I listened to the story.

I’m not liking the sound of this.

That is might be real or might be fake?

Textbook hate crime. But don’t expect the perp to be charged with it if he is ever apprehended.

Gov. Palin has spoken to the victim, it was reported.

Is she being “re”interviewed by bonafide detectives or by Obama’s SS?

been watching a whole lot of news and I haven’t seen anybody mention that the attacker was ‘black’. Of course, I haven’t seen it mentioned on the networks yet. At all.

The fear of being called a racist is going to prevent McCain from pointing out that his volunteers are being viciously attacked and branded with the mark of Obama and his offices are being fire bombed and any public symbol of Sarah Palin is being defaced, vandalized and the most disgusting, misogynist, vile remarks imaginable.

But hey, those are only the people who are going to be in power if The Messiah wins. I’m sure the media doesn’t find that newsworthy. But some purported ‘Kill Him’ comment by a total stranger in a crowd of thousands at a Palin rally has been a two week story and a narrative for the media to accuse the McCain campaign of being nasty.

God, it must be nice to have the entire media establishment flacking for you. It ought to save you hundreds of millions at least and be worth at least 5-10 points in the polls. I can only wonder what it would be like since I’ll never been on the side of a candidate who gets the blessing of the MSM lords.

Well, yes.

I'm not liking the "20-year-old volunteer who's in town to help the McCain campaign."

I'm also not liking the scenario, in which a mugger, out for money, grabs $60 from a young woman on a major thoroughfare, "notices her McCain bumper sticker" on a car she's not in, and takes the time to abuse her and use a knife to scratch or carve her face, instead of hightailing it away from the scene.

Nothing of this gets seen on the ATM security cam, or on any other camera.

The Obama people are pulling a lot of bad stuff against our people, and the press is looking for an excuse to go on ignoring it.

If this attack, or any attack, on our side is shown to be a fake, the Obama crazies will take it a signal for open season. Nothing less than murder (and maybe even multiple homicides) will get the time of day from the MSM if that happens, and that's just what Obama is hoping for.

If it's legit, I certainly hope the young woman is OK, and I would love to see the scumbag who did it caught.

See this thread

The robber is described as a dark-skinned black man, 6 feet 4 inches tall, 200 pounds with a medium build, short black hair and brown eyes. The man was wearing dark colored jeans, a black undershirt and black shoes.

picture on Drudgereport shows the “scrtached in letter ‘B’” and one heckuva “shiner” — i read elsewhere that there are also survellience photos of her assailant from the banks atm/vestibule — but no actual video of the attack — which happened near car.

A little caution/skepticism is called for but I think it's legit... certainly as a NYC resident i can tell you the idea of being attacked just for wearing GOP/McCain gear is NOT crazy...

I won't wear any political stuff unless I’m going out alone — no need for my wife a daughter to hear and see what people say to anyone who dares to have a political idea that is different than their own...

I haven’t seen in any report where the girl was when she was mugged. I believe one report stated it took place “off camera”, so it is possible he followed her to her car.

Looks like they’re still investigating. I do hope she isn’t making this up, but it’s not that hard to believe. The fake one DID put out his orders to “get in their face”.

Some people just take it a little too far.

If they have imagery that aligns with the time-line of her story, great. I sure hope they do.

Another thing I don't like (that I forgot to mention) is this: how many 20-something women go to an ATM at 9:00 on a city street anywhere? This time of year, 9:00 PM is dark. I wouldn't do it, not in a million years, not anywhere. ATMs are death after dark, even in relatively good neighborhoods, which this obviously was not.

I mean, come on, 20 year old GOP campaign workers are supposed to be smart. It's the other side that has the la-la-land people.

Every article I have read and this video negate to mention if anything was caught on the ATM's camera. Do have a source about this all happening out of view?

I got it from the original thread, posted earlier this afternoon after Drudge put the story on his front page. Check the fourth paragraph of the story at this link.

I’ll be buying ammo before election to prepare for a McCain win. I lived through the LA riots, If McCain wins rage will be ten times that.
I can totally picture Barbara Streisand charging Hanity with a suicide vest.

Thanks. The next question is whether any reports have stated that the possible attacker was at least seen on camera before or after the timeframe of the yet-to-be-proven attack?

BTW-I noticed how the woman hasn’t been named but her picture has already been released. Is this normal fare? And why couldn’t the person that posted the pick for this article at least be able to see they have the picture inverted?

Uh... the B is backwards (mirror image) or flipped,
as if she made the mark herself while looking in the
mirror. Otherwise, the attacker would have had to
hold her head in his lap to make the mark, while she
had her legs and hands available to fight him off?

I’m skeptical.

This could could be a “Darwin Award” candidate.

I’m just sayin’...
