You've got nothing. And you nutjobs are sounding increasingly shrill and desperate. Sad.
The only thing I dread about the day after this election is just how many of your heads will start spinning like Linda Blair when you wake up to find Barack Obama is President-elect!

It now is on Pittsburgh Live:

http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/new...
A knife-wielding man robbed a McCain-Palin campaign volunteer and etched a “B” into her face after he saw a McCain bumper sticker on the woman’s car, Pittsburgh police said.
Ashley Todd, 20, of College Station, Texas, was using an ATM at Liberty Avenue and Pearl Street in Bloomfield just before 9 p.m. Wednesday when a man approached her, put a knife to her throat and demanded $60, police said.
Todd handed the man $60 she had in her pocket and stepped away from him, investigators said. The man then noticed the bumper sticker on the woman's car, which was parked in front of the ATM. The man became very angry, made comments to Todd about John McCain and punched her in the back of the head, knocking her to the ground, police said.
"He continued to kick and punch her repeatedly and said he would teach her a lesson for supporting John McCain," said police Chief Nate Harper.
The man then carved the "B" into Todd's right cheek. Todd, who isn't familiar with the area, drove to a friend's house nearby and told her friend she wasn't sure of the exact location where the robbery took place but remembered a green sign above the ATM. The friend called police and the officer met them on Cypress Street in Bloomfield, police said.
Todd's friend offered to drive her back in the direction she came from to look at ATMs until she found the right one, police said. A police officer followed until Todd pointed out a Citizens Bank ATM at Liberty and Pearl, police said.
She declined medical treatment at the scene and said she would go to a hospital today.
Todd declined to comment.
"She is a volunteer for the McCain-Palin campaign," said campaign spokesman Peter Feldman. "Sen. McCain has reached out to her via telephone and has spoken to her and her family,” as has McCain’s running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, Feldman said. “Out of respect for her privacy we're not going to comment further."-

LOL, maybe I was just cranky when I posted that. Maybe because 99.5% of the posts I've read from him or her are little more than a nasty rant with no real information in them, ever. I must have been cranky, I do try to remain respectful, and no, I don't always succeed.

Just out of curiosity, what is it about my posts that would prompt you to say.....

I guess u havent been reading the posts of the right. Seems some of the most hateful posters are people like FSU, Tomatoes, Wolfie and the rest of the aLPHA tOMATO BUNCH. ANd when called on it its always intersting to liten to the feigned pain over someone calling them on a lie.

Oh and interstingly enough as it appears a lot of the Obama people had pointed out this story was faked AND oddly enough it now appears it was since the disterbed mcCain supporter is now being charged. ROFLMAO.

You don't know me or what I "thrive on" so please get over yourself. You read comments like mine all the time from those you agree with and you say nothing. We both know this so stop acting crazy. This is another one of your right wingers' extremely desperate and stupid "SHOCKING" or "BREAKING" or "RED HOT" stories which has NOTHING whatsoever to do with how rational, intelligent people should make their decisions as to which candidate to vote for.

You moronic cons are claiming that Obama is inciting violence but you're the ones who want to keep going on and on claiming he is a terrorist and a "socialist" or not an American citizen etc. based on long ago debunked HORSECRAP and, frankly, I'm sick to death of this and I'm thoroughly repulsed by your behavior.
Now, unlike you, I don't allow my participation here to be guided by whether people are "negging" me or not. I don't care. I care that my country has been poisoned, soiled, moved backwards and virtually destroyed by greedy, uneducated, malicious, and unbelievably self-important criminal cons who don't appreciate their voting rights and who misguidedly think they have a monopoly on patriotism. I don't freaking CARE what you cons think of me so don't waste your time lecturing me. I DO NOT CARE, con.-

I see this as the new attempt to scare white voters away from obama let's use the big bad black man beating on the little white girl tricks.
I know this for sure a woman was caught on tape ripping down Obama posters in AZ, Sever of them but no one makes a big deal of this.
Again this young lady is not telling the truth, the police has no record of her being at the bank in question. he republicans get things wrong all the time these days? This

How pathetic to be spamming the discussion of this reported horrible attack on a 20 year old woman.
Reply
On second thought, thank you so the people who read down this far can see how uncaring and hypocritical the Obama ideologues are.
Oh, just noticed, you are whining about an Obama rally - that means the people around were Obama supporters. Couldn't imagine any of them would slash a tire. NOPE never.-

How pathetic to try to cover up the systematic incitement of violence by McCain / Palin campaign.
Reply
Inciting Violence Against Obama
The McCain campaign has puffed up its chest recently about its headfirst dive into the mud. ..
Going beyond Palin’s role as a mud slinger, in the past few days rhetoric coming from McCain and Palin has lead to multiple instances where audience members volunteer that Obama is a “terrorist” and the response should be to “kill him,” ...

