As noted, it's been proven not only as false but noted that McCain's director of communications in PA added fuel to the flames by embellishing the story to the press. Of ocurse the freepers have advanced an idiotic story that Todd was an Obama plant. Now come more tempered, but confirmed, reports that an Obama volunteer was attacked by a McCain supporter when she had the poor luck to canvass his home.

IT’S A HOAX, FOLKS!

Quickest episode of CSI ever.

Nice job creating a racist nightmare scenario to get people in PA concerned about big black men carving Bs into nice little white girls.

TRY AGAIN McCAIN SUPPORTERS!

IT IS A HOAX – She clearly was trying to jin up racial tension in the hopes of swinging PA for McCain – it is disgusting:

Clearly a hoax. Maybe she did get mugged (though I doubt it) but its clear that the person had a lot of time to do the “B” on her face. On top of that, police report that he held her arms down on her chest with his knees. So, either it’s backwards because of some extreme dyslexia, or she did it in a mirror. Apparently the mugger did all this out of camera view. If she was just stopping off at an ATM she probably wouldn’t park far away. Usually I will park right in front or even double-park if I don’t use the drive-through ATM. Lastly, she said she was looking for a Bank of America on her twitter, to “avoid fees.” But this all happened at a Citizens Bank? Come on… at least stick with your story. I bet she didn’t know she’d get an investigation and probably just figured she would get some fame and some elections for McCain. The reason she doesn’t know “which direction he ran” is because she’s obviously unsure of cameras in the area, or if anyone was around in certain places. She would hate to say “he went that way” only to find out “that way” had a camera angled in the direction and caught no one.

Besides being backwards, how about the fact that the B is perfectly uniform, and in Helvetica?

Or that she claimed her attacker mugged her wearing just an undershirt in 43 degree weather?

Or that she was twittering before and after the attack?

Or that she refused medical attention, but blogged and posted photos?

Or that she didn’t bother to use her phone to find a Bank of America (there aren’y any in pittsburgh), and instead drove around unfamiliar neighborhoods?

Or that she twittered “I’m on the wrong side of town” but still left her car to withdraw $60?

Sorry, not buying it. I’m disappointed in both campaigns for addressing it, and more so in the police and media for pushing this story. Hopefully it will be debunked sometime Friday.

If you check out the picture she has posted, you may become more skeptical – notice that the “B” is not ‘cut’ into her face – it is more like an ‘abrasion’ – or low level “scratch” – this is fortunate for the victim because she will likely not have any scarring – but difficult to reconcile with the “violent” attack that she claims. If there is a vigorous struggle – and a knife, skin is going to get cut – and probably severely.
Also look at the eyes – while there is the appearance of a black eye, there is no evidence of the swelling that would be expected – and swelling does not instantly go away in facial trauma.
I’d hope this young woman gets all the care she needs & that only the truth is told. If somebody did this to her, they should be caught & punished – but if this actually is made up, I hope that the police don’t subsequently identify an innocent 6′ 4″ 200lb black man as a suspect.

Okay…the guy robs her and just stays in the area buying Starbucks coffee or something.

Come on folks…The robber follows politics but doesn’t think this woman will call the cops after he robber her?
