Comments:McCain volunteer fakes mutilation by Obama supporter

Shameful
Nevermind that what she did was done with hate, racism, and political intention, but the entire right wing pounced on it and started screaming that Obama supporters and liberals without even looking at the obvious signs it was untrue. Shameful. --Poisonous (talk) 19:59, 24 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Give us a link to where "The entire right wing pounced on it and started screaming that Obama supporters and liberals without even looking at the obvious signs it was untrue." Your post is the only comment I've seen relating to this. --BLaafg (talk) 21:09, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * The blogosphere, mainly. Here's an excellent example. http://www.rightpundits.com/?p=2268#comment-372426 But if you're asking me to go out and find every single blog, comment, video, etc, I've seen relating to it, you think I have way too much time on my hands to prove something to one person on the internet. Just look around and you'll see. --Poisonous (talk) 21:24, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Wait...she lied??
Then give her a cabinet position! She fits right in with the GOP! McSame-Failin' '08!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.166.175.146 (talk) 22:05, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Signs of desperation -- that woman needs help
That entire story was loaded with too many coincidences from the start. This woman needs psychiatric treatment. I hope she gets it now. 66.20.174.108 23:11, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

It is shameful that anyone makes up news at a time like the present. What will happen if our country divides and racism resurfaces to the level felt during the Racial Riots? Is this race truly about the office of the Presidency? Are the chosen ones running for the good of the society? If so, where are the proposals that gain merit as answers to problems to the economy, healthcare and jobs here at home? Why is there only outlandish promises that our country could never afford nor any health insurance company absorb in relation to costs. Was our country not founded on the premise of Freedom to Worship? I feel that integrity is challenged. I fear that my rights are soon to be dissolved into a hodgepodge to protect the rights of others that somehow represent questionable forms of integrity. Would the man that coined the phrase "I have a dream" ever dream that we will defend the rights of others to display their affections publicly among those of us that would never secretly display these behaviors yet we must quieten our beliefs so they can display their belief? Where are the ones to protect my civil rights as a Mother of daughters. Who protects my grandchildren from a society so bizarre that there is only a whisper of what we once were allowed to be proud of as American Citizens. Where and when will we ever be allowed again to consider ourselves people of Integrity, God Fearing. Now we only fear one another. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.6.38.58 (talk) 02:01, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

OK, I would like to see Criminal Charges laid
It seems to be a thing with women that they can make un-substantiated claims of abuse, attacks and what-not and they are believed by police officers and the judicial system, without ANY proof. Make these people accountable for their dodgy statements. (Trumpy (talk) 10:15, 25 October 2008 (UTC))

The judicial system? What are you talking about? Anyway, the girl already had the reluctant look of liar on the photo that appeared of her all over the media and I'm really glad they figured her out. She did the Obama a big favor by outing all the two-faced lying bastards in the McCain campaign and the way the hardcore GOPs relate to the concept of truth. And if you think that by twisted scheme she was working for the Obama campaign to frame McCain'ers, think again. She was reported to have recruited many supporters to the McCain campaign over the summer. --85.82.179.226 11:58, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * One thing that everyone really needs to be careful of is to not judge a whole group by the actions of one individual. Dividing people into groups of any sort of classification, whether it be political, racial, spiritual, intellectual, financial, etc. is akin to racism which, of all the classifications I can think of at the moment, is the most taboo at the moment.  Allow me to make a bit of an analogy.  Say we pull back and group all humans together as a species.  Would you condemn all of humanity by the actions of one man?  Would you say that all humans are vile vicious animals, just because there have been individuals in history that have committed such atrocities?  It seems awfully unfair to me.  When you judge a group through the actions of a single individual, you begin to associate that judgment  with other individuals to who may not deserve it.  What we need to do is see our neighbors and the people we see in the news and on the street as individual people, each with their own unique traits, opinions, experiences and eccentricities.  I feel sorry for this woman.  It is true that what she did was very immoral, but the worst thing is not that she blamed a fictitious crime on an African-American, nor is it that she blamed it upon a supporter of Obama.  The worst thing is that she fabricated a crime at all.  I hope this woman receives good help, and that people won't judge others because of the actions of one individual. --96.252.61.169 17:01, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * eh, there are some problems with your analogy. One easy difference I see between criticizing someone based on their race or their political beliefs is that one ostensibly CHOOSES their political beliefs, religion, etc...  I don't condemn someone for belonging to the human race because they had no choice in the matter.  I do condemn people who choose to join groups who's beliefs/tactics I disagree with, and I would condemn a group if they knowingly harbor "evil" individuals and condone their actions within the group.  If the white race and the McCain supporters don't want to be tarred with the same brush I'll happily paint Ashley Todd with, then they should come out and publicly condemn her actions.  I hope she receives assistance from the mental health community, but I also hope she gets punished for her acts.  Wasting the time of the police with false reports is illegal down there, is it not?67.193.146.210 19:10, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

No one made her do it? Come on!
I don't buy that. Someone somewhere is being a little desperate, and tried to do something. I don't think this woman did this on her own. Someone made her do it to smear the Obama campaign.

As for the woman, let us all scream for blood. This is intolerable. 70.190.243.86 17:45, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Racist
Had to be an attack from "an african american" huh?

Do we still live in 1900? Her parents should be ashamed. Of themselves. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.88.233.234 (talk) 01:17, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Typical
Sounds like she was enacting some kind of fantasy of hers, letting other people believe in it to strengthen their shared beliefs. No matter how many 'good' republicans there are, where I'm from all I see are people like this, who either can't admit it or are TOO vocal in admitting they are afraid of black people, or just plain don't like.. or even hate them. It's to the point where it doesn't surprise me anymore. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.186.96.47 (talk) 20:17, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
