B in the Face....

Did you hear the story last Thursday about a McCain campaign volunteer?   This woman claimed that she was mugged at an ATM machine. She gave the criminal her 60 bucks and then walked back to her car. Apparently, the Criminal viewed her McCain/Palin sticker on the car and got pissed and punched her in the back of the head. Then he cut a backwards "B" in her Face. Of course, this criminal was a six foot four and a black Man.

This is great!!! Another Crazy white woman claiming that some black person stole her baby or carves a "B" in her face.    Unbelievable, I mean, do criminals really have that strong of a political view?   Why is this fake charge always against a black person?    We have enough embarrassing truths... You don't have to create fantastic smutty stories to get votes.

However, what bothers me the most about this lame story is the sign of racism. I mean lets be honest, racism exist. Yet, this is at another level.   What's worst is that she says this as an volunteer of the McCain campaign. Now... Do I think that this is a part of the paid or legitimate McCain Team strategy? Absolutely not. But, What I believe is this hurts Senator McCain's campaign and that annoyes me.

I have never thought the Senator McCain was any kind of intolerant person, far from it. However, I was not happy about his NOT voting for the Martin Luther King Holiday, but McCain as a Racist? No! Frankly, this woman is a nut and does not represent Senator McCain.

She makes this ridiculous story and then a notable and respected Journalist says the following:
        "Part of the appeal of, and the unspoken tension behind, Senator Obama's campaign is his transformational status as the first African-American to win a major party's presidential nomination. That does not mean that he has erased the mutual distrust between black and white Americans, and this incident could become a watershed event in the 11 days before the elections. If Ms. Todd's allegations are proven accurate. Some voters may revisit their support for Senator Obama, not because they are racist (with due respect to Rep. John Murtha), but because they suddenly feel they do not know enough about the democratic nominee." Fox News executive Vice President John Moody.

This is awesome.   In my opinion, John Moody is a jackass.   John Moody is a journalist? I mean in "John's fantasy land" a person not related to the Obama campaign does a violent act. Therefore you say people should think about their support of Obama... But in Real world where a Volunteer is actually a part of the McCain campaign, and creates a total false story and blames this on the black population.    Well, I guess that is ok and John Moody stands silent.   John Moody and Ms. Todd are total zealots.    John McCain deserves honest support not bigoted, EVP, Fox news support.
