This account from October 23, 2008 WTAE channel 4 is obviously not going to get national attention--unlike people saying unkind things about Obama at McCain/Palin rallies. I wonder why?
PITTSBURGH -- A 20-year-old woman who was robbed at an ATM in Bloomfield was also maimed by her attacker, apparently because of her political views, Pittsburgh police said.The Obama campaign was upset about this, of course. Freelance socialists implementing Obama's "share the wealth" program take away jobs that properly belong to union members who work for the IRS! You know, I think there's a reason that Democrats want state laws that take the vote away from convicted felons to go away; it's too much of a part of their constituency.
According to WTAE's news exchange partners at the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Ashley Todd, of College Station, Texas, was using an ATM at Liberty Avenue and Pearl Street just before 9 p.m. Wednesday when a man approached her and put a knife to her throat.
Police spokeswoman Diane Richard said the robber took $60 from Todd, then became angry when he saw a McCain bumper sticker on the victim's car. The attacker then punched and kicked the victim, before using the knife to scratch the letter "B" into her face, Richard said.
The Tribune-Review reported that Todd, who isn't familiar with the area, drove to a friend's house and together the pair located the Citizens Bank ATM at Liberty and Pearl where the attack happened and called police.Todd declined to comment to the Tribune-Review. Friends said she is in Pittsburgh volunteering for the McCain-Palin campaign.

The robber is described as a dark-skinned black man, 6 feet 4 inches tall, 200 pounds with a medium build, short black hair and brown eyes. The man was wearing dark colored jeans, a black undershirt and black shoes.
UPDATE: I have had people ask me if I really believe this story. At this point, I don't see a strong reason to disbelieve it, and apparently, the police are taking it seriously as well. Of all the claims that I have seen about why this couldn't have happened, the only argument that is worth even a little attention is that the "B" is backward on her cheek--which is what might happen if you scratched yourself in a mirror. (A lesbian "victim" of a hate crime was caught some years ago in San Francisco because she had written several words on her face in a mirror, and had not realized that they would be backward.) However, if you write a B from above (as, for example, if you were holding a much shorter person by the hair, and scratching a B from above), it will be "backward" in the sense that it appears in the picture.
There are multiple violent incidents every election cycle by leftwing Democrats who are clearly too mentally unstable to handle the excitement. Why is it so hard to believe that it is happening in this election cycle?
UPDATE 2: She confesses now that she made it all up.
