Cops: McCain Worker Made Up Attack Story

"She just opened up and said she wanted to tell the truth," Bryant said, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. "She was upset with the media for blowing this into a political firestorm.




Damn liberal media!

[maxrandb]

1. Blame the Media

Who Knew?????

[Octafish]

48. S.O.P.

Gee. They lie. Then they blame the media for reporting their lies.

Nice system.

[XemaSab]

75. Even better: She did it to get attention, then she was unhappy when she got attention

:eyes:

[Ikonoklast]

93. She should blame cheeseburgers, too.

They have some blame in this.

[Rambis]

2. that is what she wanted

she wanted a firestorm to engulf the Obama campaign. useless!

[Solly Mack]

28. She got what she wanted and then some

Now it's everybody's fault but hers...poor thing. snort

[Rambis]

31. Instead of a firestorm on Obama she got a shit storm on her head

schadenfreude!

[DS1]

3. The Farce is strong with this one

[Solly Mack]

Still on a roll!!

lolol

[mikeytherat]

26. Never my fault. Never, never, never, never.

Not even when I admit it's my fault. To the police.

mikey_the_rat

[EFerrari]

21. . . .

:rofl:

[bettyellen]

56. LOL

[roguevalley]

61. she's lucky some black guy didn't get killed. accessory to murder

after the fact, the little bitch.

[glitch]

88. DUZY! nt

[VeraAgnes]

4. Then big girls should not lie!

You should not make-up lies to indite black men!!!!!!!!!!!! :mad:

[Lex]

5. Waaaaaah! It didn't work out the way I wanted! :sniff:

Oh please. :eyes:

[H2O Man]

6. I blame the media.

Entirely. Someone has to be held responsible for this, starting with journalists who favor Obama.

[Solly Mack]

13. Excellent point. How dare someone even cast doubt on the story

[H2O Man]

18. Even after this

delicate victim admitted she lied, I believe the media should have reported it as true. I'm furious.

[Solly Mack]

23. If only she had gone missing for a few days

:P

[LiberalHeart]

85. Wouldn't have been covered by the media. She's not blonde.

[Solly Mack]

87. Good point

and she wouldn't have been able to stay away from twitter long enough to pull it off

she would have twittered her experience of being locked in a make-believe closet by a make-believe assailant

It's dark

They let me keep my phone

I can hear noises

Just wait until I'm free...the blog I'm going to make!!

I need to pee

It's dark

Go Palin! Go McCain!

[malaise]

64. LOL

I'm hoping they report the following:
She now tells investigators she was neither robbed nor attacked.

[KewlKat]

33. SLUDGE had a lot to do with this.........

within seconds of his posting the "headline" it ran through freeperville and other liked minded blogs. He's worse then the "enquirer" and other rags out there. He feeds fear, hate and bigotry and I would love for that site to be shutdown or held accountable for it's actions. I'm thankful noone was killed or beaten from the rage he insites through his fairytales.

[TahitiNut]

43. How dare they doubt Mayella Ewell for even a second?

:grr:

[DemoTex]

78. Tom Robinson vindicated .. again.

An imaginary Tom Robinson at that.

[Rocknrule]

82. I haven't even thought about that book since my freshman year in high school

but yes, she is just like Mayella Ewell

[glitch]

89. The ones who ran with this story without vetting it do deserve part of the blame. nt

[icnorth]

7. You created the firestorm sweetie...

live with it.

[gratuitous]

8. Be careful what you wish for, Ms. Todd

Sometimes wishes come true.

[LaurenG]

9. She has no clue what she's done.

:eyes: And once again a republican is not taking responsibility for her actions.

[Solly Mack]

30. Yes...it was just a prank...what's the harm?

And they don't care who gets hurt in the process....

