Remember the Man who was SHOT THREE TIMES for Wearing an Obama Shirt?

[berni_mccoy]

That got so much more press, didn't it?

Or when cars got their tires slashed outside an Obama rally?

Or when that black bear was killed and covered in Obama signs?

Oh, but wait, a girl says she was mugged for being a McCain volunteer and it hits the MSM as a politically and racially motivated hate crime (what? I thought Republicans didn't believe hate crimes existed?). Sounds like bullshit to me and it does to the police as well, who are forcing this girl to take a lie-detector test because the security cameras don't agree with her version of the story. She's going to go to jail for lying to the police.

[lynnertic]

1. I saw those stories. And I wonder if the MSM isn't picking up on this because

it's going to be so much fun to see her wither in flames as she's proven a fraud.

Poor girl.

[FatDave]

26. That's the way it looks to me.

The story is the hoax. It hasn't broken wide open yet, but everybody knows it's coming.

[stuntcat]

2. the bear :(

it was a cub :cry:

That and the tire-slashing both happened in NC. I want to be proud of NC though, I want it to finally go blue.

12. Sickening, no regard for human life if none is shown for an animal's

[tekisui]

3. Or Bill Gwatney murdered.

[gatorboy]

7. Come to think of it, I haven't heard anything about that case in a long while.

[psychopomp]

24. Probably because the assailant was shot dead by police

It is kind of a closed case. On the face of it, a tragedy that has little explanation but has seen its course.

[psychopomp]

23. Missed that story--unbelievable

I just read the little bit at the wiki...just shocking.

4. She needs to go to jail.

NOW!

[SIMPLYB1980]

5. Sigh. Apparently when liberals are attacked for real it's not news.

:banghead:

[redqueen]

16. Well we're not "real Americans" are we?

This is really getting beyond the pale now.

The way the media has jumped all over this story and left those others out... :nuke:

[leftist.]

6. No but I remember when the white teenager was cut up by the big black man

A big black man carved a backwards 'B' into the poor white teenager's face. That's really all I need to know.

:eyes:

[ej510]

9. You nailed it. As a black man I am seen as dangerous.

It's stereotype and the media eats this shit up.

[gmoney]

10. Breaking: They caught him... it's...

13. Do you remember Tawana Brawley? I wasn't going to bring her up. But DU'ers can't let this go.

[leftist.]

15. "I wasn't going to bring her up."

I would have acted on that first instinct. African Americans in just this country alone have had to endure centuries of false accusations and in a lot of cases subsequent murder for nonsense like what this Ashley Todd character pulled. The proper response is to continue to call out the liars when it happens rather than throw up the one or two times it may have happened in the opposite direction.

[KittyWampus]

17. the PROPER response is to acknowledge mental illness and cries for help/attention.

[npincus]

8. this will work for our side... the MSM has the story now

the Pittsburgh police are going to administer a lie detector test (if they haven't already). She is SCREWN.

[KittyWampus]

11. I do not WANT those heinous crimes covered to an extent it encourages copycats. This young woman is

sick. Her story was weak from the beginning. It is in the process of being debunked. It will discourage anyone from trying similar.

[blackballed_2000]

14. apparently.....

the "B" was backwards and seemed more like a fingernail carving....

I say from her rear-view mirror...

[AspenRose]

18. What happened to the Obama volunteer who was attacked?

I haven't heard anything about that since it happened either.

[ellacott]

19. There was a talk show guy that did something similar

I forgot his name.

[AspenRose]

20. Morton Downey Jr.

[ellacott]

21. That's it. Thanks

:)

22. K&R ! /nt

[nichomachus]

25. A mugging is just a mugging -- why the mugger did it isn't important

At least that's what the wingnuts say when the victim is gay, black, Jewish -- or whatever. So, let's ignore motive in this case too.

Oh -- and I just ran the story through my bullshit meter. Not good.

[Ian_rd]

27. This is officially the current easiet way to get on national television.

Previously, as kos pointed out, it was to say: "I supported Hillary in the Primary and now I'm supporting McCain."

Now it will be: "I am a McCain volunteer who got mugged by a (black) Obama supporter."

[marshall]

28. That' happened in London

I'm not sure how much press it got over there.
