Sounds like a set up by the DemocRATS, like the noose deal was by the black professor a while back.

I’ve heard this story before. Im betting a psycho liberal who supports 0bama did this in an attempt to smear McCain supporters as racists.

Definitely a minority student did it, but at least he got the “empty suit” right.

Yep. Well they couldn’t do the “black church burning crisis”.... they did that in 1996. It turned out to be a hoax also.

I would not be at all surprised? I'm sure the Secret Service is investigating this, because a presidential candidate is involved, and hopefully they will find out who did this.

This has to be an Obama tactic that will be repeated all around the country to press the race issue.
