Update: McCain Supporter Allegedly Attacked by Robber Over Bumper Sticker

KDKA: The 20-year-old woman said she was punched in the back of the head, knocked to the ground and the man etched the letter "b" on the right side of her face. Among other things, police are checking security cameras in the neighborhood to see what, if anything, they may have recorded. A photo obtained by the Drudge Report website showed the girl after the alleged assault. However, KDKA could not verify the authenticity of the photo.

LIAR!
bust this hag and her racist HOAX!

Anyone superior who conspired with this woman better get nailed too on this stunt.
If any Black person gets harmed because of this stupid hag playing games, and ginning up HATRED..all Hell will break loose.

What does the camera footage from the ATM camera show? What does the camera footage from the security cameras show? Why were no photos taken by the police? It seems odd that that they would not want to document the victim’s statement.

Black Eye for WHOM?   October 24th, 2008 - 3:43 am

Who took the photo and how did Drudge get it so quickly?

“It may the campaign for which she worked so hard that ends up with the real black eye.”

Jimbo   October 24th, 2008 - 3:56 am

Good Lord,

Now their reverting to malicious hoaxes? Is nothing sacred? Everyone knows the hag is faking a big hoax, even the McCain camp! I used to read the Drudge report regularly, but I’ve become so sick of their extreme right reporting, that I just ignore them. There is enough tearing apart going on in this country. And the far right is mostly the divider! Especially Faux news and Bill’o the clown!

loudobbsfan   October 24th, 2008 - 6:06 am

The lying hoaxer took the photo herself, she refused to let the cops take it. The “B” is upside down, like it was done in the mirror. Also, a knife would have at least broken the skin. And the cops have opened up an investigation of her for lying.

At first, I was enraged-when first read on Drudge.
Then I looked at a comment on Little Green Footballs-it saying to look at Hot Air, and the possibility of this being a hoax….went there and saw her face-noticeing her skin wasn’t broken.
What did the guy do? sit over her and etch that backwards B on her cheek….that would have taken some time to do.

Either which way, someone is dyslexic here.

Mary   October 24th, 2008 - 7:25 am

I’ll admit the “B” does raise some questions. However, I find highly unlikely that she gave herself a black eye..Plus, in my hometown…going to the ATM.. pretty much at any hour of the day, is like entering into a war zone. The stakes are pretty high that you will get robbed at an ATM machine..and by a black person…..Same thing going to the parking garage after work. We’re all sort of used to it. That’s why I carry a gun in my purse. We have a black mayor, a black assistant chief, black congress people, black campus police chief, black assistant DA..obviously they think this is the norm…And I can assure you..it wasn’t always like this. Get ready folks..your in for the ride of your life if Obama gets in..Previews of coming attractions.

demdicks   October 24th, 2008 - 8:06 am

mark, I’m going to use liberal logic so you can understand;
GO F%$K YOURSELF!!!!

loudobbsfan   October 24th, 2008 - 8:25 am

Its not a black eye, looks like painted on masquera. A woman getting punch by a man would leave a “swollen” eye. This is a hoax, that got bigger then the woman could have ever imagined.

jbh50   October 24th, 2008 - 9:07 am

And the MSM will gather mud on her and start slinging it in 1…2…3….

Larse   October 24th, 2008 - 9:59 am

Too late for MSM to start doubting. Michelle Malkin has beat them to it!!!

“Why that McCain volunteer’s “mutilation” story smells awfully weird” – Malkin, michellemalkin.com

http://tinyurl.com/5eygy8

Of course, hoaxes like this are typical of the Rove style of politics McCain has been forced to use by his lobbyist campaign staff. They think it is an effective way to campaign with the little money they have left. But the tracking poles show McCain is now in dramatic decline.

McCain should have gotten a decent campaign staff and run an honorable campaign. He probably would have still lost, but at least he would have then gone down with honor.

Mike   October 24th, 2008 - 10:24 am

Yeah, just like those Republicans, democrats would never do this.

(Besides anything involved with Al Sharpton.)

lou   October 24th, 2008 - 10:29 am

Why is this story still up. Foxnews has already debunked it. The lying hoaxer has already changed her story five times, according to the police department.

rachel1977   October 24th, 2008 - 10:30 am

The comments are unbelievable!

mark   October 24th, 2008 - 10:32 am

Liar, I want this WHOLE story busted open NOW, no putting this off until after the election and I want to know Drudge’s involvement in this story too,

“Speaking to Channel 4 Action News on Friday, Richard said they’re still questioning Todd because of some new developments.

“We have learned that the victim’s statement has a few inconsistencies in it and her statement has changed,” said Richard

Richard said Todd now says she isn’t sure if it was a bumper sticker on her car or a campaign button on her jacket that angered the attacker. Richard said Todd added new details to the attack, saying at one point she lost consciousness.

“She also indicated she was sexually assaulted as well. She indicated that when he had her on the ground he put his hand up her blouse and started fondling her. But other than that, she says she doesn’t remember anything else. So we’re adding a sexual assault to this as well,” Richard said.

