McCain Volunteer Ashley Todd Assaulted By Obama Supporter

A 20 year old Republican volunteer worker has reportedly been attacked by an Obama supporting mugger in Pittsburg.Ashley Todd, 20 from Texas, alleges that she was robbed at knifepoint at an ATM and knocked down by a man who then carved a “B” in her face after noticing a sticker for John McCain on her car. The story first came to prominence from the SarahsArmy blog, then picked up by the Drudge Report who initially claimed Todd was a McCain campaign worker.

Police have told the media that they are exploring all angles, including the alleged political side.Besides the timing this close to the election, the story raises some interesting questions. Was the attack on Todd politically motivated, or is it an elaborate hoax?

There’s are couple of strange things: like Todd not immediately seeking help after the attack (despite her visible injuries), then only later reporting the matter to police, and then only getting medical help the following day. Women who are attacked sometimes don’t act rationally due to shock, and we wouldn’t suggest that her delays were solid evidence of the hoax.But then there’s the B. It’s backwards. Maybe the mugger was a dyslexic black Obama supporter
