Campaign Worker Admits Making Up Story Of ATM Attack

AP: Ashley Todd, 20-year-old college student from College Station, Texas, admitted Friday that the story was false and was being charged with making a false report to police, said Maurita Bryant, the assistant chief of the police department's investigations division. Police doubted her story from the start, Bryant said.

Investors Business Daily poll shows that McCain and Obama are tied.

McCain can win this race.

To help John win, he needs our support!

On March 2006 when Crystal Gail Mangum, a black stripper and escort, a student at North Carolina Central University, FALSELY accused three white members of Duke University’s men’s lacrosse team of raping her at a party held at the house of two of the team’s captains in Durham, North Carolina.
On April 11, 2007, North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper dropped all charges and declared the three players innocent.
The Prosecuting Attorney Nifong was disbarred for “dishonesty, fraud, deceit and misrepresentation,” making Nifong the first prosecutor in North Carolina history to lose his law license based on actions in a case. Nifong was found guilty of criminal contempt and served one day in jail.

Crystal Gail Mangum, the black stripper who created all of this, received nothing….These boys lives were ruined and she got a slap on the wrist..And believe this !!!the b**ch is writing a frigon book.

The first breaking story here via Drudge brought all the racist neocons crawling out of the woodwork — when even then it was plainly obvious she was probably fabricating the whole thing. It’s very sad.

But what’s even sadder are all the racist people who use anything as an excuse to drum up fear and try to use it for political gain just because Obama’s skin isn’t the same shade.

That’s all McCain & “Friends” are running on: fear, hate, and lies. America should be better than that.

Oh…and the first and second amendments are bad too so you want them dumped along with all our Judeo-Christian values too.
And you support killing unborn children who have been in their mother’s wombs for 9 months too…( Obama wants that parcial birth abortion to return)
Oh…and you think everything should be given to you abd all lazy bums for free by the Govt.
Oh…and you want to shut up any opposition. And crush all parenst who protest against their religion being taken away from them when they are against gay sex being t5aught to 6 year olds too.Obama supports that.

Particularly disturbing is Obama’s use of children in his media campaign in which Obama draws upon Hitleresque imagery. On October 2 2008, News Busters presented an Obama media ad which featured a group of children dressed in paramilitary uniforms ritualistically shouting out their praise for Obama. View Entire Story Here.

This use of children by Obama’s campaign staff, in a methodology reminiscent of ‘Hitler’s Youth,’ was a follow-up to a previous media ad which showed children chanting a tribute to Obama with fists high in the air, shouting out, “Obama, Obama!” View Entire Story Here.

Obama is indeed utilizing Hitler’s Youth program to create a “youthful” enthusiasm for his presidential bid. But not only this, the ad showing children dressed in paramilitary uniforms is a propagandizing “suggestive method” to prepare American youth for Obama’s compulsory ‘home service.’

BY A PROCESS OF GRADUALISM, Barack Obama will establish a ‘home service’ contingent made up of 14 to 24 year old American children patterned after ‘Hitler’s Youth.’

Do not be fooled by Obama’s call for “voluntary service.” Obama’s youth programs will be compulsory as stated within the text of his Web Site outline.

Obama plans on beginning with a program entitled, Green Job Corps, an energy-focused youth program, which will demand a mandatory & compulsory “50 hours of community service a year” for junior high and high school students — and “100 hours per year” for college students. Obama, the fascist puppet of his enablers, David Rockefeller & Zbigniew Brzezinksi, will thus bring our American youth under complete state control.

Following this “gradualism,” of what appears on the surface as an innocuous “energy-focused” youth program, Obama plans on establishing a mandatory paramilitary youth program which he dubs, The Ameri Corps. In this program, Obama will demand that American youth from ages 14 to 24 “serve” the needs of “defending America” as an adjunct to the US military.

Is it any wonder then that Obama is presenting himself as a Hitleresque role model for his coming fascist state? Voters beware!

Following the controversy over the authenticity of Barack Obama’s birth certificate can be a bit confusing with all its detailed analysis. Your humble correspondent will leave that up to the experts. However, in response to the charge that Barack Obama is not an American citizen, Obama’s Fight the Smears website, quoting FactCheck.Org, has made a bombshell admission…Barack Obama was once a citizen of Kenya. You read that right, Obama had Kenyan citizenship until 1982. Here is the startling admission published in Fight the Smears (emphasis mine):

“When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children.

Since Sen. Obama has neither renounced his U.S. citizenship nor sworn an oath of allegiance to Kenya, his Kenyan citizenship automatically expired on Aug. 4, 1982.”

So according to Fight the Smears itself, Obama’s Kenyan citizenship expired on Aug. 4, 1982 meaning he held Kenyan citizenship until that point. This is astounding and so far no mainstream media outlet has reported on it. Will some reporter out there be so bold as to ask Obama if he was a Kenyan citizen until his 21st birthday as his own website concedes?

