She was somewhat lost driving, trying to find the bank/atm, yet after the attack (presumably in a state of fear and shock) she was able to drive herself directly to her friend's house with no difficulty...?

If this does prove to be a hoax, shame on her for crying wolf.

Asher Bertrand · 10-24-2008, 01:32 PM

More than just shame on her. She embodies everything I'm coming to hate in this election. It wasn't long ago that lynch mobs were formed over allegations just like these and innocent black men were killed.

A Pittsburgh police commander says a volunteer for the McCain campaign who reported being robbed and attacked near a bank ATM in Bloomfield has confessed to making up the story. Police say charges will be filed. More details to follow.

I dunno...

I would hate to accuse a real victim but...

It looks very suspicious to me. Generally people who are out to rob someone just take their money or purse and get away as quickly as possible.

If they are angry enough to stop and take enough time to carve their face up they generally cut quickly and deeply so that the person needs hospitalization and plastic surgery.

Last but not least, it really looks to me like she sat in the car, looked in the rearview mirror and scratched the B on her face with a car key.

If I were the responding officers I'd be suspicious.

How disgusting and vile. As if this election needs more divisive fear-mongering and racial crap.

jacqueline trudeau · 10-24-2008, 02:01 PM

The question now is ... was this a conspiracy?

**Cristiano** · 10-24-2008, 02:02 PM

This makes me so angry. I hope they throw the fucking book at her, and find a way to charge her with a hate crime law. This was race baiting in its most obvious form - the big black man robs, sexually assaults and mutilates the poor innocent white girl. To have staged this is so profoundly sick. I am so angry right now I should not put into words what I think of this lowlife woman, as I doubt I will hold back.

It is a good thing she didn't ID someone for the crime, or they would have gotten lynched.

Rose Alba Karuna · 10-24-2008, 02:06 PM

Too bad I'm not in her geographic vicinity...

**Cristiano** · 10-24-2008, 02:07 PM

Now this is someone who more than deserves to have a media frenzy surround her and pick apart every detail of her life.

Taco Rubio · 10-24-2008, 02:08 PM

Lo Jacobs · 10-24-2008, 02:17 PM

What, if any, is the official statement from the McCain campaign?

Robert Galland · 10-24-2008, 02:23 PM

As I currently sit here in the great city of Pittsburgh, in fact my office is on Liberty Avenue a few miles from this made-up event, I can say that we were viewing this with suspicion soon after the story broke. We certainly did not want to discredit a female victim and my first reaction was shock, but the backwards B etc. started raising alarms. I think our police did a good job with this one. I would say, please get this girl back to Texas, but I can delight that she will likely be a guest of the ol' Commonwealth for a little while first.

As for Bloomfield, it is a neighborhood within the city limits and can be a little rough in spots, but has a lot of old charm to it.

As for allegations that we would have lynched someone, I can say, nah, I don't think so.

Western PA has been unfairly blasted a bit lately by the likes of John Murtha and people are just a little ticked off here. This girl's bs is unacceptable and does not help. Race baiting is unacceptable and disgusting.

My comment wasn't even about PA, I didn't even think about where it happened. If she had identified some unlucky black man as having been the person who did this to her, you know there would be a crowd that would go after him. That would happen pretty much anywhere with this type of incendiary situation. When you add in not only race but politics apparently, this thing was explosive.

This was obviously the work of a Barr supporter.

She should have gone with a big "O", at least it wouldn't matter if its backwards, upside down, or sideways!

Also, a few pointers from Jim Carrey in Liar Liar might have been useful for how to really beat herself up.

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) ― Police say a campaign volunteer 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; now she's facing charges.

At a news conference this afternoon, officials said they believe that Ashley Todd's injuries were self-inflicted.

Todd, 20, of Texas, is now facing charges for filing a false report to police.

Todd initially told police that she was robbed at an ATM in Bloomfield and that the suspect began 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.

Investigators asked Todd to return to the police station today for more questioning and to help them release a composite sketch of the suspect.

When she did, police say she admitted that she made the whole thing up and that it snowballed out of control.

Todd told investigators today that she "just wanted to tell the truth" – adding that she was neither robbed, nor attacked.

She said he believed she may have scratched the backward "B" on her own face because she was the only one in the car at the time. Todd told police that when saw was the "B" in her rearview mirror, she thought of Barack Obama.

Officials say they do not believe any other people were involved; and Todd's friends believed the story about the attack – encouraging her to call police.

~~kook, I mean case, closed~~

Quote:

Earlier today, John Moody, executive vice president at Fox News, commented on his blog there that "this incident could become a watershed event in the 11 days before the election. If Ms. Todd's allegations are proven accurate, some voters may revisit their support for Senator Obama, not because they are racists (with due respect to Rep. John Murtha), but because they suddenly feel they do not know enough about the Democratic nominee.

"If the incident turns out to be a hoax, Senator McCain's quest for the presidency is over, forever linked to race-baiting."

Hyperbole from Fox? (say it aint so!

) or does McCain go down in history that way due to this unbalanced nut?

No, from Fight Club.

Arilynn · 10-24-2008, 03:50 PM

Seriously, how stupid must you be to scratch a backward "B" in your face using a mirror? Really, the "O" would have been so much easier with its symmetry. Wouldn't you think about the "B", realize you did it backward, slap yourself on the head for being a moron, and not appear in public until it healed?

Asher Bertrand · 10-24-2008, 03:57 PM

What a surprise, her blog has been taken down.

If ever a use of the "c" word was warranted, it'd be now. I won't say it, as it upsets some people here, but I sure as hell am thinking it.

I am thinking more "moronic, pathetic attention-whore who should spend some time pondering her idiocy in jail", but yours is shorter.
