I think your observations are quite astute, but it's too early to know for sure. I do look forward to following this very important case as it progresses through the media and the courts over the next several years.
the media will descend on this poor women like they did with Joe the Plumber, within a week expect to find out if she owes any taxes, is even licensed to drive a car, and ever was caught shoplifting a 35 cent pack of chewing gum.
Yea, that is why I figure she would be a complete fool to have made this up.
Throughout my career, Ive covered dozens of fake hate crimes campus hate crime hoaxes, Muslim hate crime hoaxes, fake noose hangings, etc., etc., etc. Most were perpetrated by liberals, but there have been some shameful ones on our side of the aisle as well.
Ive reported on the great lengths that warped attention-seekers have gone to in perpetrating fake hate crimes, including beating themselves up, carving swastikas on their dorm room doors and walls, locking themselves in bathroom stalls, and burning down their own houses.
Which is why Im not jumping up and down with outrage over Drudge-promoted story of a McCain volunteer claiming to have been attacked by a black man whom she accused of carving a B in her face after spotting her McCain bumper sticker.
She refused medical treatment after reporting the incident to police.
she might be a fool then.
Michelle Malkin Why that McCain volunteer’s “mutilation” story smells awfully weird; Update: Police to administer polygraph; conflicting evidence at scene
her account (no pun intended) of the attack is reported not to jive with the ATM security camera. Police will be administering a lie detector test.
F.O., did you not notice the B is backwards? transposing the picture would not do that.
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) ― Police sources tell KDKA that a campaign worker 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.
Authorities, however, declined to release the results of that test.
Investigators did say that they received photos from the ATM machine and "the photographs were verified as not being the victim making the transaction."
This afternoon, a Pittsburgh police commander told KDKA Investigator Marty Griffin that Todd confessed to making up the story.
