McCain's Last Ditch Effort
 
McCain's campaign is getting desperate. They faked an attack on a girl where she got a B scraped into her face and a black eye. They know they are on a sinking ship. They'll do just about anything now.

Is this August? I think we've reentered silly season.

Yeah and Obama has been going out at night and personally painting over the McCain yard signs in my town :headshake

Obviously the picture is a lame joke, but I have to ask - is the rest of your post meant to be humorous Radar? You really believe the McCain campaign strategy including notching 'b's' into stupid white girls and claiming it was an Obama move?

Radar 10-27-2008 05:36 PM

The girl was a McCain campaign worker, and the head of the local McCain campaign was the one who called it in to the cops.

She was so dumb, she made the B backwards, which the police immediately suspected was made by herself while looking into a mirror.

She has admitted the McCain campaign was involved.

News link.

She's admitted the whole story was a hoax and that she's had previous mental problems. No mention of whether anyone else in the McCain campaign besides her was "involved" or otherwise implicated.

How about this great "joke":

Wonder what they would have done if they used an Obama look alike and put it in a tree, anyone?

Pete threw out an Obama/terrorist flyer last week. Lots of hilarious stuff out there.

a) who is they? This isn't the campaign this is something a supporter has done for halloween

b) as far as I am aware the cultural significance of putting a black man's effigy in a tree would be somewhat greater than hanging the effigy of a woman. Unless America has some hidden history of hanging women in large numbers?

Not yet. Apologist.

I find the two white supremacist lads who plotted to kill 88 black students and then end with Obama, or die trying, a hell of a lot more troubling.

I said over a year ago that I believe Obama will be assassinated. He hasn't even been elected yet and so far two plots have been foiled.

How long do you really think it's going to be before someone gets close enough to get a shot off?

When she did, police say she admitted that she made the whole thing up and that it snowballed out of control.
She did - there was no grand conspiracy - It was a mentally ill girl all by herself starving for attention. Shall we string her up now or wait until after the trial?

That doesn't bother me that much. The cops were obviously on to them and given the amount of protection that our President receives I doubt they would have gotten even close.

On the otherhand hanging an effigy from a house or a tree is a legal hate crime that incites other to do stupid things, like burn down someones house or perform a violent act on an unsuspecting person. It is more about the double standard I see here and else where, like it is only some kind of prank for the holiday. Well that is until they hang an Obama one from the tree. Then people will be all outraged. I would not support that act and I do not support the one of Palin.

yeh - once the immature oneupsmanship starts.... Stupid people are everywhere. EVERYWHERE I tell ya!