How un-American of you. Its awful what happened to this young woman but her face was NOT slashed as you have stated. It was scratched. Don't blow things out of proportion. You are diminishing what really happened to her by exaggerating the truth.-

I think you need to remember the righties love to do that, Remember the false story they forwarded about how a certain NFL star was killed and it turns out it was by friendly fire. The REPUBLICANS seem to continually show how party is much more important then country or honor. Karly continues to show that trait with the half-truths and distortions she continues to post. Goebbels would be proud.

Actually FSU, I added a whole series of stories about violence from McCain supporters, including physical attacks on people, shortly after Karly submitted this story.
Reply
Karly was so incensed by this information that she did all she could to insert posts that would push the information down the page (page through, you will see them).
In a few cases I used secondary sources that had gathered information from several primary sources, often parallel newspaper and TV reports, in one place and provided several links on one page. Rather than follow the links to the primary sources, Karly tried denigrate the coupled information in the secondary pages.
I don't know about you, but to me this says Karly is not interested in all the information, but rather seems to be trying to stir up hatred and violence.

Dionys - This is to be expected every last black stereotypes is going to be in play now. If you cant beat Obama on the issues why not revert to the old standard, remind White America of how scary they have made the black man out to be. I have had friends that are shocked that blacks are not out gloating.
Reply
One of the things that this Obama campaign has done is to show that blacks are not as they are depicted on the news. I went to the million man march and i learn something there about the news...a lot of the men there were well dressed and well educated but they (the media) only looked for the black men that were in their big gold chains or without teeth to interview.
That event has been misrepresented so much in the media it was intended to hold black men responsible and it did for the most pare but i hear people speaking of the million man march as if it was an attack on white America as if it's intent was to intimidate when that was sooo far away from what it was meant to be.
I say all this to make this point, a lot of what white America think of black people are distortions from the media. It's not true i know most of you know this but people like this young lady still doesn't get it!

Karlyc: "Here is another article on another attack by Obama partisans on McCain supporters"
Reply
Do you know the difference between fact and assumption (or truth and lie for that matter)? There is not a shred of evidence in either of these cases that the attacker was an Obama supporter.
Do you know the difference between scratching and carving? In your titles, you should stick to the story as reported.
Do you know the difference between the letter B and its mirror image? I guess it's safe to assume that when the attacker scratched the letter B into the victim's face, he was facing the victim, so it would be logical that, unless he was left-handed, he would scratch the letter into her left cheek and that we, who are facing the victim, would see the letter B and not its mirror image. If, on the other hand, the scratch was made by the victim herself, then both the right cheek and the mirror image make perfect sense. I'm not saying that she did it, because I don't know. All I'm saying is that we shouldn't jump to conclusions before all the facts are in.-

"apparently because of her political views, Pittsburgh police said........Friends said she is in Pittsburgh volunteering for the McCain-Palin campaign...............The Obama-Biden campaign released a statement, commenting on the attack. The statement said, "Our thoughts and prayers are with the young woman for her to make a speedy recovery, and we hope that the person who perpetrated this crime is swiftly apprehended and brought to justice."

reveling........the back and forth tit for tat, my side this, your side that. It may not have been the best word I could have used, but it seems to me that the story of this girl attacked or delusional enough to do it to herself, is a sad story.
The same old name calling, repug, democrap. It's as though no one really cares about the girl, not really. She's just chum for some to chew up and spit out as another hate fest. Your challendge of me is an example of the feeding frenzy. I specified Obama in my post because I was responding to a post that quoted the Obama campaign. I gave them credit for being good people. Follow the example of your chosen leader. Spit out the toxic poison, don't swallow it, or is it too late?-

So lets see the back and forth tit for tat? Last aI looked Karly is a right wing Poster who put this article out her to somehow imply it was Obama who called for this. When she gets called on this there is this feigned outrage of chewing the victim and spitting her out??? ROFLMAO, lets not forget it seems she was useful to the righties as a possible news stoiry and it was the right who distorted what happened to her into an attack by political opponents using her to further their own goals.

