Starting to get nasty out there. On both sides of the campaign.



good news is she did not need to go to the hospital.

In a similar story:
Republican HQ Manager's Home Shot Up Over McCain Signs - Politics News Story - WKMG Orlando

Couple this with some of the stories about violence coming out of the right (that have already been posted) and this could be serious.

Stay classy USA.

not to mention a backwards "B" which would look correct when one looked in the mirror. Hmmm, maybe she's angling for the same book deal Joe the Plant, er, Plumber, is negotiating for.

I am going to wait and reserve judgment on hoax or not until the police report is made public and we know more.

The backwards "B" is suspicious of a hoax and if it turns out to be on that is absolutely shameful.

But if an Obama staffer made an allegation that a McCain supporter carved an "M" or a "W" (McSame and all)...do you really think it would've been a minor incident? I'm guessing a hate crime investivigation would've been launched. Immediately.

Well the good news about the letter "M" is that it wouldn't look backwards if you used a mirror to do it like she did with the "B".

Exactly, the backwards B tells me she was looking in the mirror when she scratched her own face.

Gee, maybe if you weren't in such a hurry to post that tripe, you wouldn't look stupid.

Personally, whenever I hear something like that story, I do not immediately treat it as gospel, like you did.

Sounded questionable, from the very beginning.

The Associated Press: Police: McCain volunteer changes ATM attack story
Quote:
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh police say a McCain campaign volunteer who said she was held down by a black man who cut the letter "B" in her face has changed her story.
Police spokeswoman Diane Richard says investigators gave the 20-year-old woman a lie-detector test and are "looking at some inconsistencies" in her story.
The student, Ashley Todd, of College Station, Texas, initially said a black man robbed her at knifepoint Wednesday night and then cut her cheek after seeing a McCain sticker on her car.
Police say bank surveillance footage doesn't show her at an ATM where she says she was attacked.
Todd, who is white, now says she was knocked unconscious and doesn't remember being cut. She now says she only discovered the wound later.
No arrests have been made.

Executive VP of Fox News, hoping against hope it's true:

Moment of Truth « FOX Forum « FOXNews.com

Quote:
It had to happen.
Less than two weeks before we vote for a new president, a white woman says a black man attacked her, then scarred her face, and says there was a political motive for it.
Ashley Todd, a 20-year-old white volunteer for John McCain’s presidential campaign, says she was mugged at an ATM machine in Pittsburgh (my hometown) by a big black man. She further says he threw her down, then disfigured her by carving the letter “B” into her face with a sharp implement when he saw that she supported McCain, not Barack Obama.
Part of the appeal of, and the unspoken tension behind, Senator Obama’s campaign is his transformational status as the first African-American to win a major party’s presidential nomination.
That does not mean that he has erased the mutual distrust between black and white Americans, and this incident could become a watershed event in the 11 days before the election.
If Ms. Todd’s allegations are proven accurate, some voters may revisit their support for Senator Obama, not because they are racists (with due respect to Rep. John Murtha), but because they suddenly feel they do not know enough about the Democratic nominee.
See, when you nominate one of them negroes for president, it's only a matter of time before brutal black men are attacking white women.

A Pittsburgh police commander says a volunteer for the McCain campaign who reported being robbed and attacked near a bank ATM in Bloomfield has confessed to making up the story. Police say charges will be filed. More details to follow.

How about we change the title of this thread too.
