This gaming site does a pretty good job fisking Chick's Dark Dungeons tract.

I particularly like this riff:

While at Ms. Frost's house, fighting 'the Zombie,' Debbie gets a call from Marcie. She asks Ms. Frost to tell Marcie that she will see her later that night.

TRUTH: There is more than one zombie in Dungeons & Dragons. By capitalizing the word "zombie" and using it as a singular, Chick openly flaunts his monozombistic worldview - one that is flawed and phony. To suggest that D&D is not polyzombistic is to deny the truth as it is plainly spelled out for us in the Monster Manual.

I might suggest that Chick's tracts were dishonest, narrow-minded propaganda (albeit decently drawn), but I'd hate to be consigned to eternal fire by his fans.

It won't be his fans making that decision.

I have long suspected he didn’t have that much input. The tracts sometimes contradicted each other. I often wondered if they were an outsourcing firm.

Naw.

You’d just be a sophomoric dimwit.

It’d be a very superficial analysis.

Then political video ad creators are channeling him quite well.
