    I watched it on Fox News atleast that's what they said, yes Fox News cause thats the station I have to watch at work and twice I saw it there. I surprised he did that so early in this story, I kept saying just wait and see.

    Peace

    It's true I also heard that McCain and Palin both talked to her. Palin was just here yesterday I believe.

    for the record, Fox news has boldly reported that this was a fake, just saw it about 15 minutes ago.

    Just this morning they were making an argument fot this to be true now this story will be dropped like a hotcake. Well they just mentioned it again that it was a hoax.

    I feel sad for the girl but can you imagine how some black men are feeling in that Pittsburgh area or even how they were looked upon yesterday when this story broke?

    You know, this Ashley Todd is really getting a lot of press. Seems like people are interested in her story. I wonder if it is too late for McCain to name her as his running mate. Could result in a little bump.

    I can see the new addition to McCain's stump speech: "My friends, a McCain-Palin administration will work hard to make sure 'Ashley the race-baiting hoaxster' can achieve her American dream."

  • I feel sorry for the girl. She has a history of mental illness, apparently. It's Matt Drudge, the freepers and McCain-Palin who need to ask themselves some questions about their judgement in rushing into action without the full benefit of facts.


    SHE says she has a history of mental illness. It's a cop-out to get herself out of more serious crimes than filing a false report. She doesn't know how the B got there and she's acting like she had some psycho blackout.

    Yeah, of course she did, that way she can get out of faking a hate crime and being too stupid to realize what she did.

    This election is in Twilight Zone territory at this point. Remember when Palin got named and everyone said "Who? Huh?" That was the beginning. I can't wait for November 5.

    I'm not falling for THAT shit either. If you took a look at her twitter page yesterday, she fucking set everything up.

    "Stubbornly searching for a Bank Of America atm to avoid atm fees"

    "Pretty sure I'm on the wrong side of Pittsburgh"

    "Oh, the blog I will post tonight...it's been a rough day"


    paraphased, that's what was on her twitter page. The "rough day" came three hours after the other two.
  • What a fucking sad state of affairs. I'm glad that people were quick enough to see through it though. That is, at least, encouraging.

    All I can say is thankfully there wasn't retalitory attacks on black young men because of this douche bag. What a piece of shit to pull some thing like this.

    Also I guess bootlegger is too busy pulling his foot out of his mouth to come back on here after his remark.

    To be honest, I don't even know her and would guess she does have a history of mental illness. This isn't the kind of thing a well person does--ever. But, it is the kind of thing that mentally ill people do day in and day out. I don't think it's a cop-out for her, saying she's ill. She's saying she doesn't even know why she did it now. I don't think she could execute something as poorly as she did--a backwards B--and then say something that sounds so authentic-sounding without being ill. She fits the picture of mentally ill perfectly, but the picture of a woman attacked very poorly. I said in an earlier post before the hoax info came out that I thought she was ill, and I stand by it.

    Have you seen her Twitter page? She doesn't really seem sick to me. Just kooky. Saying things like "McCain is gonna win! Holla!"

    Looks like a deliberately thought out plan to me. Extraordinarily poorly executed, however.

    "Todd confessed to police that she was driving alone, looked in the mirror, saw her black eye and the "B" on her face, and didn't know how they got there. She assumed she could have done it herself, she said, and then she made up the story about the attacker.

    "She saw the 'B' on her face, and she immediately thought about Barack," Bryant said."

    Wow. She must have some mental problems, or she's one of the worst liars in recent history.

    I just can't understand someone who would want to play a race-baiting game like that. It's absolutely disgusting.

    McCain Aides Aggressively Pushed Mutilation [size=+2]Hoax[/size]
    By Steve Benen, Washington Monthly
    Posted on October 24, 2008
    http://www.alternet.org/bloggers/

    I wanted to follow up briefly on the earlier item on the Ashley Todd hoax, because the story, which started and ended with incredible speed and efficiency, offers a few angles that matter more in the broader context.

    Jonathan Chait, for example, emphasizes a good point.

    I don't think the actions of one sick volunteer say anything at all about John McCain or his campaign. They do, however, tell us a lot about right-wing yellow journalists, from Drudge on down, who manipulated primitive racial-sexual fears for partisan gain.

    Quite right. There's been an ongoing "debate" (I use the word loosely) of late about Drudge's influence, and the Todd fiasco is likely to do some lasting harm to his credibility and judgment. It's about time.

    There's also this quote from John Moody, Fox News' executive vice president, which we talked about earlier.

    If the incident turns out to be a hoax, Senator McCain's quest for the presidency is over, forever linked to race-baiting.

    I rejected this out of hand earlier, because it struck me as unfair to tie the McCain campaign to a ridiculous stunt that McCain aides probably had nothing to do with. But upon further reflection, that might be letting McCain off the hook too easy.

    I find it impossible to believe the campaign coordinated Todd's hoax or knew about it in advance. But that's not the end of the story. The McCain campaign did follow Drudge's lead and pushed this story aggressively with reporters, hoping, in Chait's words, to manipulate primitive racial-sexual fears for partisan gain.

    And that's really not O.K. As Josh Marshall noted, "There are many questions to be asked about who pushed this story yesterday afternoon and last night. A lot of explaining." The end of the "story" shouldn't be the end of the questions.

    Finally, a friend of mine asked me this afternoon if I felt sorry for Ashley Todd. Honestly, and at the risk of sounding callous, I don't know. Someone who felt compelled to lie to the nation and apparently carve her own skin in order to "help" the McCain campaign probably needs some help.

    But this wasn't just some spur of the moment accident or the result of a random bad decision -- Todd deliberately perpetrated an elaborate hoax, exploited racial fears, and lied wildly in the hopes of helping change the outcome of a presidential election.
