Woman Attacked At ATM, Assailant Carves Letter Into Her Face
Advertisements [?]Source: WTAE-TV
A 20-year-old woman who was robbed at an ATM in Bloomfield was also maimed by her attacker, police said.
Pittsburgh police spokeswoman Diane Richard tells Channel 4 Action News that the victim was robbed at knifepoint on Wednesday night outside of a Citizens Bank near Liberty Avenue and Pearl Street just before 9 p.m.
Richard said the robber took $60 from the woman, 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.
Richard said the woman refused medical treatment after the assault, which happened outside the view of the bank's surveillance cameras.

32. Fits right in with the racist crap the Republicans are stirring up.
"If Obama gets elected big angry black men will rob your women and carve Obama's initials into their faces!!!!"

There's another thread on it in GD. Most of the replies are along the lines of "It's a lie. Didn't happen."
If it doesn't fit the template, then :lalala:

Hell, the States section is harder to find than the Dungeon for 9/11 crap

The attack alledgedly happened in front of the bank's surveillance cameras, so film at eleven.

If some assailant had carved any letter that symbolized McCain/Palin/any Republican into the face of a black person in Pennsylvania, the DUmmies would be screaming far and wide.
Hypocrites, as usual. :bird:

Of course.
Surely you expected nothing different, sir.

Update V: Some people are already saying “hoaxâ€; I think that’s unlikely (but still possible). Thanks to the local news report, we know the attack occurred. Not too many young women would scar their faces just to create a political hoax. As for the reversed/upside-down B, all I can tell you is that I got this from a source close to Ashley, who assured me that she wanted to go public (it was also on her Twitter page) and that the photo came directly from her. It could have gotten reversed on the computer, or the attacker may have had her on the ground with her head upside-down in relation to his.
Excellent point (http://hotair.com/archives/2008/10/23/mccain-supporter-maimed-for-her-politics-by-robber/) The reversal of the letter bothered me, also, but it could well have been upside down, not reversed.

I was thinking the exact same thing, and actually I am still a bit bothered by it. Not 100% convinced that the story is accurate, her mugging is fact but that B still bothers me, why not an O?
Sorry just a bit skeptical here.

....and MSM will make it a big story even if they know it's false so they can make an even bigger story out of it when it falls apart.
...and some right bloggers were the first to question it happened as stated......do leftist bloggers hold there own to the same standard?

I would suppose it might be for 'Bitch' for not supporting The One, as easily as for 'Barack.' Skepticism is always warranted on this kind of things at first impact, no matter which side they are aid, but so far the cops aren't coming out with anything that indicates they have reason to question the report, so it is looking more solid rather than less as time goes by.
