A Pittsburgh police commander says a volunteer for the McCain campaign who reported being robbed and attacked near a bank ATM in Bloomfield has confessed to making up the story. Police say charges will be filed. More details to follow.

See post 47 for link. She is a RON PAUL fan who recently joined the McCain campaign.

Sorry, but I don't think self mutilation is a Republican trait. It's probably a wacky lefty pretending to be a Republican. I put nothing past the libs. They are the enemy within.

I think it’s a trait of a mental patient.

Todd told police that while she did not remember how the backward “B” got on her face, she may have done it herself since she was the only one in the car when she saw it.

“She indicated that she has prior mental problems and that she does not remember how the backward letter B got on her face,” Richard told reporters today.

Is the girl a retard or an Obama plant?

[DrHannibalLecter]

i hope so too for the sake of this campaign

[wardaddy]

well at least it never got much traction either way

[Pumpkinj]

How ‘bout we send her to jail and rehab her there?

Shes portrayed even on Foxnews.com as a MCCAIN VOLUNTEER. Theres some good investigative reporting.

How about PAULBOT TRIES TO SABOTAGE MCCAIN.

It’s only because of known tactics by Obama supporters that this story was taken as seriously as it was.

No one would believe for a second that a McCain supporter would behave in this manner.

That being said, this story was questioned immediately on Free Republic.

I’m doubting that she even worked for McCain ... is there proof of that?

I hate to break it too you, but mental illness knows no party or ideological bounds.

Has to be...anybody this stupid is a bonafide Bushbot.

That was a PaulBot, not a Bushbot. Most Bushbots are Christians, and would never engage in the Ungodly Behavior this person did.

Sucks that one of ours has been caught using the sleazy tactics of the left, but it doesn’t change the fact that virtually the exact thing DID happen to a woman last week—when the deranged Hussein supporter attacked and wounded the middle-aged woman with her McCain sign...

I can't help you from your description but if what you noticed was high activity on the hard drive it was more likely downloading your files than uploading ... :-(

Prolly want to run ad-aware and spybot search & Destroy ...

“One thing is certain: muckraking homosexual Matt Drudge has Judased conservatives and Republicans yet again.”

Please don’t perpetuate these liberal lies. If I’m not mistaken, Matt was engaged to be married not too long ago. He is far from being a homosexual.

“I disagree. I think McCain should say, (a) He really hopes that she gets the help she needs (he has); and (b) he denounces and rejects race-baiting of any kind. Whatever her mental condition, her behaviour was detestable.’’

I like that except for the inclusion of “race-baiting”
McCain would give the impression that when anyone speaks out against Obama, they are race-baiting.

He could do all the above but leave out the buzz words!

Appreciate your follow-up post. Of course, this wasn't the bulk, or even the worst of the nastiness in here yesterday. I found the virulency of some not only repulsive, but also the real-time embodiment of the very worst sort of stereotyping leveled at FReepers by leftist thugs--who, as another poster indicated, are the last ones who should throw stones.

Yeah, I realize that emotions are high. I also know that we can be prone to assume the worst, because past experience has led us to that. I also know that it is much easier for some to project outward than look inward. The upshot is that, often times, many blithely provide the enemy with the very ammo they seek, without a seeming thought to the potential for blowback.

Drudge may have recklessly started this snowball rolling, but there were way too many FReepers who were all to happy to kick it further and faster down the hill. In other words, she didn't make people in here appear to be presumptuous fools. That was the other self-inflicted wound in this case.

Of course, why would anyone listen to me? I've been told I'm a troll. Apparently having an aversion to engaging in self-defeating auto-mutilation carries that consequence.

Breaks my heart...really.

I would not be surprised if she turns out to be a liberal trying to make conservatives look bad.

Agreed. The behavior speaks for itself.

[castowell]

sup wid u?

I was getting yelled at by a FReeper yesterday when I suggested this looked fishy to me.
