B "carving" incident may demonstrate their desperation

[GrizzlyMan]

I've become increasingly convinced that this is not a random act of violence but a coordinated ploy by the McSame campaign to race bait.

Facts
1-The "victim" was a WHITE FEMALE.

2-It happened in PA. How interesting considering the McSame campaign is now openly talking about their only path to victory relies on PA.

3-The incident in question happened outside the view of the bank and ATM security cameras. How convenient.

4-The alleged assailant wasn't a tie dye shirt wearing white college student hippie type. He was.... you guessed it...a black male. How predictable.

Other DUers have cited the fact the "B" on her face was backward indicating it might have been done by someone (i.e. the "victim") in a mirror.

Regardless, this couldn't be any more fucking transparent.

[JuniperLea]

1. Haha! In a mirror!

Sounds about right. That is the mental acuity we're looking for in a McCain supporter:)

[BOSSHOG]

2. But they know their audience

fake outrage from sea to shining sea.

[Bunny]

3. Yep. Let's capitalize on the racism in W. PA by having a big scary black man

attack a poor little ol' white girl. They are truly, truly desperate.

[polichick]

4. What does the B stand for - bullshit artist??

[slackmaster]

5. Occam's Razor says this was just a mugging

Not much to see, really.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

10. Oh, that's right.

Occam mugged her and carved a backwards B in her face with his razor.

That makes the most sense.

[slackmaster]

17. The backwards "B" probably stands for an epithet commonly applied to women on DU

At least some women.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

18. Bonkers?

At least some women.

[mhatrw]

24. RIIIIIIIGGGHHHTTT!

In how many muggings each year do muggers take the time to lightly pencil scratch curved letters into the victims' faces because they don't like the victims' bumper stickers, Occam?

[slackmaster]

30. It sure as shit wasn't planned and executed by the Obama campaign

I think we can agree on that.

[mhatrw]

33. Nor the McCain campaign.

This one came straight from the fevered imagination of a disturbed freeper.

[slackmaster]

34. Perhaps so

Or a particularly disturbed mugger. It really makes no difference.

[NOLALady]

6. My first thoughts, also.

It doesn't pass the smell test.

How did the "mugger" know which car belonged to her?

[The Blue Flower]

7. Very careful not to draw blood

The photo that's up shows a red B-shaped welt. It certainly wasn't 'carved' into her face.

[tekisui]

12. The headline should read "Woman shows a backward B scratched on her cheek"

CARVED IN HER FACE!!!:eyes:

[sickinohio]

14. Really - Carved?

Looks more like a nail scratch to me. I hope it doesn't take long to prove how fake this story is. Also, that bruise on her eye looks old & well on it's way to healing to me. Any medical professionals on here that can shed any light on how old that healing eye bruise is??

[yardwork]

16. I'm no medical professional, just a mom, but I know that bruises like that take time to appear.

The news report says she was mugged at 9 pm last night. Those bruises are several days old. And that light scratch on her cheek was NOT caused by someone wielding a knife while she struggled. It looks like it was scratched in her cheek by a fingernail.

[sickinohio]

19. That's what I'm thinking also.

Healing, old bruise. The scratch IS a nail scratch (or something on that order). NOT a carving from a razor. Something is MOST CERTAINLY stinking about this story!! I hope her lie is exposed and she is prosecuted for filing a false report, or whatever the legal implications would be.

[tekisui]

8. I leave for one hour and someone gets "B"-orro-d.

Just amazing. With a backward B.

[HeraldSquare212]

9. Actually, it was a Barr supporter!

[goodgd_yall]

11. You're right on all counts

I'm suspicious about the play for Pennsylvania---the time being spent there and this notion it's the only path to victory. If there is going to be voting fraud, I think that is where it's going to be.

[Vinca]

13. As a former cop, I can guarantee you a mugger would not take off

and then come back to make some political statement. That scenario is beyond the pale idiotic. Maybe we'll catch a break and there will be another security camera that picks up on this attack because there is no way a big, bad criminal returned to make a dainty, scratched, near perfect, backwards "B" on someone's face when he could be long gone down the street with her money.

[ailsagirl]

31. What's the word for "beyond absurd?"

:crazy: This McSame freak s how has gone way, WAY too far

[sickinohio]

15. Any medical professionals on here right now?

That looks like a scratching to me. Also, how old is that eye bruise? Looks like it's well on it's way to being healed to me??

[crankychatter]

20. there is no laceration - never was

the eye injury is days old

the redness comes from irritation, mild abrasion

no laceration

I would recommend a topical anti-biotic ointment

the eye area injury is very minor

[ProSense]

21. May? n/t

[kestrel91316]

22. Somebody needs to keep an eye on this girl for the sudden

appearance of improved financial condition, like a new car, or spending spree, or whatever. The Republican Party could be behind this.

[Sodan]

23. She refused medical treatment - non-story. EOM

[barack the house]

25. Barack only needs to make an ad highlighting how crimes rise with republicans Barack for security.

[renate]

26. whose desperation?

I wouldn't be surprised if some McCain supporters dreamed this up. But I don't think it's fair to link this lame stunt to the campaign. The risks are too high--it's being debunked as amateurish even as we speak, and if there were any reasonable way this could be connected to the campaign, McCain/Palin would be even more of a laughingstock than they are now, breaking all previous world records.

[bushisanidiot]

27. No swelling or broken blood vessels. If she were struggling, the B wouldn't have had

the precise curves in it.. it would have been a more crude shape with sharp corners, not curves.
also, i believe that's eyeshadow. that was my first thought when i saw the pic.

[OneGrassRoot]

28. Is this the power of the blogosphere?

Did they fully intend this story to gain legs...but saw how quickly it was shot down by people who could pick this story apart as being less than truthful (at least the Rovian hoped-for political implications)?

Did they float it, for effect, and now the right-wing sites are already retracting it?

Interesting times.......

[workinclasszero]

29. No doubt! OH NOES!! THE BIG BLACK SCARY MEN ARE

GONNA KILL US IF WE DONT VOTE FOR MCKKKAIN!!!:puke:

There is nothing lower than a damn republican! My God they HATE so much! How anyone who calls themselves a Christian could be associated with low down dogs like this, Ill never know!

God save us from the republican party!

[KayLaw]

32. Very transparent.

If I'm ever attacked, beaten and mutilated, please let my assailant be this gentle, careful bad man.
Of course, the RWers are probably swallowing their tongues over the injustice.
