In an unusual press release issued Thursday, the Maine GOP attacked Lachowicz for a “bizarre double life” in which she’s a devotee of the hugely popular online role-playing game World of Warcraft. In the game, she’s “Santiaga,” an "orc assassination rogue" with green skin, fangs, a Mohawk and pointy ears.

Da fuck?

“We think anyone making comments about drowning Grover Norquist and stabbing things shows a shocking level of immaturity and poor judgment that voters should know about,” Maine GOP party spokesman David Sorenson said. “Certainly the fact that she spends so much time on a video game says something about her work ethic and, again, her immaturity.”

Heh. Thinking that playing videogames is immature.

"The candidate did not return calls or emails seeking comment, but the Maine Democratic Party responded swiftly by creating a website to collect donations for "a gamer who's under attack."

Goddamnit.

Is the GOP trying to get younger voters off their asses so that they'd vote Democrat?

lol

There really is no other valid input. Just, like... this doesn't even seem like it should be a real thing. It's like a storyline you'd see in a bad parody of something, not the actual world.

This reminds me of the really low blow tactics Elizabeth Dole used against Kay Hagan a few years back.

Why does the GOP do this? Also why does it matter if she played wow? You know what fuck it I give up.

As one of the first times that I've really paid attention to political season, I've come to realize why people have come to despise politics and all who are involved. Is it me, or is it worse than usual?

I thought the younger American generation barely votes anyway. That's why I've seen Nas and Larry David among other celebs begging teenagers to vote!

No, its just tuning in and seeing how vile it is, plus the internet letting everyone see stuff like this.

What's a canidate?

Anywho, I am pretty sure we're in... the twilight zone *insert drum beat here*

Would've only voted for her if it was APB she played

If she'd been playing a paladin, all of this could've been avoided. EVERYBODY likes the tank.

Is it sad that things like this have become funny? Damned old people.
