According to WTAE's news exchange partners at the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Ashley Todd, of College Station, Texas, was using an ATM at Liberty Avenue and Pearl Street just before 9 p.m. Wednesday when a man approached her and put a knife to her throat.
Police spokeswoman Diane Richard said the robber took $60 from Todd, then became angry when he saw a McCain bumper sticker on the victim's car. The attacker then punched and kicked the victim, before using the knife to scratch the letter "B" into her face, Richard said. http://www.thepittsburghchannel.com/news/17789356/detail.html

Just amazingly awful. Both sides have their fair share of wack jobs, unfortunately.

This kind of thing is precisely why I don't have a McCain bumper sticker or lawn sign. In my neighborhood (also Pittsburgh) it would be like saying "Please, come break my car windows and vandalize my home! I'm begging you!". And it's exactly why I don't have Obama stickers on my car or signs in my lawn. This is not limited to just crazies on one side. They are everywhere in both parties.

Frankly, this has all the earmarks of a phony crime ala Tawanna Brawley. Maybe I'm wrong.

I just have to say that political correctness makes this all just fine.... Ok??
No it does not. Political correctness may have its faults, but making this all just fine is not one. Carving someone's face is not politically correct.
Not OK at all.

This is a very sad situation. She not only brought some negative attention to McCain, but greatly offended the African-American culture. I just can't imagine what was going through her head. I just hope she gets the help she so desperately needs.

on the news they're saying "how come the B is backwards?"

its bad enough the christians on here believed such a story right away as a fact.

I'm no McCain fan, but I believed it. Up here, we get people fighting/killing each other over baseball teams.

Hmm or is somebody not giving Michele Malkin the credit she deserves? (Note date in below link)
I'm not a fan of Ms. Malkin but she did call it and it was against her own party so to speak. I wish more journalists would follow the story wherever it leads, regardless of their own ideology.

Some people will do anything for a few minutes of fame. Tooooo bad that McCain has to suffer along with her.

Sad that someone feels they have to lie to get some attention, well she is getting some now.
The problem I had from the get go on this one was that the "B" was scratched in way too neatly to have been done during a mugging attack.
Thanks

I saw the picture for the first time last night and it didn't look right. That is what caught my eye.

Neat and backwards... that was what got me suspicious, too.