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.”

This thing STINKS to high heaven!
I am not inciting a damn thing, SHE TRIED TO INCITE THIS RACIAL GARBAGE and dump it on Obama’s campaign.
The cr*p this B was upside down is proven a LIE, she said the attacker kneeled on her arms whiole stradling her chest.
Doesn’t know if it’s a button or bumper sticker, FORGETS there was sexual mollestation…OH HELL NO!

McBama   October 24th, 2008 - 10:50 am

Looks fake. The B is backwards. What a stupid girl.

Reality Check   October 24th, 2008 - 12:02 pm

OBAMA FANATICS are Blaming the Victim.

The Police did not take a Picture???

Really???

The Obama Fanatics want us to believe the Police in Pennsylvania are Morons ????

The police interview an assault victim and do NOT bother to take a photo as evidence ????

Obama obviously believe the folks in PA are both BITTER and MORONS.

Reality Check   October 24th, 2008 - 12:15 pm

OBAMA FANATICS are now Art Critics.

OBAMA FANATICS want us to believe that unless the Obama Supporter Muggiest attacks the victim in a amanner that meets their, the OBAMA FANATICS, art critic standards – it is the Victims Fault.

According to the OBAMA FANATICS the victim should have supervised the OBAMA SUPPORTER’s Carving of a “B” in her face to insure he did it in a manner that met with the OBMAMA FANATICS critical appreciation of the Art of face carving.

OBAMA FANATICS must believe all Americans are BITTER and MORONs.

Reality Check   October 24th, 2008 - 12:20 pm

I have the OBAMA solution to this problem.

The Federal Government needs to give 20% of every Bail Out to ACORN so they can start a training program.

Obviously their is a critical need for Training OBAMA Supporters in the Proper Way to Carve a “B” in the face of Americans who do not agree with OBAMA.

Reality Check

when exactly did Malkin join the Obama Fanatics?

got denial?

mark   October 24th, 2008 - 12:34 pm

btw Reality Check I am a freelance artist, and certainly have a better grasp of what can and can’t be carved easily with a knife vs a finer tool like a needle, and I know a MIRROR IMAGE instantly…infinitely more than you knew.

Reality Check   October 24th, 2008 - 12:41 pm

OBAMA FANATIC using the screen name “mark” attempts to confuse the issue:

“got a denial”

Reality Check writes:

It is OBSCENE that this OBAMA FANATIC wants to use his ARTISTIC EXPERTISE in FACE CARVING to blame the VICTIM.

Apparently “MSRK” wants Americans to believe it is the Victim’s fault that she did NOT SUPERVISE the OBAMA Supporter’s Face carving.

What exactly is your background “MARK” that makes you an expert on FACE CARVING. Do you have alot of experience carving up 20 year old women ????

Reality Check   October 24th, 2008 - 1:03 pm

OBAMA FANATIC using the Screen Name “mark” is also a LIAR:

“I am a freelance artist” “and I know a MIRROR IMAGE”

Reality Check writes:

As any normal person can plainly see from the picture the “B” is upside down. L:ke an attacker standing over her, holding her by the hair would make.

ANOTHER OBAMA FANATIC made the same observation about the “B” being upside down in this blog above.

Only an OBAMA FANATIC would would have Americans BELIEVE the Victim should have stood up and allowed a Mugger to carve her face with a knife, just so it would be right side up.

Police: McCain volunteer changes ATM attack story

Oct 24 12:23 PM US/Eastern
52 Comments

PITTSBURGH (AP) – Pittsburgh police say a McCain campaign volunteer who said she was held down by a black man who cut the letter “B” in her face has changed her story.
Police spokeswoman Diane Richard says investigators gave the 20-year-old woman a lie-detector test and are “looking at some inconsistencies” in her story.

The student, Ashley Todd, of College Station, Texas, initially said a black man robbed her at knifepoint Wednesday night and then cut her cheek after seeing a McCain sticker on her car.

Police say bank surveillance footage doesn’t show her at an ATM where she says she was attacked.

Todd, who is white, now says she was knocked unconscious and doesn’t remember being cut. She now says she only discovered the wound later.

No arrests have been made.

I know one arrest that should happen

Craig Allen   October 24th, 2008 - 1:42 pm

The B is not upside down, it is backwards. She did it in the mirror and made it look like a B to her eyes, making it backwards to our eyes.

DUH!

Not at fault   October 24th, 2008 - 2:10 pm

She admitted she lied. Guess the next reality check comes for you morons on Nov.4th. 14% and growing, this will make two civil war wins for the good people.

Thus proving again the GOP is made up of the three R’s, the rich, the racist and the retarded!

Breitbart bans honest comments, so I used a friends computer. HA!

She LIED & Will be Charged   October 24th, 2008 - 2:19 pm

She confessed that she made it up and will face charges. Just what the country needs–more hysteria and LIARS!

Larse   October 24th, 2008 - 2:23 pm

It’s over. She confessed:
