That's what is making the rounds of the blogs... But I did some further reading...

McCain wants to keep No Child Left Behind- which is eviscerating Special Education and doing a number on schools everywhere.  The is no place that is sacred to him. He supports drilling everywhere- because (paraphrasing) 'Oil independence is important. Mother Nature will survive.'   He is threatening Russia, Syria, Iran, Pakistan among others.  Doesn't he know what happens when people attack the entire world?

But the focus is on a slight to Gamers... which SUCKS, and not in the happy wet way... but it's not why McCain bothers me.

If you follow all of the links back... it comes down to it being a shot from the hip reply from a campaign worker to a story on the Daily Kos, that claimed that McCain wasn't tortured and that he plagerized the tale he told about the sympathetic guard drawing a cross in the dirt.

The remark basicly referred to those making the claims as 40 year olds who were living in their parent's basement playing D&D.

Hope that helps clear it up,
Thadius

BTW this isn't the first anti gamer comment this same guy has made while working for McCain.

I enjoy all of those games as well, actually most of the neighborhood I was brought up in enjoyed those games.  These games are bad how?
