World of Warcraft hobby sparks US political row

so exactly how out of touch are these people?

this out of touch.

"Maine Republicans have created a webpage revealing that Democrat candidate Colleen Lachowicz plays an orc rogue in World of Warcraft (WoW)."

"Ms Lachowicz's liking for back-stabbing and poison in WoW raise questions about her "fitness for office", they claim."

The page also detailed some of the comments Ms Lachowicz has made while talking about her orc rogue, in particular it highlights her affection for Santiaga's ability to stab things and kill people without suffering a jail sentence.

"These are some very bizarre and offensive comments," said Maine Republican Party spokesman David Sorenson.

Who gives a f*** what she does in her spare time? How about they focus on more legitimate things and stop looking so desperate to find anything remotely minor to discredit someone.the_ChEeSe_mAn2

sheesh, talk about a betrayal of public health care, that scandal would have been a field day in the press.:P

I can't believe some of these people are considered mentally stable. I guess my liking for RTS games should make me a general then, by this logic.

Darn good at Age of Mythology. Average at Age of Empires 2. Just above average on Company of Hero's and lately I've been playing some DoTA 2 in which I have a higher win count than loss count by a fair gap. ;)

There isn't a word to describe the levels of ludicris in this article is there...

This is a new low. It's like saying a candidate's favorite movie is Die Hard, so they must be a violent person.

I see you like Half Life. That must mean you hit people with a crowbar all the time. I'm not going to hire you for any job I may or may not posses a vacancy for this reason!

I wonder how they'd bash her if she was a healing-spec priest or a paladin?XilePrincess

The unwashed masses on both sides will swallow any smear campaign made against the opposition.

Wow, politician playing a crap game. Seriously? She should be playing Dawn of war or Uncharted or Killzone. Then i'd support her. But WoW? CASUAL!!!!!!!

I sometimes find it hard to believe that Republicans are actually real, and not just a comedy skit we see every couple of years.

Totally a joke article, totally a joke article

"But they did/do it too" wasn't a valid defense in kindegarten, it's not a valid defense for grown ups.

Last I recall hearing of him was that sh*t between him and Mike Krahulik.

Politicians sure are getting desperate these days....
