How will it hurt McCain’s campaign?

We are talking about the media here. By the time they are done with it, it'll be reported that she did all of this on orders directly from McCain.

Apparently now there is more information being released that does not seem to add up. While Malkin seems to want this to be a hoax, she is posting factual information as far as I can tell, and if police say her account doesn’t match up with video surveillance then something is wrong. I don’t know the extent to which it doesn’t match up, but I hope for everybody’s sake the truth does come out. This would be especially bad because Obama thugs ARE doing things of this nature.

In other words, business as usual for the media. They can’t undo the millions of e-mails, the whispers, and the confirmation of doubt about Obama and his thugs created by this incident. In attacking McCain over this, they are making Obama the “black candidate” all over again. I honestly think the Obama campaign loses either way. Some folks have already been swayed by believing it and many more will be turned off by the ad-nauseum “bad-whitey” reporting if it turns out to be a hoax.

All disbelief and anger towards the victim. Hardly a peep about the perp. Wow, this thread has turned upside down.

The story does have an odor to it...but it’s hard to imagine how she could have given herself black eyes.

If, in fact, she did this to herself, why would I condemn her? It would mean she’s not well mentally, wouldn’t it?

I just can’t picture faking something like that.

Her face is quite bruised in the photo.

As for no medical attention, maybe she just wants to go home, curl up in a ball and be left alone.

I wouldn’t want to be gang raped by the media, especially after something like that.

Insult to injury.

There is such a lack of MSM attention here, I’m inclined to believe it must be true.

If it were the other way around the coverage would be 24/7, real or not.

We’ll see.

Agree. I would want to go home and hide under the covers in a state of shock and disbelief. But that’s just me.

Me too.

I probably wouldn’t even be able to discuss it without bursting into tears everytime I began to open my mouth.

Or just sit there in a mute daze, which makes it difficult to do anything other than just walk off and hide for a while.

Because the MSM is doing everything they possibly can to elect Obama, they would engage in a massive effort to debunk this within hours and lay out the evidence and further use it to try to damage McCain further.

Because they haven’t, it leads one to believe the reason is because they can’t.

We only have to look to see how the media cherry picks what stories it wants to fully expose and what facts it chooses to bury.

Look at all the tons of reasons why Obama is not even qualified to be a presidential candidate that the media buries, but on the other hand they pour their full resources into attacking and attempting to destroy Palin and McCain.

What really smells here is the media’s silence on loudly braying that this story is untrue.

One more consideration - which candidate is the Pittsburgh police dept. endorsing? If they are endorsing Obama, then again, chances are they will do everything they can to help him based on the behavior we have seen from Obama supporters across the nation.

These are just the realities in the current environment.

The upside - even if a hoax, it still brings into light other stories about the behavior of the Obama campaign.

My Dad worked for the Air Force Office of Special Investigations. I never beat the Polygraph; I tried, but the sequence and re-covered areas, such as “when you told me that you didn’t steal that candy, was that 100% truthful, or was there any inaccuracy in that statement” was where I fell on my face.

One time he had the neighbors over and they, like REAL Dummies, got on the machine; the spouses could ask each other anything they wanted. The man fessed up that he had gotten a speeding ticket he didn’t tell his wife about. They both thought that they could beat that machine. Even at seven years old, I knew that was trouble.

By all means, let’s discredit this girl and do absolutely nothing to spread this story, whether true or false. Then at the beginning of Obama’s 3rd term, as he is sworn in by Chief Justice Clinton (with Senate Majority Leader Pelosi nodding in approval, having just passed the Abolishment of Homeschooling Bill 100-0 in the Senate, a bill authored by Harry Reid, newly appointed Director of Central Control) we can sit back and pat ourselves on the back for taking the high road.
Many of us don’t give a damn at this point what it takes to sway the uneducated and get them to the polls to vote against this evil piece of zhit. And for any of you people who would ignorantly say: “That makes us just like them”, save it. We are NOT like them. We DON’T support letting newborn babies die in linen closets. We DON’T support Socialism and the evil it brings. Choosing to fight like an Injun’ (PoliticallyIncorrectTermAlert) is what it is going to take.

The media has much bigger fish to fry:

As for her story, apparently she never said anything to police about an Obama bumper sticker, and she's claiming it was a dull knife. It's no wonder the police are skeptical of her.

When Fox News and Michelle Malkin are talking about things not adding up, and the Pittsburgh PD are saying things are are not adding up, it would be better just to let it die. If it's a hoax and it really gets spread around, it will hurt McCain. She maybe a volunteer, but that's a link to the McCain campaign the MSM will exploit to the fullest.

Inner city cops are probably Obamatrons and might lie cheat and steal in order to discredit her.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a cop hater, but they’re human too.

If there was a video of the attack, the media would try to cast doubts as to the authenticity, questioning whether it was a setup.
This incident has made Hussein “the black candidate” to many people in this country. I know the media will attempt to destroy her if it’s a hoax and in doing so, they will over do it, thus benefitting McCain. Again, I hope it’s not a hoax, but if it is, it has STILL done damage to Obama (millions of e-mails and message board postings). I wish it didn’t have to be this way, but when you have to play against the refs, sometimes you gotta play dirty.

There is no video showing anything. The police have now said (in the article above) that her statement has changed as well.

She's gone back now and says she doesn't know if it was the McCain sticker on her car or the McCain button on her jacket, among other things. She's also now claiming sexual assault, which really adds to it.

The stock market has the media attention for now, but with her starting to add more to her story, somebody other than Fox News and Drudge will probably pick it up.

I don't agree with the Fox News President that this would end McCain's campaign, if it's a hoax, but this late in the game, I don't see it doing much harm to Obama. People who would care about character would not be voting for him at this point anwyays.

The truth is dirty enough. If this is a hoax it is an embarrassment, period. Let's leave these types of antics to the left, m'kay?
