Think about it this way - he beat the crap out of her, she was on the ground and he approached from the top of her head and carved the B.
Stand on your head and look at the picture again.
Some sumbich comes after me or mine, he won't get close enough, by at least many 10s of yards, to flic that Bic.
I bet the MSM is FURIOUS Drudge has this up.
Many in the MSM use Drudge as their home page.
This in front of their faces will drive them nuts.
Here is his response:
Thanks for your material. I agree that the internet material on Michelle Malkin's site is disturbing, but trash on the Web is universal. This doesn't strike me as of the same public character as what Mr. Lightman reported, with incidents at rallies and the invective from the podiums. As for your other links, the ATM attack seems to be street crime, and it's by no means certain from the reporting that it's political. What's the B scratch supposed to indicate - Barack? Not proven. The vandalism at various GOP sites is standard fare from all sides in campaigns; again, it's not at the same level as what Mr. Lightman documented. I've seen no reliable verification that McCain's bus was shot at; again, this report seems to be Web rumor. In short, I don't believe the general incitement of hate that could lead to violence is nearly equivalent, and until we see evidence that it is, we won't be doing a parallel story. Thanks for your concern, Robert A. Rankin
He cherry picked what he wanted to comment on and dismissed all of the information. Talk about being in the tank.
Obama wins, the lefties have a lootin' shootin' "victory celebration."
Lock and load at sundown November 4.
The woman is a legit Republican volunteer, however that fact that she went to her friend's home, then cam back with him to the same ATM later, and from there called police is quite odd. I think she was likely attacked, and that the guy likely hit her because she was for McCain. But I am suspicious of the "B". It is just so over the top. What mugger on a high-traffic street would take the time to do that, and how could he make the "B" so clean while she would no doubt have been struggling to get away?
A Pittsburgh station said Sarah Palin spoke to the victim.
I find it pretty hard to believe she wouldnt struggle and make it pretty hard to scratch such a nice B into her face. And why is it backward? Was her assailant looking into a mirror at the time?
If someone had a knife to your throat do you think you would move around much? After having been pummeled by a 6’5” 200lb large male? As far as the UPSIDE DOWN B, think like a criminal going after someone on the ground.
Turn the image over. That's exactly how a B would be made by a person who had her head locked down by his left arm around her chin or neck, while he used the point of the knife on her with his right hand. The story linked at Drudge says he hit in the back of the head, knocking her to the ground, and then continued hitting her. She may very well have been stunned and thus no longer struggling.
That’s a real black eye... Lord knows I’ve had enough of them in my life to know. As for the “B”... looks like a wound by keys or other similar object.

Yup, the 'B" was backward in the picture I saw like it was done by someone looking in the mirror. I will believe it when I see the ATM cam.
Well, you are assuming that her attacker was facing her eye-to-eye. It is just as possible he was on top of her facing down, possibly holding her arms with his legs, in which case the "B" would be exactly as the picture shows.
Obviously, neither of us were there so we cannot be certain, but I have no reason to believe she lied.
Ashley Todd's face carved on by dedicated Obama supporters.
Yes. From the story:
She is a volunteer for the McCain-Palin campaign," said campaign spokesman Peter Feldman. "Sen. McCain has reached out to her via telephone and has spoken to her and her family, as has McCains running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, Feldman said.
The difference being if he wins, it will probably be their own neighborhoods they'll be trashing, along with the odd piece of public property, like police cars, buses, etc. But if he looses, when he looses, they'll have other targets for their rage.
Fortunately, many of those other targets are armed to the teeth, and then some.
I didn't read it that way. I read it that the friend called the police, and then they led the responding officer to the ATM. From the story:
...The friend called police and the officer met them on Cypress Street in Bloomfield, police said.
Todd's friend offered to drive her back in the direction she came from to look at ATMs until she found the right one, police said. A police officer followed until Todd pointed out a Citizens Bank ATM at Liberty and Pearl, police said.
If a huge 6’4 guy stuck a knife in my face and threatened me with it, I probably wouldn’t move a muscle. Might not even breathe.

Is this for real? The judge rules on the Birth certificate?
It's real, BUT it's only the filing/motion for summary judgement. It's not the judgement itself. Notice the "Order" is not signed.
However Hannity hinted today at something coming out of PA tomorrow, that is Friday.
