So news was spreading like wild fire that this McCain campaign volunteer went down to the ATM and was mugged for $60. Apparently the mugger noticed her McCain bumper sticker, turned back proclaiming he was going to "teach her a lesson" and proceeded to beat her and carved a B onto her face.



As it turns out, it's all BULLSHIT.

Police: Campaign Volunteer Lied, Injured Self
Ashley Todd told investigators today she "just wanted to tell the truth" -- and was neither robbed, nor attacked. Todd, 20, is now facing charges for filing a false report to police

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) ― Police say a campaign volunteer confessed to making up a story that a mugger attacked her and cut the letter B in her face after seeing her McCain bumper sticker; now she's facing charges.

At a news conference this afternoon, officials said they believe that Ashley Todd's injuries were self-inflicted.

Todd, 20, of Texas, is now facing charges for filing a false report to police.

Todd initially told police that she was robbed at an ATM in Bloomfield and that the suspect began beating her after seeing her GOP sticker on her car.

Police investigating the alleged attack, however, began to notice some inconsistencies in her story and administered a polygraph test.

Investigators asked Todd to return to the police station today for more questioning and to help them release a composite sketch of the suspect.

When she did, police say she admitted that she made the whole thing up and that it snowballed out of control.

Todd told investigators today that she "just wanted to tell the truth" – adding that she was neither robbed, nor attacked.

"She indicated that she has prior mental problems and that she does not remember how the backward letter B got on her face," Pittsburgh Police Spokeswoman Diane Richard told reporters today.

Todd told police that while she did not remember how the backward "B" got on her face, she may have done it herself since she was the only one in the car.

According to police, Todd said she thought of Barack Obama when she saw the "B" in her rearview mirror.

Officials say they do not believe any other people were involved; and Todd's friends believed the story about the attack – encouraging her to call police.


EDIT: Some of the tell-tale signs that was lying included that she later claimed to have been sexually assaulted as well.

Ok.

Well, I did place a printed banner dealie on my car today, for the No on 8 thing. Went to Target, came back, and it was gone, with a note written in the dust of my back window reading "Go Home Fag". Yeah, that makes sense.

But, it was a test. I don't want to stick things on my car exactly for that reason. So, instead, I place them in my window on the second floor neatly out of having-to-make-an-effort's way.

Still, such degree of attention for something. I honestly don't think it would be mitigated by a McCain dealie, much more likely for McCain fans to beat up an Obama-ite than the other way around.

And "Go Home Fag"? What? I was at bloody Target, of course I'm going home after that.

I'm still trying to rationalize how this all happened. So she claims she blacked out, woke up and found a backwards "B" on her face, somehow traced that to mean Barack Obama, then told her friends this story after they asked her what happened?

Someone in one of the comments on one of the articles I'd read for them mentioned, she probably carved the B with a safety pin while looking in the mirror and then realized she wrote it backwards.
