I have my bumper sticker on a magnet. If in certain neighborhoods I take it off because I don’t want my car destroyed.

Liberals believe in free speech - for porn peddlers like Larry Flynt. Just not for citizens who want to express political feelings. I wonder if the MSM will go to the mats to protect our right to put bumper stickers on our cars... I hear crickets. (Oh, and be careful in dem neighborhoods - maybe pollsters can tell us where high percentages of dems live)

Sad that her name is now out there. McCain’s people better be getting her some help ASAP.

Dear god, this is the state of education in our country... he made the B backwards.

[PapaBear3625]

I repeat, the article I read 30 minutes ago...when the first post on this was made...did NOT say she was a campaign worker.

Well, the current articles do confirm she's a campaign worker. The attacker may not have known she was a campaign worker, but from the data we have it appears she was carved specifically BECAUSE she had a McCain sticker on her car.

She was CUT for being a McCain supporter.

[CONSERVE]

looks upside down to me as if the perp was standing over her head as she lay on the ground.

[who knows what evil?]

I wonder if Governor Palin will mention this during her rally tonight...I would expect her to offer a prayer on her behalf...

[Bush Revolution]

He is an Eyore...Or however you spell it...He has become very negative.

[Columbo]

Not necessarily...if depends which way her head was facing the attacker. From above and in a north/south alignment would create a “B” like that.

[hiredhand]

Here's the problem. There's a large group of people to the right who are "restrained" at the moment by a moral standard which is completely imperceptible to the left. But to the right of that group are a fair number of people who are ready to spill blood NOW. They've either decided that it's a moral imperative to engage the left using organized violent means, or they simply don't observe the same moral standard.

If this fair number of people become impatiend and make the bad choice of escalating organized violence, then those just slightly to their left are going to be forced to take sides. In addition, it goes without saying that both of these groups (the far right, and ultra far right) are the most well armed of all sections of American society.

People need to calm down and take a breath, take stock of resources, and be as patient as we can afford to be. Once started, violence can escalate very quickly and is difficult to reverse once those involved have truly committed to achieving an end through it.

That looks like it will leave a scar. I’ll switch back to “mutilation”. The young woman doesn’t look very big either. But I never said that sociopathic thieves were smart or gentlemanly.

[MrB]

So there is NO DENYING that this was politically motivated thuggery.

[jennyjenny]

Oh no.

[flyfree]

No the recent news stories say she was knocked down and then he carved the B. He was probably standing over her.

[shezza]

Exactly. THe perp would be kneeling over her head/face, not standing on her chest to scrawl a “correctly oriented” B. It’s upside down.

[Loyolas Mattman]

The backwards B makes me VERY nervous. I was joking about Morton Downey, Jr. before. Now I am deadly serious.

This could completely and totally blow up in our faces.

I’ve gone from DEFCON 2 back to DEFCON 4 on this one.

[Maverick68]

Agreed to an extent, but haven’t WE been patient enough?

[WellyP]

The guy may be left handed. Looks like he got her in a head lock with his right hand.

[thefactor]

ding ding ding!!! good catch. i think you are correct. he could have been kneeling over her with her head towards him.

[1972BornFree]

Just hit me, maybe she took her own picture in the mirror and sent it out to the media. That would explain the backwards B (I think, wouldn’t it be backwards if she took the picture in the mirror)

I will tread cautiously though, I was duped by the run away bride a few yrs ago.
