They done up and done it now!!!! Well at least "this one" has.
Ashely Todd a Republican college student, McCain supporter and resident psycho, concocted a whale of tale that has pulled the McCain campaign down to new depths and opened some very old American race wounds. In the sick sad spirit of the lynching of Emmett Till or the absurd claim lobbed by Susan Smith, Todd proclaimed to police and on the internet that a large African American Obama supporter had mugged her.
Not only did he steal the $60 she had just gotten out of the ATM in a rough Pittsburgh neighborhood, he also punched and kicked her a couple of times before carving a backwards "B" in her face. And why did she say that it happened, because she had a McCain/Palin bumper sticker on her car.
Guess what? She confessed... IT WAS ALL FRIGGING LIE!! A disgusting, revolting, race dividing lie.
Is this really how you want to be remembered? Do you really want the record to show that you were so afraid that your candidate had no chance to win that you would resort to this sort of vile racist tactic? I was so shocked and repulsed by this report. The fact that it has gotten so much time on mainstream television just makes things worse.
With only 11 days left you have to know that we've only touched the surface. The claims will become more egregious. But as we inch closer to history be not afraid they won't get this one like they did in 2000. Be not intimidated. Carry on the fight until the end. We must not be deterred by their hate. Our focus must remain sound and just. Keep the hope alive!! We will get the change that we need. GO OBAMA!!! GO BIDEN!!!
