If there even was a black attacker (and that's in doubt) then what it comes down to is if the attack was racially motivated. If she was mugged, then it likely wasn't racially motivated.

If he was upset for her voting for McCain/Palin over Obama (which is the claim she's making despite being scratched with 'B' for some reason instead of O) then it was politically motivated.

If he shouted "take that whitey" while doing it, you could probably charge him with a hate crime for modified sentencing.

But if you're claiming that he, as an Obama supporter, naturally hates white folk. Or as someone who doesn't like McCain/Palin is a racist.. Then perhaps the racist is you. Because I know numerous 'white folk' who are terrified of having McCain/Palin anywhere near the White House and particularly that religious nutjob Palin near the launch codes.

That’s right, it appears that the Pittsburgh police are investigating the case of the McCain volunteer who claims she was beaten and robbed and had a ‘B’ carved into her cheek, and it may be a hoax.

The alleged victim claims that she was at an ATM in Pittsburgh when the alleged assailant approached her, robbed her of $60, then, noticing she had a McCain bumper sticker, beat her, and carved a ‘B’ into her cheek with a knife. As the photo indicates, the assailant must have done the deed very carefully, as not to cause permanent damage. The incident, although it had been claimed to happen right near the ATM, shows no evidence of the assault on the ATM’s security camera.

If Ashley Todd’s claims are false, this could be a media nightmare for the already beleaguered campaign that many charge with untruths meant to show their opponent as a terrorist and child molester.

A curious aspect to the photograph is the ‘B’ is backwards, as if the assailant carved the letter into the alleged victim’s cheek while looking in a mirror. More on this story as the investigation continues. Check back early, and often.

So Sorry Bill! I know that you republicans believe all you read, see and hear so I guess I should just post the story!!! (Didn't I say it was on AOL!!!!!)

As reported earlier by Caleb Howe, McCain volunteer Ashley Todd has told police that she was attacked and mugged at knifepoint, and that the attacker carved a backwards letter "B" on her cheek when he saw her McCain bumper sticker.

The Political Machine has discovered that the victim apparently posted Twitter updates, apparently minutes before the attack.

atodd: Stubbornly searching for a bank of america to avoid ATM fees. Thu, 23 Oct 2008 00:23:21 +0000

Todd told police that the attack occurred around 9pm. Todd's Twitter updates seem to be posting with the wrong time zone, 3 hours later.

These updates are a chilling bit of foreshadowing.

Okay. Let's post this one too just in case the point isn't forthcoming Bill! Why, any kindergarten scool child knows how to write a "Capitol B" the right way! More spin, more lies, more rumors, more gossip! Shame on the McCain/Palin campaign and it's constituents!!!!!!!
