PITTSBURGH - Pittsburgh police say they gave a polygraph test to a McCain campaign volunteer who reported that a tall black man had robbed and later cut her face her after seeing a McCain bumper sticker on her car.

Police spokeswoman Diane Richard says investigators are "looking at some inconsistencies" in the 20-year-old woman's story.

A College girl from Texas in Pennsyanlia for McCain? We need more information.

WE know Obama has students traveling everywhere.

And if it been a Hussein worker claiming that a guy went ballistic when he saw the Osama bumper sticker would a polygraph been administered? No,I didn't think so.Her willingness to take the test strongly suggests she's telling the truth so look for a RAT police dept to claim she failed.Then bring in a *real* polygraph interpreter.

Could be the beginnings of ATM-gate. I hope this doesn't reach up to the McCain campaign.

No way in hell am I commenting on this story today, not after the flaming I got yesterday.

Not only that, but wasn’t this at 9 pm in a busy area in front of an ATM in the middle of a city? Weren’t there any cars in the area? No one to drive up and see a guy on top of a girl with a knife, fondling her and then carving a “B” into her face?

This is just a sick girl- nothing political about this story. Both sides have whackos supporting them- luckily we don’t have as many but there are always a few bad apples. I’m just glad that- with the exception of Drudge - no one on our side jumped to too many conclusions. FoxNews was very skeptical from the start and McCain’s statement was appropriate.

The B isn’t backwards, it’s upside-down.

I noticed that two. But if the attacker sat on her chest to pin her arms, I am having a hard time determining how he got the "B" on her right cheek as shown.

After I saw the pictures my belief waned, too. The “B” was just a little too neat to be scratched in by a deranged attacker.

That was my first thought. Also, the 'cuts' are much too shallow to be from an attacker. On the other hand, it doesn't explain the other facial injuries. I'd like to hear the explanation for those.

The photograph was reversed, perhaps.

Well, I’ll give her one thing. I looked at her friends on her Facebook page and they all looked a ton more respectable than any of Obama’s friends.

The pic with the backwards “B” unfortunately smacks of someone looking in a mirror and scratching it.............

Maybe the crook has dyslexia?????????

Description given quoted above is he sat on her chest pinning her arms.

Either the photo is reversed, the attacker is dyslexic, or she added the “B” herself in the mirror (I don’t doubt she was assaulted with the bruising she has).

Right. They seem to be just the right depth that they won't scar. Maybe there was an attack or mugging, but the rest is "embellished"?

“Officials have reportedly requested a polygraph test be performed because her “statements about the attack conflict with evidence from the Citizens Bank ATM where she claims the incident occurred.”

Police will not state results, I bet if she failed the lie detector test, it would be all over the news...

Exactly, you can't believe anything that the media is reporting on this or any case, for all you know the supposed inconsistencies are being leaked by rabid Obama supporters in the department. The facts will come out eventually. I just hope the attacker was not Obama's brother from Kenya. He is desperate for money, ya never know.
