How long did you believe the 'B' girl story"

[Liberal_in_LA]

[guitar man]

1. my bullshit detector went off

the second I heard it ;)

[DemoTex]

14. Needle went max scale on my B/S meter ..

[guitar man]

15. LOL

I love it! :thumbsup:

[frylock]

23. that's why it's best to keep that thing wide open..

the story pegged my bullshitometer as well.

[Redbear]

2. When I read that she refused medical attention

That's just not possible to have you face carved by a knife and need no medical attention.

[Liberal_in_LA]

4. me too. Damn..forgot to put that in poll

[TalkingDog]

22. Maybe it was the attacker's apparent dyslexia

that saved her from serious harm.....

He was so hesitant about making a perfectly shaped, yet backward facing B (jeebus, she couldn't figure out that the mirror image was...MIRRORED?) that he could only barely scratch the surface.

That or she's a 'borg with a titanium skeleton. Where is Sara Connor anyway?

[lligrd]

3. Petty Robbers Don't Vote Let Alone Campaign lol nt

[Liberal_in_LA]

7. He stole the money to buy buttons and bumper stickers. lol

[smoogatz]

5. It was bullshit from the word go.

Now she got some splainin' to do.

[fed_up_mother]

6. I became a lot more skeptical after I saw her twitter page

but I was worried that this story would get traction and be out there for days without the truth coming out.

[Lucian]

8. I never believed her.

She was obviously lying from the start.

[mmonk]

9. Never. Way too obvious.

[adamuu]

10. Backwards B was quite obvious. Here's a test

when you look in the mirror while wearing a shirt, does the writing look backwards?
See that B in the mirror? Does it look right? Then, guess what, IT's BACKWARDS to the rest of the world.

[guitar man]

18. You know what gets me is

why didn't she go for the "O" for Obama instead, then backwards or forwards wouldn't have mattered? Just goes to prove how dumb these rethugs really are! :rofl:

[liberal N proud]

11. It was plausible that she was attacked

I even believed she was attacked by a black man, Why that made a difference is beyond me.

But when they said it was because she had a McCain sicker on her car, I called bullshit. and it went down hill from there.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

12. As soon as I saw the picture.

Which is how I found out about it.
First of all, the fucking B is backwards like some stupid little idiot did it to herself in the mirror. Dumb ass.
Duckie

[Cronus Protagonist]

34. Yeah, that sealed the deal - contrast and compare

Compare and contrast!
Which One's Real?
Actual make-up job

Professional touch-up job

[RainDog]

13. the SECOND I read the story and saw it was from Drudge

and I usually don't jump on these stories for fear that I might be wrong. but this one just was...smelly.

[Turbineguy]

16. I wear hip-waders all the time now.

It does reduce my sensitivity, but sure keeps the goonies dry!

[Quantess]

17. I knew it was most likely a steaming pantload but I wanted some confirmation.

I knew the truth would come out!

[gollygee]

19. Very gently and carefully done backward-B girl?

Not for a second.

[Vickers]

20. I was at work last night in the break room when I first heard about this.

Right away I said, "False flag."

The guys I was with were like, huh?

I said, "I bet this is a set-up where she makes this claim just to try and make Democrats look bad, or to try and make black guys scary. It's playing into the racist crap that McCain and Palin are spouting."

They listened and a couple of them were like, bullshit.

Man, I can't WAIT to talk with them tonight, tee-hee!

P.S. I know this may not *technically* be a false flag operation, but that was the phrase that popped into my head.

[zeemike]

21. You forgot "I still believe it"

I mean you know the police are all liberals and so is the press.
They could have photo shoped the B back wards and rigged the ATM camera...
Oh hell I can't do this...

:sarcasm:

[Liberal_in_LA]

25. actually..even over in freeperville they doubted the story, saying she should go jail

[frogmarch]

24. Never. I smelled it right away. nt

[nichomachus]

26. It was way too conveeeeenient! n/t

[TahitiNut]

27. How DARE y'all make fun of Mayella Ewell??

:puke:

[Swamp Rat]

30. My thoughts exactly!

:D

[TahitiNut]

32. Perfecto, mon ami!

:thumbsup:

[Swamp Rat]

33. Remember Tawana Brawley and Al Sharpton?

'Karma is a bitch.' :D

[KamaAina]

28. Ask Stephen Hawking

about the length of time it takes for one of his quantum singularities to decay. :P

[Liberal_in_LA]

29. lol. I have to admit..my heart sunk a bit when I heard the story. Someone us are mor gullible. lol

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

31. Street hoods get upset about bumper stickers?? Only in comedy routines.

The whole thing is absurd on the face of it. What's really funny is that so many people actually fell for it, including McWarguy and Madame Moosekiller.

[TahitiNut]

35. 'Absurd' is their ideology.

:shrug:

[jimshoes]

36. As soon as I saw that backward "B"

That sealed it for me.

[independentpiney]

37. The 'B' for Barack did it immediately for me n/t

[Liberal_in_LA]

40. The attacker was a bit fresh, referring to Obama by his first name.

[cynatnite]

38. It was not getting medical attention that made me suspicious. n/t

[cynatnite]

39. n/t

[Stump]

41. Holy shit...

All my freeper friends were touting this story as not getting enough headlines and all this shit last night. I deep down prayed that this was a bunch of shit...I must be living right!!!

[Liberal_in_LA]

42. rub it into your freeper friends's faces.

[covadcalifornia]

43. I donl't think even freepers bought this

too shady or too convenient from the very get go.

Shame on her!

[scheming daemons]

44. If you believed it, you need some self-reflection as to why you did...

Do you hold stereotypes about black males? Maybe even subconsciously?


I'm not calling anyone a racist... only you know that in your hearts.


But if you believed this story when it came out, you might want to examine your inner prejudices.

[Forkboy]

47. Some people, myself included, tend to give the "victim" the benefit of the doubt at first.

I didn't in this case because it just seemed TOO obvious she was faking it, but implying people are racist because they tend to believe people in this situation is a bit of a stretch. I usually believe the victim first, and it has nothing to do with the attackers description. It has everything to do with knowing that this shit really does happen to woman all too often, and in most cases it's not a lie. Look how many people people believed the Duke story. In that case the accuser was black, so if one believed her how could that be racism?

Not saying that racism isn't a factor in this case, on both the part of the idiot involved, and in SOME of those who believed her. Just saying your brush might be a bit broad overall.

[Deep13]

45. Never believed it, but thought is was possible.

People do occasionally commit crimes for political purposes. The similarity to the Morton Downey Nazi-attack made it look suspicious.

Became pretty skeptical when I heard the B was reversed as if she were looking in the mirror.

Pretty sure it's all made up since the media reported she recanted.

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

46. So funny you have an option for 5 minutes

I wasn't inclined to believe it, but I needed to read the details, skim the comments, check independent sources and look at her online posts. That took a couple minutes.

[NorthCarolina]

48. The backwards "B" was an obvious tipoff that her story was BS n/t
