McCain volunteer attacked and mutilated in Pittsburgh

Evidently, this Obama supporter does not follow the inclusiveness plank of the dem party. Just another example of how heated this election is becoming and how the lines between the party supporters have become a wall of separation.

It would be nice to see a discussion of the issues without the flaming that always occurs by each side.
 
1. wtf!?
2. how do you know she was a McCain volunteer?


"Richard said the woman refused medical treatment after the assault"

Refused medical attention?? I need to see pics of this "carving".
 


Richard said the robber took $60 from the woman, then became angry when he saw a McCain bumper sticker on the victim's car. The attacker then punched and kicked the victim, before using the knife to scratch the letter "B" into her face, Richard said.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

LOL. The attacker told Richard this?
 
People getting mugged is bad. And maiming a mugging victim is horrible.

But I think we need more info on this incident before it can be substantiated that the victim was a McCain volunteer (more like supporter) AND the mugging/maiming was politically motivated.

irregardless Im sorry to hear a young person getting attacked like that.
 
I wish this story made more sense. I don't see a robber hanging around after he got the money to carve a B in her face. Why not an O by the way? And why refuse medical treatment? Self inflicted? And what exactly did he shout at her that makes her so sure he took the time to look at her sticker after he robbed her?
 
*sigh

Let's just create two threads. Stupid/illegal/violent things that overzealous supporters/local offices do to the 'other side'. Maybe one thread would be enough 🙂

this kinda makes sense, I'm sorry she got robbed, but the post robbery behavior sounds a little fishy.

Wow.. he is really off on the deep end these past couple months. I know he isn't the best source of news but I used to always visit the site because it would give a decent run down of what was happening, now he just cherry picks polls and highlights things like this. I've all but stopped visiting.
 
Dont worry, the DNC will investigate her, and it will turn out she didnt have a license to have $60 in cash anyway.
 
I do think the newspaper headline was a bit overblown but felt I should quote it directly. The "maiming" appears to be some scratches and not deep lacerations as you would expect from the use of that word.

Still, this is inappropriate at anytime and the effort of some to minimize this is perverted at best. No one, dem or repub should be subject to such an attack simply for who you support.
 
How does the OP know the mugger was an Obama supporter? Was he wearing an ""I'm a Mugger and I Vote Obama"" button?

Did the mugger have the Official Obama/Biden Anti-American Socialist Whitey Attack Blade with kung-fu grip?

I'm sorry the woman was mugged and I'm glad she wasn't hurt but the idea that THIS is an OBAMA SUPPORTER might be a bit of a stretch. Did he flash his voter registration card when he showed her his absentee ballot ???

No, I linked from the Pittsburg outlet.

Oh I know, I was just googling for more info and saw a ton of righty site/forums had the article but no other news outlets, then saw Drudge had it up top.

I don't think people are minimizing the attack, they're just questioning some of these specifics as to the muggers state of mind and motives. Drudge's motive is pretty transparent I think.

Exactly. Maybe he was a ron paul supporter, and the "B" was for biaotch! 😉

 
Maybe the B he carved into his face was his inital or maybe he was making a statment like Zoro aka the ZZZ..................................................................
 
I think the "B" was for Bill

as in Bill Clinton....


....oh wait, are we not blaming everything on Clinton anymore?
 
You might notice (from a quick Google search) that this story is only on ulta right-wing websites (e.g. Hannity, Republic, etc.) - and the odd Hillary forum.
I'm gonna wait for an actual news outlet to say something before passing judgement.
