Obama Supporter Carves Letter B in Woman’s Face
RightPundits.com ^ | October 23rd, 2008 | McCain

A John McCain supporter was brutally attacked in an armed robbery at an ATM machine in Bloomfield, Pennsylvania near Harrisburg. The young 20-year old woman was withdrawing money from the machine at Citizens Bank when the man approached her with a knife. He stole $60 from her, but that is when her luck ran out.

As the man turned to flee he noticed a John McCain bumper sticker on her car and said:

“Oh you’re with McCain, you’re with the McCain campaign? I’m going to teach you a lesson.’”

He then assaulted her in a brutal beating. As she lay frightened and pinned to the ground, the man carved a bloody letter B for Barack in the woman’s face. The scene is horrifically reminiscent of how Jews were branded by the regime in 1930’s Germany.

Police are so far withholding the woman’s name apparently for her own protection, as violence by Obama supporters has risen in recent weeks. The man has not been apprehended. He is described by police as a dark-skinned black man, 6 feet 4 inches tall, 200 pounds with a medium build, short black hair and brown eyes.

Report all leads to the Bloomfield Pennsylvania police department. And be careful out there. In the last two weeks, there have been multiple reports of vandalism, arson, shootings, threats and intimidation by Obama supporters around the country.

This cannot be what Obama means by “change,” because these unusual events on behalf of Obama have already made the country far more divisive and uncomfortable. It would do the country some good for Obama to publicly denounce the increasing attacks by his followers.

Does the AP report say anything about whether she paid her taxes this year?

Remember when Obama said to his supporters “Get in your face?”

Wow. Rob a woman for $60 and afterwards teach a lesson? I guess he figured he was doing her a big, brotherly favor by letting her live.

First the backwards B thing, and here’s where I get more suspicious. How does the perp know she’s with the campaign simply based on the bumper sticker? There are LOTS of cars with McCain bumper stickers.

They’d have to fake the surveillance tape, too.

No tape.

Out of camera range

That’s where the rubber may meet the road. If the whole incident happened off-camera it won’t prove anything one way or the other. If part of it is caught on camera, then I’ll believe.

Andyman, you may be right. Looks like we’re being had. If that B really is backwards on her face, it could be self-inflicted. Did the ATM camera catch anything?

Strange.

Earlier report said she was not in range of the camera.

This report says the assailant approached her from behind while she was at the ATM.

Wonder which it was?

Your picture of her is flipped.

This story (and I pray this woman is on the up and up) has got to be parlayed into the mantra for the McCain supporters from now until election day.

Obama -- supported by thugs, pro-terrorists, high taxing socialists.

McCain - supported by patriotic, decent, military-loving, hard working Americans.

According to the police report, the officer confirmed that he "observed the wound on the right side of [her] face.

The photo up on Drudge shows the B to be backwards on the right side of her face. We are going to need more definitive proof. Could be self-inflicted.

I’ve been pondering on that flipped “B” and thought of one way it could be legit. If the perp had been standing above her, behind her head, then the B would have been correct. But that’s about the only way.

If he knocked her to the ground and cut her face upside down, or if the assailant was semi-literate, or if he cut her from behind, the "B" could be backwards.

I'm reserving judgment.

It’s not the only way. Put someone in a chokehold from behind with your left hand and write a B on their face. It will be backward if you write on the person’s face like you would a piece of paper.

If she was trying to fake this and messed up with a backward B, she probably would have said, Oh crap. I did it backwards. Also, the fact that she used B and not O also makes me think this is legit. Someone this politically minded would have used O, not B.

The backwards B could simply mean the picture got reversed somewhere along the line, so that may end up not meaning much.

I’ve got a bad feeling about this story, for two reasons. First, that B looks far more mild than I would have expected a bad guy with a knife to produce. Second, the carving or painting of messages on a victim is often the signature of a hoax (think Tawana Brawley).

It seems like fake liberal victims of some conservative evil bigot often have slurs or something marked on them somehow. Off the top of my head, I can’t remember the victim in something like this ever being a conservative, like this woman. Still though, this feels odd.

I hope this can be verified, and the attacker caught and jailed. I just hope there it turns out there really was an attacker.
