9. Which is why her current story... "past mental problems and not remembering the incident" ...
... is complete bulls**t. One can see she thinks she's above the law, just looking at her Twitter posts.

Drove in circles, did she?

24. Wasn't aware of that fact.
It seems to me this is a sign of how desperate things were viewed INSIDE he McCain campaign, for a campaign worker to think such a drastic ploy was necessary.

33. Think I found that tidbit over at Kos on one of the comment
threads. Like the fact the neighborhood was actually a 'Little Italy' and was not as bad as she made out. Seems her connections with the Young republicans and McCain's campaign could be actually more extensive than the media are reporting as well.

Here's a couple of the threads, sorry I can't tell you exactly where the comments are located, I read them earlier this evening and didn't think I'd be tested on the info :D .

Good luck with that...

23. One of her Twitter tweets hints at her sense of superiority ...

atodd: Wondering if my mad constitutional right debating skills will get me out of this speeding ticket I'm waiting to see the judge about.

27. Keep in mind
chronic lying IS a symptom of psychopathic personality disorder with is a mental problem and runs rampant in the Repuke party. Not remembering is just from the drugs she's on - emulating her hero GWB.

She's not lying in the traditional sense of the word, she is just a textbook Repuke psychopath. Good reason to institutionalize her.

5. Gee, that's a pretty convenient loss of memory!
She's not sure why the media blew this up into a political firestorm? Maybe her little story about a "scary black man Obama supporter CARVING a fucking B on her face because she had a mccain sticker on her car" was a tad bit POLITICAL?!?


She sure carries out the essence of the mccain campaign well, lie, cheat, accuse falsely, race bait, deny responsibility, be completely removed from reality.

7. I think the real story here isn't Ashley Todd
Edited on Fri Oct-24-08 07:58 PM by JohnnyRingo
The scandal comes from behind the republican veil.

From Drudge who used words like "carve" and "mutilated" to amplify the seriousness of the wounds, to the local party members who called cable and local news outlets with bogus quotes from the "victim" to pound home the point that this was done by a black Obama supporter.

Even those super sleuths at FR jumped on the bandwagon in recreating the crime for a maximum racial fear factor and gore.

All in all this scandal, and the disillusioned young girl, has served to expose the Republican Party for it's core of racism and dirty campaigning.

11. So very true. Someone should do an article on THAT, detailing how ....
... the Right Wing propaganda machine amplified this story, and how the corporate/mainstream media were complicit.

Fortunately, the Pittsburgh police force did *their* job well.

13. I worked in law enforcement for years. VERY few people are unable to appreciate their actions and
the gravity of them, EVEN if they have some history of "instability." She knew exactly what she was doing. Look at the planning, detail, and aforethought that went into this. OF COURSE SHE KNEW WHAT SHE WAS DOING AND WHY ! One can be a bit "unstable," and yet FULLY know and appreciate what he or she is doing. If you look into her past, I am willing to bet she has done MANY things to attract attention to herself. In a sense, yes, a sad personality type. Look for the real possibility of problems in her homelife, neglect, etc. At the same time, if she actually is a McCain volunteer, look for a combination of attention-seeking narcism opportunely driven by underlying right wing ideations and racist attitudes. But make NO mistake. She KNEWS and KNOWS just exactly what she did and why. The excuses are termed "minimizations of guilt in order to save face."

14. she's a liar... she is a liar... she is a liar
she is a liar. She admits to being a liar--she typed that on her myspace page of her own volition.

She is a liar; she's mentally competant and she knew what she was doing--that's why she she refused medical care--there wouldn't be any sign of trauma on her body for them to find. She knew there was no black man who attacked her.

28. Not if she pleads insanity
Edited on Fri Oct-24-08 11:53 PM by drmeow
Hope she does :evilgrin: - we'll have to lock her up "for her own good" as she is a danger to herself and others.

Can we say One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest?

Besides - not a big enough donor.

She certainly thinks like a Republican: when you fuck up, blame the press.

32. First she blames a black guy now she says she has mental problems

I didn't believe it when I saw the mark of teh stupid on her, but I might believe she has some sort of racist problem.

As for her "so called" mental problems, the only thing I can think of that would cause you to forget something of the top of my head is multiple personality disorder, and someone would have noticed LONG before now.
