And take a look at all of the threads about how much Sarah Palin's wardrobe cost, her daughter, McCain's age, etc, etc. Obama supporters have lost the right to be civil about this one!
Frankly, I hope they apprehend the guy, and if he has anything to do with the Obama campaign, I hope Ms. Todd sues for the rest of the campaign funds. Nobody deserves that!

B-A-R-A-C-K. I know the campaign has only been going on for 2 years, but soon you'll get it!

FYI, Pittsburgh has a very low crime rate compared to most "major" cities. This would have been big news without the political angle. That angle only enhances the whole "Bitter Pennsylvanians rely on their guns and Bibles" and "Pennsylvanians are all racists" remarks. Many, many people are terribly unhappy about those interpretations.

We know. You would have liked Obama but for those comments, right?
And Pittsburgh's crime rate seems to outpace the rest of the U.S. (

http://newpittsburghcourieronline.co...nce/Page1.html) because it's on the rise and the city is on pace to have their highest murder rate ever (

I keep coming back to who on earth would willingly allow their face to be disfigured like that? Cutters don't usually go for their faces. I can see the wife beater (yes, for some reason, lots of men wear those or other t-shirts in this weather - I think they're nuts), the area (which I didn't know last night), and speaking as a former crime victim, some inconsistencies, but not the cutting. Most people who've been mugged knows that there are times when you're just not sure what happened - and Ms. Todd isn't familiar with the area.
If it really happened, I hope the assailant is caught quickly. If not, I hope Ms. Todd gets the psychiatric help that she so obviously needs.

A crazy College Republican desperate for attention and wanting to help the campaign by making it more about race and less about issues? If Ms. Todd was so familiar with the area, why was she Twittering away instead of not being on the phone so she could be aware of her surroundings?
Shame on her for lying.
