Maine Republicans Attack Senate Candidate for Playing "World of Warcraft"

GOP claims she's living in a "fantasy world." Oh, the irony.

None

When Republicans in Maine learned that Democratic Senate candidate Colleen Lachowicz is an avid World of Warcraft player, they saw it as an opportunity to become real-life griefers by launching an entire attack campaign based on her secret life in a "fantasy world."

Maine GOP communications director David Sorensen said in a report that Lachowicz "has been living a time-consuming double life as a member of the World of Warcraft community." And as old people and idiots know, those damned vidya games are worse than devil worship.

They're trying to paint Colleen like some crazy person who enjoys stabbing and poisoning people, calling her WoW persona—a high-level Orc rogue—"crude, vicious and violent" and making bold claims like "Maine needs a State Senator that lives in the real world, not in Colleen’s fantasy world."

This coming from the party that thinks the president should base his policies on a 2,000 year-old book full of talking animals and magic tricks. Nice try, trolls!
