I knew this was coming. These people are grasping at straws.

UPDATE!

It was a hoax, but then us rational people knew that already didnt we?

THESE PEOPLE NEED TO BE HAPPY THAT THEY ARE NOT MSM, otherwise they will get their silly asses sued off. I am not going to say the obvious, but read Kims line from the original post...

Is this the new strategy to get Obama McCain elected? Vote Obama McCain or we'll riot, mutilate people and destroy property? Good God fearing white folk like us will have to fear Black Men running wild and violating our women...

Wizbang was looking for a scandal, especially a delicious RACIAL Scandal, and they jumped all over it.

Is this the new strategy to get Obama elected? Vote Obama or we'll riot, mutilate people and destroy property? Keep in mind, community activists used intimidation to get banks to give home loans to minority and high risk customers. They stormed bank lobbies and scared away customers. They harassed bank presidents at their homes. It seems they're willing to go even further and actually mutilate a McCain supporter. Will voters with McCain signs in their front yards be targeted, too?

To me, this is an argument to defeat Obama soundly on November 4th. We will not be intimidated into voting for Obama.

Update: Here's the story. A woman was robbed at an ATM in Pittsburgh. The guy was apparently going to leave until he saw her McCain/Palin sticker on her car. That's when he attacked her and mutilated her, carving a "B" on her face. An Obama supporter robbing someone, at random it seems, at an ATM and then leaving the mark of the messiah on her face when he sees she supports McCain. Thug.

Update II: Ed Morrissey has more, including a photo of the victim. She's identified herself as Ashley Todd, who's a College Republican field rep.

Update III: I got an email from a reader:

Just spoke with my friend who is a McCain staffer here in Pittsburgh. She said the woman was attacked after she left a McCain campaign meeting last night on the University of Pittsburgh campus. The assailant is described as african american male and she has identified, in detail, the attackers shoes. He beat her up "really bad" she said. Pittsburgh Police are in possession of a horrific photograph of the victim.

Race Baiting and HATRED!
Notice how the "attack" was painted as FACT (See my italics above).

Now they have egg on their face,

As many commenters here and at other blogs suspected upon seeing the picture of Ashley after she said she was attacked, she has admitted that she made up the story. I said at the end of my original post, after some began to think she was lying, that the ATM video would indicate what happened. Well, the ATM video proved that she was in fact lying. According the report, she will also face charges. As far as I'm concerned, she deserves everything she gets. I'd say she also needs some serious counseling because it's obvious she's messed up.

as do half the other folks who so desperate to paint fear on the face of this campaign did.
