There is no cause so just that it does not attract its share of idiots.

Almost every FReeper on every thread called BS
immediately when we saw the damn B was backwards.

I hope they throw the damn book at the stupid (expletive deleted).

It would be nice to know something about her background. Unlike Joe the Plumber, this woman has committed a crime.

That’s what I was afraid of. Wonder if this is one of obama’s community organizing tactics, so when things like this really do start happening people will be less likely to believe it. He can say see I told you they were going to try and make you afraid of me. This race thing really concerns me. Wonder if jackson and sharpton are salivating right now. Hope they don’t make an issue where there doesn’t need to be one.

In this case the hoax of a racist pretender was exposed within a matter of hours - but in the Tawana Brawley case and the Duke lax case the rabid racists of the left wrapped up the false accusers in gaseous clouds of rhetoric and all sorts of chalatans of the left made the most of their opportunities to further perpetrate the frauds against the public.

Next time, when you make a “B” on yourself, remember that in the mirror it’s backwards from how it really is!

I completely agree with you, but I don’t think we’ll get our way on this. There’s no reason for FR to join the MSM feeding frenzy surrounding this pathetic girl and her dangerous hoax in a desperate attempt to hang her around the neck of the McCain campaign. Sometimes FR has a counterproductive way of swallowing its own tail, and I suspect this will be one of those times. Unfortunately.

Yesterday when I searched google news for, pittsburgh atm, I got about 20 hits. About a third was about this incident -- all local coverage, conservative sites, and one AP reference.

Today the MSM and things like the Huff'n Puff Post are carrying the story of the fake attack.

Thus, I suppose, proving the fact that dog bites man (violence by leftist wackos) is not news. Lies about such attacks (man bites dog) is news.

If Republicans were willing to make a Campaign Issue out of the original story, I am sure the Democrats will be willing be make a campaign issue out of this now that it is known that a McCain Staffer fabricated the story in order to place blame on a Black Obama supporter.

You really cannot have it both ways.

Todd, 20, of Texas, is now facing charges for filing a false report to police.

Brilliant

with the way things have gone this election, it wouldn’t surprise me if she was an obamamessiahite.

If they didn’t we might have vilified them for not doing so.

I wonder what reason she gave to the cops. Wanting attention? To hurt McCain? A book deal?

The stripper who accused of the lacrosse players has a book out, and nobody ever charged or sued her even though she damaged many lives with her vicious lies. This set a really bad example and encourages others to lie.

It was obvious from reading the article. I would guess the cops had a sense at the onset.

Once they spotted inconsistencies in her initial statement, they asked her to repeat the story/incident. Each time, unless extremely well thought out, the inconsistencies become magnified and multiply...Eventually the inconsistencies become so great, the suspect will admit their allegations were false.

Once she was told if she admitted to filing a false police report and came clean, she might receive a more lenient sentence. After being worn down, she bit.

She'll now need to go into hiding, hoping her mug will be forgotten.

I’m an Obama supporter. However, and please take this @ face value, I admire most of the comments that have been made. Not to be condescending, but I’m taken back by the evenhandedness. As corny as it sounds, maybe @ some point, “we can all get along”.

Yep, all the incidents were made up, weren’t they?

We're willing to get along just fine - just get the idea out of your heads that you're in some way entitled to control our property or our lives. Then everything will be just fine.

I hope we do eventually find out what the heck she did say to cops; as in your example, this whacko has disgraced the Pennsylvania Young Republicans (wasn't that who she was supposedly affiliated with?).

Whatever group name is, I hope they will come out with a statement to condemn her actions, and nuts or not, she should do jail time.

Whoa. Hold on a sec. Where does any article say she is a "McCain Staffer?" I still say she's a subversive from the Obama camp.