[LaurenG]

36. She did a horrible thing and she brought down her own candidate

in the process. So yeah, no one was hurt, not a group of 6"4" men of color, no, not at all. :sarcasm:


:hi:

[Solly Mack]

45. Exactly!

[Rockholm]

49. She is McCain's Bartman!

[Catherine Vincent]

10. Be upset then!

:rofl:

[Swamp Rat]

11. FAIL!

:D

[Solly Mack]

19. Excellent!!

[Karenina]

42. Was sonst?

;-)

[Solly Mack]

47. True, true.

[greenmutha]

25. SwampRat does it again!

:applause: Masterpiece! :applause:

[malaise]

60. You sure never fail

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! :rofl:

[pleah]

67. Perfect!

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Generic Other]

91. In Swamprat's Hall of Shame...

You certainly caught her good side. YUCK.

[Catherine Vincent]

92. Awesome dude!

:rofl:

[alcibiades_mystery]

12. It's the media's fault that she concocted a story of being attacked by a black man

in order to push the Republican political agenda?

Maybe she does have a history of mental illness after all.

No personal responsibility for the Republican assholes, ever. She should apologize, serve her sentence, whatever that might be, and fade off into obscurity where she belongs. Scum.

[Divernan]

22. If it's "mental illness" it's the same kind Karl Rove has.

[Wickerman]

Oh, Matt, you bad, bad man, you! n/t

[louis-t]

14. SHE FREAKIN' LIED TO THE POLICE!!!!!!!

(calm down) That's a serious crime. She's just following the tactics of her heroes, hannity, savage, limbaugh, billo. She thought she would be a hero.

[dgibby]

55. Actually, filing a false police report is a misdemeanor.

There are other charges pending, however, but PPD is trying to sort out the history of mental problems, according to MSNBC.

[louis-t]

63. I wonder what other charges? Federal?

Maybe interfering with an election?

[dgibby]

71. Not sure, but I would "inciting to riot" might be applicable.

Someone on another thread said Pa has laws against hate speech, so that might also apply.

[louis-t]

74. I would think a civil rights charge

but there may have to be a real person involved for that.

[norepubsin08]

83. conspiracy

[bettyellen]

97. allleged (self confessed) history of "forgetting" things so she doesn;t have to explain or confess

same probelem all the republicans have, they are full o shit.

[yardwork]

15. The party of personal responsibility strikes again.

Drudge and MSNBC and Faux should have checked the story a little more carefully before they ran with it.

[ColbertWatcher]

16. Did she have any particular male 6'4" dark-skinned black journalist in mind? n/t

20. Sounds like Palin gave her a line to use....

[Raschel]

37. I suppose she thought the police asked too many "gotcha questions".

[Brazenly Liberal]

24. She's a good little GOPbot who's learned her lessons well.

Never take responsibility for your own actions. Regardless of whom you do blame, always blame the media, too.

[lpbk2713]

27. With a statement like that it's apparent she is a loyal OxyRush listener.

:rofl: :rofl:


What a shittohead!!

[KewlKat]

29. I'm thankful this lie is over and that it didn't cause

an innocent person to be attacked as a result of her lie. I worried about backlash of whites against black males. The only problem is now that so many heard the original sensation and they may not hear the truth and still lash out at innocent people. It's hard to backtrack on slander and lies. She should be punished to the fullest extent of the law and the MSM should be hammer the truth on all venues so that it will hopefully reach the sick minded that are only looking for an excuse for their hatred and rage.

BOOK HER Danno...........

[Solly Mack]

32. Her lie could have easily gotten someone killed. I agree

[ingac70]

34. What did she think was going to happen?

Typical puke, blaming the "liburl" media.

[Franzia]

35. Bed. Made. Lie.

Come to think of it, lying is what got her into this mess in the first place.

:think:

[KayLaw]

38. Well, bless her heart, the poor thing.

I thought the wingnuts complain that the MSM never cover their "important" stories the way Rush does?

[Javaman]

39. awww, ain't it a bitch when lies don't work out they way you want them too? nt

[Junkdrawer]

40. This isn't the first time she accused a black man of political dirty tricks...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xe-5nr3NK34

[notadmblnd]

76. That was from about two weeks ago

Looks like she started posting stuff in late August when fall term started. Here's a link to several more.

[Blue Diadem]

41. I bet she wouldn't have been upset if everyone just believed her story.

She's only upset now because the truth come out and the only choices left for her are she's a liar or she's mentally ill and delusional.

