I have been following this story and was upset by it. Another "Susan Smith" story, meaning because she is a "white woman" who is a McCain supporter, she was attacked and mutilated by a "black man."
Well, the McCain/Palin team called her, offered condolences and the Obama Campaign issued a statement, only having the young woman LIE ABOUT IT.
The woman, Ashley Todd, said this was a "political attack". A member of the College Republicans was in Bloomfield, PA (outside of Pittsburgh) to work the campaign. Well, the police got it out of her, that is the truth.
Police tell KDKA that a campaign volunteer has now confessed to making up a story that a mugger attacked her and cut the letter B in her face after seeing her McCain bumper sticker.
Ashley Todd, 20, of Texas, initially told police that she was robbed at an ATM in Bloomfield and that the suspect became enraged and started beating her after seeing her GOP sticker on her car.
Police investigating the alleged attack, however, began to notice some inconsistencies in her story and administered a polygraph test.
What this young woman did was atrocious. She plotted and blatantly LIED about a "supposed" horrible incident that could touch on many racial fears. She did it on purpose and did it willingly.
She should be charged with hate crime, intent of creating a hate crime, lying, and everything else that they can throw at her.
As for the McCain/Palin Campaign and FOX News who jumped all over this, next time get the damn FACTS, again, FACTS before jumping on a sensational story that just deflated in a bust.
As more details unravel, it was the McCain Campaign that pushed this now discredited story.
