Charges to be filed against McCain supporter who faked attack, "B" cut into her face
UPDATE:

Quote:

PITTSBURGH - A John McCain volunteer in Pittsburgh who said she was robbed and sexually assaulted because of her political views has admitted to fabricating the story, police sources told a TV station. KDKA TV added that one source said Ashley Todd would face charges.

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Pittsburgh Police are investigating a report by a campaign staffer for John McCain that she was mugged and the letter B was cut into her face.
Police say the 20-year-old woman, who is from Texas, reported that the attack occurred yesterday in one of the city's eastern neighborhoods.
But they said the woman told them she did not seek medical treatment.
More details in tomorrow's Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

McCain staffer says she was mugged, had 'B' cut into face
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:
Quote:
|
LONGWOOD, Fla. -- The home of a Central Florida Republican headquarters manager was shot up and damaged over his support of Sen. John McCain, the man told police.

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.

Won't happen. Both sides have too much invested in demonizing each other. I think it's here to stay. You can't run anymore unless you're willing to get medieval. Which is why irrelevant stuff like Bill Ayers is still being talked about.

Depends on how deep the cut was. CNN described it as "scratched it into her face." Still disgusting nonetheless.

Woman Attacked At ATM, Assailant Scratches Letter Into Her Face - Pittsburgh News Story - WTAE Pittsburgh
The attacker is also apparently dyslexic.

Oh, in case anybody was wondering,

the assault, which happened outside the view of the bank's surveillance cameras.

Of course.
Quote:
The robber is described as a dark-skinned black man, 6 feet 4 inches tall, 200 pounds with a medium build, short black hair and brown eyes. The man was wearing dark colored jeans, a black undershirt and black shoes.

I think this one can officially be filed under "Bull$#$#$."

Maybe it isn't related to her McCain sticker....maybe the B is for B****.

Per Fox News, Michael Dukakis parolee Willie Horton is the chief suspect in this heinous political crime.

Exactly, if an enraged attacker is carving letters into your face, it's not going to be done nicely and neatly enough so the cut is just barely deep enough to show on your face (and not hurt very much), yet not deep enough to bleed all over (and hurt a hell of a lot, and not heal neatly in a couple of weeks).
Plus if the attacker is going to go to the trouble of carving letters into you (thus earning an ADW charge), he's going to force you back to the ATM and force you to take out all your money, not just $60.00.
But you know those stupid negroes, they don't think of stuff like that. That's why we have to make sure we don't allow one to become President.

Article never said she was cut with a knife

See, these are schizophrenic stupid negroes -- one minute they're doing something utterly idiotic, the next something fiendishly crafty and brilliant.

It would probably play out just as this thread did. Outrage at the beginning, and recognition of fraud at the end.
