races

Where are the moderate Republicans rising up in protest when the psycho fuckups of their party start perpetrating stupidity like this?  It is precisely actions like these which keep me from backing their cause.

There was plenty of backlash over that moron in missouri with the 'cant get pregnant with legitimate rape' opinion. Lots of calls for him to quit, which he wouldnt do, thus ensuring a democrat victory where it was solid republican.

Thus WOW thing is just so ridiculous it is hard to get riled up.

Can't we just dislike her for being ugly?

Backlash doesn't do them any good if it doesn't deter the fucktard in question.  The WoW thing is annoying because it's ridiculous.  These have to be the same stone age remnant groups that thought the devil personally penned every rock and roll song during the 1950s.

Their attempts to paint this woman as evil because she plays online games is ridiculous, and shows out of touch they are with society today.

That being said, they have posted all of her various tweets or facebook posts, and I assume none of you read through them. I found myself in the john when this was posted and actually read some. They're pretty fucking damning. She goes on and on about how she doesn't do anything at work except WOW stuff ever since it came out. She talks violently about Republicans, not in context of the game. She talks all about her political beliefs, which are very heavily socialist. Etc.

So they Republicans had the right idea, they just attacked her for the wrong thing.

I read the posts.  I simply didn't care.  The fact they're basing this shit around WoW is dumb-assery.  Of all the things to highlight, that's the one they pick.  Good to know they've got their priorities in order.

I agree.  I also read some, and she's a typical example of the asshole strain of gamer.  Normally I'd have nothing but contempt for her.  But her attackers are painfully out of touch with the modern world, and besides if being an asshole kept one out of politics the halls of Congress would be empty.

But...that's what I said...  :D

I just didn't get why they focused on the WoW stuff when they had actual posts by her talking about goofing off at work, not giving a fuck, and talking about blatant socialism.

Video games are bad, Mmk?
