I agree this shit should not happen ... but LTRT why did you not post the article about the Obama supporter that got the shit "KICKED" out of him during a McCain rally in Florida?

This shit has happened on both sides and I blame the McCain campaign for all of the nastiness this campaign has seen. When you allow your supporters to scream "KILL HIM" ... "TERRORIST" ... TRAITOR etc ... you are raising the temp. too high.

I agree... what happened to her is wrong on so many levels.

MAYBE LTRT hadn't heard of the incident in Florida? (Not really trying to speak for you LTRT). I certainly hadn't of that incident. By that logic, posts should have been started by Obama Thumpers on the Text Gaffe announcing Biden as the running mate (you remember, when those who signed up were supposed to get a 5 minute head start on the rest of the world and it ended up the world got about a 3 hour head start on them). Lord knows we've heard enough about gaffes committed by the McCain camp from the Obama Thumpers.

Believe me or not, I did not hear/read about that one. I'm surprised that someone from the left didn't post it to continue the slams on the right.

Yes it has and you are certainly free to blame whom you want, why change the tone at this stage of the game.

That's why I posted 2 links, once again if you choose to believe it's false, go right ahead. Prove me wrong and I will humbly eat crow.

I've been waiting for someone to suggest a tag-team cage match to settle it all.

The only thing worse that the alleged attack is that either side would even think a person like the attacker in any way represents a political party or it's members, and then go on to use it for negative campaigning.

People are getting more stupider by the fucking day.

And half of those hold elected offices.

Can't argue with that.

I'm voting for Turkish Wrestling!

Pre-attack, McCain volunteer blogged from "wrong side of pittsburgh"
OCTOBER 23--Shortly before a John McCain campaign volunteer was reportedly robbed at knifepoint and had a "B" carved in her face after her assailant noticed that her car carried a McCain bumper sticker, the woman blogged last night that she was "Stubbornly searching for a bank of america to avoid ATM fees" and had somehow ended up "on the wrong side of pittsburgh."
Ashley Todd, a 20-year-old Texas college student, told cops that she was robbed of $60 by a 6' 4" black man who weighed about 200 pounds. Todd claimed that when her assailant noticed the McCain sticker on her vehicle, he punched her in the head and carved the letter on her right cheek (a battered Todd can be seen at right).
Shortly before the reported 9 PM attack, Todd updated her Twitter page with a post noting that she was, "Stubbornly searching for a bank of america to avoid ATM fees." Soon after, she blogged, "Pretty sure I'm on the wrong side of pittsburgh." Three hours after that update, Todd wrote, "Oh the blog I will be making soon...Its been a rough night."
A screen grab of Todd's Twitter page--which was linked from her page on a College Republican National Committee web site--can be found below. At about 6 PM (est) tonight, Todd's Twitter page became protected and was no longer publicly available. (1 page)

It's confirmed that she lied.. Not posting the stories... there are several online.

OK, I apologize for the thread. What do you know, you can't believe everything you read on that darn internet.

Hrm... a false story hyped by Drudge. Go figure.
