I was assuming "bitch"

"What does the "B" stand for? Anyone know?"

Hell, it could have been the dude's initial...who knows.

"*most* of the extremists are voting for McCain. "

You can't support that

"THEN apparently got mad when he saw the bumper sticker. There's nothing to suggest anything more than it was a random robbery and assault."

These two statements contradict each other. If he got mad enough to maim her because of her bumper sticker after he robbed her, then obviously it's more than just robbery.

"Willie Horton"

What does Willie Horton committing armed robbery and rape because Mike Dukakis was stupid enough to insist on furloughing lifers convicted of murder have to do with anything?

Hmm.

Why that McCain volunteer’s “mutilation” story smells awfully weird
By Michelle Malkin • October 23, 2008 06:43 PM

Throughout my career, I’ve covered dozens of fake hate crimes — campus hate crime hoaxes, Muslim hate crime hoaxes, fake noose hangings, etc., etc., etc. Most were perpetrated by liberals, but there have been some shameful ones on our side of the aisle as well.

I’ve reported on the great lengths that warped attention-seekers have gone to in perpetrating fake hate crimes, including beating themselves up, carving swastikas on their dorm room doors and walls, locking themselves in bathroom stalls, and burning down their own houses.

Which is why I’m not jumping up and down with outrage over Drudge-promoted story of a McCain volunteer claiming to have been attacked by a black man whom she accused of carving a “B” in her face after spotting her McCain bumper sticker.

She refused medical treatment after reporting the incident to police. Why on earth would she do that?

Look at her face (photo via Hot Air):

What’s wrong with the “B?”

I share my reader Kathy’s suspicions on this. She writes:

Notice how the “B” is backwards on the right cheek……if you were looking in a mirror and put it on your own face…it would appear backwards and would probably be on your own right cheek (due to most folks are right handed)……she put it on her own face but forgot it would show up backwards.

She may have been robbed and beaten but I think she added the “B”….

Take a close look at the picture.

Maaaaybe the alleged robber straddled her upside-down while carving it into her face.

Maybe.

But I’ve got my doubts.

The woman has been identified as GOP volunteer Ashley Todd of Texas. Her Twitter page is here and I find it, well, odd.

This seems to me to have shades of Paul Mirecki (note that there was a photo in that case, too), Sarah Marshak, and Tawana Brawley all over it.

If I’m wrong, I’ll apologize. If I’m right, will this woman?

It needs to be said — and since it is not said often enough by those on the other side of the political aisle, I’ll say it again:

We have enough low-lifes and thugs in the world running loose and causing campaign chaos and fomenting hatred without having to make them up. I’ve been blowing the whistle on the real, left-wing rage not on the front page and in-your-face tactics throughout the election season.

Hate crimes hoaxes — by anyone, of any political persuasion, and of any color — diminish us all.

Either way, I hope that Todd gets the help she needs, that the whole truth comes out, and that justice is served on the perpetrator.

Whoever he or she may be.

ehh i heard that this story was not accurate and they were retracting the claims.

Just based on the fact this woman refused medical treatment tell us that "something is fishy" about her alleged injuries. When one is attacked and Medics respond to the scene and you refuse to have your injuries documented by medical staff at a Hospital you automatically open yourself up for a fraudulent claim
The "backward B" is the basis for this possible fraudulent attack.
She claims her attacker punched her in her face(giving her the "black eye") then knocked her down on the ground in front of the ATM machine,sat on her chest,and then used a knife to cut the "B" into her face. The "B" would not have been cut into her cheek backwards if this was true becuase it takes more time to create a "backward B" than it does to draw a foreward "B".Most attackers who attack and rob a person have less than 20 seconds to do the entire act,it would have taken her attacker too much time to cut a backward "B" into her cheek. I think she did that to herself in front of a Mirror,either in the reflection of the ATM's TFT Screen or her car's mirror forgetting that a Mirror Image will display numeric letters backwards,unless you write it backwards while looking into the mirror. This whole thing smacks of a do-it-youself fakery to gain attention to oneself

Ahh, poor baby zoner is lashing out cuz I hurt his feelings

ron:
I apologize for being duped

no need to apologize......there was no way for you to know she is a whack job.

The whole damn media bought this story and ran with it.

-troy

> Man, anyone else reminded of that horrible case a few years back, where a mother drowned her kids then told the police they'd been kidnapped when a black guy stole her car with them in it? Man, the racist default- blame a black guy, everyone knows they're criminals. <

A few years back? Ha! It happens all the time.

I wouldn't say it that way.

I would say that violence is an historically well-precedented way for U.S. Citizens to deal with people who are actively trying to prevent a valid U.S. election result from being applied as policy.

I would also say that it doesn't much matter, in principle, which part of the elections process is being threatened.

Without a reliable elections process, the law, itself, becomes philosophically irrelevant.
