Mayella Ewell is not the first person to be attacked by invisible dyslexic men.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morton_Downey,_Jr.#ControversiesIn 1989, as fascination with Downey's TV show began to wane, he was involved in an incident in a San Francisco International Airport restroom in which he claimed to have been attacked by neo-Nazis who painted a swastika on his face and attempted to shave his head. Some inconsistencies in Downey's account (e.g., the swastika was painted in reverse, suggesting that Downey had drawn it himself in a mirror), and the failure of the police to find supportive evidence, led many to suspect that the incident was a hoax and a plea for attention. A few months later, the show was canceled. Years later, during an appearance on The Howard Stern Show, Downey admitted that he had orchestrated the entire "attack" -- even shaving the front of his own head in the desperate effort to save his show from cancellation...
Perhaps Mayella Ewell, in her own way, is just involved in a desperate effort to save the Republican Party from cancellation on Nov. 4th.
