The “apology” is simply another insult…clearly not an apology of any kind. I’m amazed the other gamers who’ve responded to this haven’t seen through this charade.

Actually, that apology is from the *first* anti-D&D comment he made:
http://thinkprogress.org/2008/08/01/mccains-blogger-rips-bloggers-sitting-in-mothers-basement-ranting-into-the-ether/

So, how genuine was the apology if he is going to continue to make such comments?

LMAO!

Absolutely splendid reply. That McCain staffer rolls mean d20 for sure. Totally pwned the WotC guy.

Great blog, BTW.

That’s a great save. (ba-dum-psh)

I’m not sure exactly when or how, but the McCain campaign has really found it’s footing this summer.

I should point out that while Goldfarb is part of the McCain camp, he is not McCain himself. Judging people by their friends is all well and good, but keeping an eye on the man himself is more important.

So, while we can judge Goldfarb on the D&D debacle, we should not judge McCain for the same.

Note: I am an Obama supporter, but I see no reason to drag McCain into the fire for crimes he did not commit.

Nice recovery. Not likely to appease the pro-Obama D&D crowd, but his quote shows enough sensitivity and good humor to convince the pro-McCain D&D crowd to forgive him.