Until reading of this Kenyan citizenship admission, I thought the lawsuit claimng that Obama was born in Kenya filed by Clinton supporter, Phil Berg, in Philadelphia was of minor import. However, by responding to it in the way it did, the Fight the Smears website has just opened up a big can of worms for Obama in its admission that he was a citizen of Kenya until 1982.

Meanwhile, instead of simply producing the original birth certificate in court and put the matter to rest, the Obama campaign seeks to evade that action by attempting to dismiss the lawsuit entirely. Here is the latest report on this lawsuit from the Phoenixville News:

We didn’t even have to bring up little piper’s nice new Louis Vuitton bag that cost more than all of Joe the plumber’s tools of his trade…

Then she can add “Dumb” to the other cheek.

The Prophet Obama   October 24th, 2008 - 8:09 pm

“When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children.

Since Sen. Obama has neither renounced his U.S. citizenship nor sworn an oath of allegiance to Kenya, his Kenyan citizenship automatically expired on Aug. 4, 1982.”

So according to Fight the Smears itself, Obama’s Kenyan citizenship expired on Aug. 4, 1982 meaning he held Kenyan citizenship until that point. This is astounding and so far no mainstream media outlet has reported on it. Will some reporter out there be so bold as to ask Obama if he was a Kenyan citizen until his 21st birthday as his own website concedes?

Read and WEEP
“Big news just hit the fan for McCain. I knew this was a bogus Drudge story when it came out that she refused medical treatment for her wounds. I’ve been through enough these last few years and know the pain would have been incredible and anyone of us would have begged for a doctor immediately. Well, it looks like the McCain campaign has their fingers all over this phony volunteer attack story and that’s big trouble for him.

John McCain’s Pennsylvania communications director told reporters in the state an incendiary version of the hoax story about the attack on a McCain volunteer well before the facts of the case were known or established — and even told reporters outright that the “B” carved into the victim’s cheek stood for “Barack,” according to multiple sources familiar with the discussions.”

Wow the vitriolic here as if none of you’ve even admitted you know well how much the media lies, hypes and smears.

Heh, just watched this clip about car chases and their subsequent crashes. On one, you can clearly hear the guy in the helicopter stating that pedestrians were dashing and leaping out of the way of this fleeing maniac … but the announcer of show and this video clip laughed and stated if anyone could find any ‘pedestrians’ in that clip, please write in.
There were no pedestrians jumping out of the way, didn’t even see any on that particular clip to begin with, all highways and byways.

The media guy in the sky was lying on the fly.

Nothing to see here, Business as usual folks,
but the tricks to set the viciousness level of Americans towards each other is rather low these days, sad to see.

This woman needs a reprimand, some help and that’s all – but now she’s simple fodder to hammer hate with instead.

Hugh Hewitt gots some ’splainin to do


HH: Joining me to discuss this and the assault on a McCain volunteer in Pittsburgh, where a robber enraged by her McCain bumper sticker carved the letter “B” in her face is Columnist To the World, Mark Steyn. Mark, you know, we hear a lot about people hollering things at McCain rallies, but now we’ve got evidently an Obama robber who’s also a mutilator. Think the media will cover this?

MS: Well, I would hope so. I mean, this is a horrible story. It reminds me of some of these stories you get out of German cities where Muslim youths find an uncovered woman walking about the streets the same age as this young lady, and they will cut her from ear to ear so that she’s not able to go out again in anything but a burka. And in a sense, it’s about the same thing.”

Now we put Hewitt’s and other cowardly little snivling tards “goods” in a vice, til they start singing about who was selling this story everywhere…and they’ll sing like Babs.

Craig Allen   October 24th, 2008 - 11:30 pm

Born WHERE? To whom? His mother’s citizenship?

“If in fact Obama was born in Kenya, the laws on the books in the United States at the time of his birth stated if a child is born abroad and one parent was a U.S. Citizen, which would have been his mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, Obama’s mother would have had to live ten (10) years in the United States, five (5) of which were after the age of fourteen (14). At the time of Obama’s birth, his mother was only eighteen (18) and therefore did not meet the residency requirements under the law to give her son (Obama) U.S. Citizenship much less the status of ‘natural born.’”

Larse   October 24th, 2008 - 11:59 pm

Poor girl…

She totally ruined McCain’s chances in the statistically insignificant 5% of the odd poll results out there…

Like a silver stake through the heart, this fat Texas girl managed to just simply kill off all of McCain’s chances now…

So sad, that McCain’s campaign came finally down to this very odd fatality…

I’m ashamed of the campaign I’ve seen from McCain/Palin, and it had NOTHING to do with those lame Town Hall meetings McCain whines about, he has gotten MEAN and FOUL and doing anything to win. Powell and John Lewis tried to warn him, and he ignored them.
U S senators should shun McCain when he returns to the senate.

