Good thing it's Friday, I think you need some sleep.


I think you need English comprehension classes. I said "WHO KNOWS it could be ____ or _____".


I said she's obviously got issues if this story is bogus. Which, personally, I think it IS.

It's not out of the realm of possibilities. She's a 20yo & is from Texas, and that's just out of the norm for a 20yo to travel all the way across the country for free to volunteer?

So go back and read my post, troll.

I haven't seen enough story beyond the few on the web, but if THAT's out of the norm, isn't it more out of the norm to travel all the way to Pittsburgh just to mutilate yourself, lose some cash and give yourself a black eye?

I think the story is certainly *bizarre*, and it has some inconsistencies, but the attack itself isn't inconsistent with what's already happened - bullets fired at cars with McCain stickers, people assaulted and so forth. Some people openly claim that opposition to Obama is blatant racism.

Geez, imagine what kind of crap they'll spew when he's elected.

You were saying??

Reports: McCain volunteer lied about partisan-fueled attack - On Deadline - USATODAY.com

KDKA-TV says a volunteer for John McCain's presidential campaign has admitted lying to police about an election-related mugging.

Ashley Todd, 20, attracted national attention when she reported that an unidentified man beat her up and scratched the letter "B" into her face because she had a pro-Republican sticker on her car

If it's proven true, the cry will go up that she asked for it, or that "B" means something else.

It's like when the Rather story broke out last election. Once the letter was proven a fake, they claimed it was based on a real letter, but maybe Karl Rove leaked out a "fake" to embarass....

Dammit, just admit you're wrong and move on. Isn't that easier? Instead of wild, convoluted stories that confirm how evil the Republicans are, why not just admit the obvious - some liberals are, too. Sometimes the simplest answer really is the truth.
Some??? Ever see a liberal not get what they want or a group of liberals who are confronted by, say...., someone who supported the war in iraq... The lefties would almost lose their minds...

Unlike most Obama supporters, I say let the law handle it, if found to be untrue she should be prosecuted and thrown in jail. Has nothing to do with McCain. But if Obama supporters commit fraud in 14 different states to a group Obama supported and funded, he has no knowledge of anything and gets another free pass... idiots!!! We slam our own, you defend them...

I think it would have been more believable if she would have had a "Hammer & Sickle carved in her face!

What I find odd about her scare is that in violent crimes, the criminal would NOT have taken the time to do such a perfect B at a depth that looks like a scratch that will heal and it looks so perfect and consistant. Not like something that happen fast and in a haste like most criminals do during a crime. I suspect (my own opinion) is she wanted to do a world win media spotlight like Joe the plummer, but for all the WRONG reasons... Again, lets wait and see what law enforcement finds out...
