McCain Blogger Flubs His Roll

If you’re a gamer, you’ve prob­a­bly heard the hoorah by now. Michael Gold­farb, a blog­ger on McCain’s offi­cial cam­paign site added a lame anti-​​gamer slur to his rinse-​​and-​​repeat “but he was a POW!” bull­shit. Sam (and many oth­ers) responded to the twit (who keeps com­ments dis­abled on his blog – afraid of a lit­tle com­men­tary, Gold­farb?). This isn’t the first time McCain’s peo­ple have attacked their oppo­nents with com­ments about D&D, either, as some of the folks on Boing Boing have pointed out.

Gold­farb was respond­ing to a post on the Daily Kos that called McCain on his pla­gia­rism dur­ing a media event this week­end. The DK blog­ger has a nice response.

Gold­farb has sup­pos­edly apol­o­gized, but oddly enough, his “apol­ogy” isn’t posted on his blog, or any­where else on McCain’s site as far as I can tell. If he isn’t man enough to make the apol­ogy in the same venue in which he posted the attack, that says a lot about him and the entire McCain cam­paign.1


1 None of it is sur­pris­ing to me, but it is still telling.
