Woman who claimed she was assaulted and branded with a "B" (wtf?) after her McCain campaign activities were discovered has admitted…
By the standards of FoxNews (they have standards?) this means the election is over.

I wonder what she was really trying to hide by making up the “scary black man” bit?
Made it up…the Rethuglican theme for living.
Digg it right here, please
Won’t McCain and Palin both have to denounce and reject this disturbed woman?
They both called her yesterday.
Let’s get this digg cooking please.
Time to go after the rich. They’ve been winning the class war for far too long and it’s time to take the war to their homes and offices.
Dugg!
So A. Rabid McCain supporter, B. Paid McCain Supporter, C. Crazy lady making up a story? Or AB or ABC
McCain and Palin promised her a job with Joe the Plumber if she stuck with the story. Guess it wasn’t enough in today’s economy.
Don’t White Women get attacked by African American stories sometimes lead to innocent African Americans getting lynched?
McCain must denounce this woman.
Sooo stupid:
Yes, the “B” is backwards–she did this to herself in the mirror.
She claimed she used the ATM–records show she clearly did not.
Is this the best the McCain campaign can get to work on their campaign? I can’t wait for the retractions to come pouring in from Drudge, McCain, Palin, Fox….
[crickets]
Sigh.
After his hit attempt on John Kerry with the fake mistress story in 2004, and his shameless race baiting hyping of this story….Does this give us our Dan Rather moment to finally place him on the margins of any sense of journalism?
-G
Dugg.
Also, making a false report to the police – doesn’t that come with penalties?
Well, no crap he was wrong — all I had to do to figure that out was look at the picture with the backwards B.
I wonder if this woman went to a McCain rally?
This lying woman is going to be charged. I hope she serves some time for this.
scary dumb
Or a free visit to the nearest Mental Hospital for a complete checkup?
Who could have anticipated this?
You make applejack by freezing hard cider and then tapping into the center where the pure alcohol has migrated. I think that’s what’s happening to the GOP in this election cycle. Everything except the racist religious nutcases have been frozen out leaving behind pure essence of wingnuttery. They may even succeed in destroying the Republican Party, so at least no one can say they haven’t accomplished anything.
Is that B on her face make up or a bruise? I am unaware of any brass knuckles that are shaped in the letter B, but I admit that I am not that up on fashion.
Dirty Trick done wrong. It’s the culture of the R politics that causes this kind of thing.
She was a McShame campaign worker wasn’t she?
And I just assumed that the Obama supporter who “attacked” her was dyslexic. Never dreamed it was self-mutilation. /s
Link?
I think that when kudos are due they should be given and the police sniffed out a rat pretty quickly. kudos
The opposite goes for Drudge.
At this point Drudge is dredging
This is just a sad story all the way around
Yup … except it speaks to the level of depravity inherent in the Repugs and their Neocon friends …
BTW … has Mooselini been ‘cuffed and jailed yet ?
Dugg
Note to copycat McFakesters – If a real Obama supporter was going to brand you it would have been an “O” not a “B”. (and p.s. “O’s” are the same forwards and backwards when looking in the mirror)
Another break: over at DKos is a diary about a McCain advisor jumping ship (article in the WSJ) and not only endorsing Obama, but also voting for him via absentee ballot (Huffington Post also has the story).
Ouch.
The stated reason was McCain’s choice of Palin during a time of national emergency.
That’s not my reaction. Mine is disgust and incredulity at the stooooopidity of the GOPers and the wingnuts. Holy SHIT they are assinine morons, twits, criminals, thugs…and they can’t even fulfill the requirements of any of those jobs either.
Do we recall how much the right wing expressed vehemence over this?
Teacher Sentenced For Hate Crime Hoax
Here’s a situation where some gal, a member of a trained McCain Youth Voting Recruitment group, creates a racist hoax in order to deliver an October surprise. While I agree that the gal likely has some mental illness, it’s also clear that she probably knew precisely what she was doing. This was a strategic act…an immoral one, though not an irrational one…at least from the perspective of the Republicans.
Case Example #1: The remarks of the director of FOX, who clearly saw politrical advantages to the “attack”, if it were true.
