McCain volunteer attacked and mutilated in Pittsburg

[DeusTrismegistus]

Drudge Report headline right now. Apparently a B was carved into her face, 20 year old woman. Developing story.

Crazy freaking election this year.

Send all these guys here, in Canada, by Greyhound.

[nianfong]

wth does the "B" stand for? that's fucked.

[Darthwing Teorist]

Maybe Barak. Yeah, it is sad.

[BinglebongBoppledeep]

I believe the "B" stands for, "Spreading The Wealth", ...

... to bad the attacker couldn't wait untill after the election.

Of course, the lady could have made the story up, and carved the "B" into her face herself, ...

... that's the first thing I thought of when I heard this, - and that is the first thing I thought of when a black college prof. had a noose hung on her front door, ...

... she probable put it there herself.

That's just the way I think.

Did MikeC get for reals banned? How did I miss that?

[nianfong]

he was banned for continuing to start shit and fling insults. that was several weeks ago already, soon after I posted the note asking him to tone it down.

Thanks, Fong. It was probably on a "political" thread...and I really try not to read those anymore but I keep getting pulled in like a giant idiot.

Here is a photo of the 'victim'.
Notice anything funny ?



The 'B' is a scratch and doesn't look like it was 'cut' into her face.
The 'B' is backwards, just as if she did it to herself using a mirror.
She refused medical treatment.
She did it to herself
Case closed !

To be fair, the photo may be reversed to help us come to that conclusion.

a la ..voila!

[Bär]

That's hella ugly if it's true...and Drudge being Drudge...

I also wouldn't exactly call that "mutilated," "carved" or even "cut." A more honest headline is "Woman attacked, given black eye and a capital B rubbed into face with eraser."

Mostly this election is about lots and lots of hyperbole.

[nianfong]

where's the source of the pic?

Fwiw:

"Ashley Todd has been identified as the 20-year-old McCain/Palin supporter who was allegedly attacked in Pennsylvania last night.

Todd was robbed at an ATM in Bloomfield and was also maimed by her attacker, apparently because of her political views, according to police.

According to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review (By way of Pittsburgh Channel), Ashley Todd, of College Station, Texas, was at the cash machine just before 9 p.m. on Wednesday when a man approached her and put a knife to her throat.

The Tribune reported that Todd, who is not familiar with the area, drove to a friend's house and called police.

According to friends, she is in Pittsburgh volunteering for the McCain-Palin campaign.

Pittsburgh police spokeswoman Diane Richard told Channel 4 Action News that the robber took $60 from the woman, then became upset when he saw a McCain bumper sticker on the victim's car.

The McCain camp told CBS station KDKA-TV that the victim is a Republican from Texas."

Well, ...
