If he was so intellectual, why does he have a problem releasing his transcripts and his thesis?

[popdonnelly]

He was a gentlemanly thief. He only punched, kicked, and knifed her when he found out she was a McCain supporter.

I’ve got my NRA sticker next to McCain/Palin.

[Ol' Sparky]

I agree sparky, but will he?? I doubt it very much.

I don't expect Obama to condemn his statements and tell his supporters to cease the violent acts they are committing.

But, if the McCain has any sense, they will make an issue out of this and Obama's statement encouraging his supporters to intimidate those they disagree with. At the very least, talk radio and Fox News need to make an issue of it.

[MrB]

Anyone know what the significance of the ‘B’ is?

[TheThinker]

I don't see how they can because it is so incredible. McCain needs to hold a press conference explaining what happened, in detail, and call for restraint from Obama's supporters. He needs to meet this head on and not let the media spin this horrible, targeted attack.

I sent the WTAE article to KDKA and told them to get to broadcasting it ASAP.

By the way, the following story has been updated to indicate that they will cover the story further during the 5 PM EST news:

Barack I’m guessing.

[Loyolas Mattman]

Yeah, and they tried to hang responsibility on Sarah for their plants yelling “kill him.”

This is a real girl with a very real letter B carved into her face. Her face, damn it.

Where are you going to be on this one Olberman? Matthews? Going to look the other way from a brutal assault on a woman, Maddow? Are you going to excuse Jay-Z for calling Sarah a bitch because you like his politics?

I am absolutely disgusted right now.

[Kenton]

If this is true, it’s an act of political terrorism.

[buccaneer81]

It’s up on KDKA now.

[Cyber Liberty]

Confirmed.

"Folks, even if this WASN’T an Obama supporter, THIS will cost him votes. I can guarantee you by tomorrow morning, this will be in over a million e-mails, then go completely viral. "

Yup. It would cut the damage if the Obama campaign would say something, but they're way too arrogant to do that.

[unspun]

Good! I am in angry tears. This is an outrage.

Let your cries go up to the LORD, for his mercy, righteousness, and justice. He's "got something up," here!

The TMZ link to an article says they called the McCain campaign and confirmed she was a volunteer in their office there.