[Bluebear]

44. LOL that actually made me chuckle out loud.

These people always top themselves just when I think they can't go any farther.

[robertpaulsen]

46. I think she and Bachmann need to go out for drinks sometime.

Oh wait, that's probably how they hatched their stupid shit in the first place!

[Wednesdays]

50. OMFG

:nopity:

[Warren Stupidity]

51. Oh of course. FAIL STUNTS always end up in MEDIA BLAME.

MEDIA BLAME is the refuglican version of the mea culpa.

Where is the WHAAAAAAAMBULANCE?

[Downtown Hound]

52. Man, that's hilarious

Are you honestly going to tell me, little girl, that this isn't what you wanted when you staged this little stunt? You are a truly pathetic human being. Off to intense ridicule, shame, jail, and then obscurity with you as you hide out for the rest of your days never able to live this down.

I loved these passages in the story though:

"Bryant said somebody charged with making a false report would typically be cited and sent a summons. But because police have concerns about Todd's mental health, they are consulting with the Allegheny County District Attorney. She remained in custody and was awaiting arraignment.

Todd worked in New York for the College Republican National Committee before moving two weeks ago to Pennsylvania, where her duties included recruiting college students, the committee's executive director, Ethan Eilon, has said."

Quite a staff you got there, College Republicans.

[Autumn]

53. Damn the media all to hell,

:sarcasm: So what did she expect? She fucking made it political.

[tavalon]

54. It wasn't the media, it was the internet baby!

Don't fuck with us. Ever.

[bettyellen]

57. I'm often upset w/ Matt drudge too!

[tjwash]

58. Yeah...she could have gotten someone lynched over that fucking stunt and SHE's the victim. Fuck her.

nt

[malaise]

59. So why did she send her photo to Sludge to blow this

into a political firestorm.

Book her. :puke:

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

62. She's just taking a cue from the people who run the party including CariBoo Barbie.

When one fucks up, blame the media.

[NoGOPZone]

65. "Can't I lie without having the press make a big fuss about it?"

"The liberal media is ruining the country!"

[notadmblnd]

66. This was just another republican stunt that backfired

if she actually had been a good liar she would have caused some innocent man some major grief and gotten the republican party some sympathy. Personally, I think they should bring back the public stocks and set her out in the town square with a sign above her head that says "Race Baiter."

[marmar]

68. Is their any life form less evolved than a Campus Republican, current or former?

Missing links, all of them.

[fascisthunter]

69. Typical Right Wing Republican Sociopath

she's a sick one alright. She needs lots of help, however unfortunately, she must allow people to help her, and by this very statement, I doubt she ever will.

[pleah]

70. I hope they give her jail time. n/t

[Heather MC]

72. Cracked NUT

[bridgit]

73. Pft-boowhahaaaa, no, no...I'll be OK in a minute...No I won't BOOWhahahaha!!!!!

That's too fucking phunny, honey!! :spray: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[WolverineDG]

80. October Surprise?

[norepubsin08]

81. The media needs to go after this girl with a

vengence and if the media doesn't do it, then the progressives need to. Maybe that will stop others from allowing themselves to be used as a tool. We need to be alot nastier, just like the conservatives...we would get a lot more of what we want..also the people from the McCain camp along with Ashley Todd need to be indicted for criminal conspiracy and sent to prison for about 15 years.

[4lbs]

84. Yeah, ok. Blame the media for seeing right through your thinly-veiled race-baiting.

:eyes:

[mitchum]

86. Payback is a bitch, bitch

[Brewman_Jax]

94. Considering the fact that she

could've have made some guy's life a living hell--or cut drastically short, only because he was black, the press firestorm should be the least of her worries.

[Laelth]

95. Her masters taught her well.

Never take responsibility. Blame, blame, and blame some more. Nothing that ever goes wrong is ever the fault of a Republican. :sarcasm:

The United States is a LIBERAL Country.

:dem:

[lectrobyte]

96. Sew the wind, reap the whirlwind. Lit match and gasoline. What did she think

was going to happen?
