McCain Supporter Ashley Todd Made Up Story About Being Attacked

The blogsphere was abuzz with a story that a McCain supporter was attacked by a black man because she, well, supported Senator John McCain for President.  A photo got out and went international that had Ms. Todd with a black eye and a kind of red "B" branded into her right cheek.  


Even as it went out, some expressed skepticism, of all and unexpectedly, the clumsily right-wing blogger Michelle Malkin called it early:

I’ve reported on the great lengths that warped attention-seekers have gone to in perpetrating fake hate crimes, including beating themselves up, carving swastikas on their dorm room doors and walls, locking themselves in bathroom stalls, and burning down their own houses.

Which is why I’m not jumping up and down with outrage over Drudge-promoted story of a McCain volunteer claiming to have been attacked by a black man whom she accused of carving a “B” in her face after spotting her McCain bumper sticker.

She refused medical treatment after reporting the incident to police. Why on earth would she do that?

And yep, she made it up.  She said she was attached at an ATM; cameras didn't pick up her image at the ATM.  The "B" on her face -- as you can tell -- is backward, as if someone (her?) stamped it on her face in the mirror.  


Here's a general rule, folks.  Anytime a woman, and more specifically a European American woman claims that she's been attacked by a Black man and that incident is tied to a major event such that it would give her a lot of attention, your best counter-action is to disbelieve the story until a lot of credible evidence comes in.  


Why?  Simple.  She elected to drag negative images of Black men into her claim.  That's done so much -- seriously -- that it in itself should be a crime.  I think Todd believed she would get more attention by saying that and of course the police reacted to her cries for justice.  


Now they're pissed and she's being charged with making a false police report -- and maybe more.   Not a good situation for this 20-year old woman. Which begs the question: she's just 20; what kind of parents and friends does Todd have in Texas that would cause her to want to point a false finger at Black men?


That's the unanswered question.

GOP Sicko Brad Blakeman Crits Obama For Visiting His Sick Grandmother!!

Oliver Willis points to Brad Blakeman's criticism of Senator Barack Obama for...taking his campaign plane to visit his sick Grandmother. 

I saw the original post and didn't bother to get the video.  Brad's definitely not a good person.  I'd like to know what his parents think?

"Obama A Better 007" - Daniel Craig Who Plays James Bond

In an interview for his upcoming movie "Quantum of Solace", Daniel Craig -- who plays James Bond -- picks Barack Obama over John McCain as the better James Bond:

I finally ask this British actor a deeply American question: “Who do you think would be the better James Bond—Barack Obama or John McCain?”

Craig doesn’t hesitate. “Obama would be the better Bond because—if he’s true to his word—he’d be willing to quite literally look the enemy in the eye and go toe-to-toe with them. McCain, because of his long service and experience, would probably be a better M,” he adds, mentioning Bond’s boss, played by Dame Judi Dench. “There is, come to think of it, a kind of Judi Dench quality to McCain.”

GOP Conservatives For Barack Obama

Many Republicans are coming over to the side of Senator Barack Obama and Senator Joe Biden and in this video some of them explain why. Personally, I think Governor Palin really wants to be an Obama supporter. (Thanks to Andrew Sullivan for spotting this video.)

Palin's $150,000 Makeover - Socialist Charge Is Racist

My commentary on the RNC's expenditure of $150,000 for Governor Palin and her family, and my assertion that the McCain / Palin Campaign's charge that Senator Obama is socialist is a racist claim that has it's basis in American civil rights history.
