The Mark Of Baracko!
Edited on Fri Oct-24-08 01:14 AM by mhatrw


Does that "B" look like something an angry, vicious 6'4" mugger carved on someone's face last night with a knife? Why is the "B" backward? How did the mugger get Todd to remain still long enough to delicately scratch a nicely formed, well-curved "B" onto her face? Why aren't Todd's "black eyes" still red and swollen?

Why did Todd drive 12 miles into an unfamiliar section of a big city to find an ATM? Why was she conveniently twittering about looking for ATMs in her car right before the "attack"?

Why did Todd refuse treatment on the night of the "attack"? Why did she instead quickly forward news of the "attack" and a photo of her "injuries" to her right wing blogger pals?

Where are the other witnesses to the "attack"? Where is the security camera footage of the "attack"?

Why did the alleged attacker follow her back to her car after she gave him her money? If he wanted something from her car, why didn't he just demand her keys? If Todd's McCain bumper sticker enraged her attacker so much that he beat her and then somehow forced her sit still long enough to delicately and lightly scratch a well-formed "B" onto her face, why didn't he damage her car, take her car, take her keys, take her wallet, take her credit cards or even take her Blackberry? Why didn't he force her to get more money out of her ATM or give him her ATM code and card if he had enough time to continue assaulting her without any witnesses around and enough power over her to carefully mark her with his knife without her struggling?

Where is the police artist sketch of the at large suspect? If this "attack" were real, wouldn't the victim's primary focus be on locking up the dangerous, violent criminal who violated her before he viciously maims more innocent victims rather than spreading the news of the bizarre McCain/Obama angle of the "attack" as far and wide as possible?

Bottom line:

Todd is a College Republican volunteer for the McCain campaign who came all the way from "safe" Texas to try to turn the tide for McCain in swing PA.

If Todd's story is real, there is a bizarre, dangerous, violent, dyslexic 6'4" black Baracko with an Obama fetish and a small dull knife roaming the streets of Pittsburgh's Little Italy robbing innocent ATM customers and chomping at the bit to delicately trace the mark of Baracko onto the faces of poor unsuspecting McCain supporters.

If Todd's story is fake, she's an amateur hour Rove with the average freeper's stilted and racially fevered imagination.

Which is more likely?

2. Well he was enraged that she was wearing McCain shirt and hat
with 14 large McCain buttons.


Uh no this mugger - like Monk the detective paused in his escape to notice her bumper sticker. Makes sense to me.

7. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
Neither she nor the "knife" that allegedly "cut" her.

29. Staple scratches leave more visible damage. Really.
I carve pumpkins and cook, so I cut myself with knives all the time. I know what knife damage looks and spreads like. Unless she has the thickest skin on the planet, that ain't no knife what done that, English.

19. That was my first thought too
who the hell would put a "B" on her when "O" is the obvious choice, this is so RIDICULOUS.

6. The BEST part is, she thought that B looked just dandy in the mirror but a cop
probably mentioned to her it was backwards. D'oh!

13. How much money would you pay to have seen her "oh shit, for reals?" face when the cop
asked her why the B was backwards (or better yet showed her a picture).

21. Come to think of it. I guess it is plausible that Zorro is now an Obama vigilante
crusading PA to brand evil-doers with B.



Did she mention the attacker had a cape?

14. This paragraph belongs on the greatest page:

If Todd's story is real, there is a bizarre, dangerous, violent, dyslexic 6'4" black Baracko with an Obama fetish and a small dull knife roaming the streets of Pittsburgh's Little Italy robbing innocent ATM customers and chomping at the bit to delicately trace the mark of Baracko onto the faces of poor unsuspecting McCain supporters.


Great stuff...

25. The Daily Mail To The Rescue
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1080189/Young-Republican-claims-Obama-supporter-carved-letter-B-face-robbery.html

Young Republican claims Obama supporter carved letter 'B' on her face during robbery

By Daily Mail Reporter

A campaign volunteer for John McCain has claimed a robber carved a "B" in her face after noticing a sticker for the presidential candidate on her car. Ashley Todd, 20, refused medical attention. An officer saw the injury, but the police report did not describe its size or severity, a police spokeswoman said. ... The robber then noticed the bumper sticker, punched her in the back of the head, knocked her down and used the knife to carve a 'B' on the right side of her face, the woman told police. Todd told police she was unfamiliar with her surroundings and was unable to tell police which way the attacker ran.

Police said no police photo had been taken of the woman Wednesday, but by Thursday afternoon a purported picture of a woman with a 'B' scratched into her cheek was circulating on the Internet. She also raised further suspicion by never seeking medical help - and driving to a friend's house rather than calling police. ... Todd, of College Station, Texas, also left a trail of online blogs hinting that she was heading to a 'bad area' of town looking for an ATM. "He continued to kick and punch her repeatedly and said he would teach her a lesson for supporting John McCain," police Chief Nate Harper said Todd told officers.

The man then carved the "B" into Todd's right cheek. Even though she did not know the area she says she drove to a friend's house, and the friend then called police. She declined officer's advice to get medical help. She also left a somewhat unlikely trail of messages online leading up to the attack. ... She then wrote: "Pretty sure I'm on the wrong side of Pittsburgh" - even though she was in the financial area, not a rough part of town at all. Later she wrote: "Oh the blog I will be making soon... Its been a rough night." And within hours she was already pressing campaign issues, writing: "Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and prayers- I'm phonebanking so let's all work together and get John McCain elected."

But bloggers were not convinced. 'jack' said: "The B is backwards. She clearly did it to herself using a mirror." Another added: "It's implausible. How did the attacker know it was her car? Does it make sense that she stood still long enough for him to carve a letter into her face? Does it make sense that he carved a letter in her face and never broke the skin? Does it make sense that the letter is backwards? This story is ridiculous."

28. It looks like she went to work on her face with a nail file.
I'll say one thing for McCain and the GOP, they sure can pull in the nut jobs. It's been a constant parade of crazies starting with the GOP's primary candidates. And when they aren't nuts their either hopelessly stupid (Joe the plumber) or hateful bigots. What a party!
