Sorry, but why is this so bad? Someone who can code used it for something in poor taste! OMG! To be fair, I do think a "shoot Obama" video game would be pushing the line, but that's because he is the President. The same went for Bush. About a decade or so ago there was a game called "ethnic cleansing," where neo nazis went around shooting black people, jews, black people, mexicans, and black people. This wasn't something that was mass marketed, so we're not talking about the video game equivalent of "birth of a nation" here, but I remember thinking "Those dicks. But whatever." If the developers aren't politicians, they can say what they want. Have you ever read the comment section on Fox News.com or Huffington Post? "Shoot those zombies" would be tame by the standards of what goes on there. I also think that Conservatives who get up in arms about this would be hypocritical after saying that the left has been over-hyping their comments like, "Don't retreat, reload" and the infamous "tar baby" comment.
