Pittsburgh Attack on McCain Supporter a Total Hoax? Wait one second...

So, the Pittsburgh Caper appears to have been a partial or total hoax. Mea culpa, mea culpa, for following the blogospheric herd in order to be on top of what seemed to be a breaking story.

For all you hard-hearts and women-haters, let me note that this kind of bid for attention, one that includes self-mutilation, does not necessarily mean that nothing happened....

The most important thing is, now ALL reports of violence against GOP people and places will be treated as right-wing hoaxes.

Damage done.

Advantage: The One (piss be upon him).

I do so hate to see our side be such idiots.

Just after the Duke case there were a number of morons insisting, "SOMETHING" happened. Not, apparently, what the victim claimed, nor anything else which could be proven, but SOMETHING!!!!

Let's not go there, ok?

Something happened here....this troubled young woman managed to portray McCain/Palin supporters and volunteers as liars and pyschos.(sp?. Whether she did it on purpose or thought she was “helping” are two different questions.

How do we know she is really a McCain supporter? Maybe she’s a nObama suporter that’s trying to make the GOP look bad.

I missed the part about her working the phone banks for McCain. Oh well, apparently there are many varieties of nuts out there.

A friendly reminder to remain skeptical of poll, news events, quotes, etc. Next week will be more dramatic.

Someone found her myspace page and linked it on FR earlier in the afternoon. I'd relink it, but I can't access myspace.

Only one politician's name was on her profile:

not McCain or Palin, but rather...

Ron Paul
