John Edwards Second Life Campaign HQ Vandalized

According to a post on presidential candidate John Edwards’ official blog, the Democrat’s Second Life campaign headquarters was trashed, apparently by Republican gamers:

Shortly before midnight (CST) on Monday, February 26, a group of republican Second Life users, some sporting “Bush ‘08″ tags, vandalized the John Edwards Second Life HQ. They plastered the area with Marxist/Lenninist posters and slogans, a feces spewing obsenity, and a photoshopped picture of John in blackface, all the while harrassing visitors with right-wing nonsense and obsenity-laden abuse of Democrats in general and John in particular.

The author of the blog post, identified only as robinrising, was apparently a witness to the incident and provided screen shots and chat logs to SL publisher Linden Lab for possible disciplinary action.

6. Right wingers take another strong stance against obscenity

Published by Amanda Marcotte March 2nd, 2007 in Assholes

Roxanne’s said it before, but it’s worth apeing—if you think wingnuts are insufferable assholes when they’re winning, they are even more despicable when they’re losing. Look at what the cowardly babies did to the Edwards headquarters in Second Life. Yes, that does indeed appear to be shit-smearing going on, amongst other behaviors to demonstrate their strong stance against obscenity.



At this point, they’ve devolved into a mob of people who see anything good or interesting or worthy and want to take a giant piss all over it out of mean-spirited jealousy. Not that this childish behavior surprises me one bit anymore—being on the receiving end of the right wing noise machine will demonstrate pretty well that they have zero compunction about lying or engaging in other utterly immoral behavior. And at this point, it’s not even to win, really. I’d say they’re more motivated at this point by the irresistible urge to piss off liberals and be pains in the ass.

After all, if you look at this destruction, does it really make you want to vote against Edwards? Only if you’re the sort of maladapted fucktard that hopes you happen upon a gang rape one day so you can join in, finally free to have an erection because the only thing you can get off on is pointless abuse. For non-sociopathic individuals, this just makes you think poorly of the people who did this, not of the people who were targeted. The saddest part of all is the cowards who did this are such utter cowards, too scared to actually go vandalize buildings in the real world, where they know they’ll happen across policemen who don’t share their firm belief in the importance of spreading contempt for anything good or decent in this world.
