Ashley Todd, How Twitter and Raw Story Caught McCain Supporter

The scare tactics of  the John McCain team.

More race baiting from the John McCain/Matt Drudge campaign. Or as The Field Negro said, another white person cries wolf: or, in this case, Obama.

AAPP: It was great that CNN refused to pump up the story. Fox & Friends’ loved to pump up her lies, and race baiting political hate crime. If this was the 1940’s and 50’s a Big Black Guy would have been lynched. What! A Big Black Obama Supporter carving a B into a white woman who attacked her. Thank god, some things have changed in this country, there are now black police officers, detectives and other police officials who questioned the story from the beginning. If this was the deep south or deep north, a black man may have been dragged out of some place and blamed for a crime that never happened. Maybe blogger Jabrielle Ballentine is right, she did it in order to fuel racial tensions. She should be charged with conspiracy to incite a riot.

Ashley Todd’s assault has been confirmed to be a hoax, the McCain volunteer made up attack story reports the Chicago Tribune.

The Police have said there are inconsistencies in the McCain staffer’s story. The Police reportedly admitted Friday the attack was a hoax. I guess the McCain Campaign will have to drop any planned Willie Horton type ad regarding Ashley Todd on the tube. I know the far right news outlets, and conservative bloggers will be pissed. The McCain Camp Has Its Own Tawana Brawley.

You see, the 20-year-old Ashley Todd was facing a Polygraph test to be administered by officials after claiming she was brutally beaten over her political views.

I didn’t cover this robbery story as it sounded like it was fabricated. I like many other bloggers thought this story sounded shaky and smelled awfully weird. The old race baiting trick about a white girl going into a black neighborhood, blaming a black guy for an assualt, fondling and robbery. What really was strange was the writing of the B backwards on the face. I knew that in reading and hearing about robberies, there was a problem that would come out in the red neck wash. You see,  black folks (negros) don’t write messages on people, after a robbery, they just get the hell out of the neighborhood.

New we learn that it was all a bogus hoax, blaming the black man again.

Get this, Ashley Todd, claimed she was attacked and robbed of $60 at an ATM in the Pittsburgh, Bloomfield area Wednesday night when a ‘6′4, 200-pound black man‘ mugged her and discovered she was a McCain: McCain/Palin supporter. Get this, according to Todd, the black man robbed her at knifepoint before noticing the McCain bumper sticker on her car – triggering him to allegedly begin beating Todd with his hands and feet and carving an odd, backwards “B” on her face with his knife.

Now, as reported in Raw Story, shortly before a John McCain campaign volunteer was reportedly robbed at knifepoint and had a “B” carved in her face after her assailant noticed that her car carried a McCain bumper sticker, the woman blogged last night that she was “Stubbornly searching for a bank of america to avoid ATM fees” and had somehow ended up “on the wrong side of Pittsburgh.”

Ashley Todd, a 20-year-old Texas college student, told cops that she was robbed of $60 by a 6′ 4″ black man who weighed about 200 pounds. Todd claimed that when her assailant noticed the McCain sticker on her vehicle, he punched her in the head and carved the letter on her right cheek (a battered Todd can be seen at right).

Shortly before the reported 9 PM attack, Todd updated her Twitter page with a post noting that she was, “Stubbornly searching for a bank of america to avoid ATM fees.” Soon after, she blogged, “Pretty sure I’m on the wrong side of pittsburgh.” Three hours after that update, Todd wrote, “Oh the blog I will be making soon…Its been a rough night.”

A screen grab of Todd’s Twitter page–which was linked from her page on a College Republican National Committee web site–can be found below. At about 6 PM (est) tonight, Todd’s Twitter page became protected and was no longer publicly available. More HERE
