mccain supporters get crazier

[cacophony]

http://www.thepittsburghchannel.com/news/17789356/detail.html

so this woman shows up at the police station with a fake black eye (http://www.turbofark.com/bcarvedintoface.jpg) and a story about how a "dark skinned black man" mugged her and beat her up to teach her a lesson about voting for mccain. oh, and then he then carved a letter B into her face.

then the story changes, she refuses medical treatment, she adds details, she says the knife was dull and that's why it didn't break the skin, etc etc etc...

and the police, unsurprisingly, are suspicious.


this election has brought out the crazies in unprecedented numbers.

[Deckard]

That's just mad.

I wonder if Jesus told her to do it?

[dubman]

help help a dyslexic Big Black Man™ cut my face with a butter knife...

man, what. fucking idiots...

[Sean]

Something that jumped out at me when I first saw the picture of her yesterday was that the "B" that this supposed angry black man carved into her face is backwards, as if it was....I don't know....done while looking in a mirror perhaps?

Maybe she was really attacked, but it is a bit suspicious.


EDIT - She's admitted that she made the story up! (http://kdka.com/local/attack.McCain.Bloomfield.2.847628.html)

AAAAND FOLD.

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) ― Police say a campaign volunteer confessed to making up a story that a mugger attacked her and cut the letter B in her face after seeing her McCain bumper sticker; now she's facing charges.

At a news conference this afternoon, officials said they believe that Ashley Todd's injuries were self-inflicted. Todd, 20, of Texas, is now facing charges for filing a false report to police. Todd initially told police that she was robbed at an ATM in Bloomfield and that the suspect began beating her after seeing her GOP sticker on her car. Police investigating the alleged attack, however, began to notice some inconsistencies in her story and administered a polygraph test. Investigators asked Todd to return to the police station today for more questioning and to help them release a composite sketch of the suspect.

When she did, police say she admitted that she made the whole thing up and that it snowballed out of control. Todd told investigators today that she "just wanted to tell the truth" – adding that she was neither robbed, nor attacked. Todd told police that while she did not remember how the backward "B" got on her face, she may have done it herself since she was the only one in the car when she saw it. According to police, Todd said she thought of Barack Obama when she saw the "B" in her rearview mirror.

Officials say they do not believe any other people were involved; and Todd's friends believed the story about the attack – encouraging her to call police.

What? A McCain supporter who places blame for her own actions on the media? It's unimaginable....:rolleyes:

Here's a clip from CNN with the Asst. Chief Maurita Bryant of the Pittsburgh PD talking about the case.

It's Willie Horton 2008. Yay.

On the lighter side, John McCain's brother, Joe, called 911 for a traffic report. (http://www.news8.net/news/stories/1008/563913.html)

Operator: 911 state your emergency

Caller: It's not an emergency, but do you know why on one side at the damn drawbridge of 95 traffic is stopped for 15 minutes and yet traffic's coming the other way?

Operator: Sir, are you calling 911 to complain about traffic?

(pause)

Caller: "(Expletive) you." (caller hangs up)

LOL 2 points!

[dubman]

the real kicker is that her story actually does change every time ;)

[Spooky Shoes]

When does this political debacle reach it's conclusion?

[BeautifulBurnout]

When does this political debacle reach it's conclusion?

One would logically say after the 5th November, but frankly I don't think it is going to be over there, because whoever wins, we will be subjected to allegations of voting irregularities, although I hope not on the scale of 2000.

This story is completely out there where the buses don't run. :eek:

[gambit]

Maybe not if it's a landslide for Obama.

[BeautifulBurnout]

Speaking of crazy supporters:

Nuttiest. Article. Evah!

Obama is Satan-Worshipper, says Fox News (http://foxforum.blogs.foxnews.com/2008/10/23/jpinkerton_1023/)

You should read some of the comments if you fancy a really good belly-laugh! :D:D

[gambit]

I like how he cites Ann Coulter as a reputable source. But really, now they're just getting desperate.

[Deckard]

When does this political debacle reach it's conclusion?
All things being well, the fireworks going off here in Britain on November 5th will represent another reason to celebrate.

Unless it goes the other way, in which case, we enter a V for Vendetta scenario. ;)

I've been holding off my party for January 20th until I get positive results.
