Greetings and Felicitations,
First, let me say that I hope that person that did this, if the accusation is valid, gets arrested very soon.
Second, it seems that lots of people are thinking this is a little contrived. Even Michelle Malkin, that stalwart Conservative of Rachel Ray fame, thinks the story is a little fishy.
Why that McCain volunteer’s “mutilation” story smells awfully weird
Quote:
Throughout my career, I’ve covered dozens of fake hate crimes — campus hate crime hoaxes, Muslim hate crime hoaxes, fake noose hangings, etc., etc., etc. Most were perpetrated by liberals, but there have been some shameful ones on our side of the aisle as well.
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?

I hope the story is true. I would be saddened to learn that this woman perpetrated a fraud and tried to blame it on Obama supporters. If it's not true then we have another case of someone trying to use race as a tool to create outrage. At some point, we have to stop looking at race as a divisor. Things are better than they used to be but we have a long way to go.
Sincerely Yours,
C. David Neely