Now that we all know it was a stupid hoax........you still won't see that I automatically supported this girl, I said it was a sad story because I looked at the pic, I didn't believe her. I didn't, for me personally, want call her a liar before having more information. I saw people who did, but not being nasty about it. That's discussion, no problem. I have seen many thoughtful people here that, whether I agree with them or not, don't automatically start the name calling as though trashing one another is more important than the article under discussion. I didn't comment specifically on Karlyc, I called out both sides for the feeding frenzy.

I do specifically comment on this kind of story and those who post them. The person in question has a history here of posting stories that seem more designed to stir up hatred and violence than anything else. Many of the stories are subsequently shown to be false (and many are pretty preposterous to begin with).

There is no "seeming" about it, hyperbola. Karlyc and other cons' stories are meant to poison the internet with negative stories (true or not) about Obama. They know it's wrong to shoot now and ask questions later. They just don't care.

''There is not a shred of evidence in either of these cases that the attacker was an Obama supporter.''
Reply
the really sad part Candida, is it doesn't even matter if it IS true
an Obama supporter commttied a crime, a McCain supporter committed a crime
there's a freakin news story-it wouldn't surprise me if ALL criminals had a political opinion and liked one of the candidates more than the other
I always know when something is really stupid-you know how? When even a word machine like me is incapable of pointing out WHY something is stupid-that's how I know something is absurd
explaining why this is dumb is like explaining to someone why going out in th rain heightens ones chances of getting wet
an Obama or McCain supporter did something bad...does it reflect on the candidates? no. Does it reflect on other Obama and McCain supporters? no.
why not?
again, how to even explain something so obvious...people are individuals-we know this is scientific fact because we have different bodies and can occupy two different places at once. One guy who believes something can be good, one guy who believes the same thing can be bad. 'Not all who say Lord Lord...' etc etc. A bad Christian does not reflect on Christ, and also does not reflect on other Christians.
I go on to read a little more to see if the 'Obama attacker' is left as fill in the blanks fodder or anyone actually says 'see, Obama bad, supporters bad'. I'm betting on generalized negativity and open-ended 'reporting on the news, not what the news means' and allowing insinuation and inference to do the legwork.
But who knows, I may be surprised -

You need to understand with the right its much more dramatic to jump to conclusions then to wait for the facs. Its seems to be a trait that frames that group. Look at Bush and his rush to war, instead of allowing the inspectors to finish i.e. letting the facts come out, he moved to STOP THAT and rushed into a war of lies. The worst thing that can happen to the right wing IS the facts coming out that totally removes the poor me Im a victim play they seem to love to use now.

antibrainwasher??? What do you think you just posted? Brainwash. Let people make their own decisions without the nasty rhetoric you've just written. The economy was on the road to destruction when Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were implemented. Many, many people profited from these two institutions, along with much corruption and strangleholds. You need some very lengthy psychological help. Your rantings are scary, which is typical of extreme left wing zealots.

This is a primal fear being manifested. It has nothing to do with Republicans, Democrats, Liberals, Progressives, Conservatives, whatever, what-have-you.
This has everything to do with a classist and racist brainwashing that has been perpetrated in this country for hundreds of years. There is no way reasonable way to deal with this fear other than to do it case-by-case, however it manifests.
Sadly, this fear will intensify through Election Day, and if Obama wins, may become even worse.
This isn't to say that the man should not be elected. Clearly, he is (to me) the choice that America truly needs. But I'm straying from my point.
The one thing the Civil Rights era failed to see through is on Dr. King's vision where a wo/man be judged by the content of his (her) character. What needs to happen for this to come about is an honest-to-goodness discussion about racial relations in America-- our issues, our problems, our prejudices and our hurdles. Hell, make it a reality show. Until we can have a dialogue, the fear brought on by a person's race will only perpetuate.
