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?

That's the best thing to do. If it is a hoax, spreading it around cheapens any future attacks on Republicans.

The vic in Pitts. may have been held down so hard, that the black eye is secondary to rupture of facial vessels. Is that the perp’s fingermarks on her face from her contralateral ala extending inferolaterally?

er.... don't think so. The blood vessels in the face can be "ruptured" but if you notice her eyes. Clear white conjunctiva. No subconjunctival hemorrhages, no petecheal bleeding around the eyes, no swelling of the lip. Maybe she cleaned up after the assault, but I've seen and been beaten and pretty much puffed up right away.

This is what I think you look for if your chest is compressed really hard or your neck squeezed till the blood pools in your head.

I just think we shouldn't go off like the Sharptons, Jacksons, lesbian, and muzzie faux victims.

There's enough cr#p I hate about libs that I don't need to make stuff up.

It's about to be resolved and she could be facing some jail time:

A Pittsburgh police commander told KDKA Investigator Marty Griffin that Ashley Todd confessed to making up the story & is facing charges

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) ― Police sources tell KDKA that a campaign worker has now confessed to making up a story that a mugger attacked her and cut the letter "B" in her face after seeing her McCain bumper sticker.

Ashley Todd, 20, of Texas, initially told police that she was robbed at an ATM in Bloomfield and that the suspect became enraged and started beating her after seeing her GOP sticker on her car.

Police investigating the alleged attack, however, began to notice some inconsistencies in her story and administered a polygraph test.

Authorities, however, declined to release the results of that test.

Investigators did say that they received photos from the ATM machine and "the photographs were verified as not being the victim making the transaction."

This afternoon, a Pittsburgh police commander told KDKA Investigator Marty Griffin that Todd confessed to making up the story.

The commander added that Todd will face charges; but police have not commented on what those charges will be.

There should be a press conference later today, where they might announce charges. Everybody is obsessed with the stock market, so it might not be carried nationally.

That’s what I’m thinking. It wouldn’t surprise me if they casually mentioned that they had the footage from the ATM and were looking at it. That probably sent a little jolt through her.

You were right it is a hoax...but I wonder how helped her and how did she really get that black eye.

I think the issue in question was not so much what was done but the details of why the guy did it and so on. Haven’t heard anymore on this Also, the idiot apparently doesn’t even know how to write the letter “B,” yet will likely vote. Maybe he’ll punch the wrong hole or tap the wrong square on the screen.

Just noticed another pic. I saw a pic that someone obviously posted in reverse because the B was backwards. Odd. Now I can see it is properly written and on the gal’s left cheek.

How scary. Mace, ladies. Mace.

What tune? She said she had leukemia too and I was giving her the benefit of the doubt. If she’s really a RON PAUL groupie, she’s not a McCainiac hoaxer. I found out more on her than anyone else. Had I not given her the benefit of the doubt, we’d know even less than we do now and this can’t be pinned on McCain-Palin, not one bit.

Yeah. The criminals all have plenty of time to commit their crimes (because they don’t work) and suppport themselves by their criminal activites AND many are also on the government dole. So, they have plenty of money for cable television, cell phones, bling, grilles on their teeth and so forth.

Done in by my recollection of the late Morton Downey, Jr.

That would be a great TV show - average guy uses his knowledge of obscure 1980’s trivia to solve crime.

I don’t see how someone could be foolish enough to think that they can effectively lie to police detectives.

These guys are pretty sharp and they put their best ones on cases like this.

Go figure. Now this girl will permanently be known as a liar.

What seriously has to go through your mind to make you sick enough to jump someone and then carve an initial into their face? Obama better apologize on behalf of his supporters.

LOL. You should probably jump to the end of the thread or check Drudge or Fox News.

YOUR WORDS: Yeah. The criminals all have plenty of time to commit their crimes (because they don’t work) and suppport themselves by their criminal activites AND many are also on the government dole. So, they have plenty of money for cable television, cell phones, bling, grilles on their teeth and so forth.

Those are all your words, not mine. I'll take credit for only the criminal elements' cable viewing and where they get some of their plots. FV