Nikkofly   October 25th, 2008 - 5:08 am

But the plot thickens!! You can be sure you won’t hear this from the media because they refuse to pursue or print anything that could be damning to their messiah (funny how the party of atheists has become so religious as of late — all they needed was the right kind of messed-up messiah to make them get on bended knee).

What would you like to bet that little miss backwards B cheek is an obama-nation supporter who agreed to play the part of a whacked-out McCain supporter?!? Much stranger things have happened. Tawana Brawley ring a bell? It certainly wouldn’t be beneath dems to perpetrate such an act, since NOTHING is beneath them. They are the party of anything goes since they have zero values or morals to guide them.

I put my money on this being a liberal scam made to look like a conservative scam. Simple to pull off, and safe from scrutiny since the media will drop the ball the instant it looks like it might harm their annointed one.

I haven’t read any of the other posts on this article, so I didn’t get this idea from somewhere else. Came up with it all by my lonesome, and the only people who will be calling me crazy are those who have the most to suffer from it being true.

“If this young woman, made up this story to incite people to go against one or the other candidate, she should be prosecuted to the full intent of the law.”

“Just don’t give her a slap on the wrist. In addition…she should go under psychological testing…because she and others like her…are disturbed and need to be treated.”

Eileen for McCain/Palin October 24th, 2008 – 2:35 pm

“This young woman needs to be prosecuted for filing a false police report.”

“She also needs to have a full psychological profile done on her, and so does anyone else who does such a thing, because she is definitely disturbed and needs to be treated.”
=============================================

However, it is perfectly OK for George W. Bush to make stuff up about Iraq and go kill hundreds of thousands of people. No psychological testing for this Texas psychopath, eh Eileen? Republican corporate war justification, lying, fraud and mass murder just doesn’t go as far as it used to.

George W. Bush- America can’t wait literally to get rid of him.

Your comment is awaiting moderation.

In reponse to:

“542. tsolie October 24th, 2008 – 10:11 pm

As I understand it, Acorn workers induced by pay or otherwise, people to register multiple times, often using names such as John Cheney. Some signed up as many as 75 times, reportedly. My question is, how can that possibly affect the election? That person, John Cheney, can only vote once and may well not vote at all. No doubt some of Acorn’s employees committed fraud on their employer (or at the behest of Acorn), but how does that benefit any candidate? Educate me please.”

In States where one merely registers and then immediately votes absentee without the legality in place to be a resident for a certain amount of time and the proof to show for that residency, such an individual can simply file numerous false names at the same address and then go to the next State with the same lax laws and do so again. Done so on an organized scale it can be detrimental to the actual will of the people and without the means to catch it. False registrations in States not so lax in their laws will be worthless, but it makes for great diversionary cover for those engaged in States that do have the lax laws.

Dear Wanker in the tanker for the “Messiah of Islam” at 5:34 a.m. (wow you are up early!)…

President Bush is our sitting President. I voted for him twice…I would not vote for him a third time for many reasons.

I did not or do not always agree with him…but I have respect for the office of the Presidency not to do anything to trash my sitting President as some in the media, on these blogs and in Hollywood do!

In fact many of the socialist/communistic “new” Democratic party and their leaders have done just that…trashing not only our sitting President here in America…but overseas before our allies and enemies! That would have never, ever been done or condoned under the Presidency of Reagan or any Presidents prior too him.

Everyone had respect in America, back then, for the office. We have lost alot of things here in America…and we need to go back to what America was in order to take her where she should be!

GOD BLESS AMERICA THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE…MAY OUR GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS OUR GREAT NATION…AS WE LOOK TO HIM FOR GUIDANCE

Bush screwing up EVERYTHING he touched for eight LONG years hadn’t given Democrat voters quite the level of intensity to come out voting in MASSIVE numbers, so McCain campaign gave us that little kicker of a PHONEY racist scare story.
NOW we have just the correct amount of INTENSITY to stand in line 12 hours (if need be) to get you all OUT of our government.
I suggest Democrats go to the polls with a backwards Mc drawn on their cheeks, it will be great psy-ops for Republicans, and make that tedious exit polling UNNECESARY

In North Carolina, where Senator Elizabeth Dole seems set to loose, Republicans are running adverts that appear to take an Obama victory for granted, warning that the Democrat will have a “blank cheque” if her rival Kay Hagen wins. “These liberals want complete control of government in a time of crisis,” the narrator says. “All branches of Government. No checks and balances.”

Democrats lead in eight of the 12 competitive Senate races and need just nine gains to reach their target of 60. Even Mitch McConnell, the leader of Senate Republicans, is at risk in Kentucky, normally a rock solid red state.

A private memo on the likely result of the congressional elections, leaked to Politico, has the Republicans losing 37 seats.

Ed Rollins, who masterminded Ronald Reagan’s second victory in 1984, said the election is already over and predicted: “This is going to turn into a landslide.”
