The Race Baiting Ugliness of Ashley Todd, Republicans, Politico, and John McCain

You won't believe this one, if you haven't heard about it yet.

Last night, this shame of an individual in this photo, College Republican Ashley Todd, said that she was attacked and badly beaten by a black man at an ATM last night in Pittsburgh. To add insult to injury, Todd than said that after the flogging, the individual wrote a "B" on her face, indicating his support for Barack Obama.

"You're a supporter of Senator McCain, well, I change that," she said he told her.

Only that he was about as real as her story. Which wasn't real.

Except the fact that she got beaten. By herself.

The shame of this race baiting incident not only lies with her, Murdoch's Fixed Propaganda News, Mark Dr...Fudge, and the idiots at Politico.com led by Jonathan Martin's cheerleading of stupidity and dishonesty for Republicans. But it also lies (if ever the verb could be best used in multiple ways like never before) primarily at the hands of the worst campaign in American history.

Seriously, how low can this campaign continue to go? It is so embarrassing at this moment, and never in the history of this country has there ever been a more desperate and pathetic group of individuals like this staff of out of control horrible individuals led by the Arizona Senator vying for the highest position in the land.

They pushed this categorical, disgraceful hoax of a story, and no matter how some have tried to wipe away the evidence for their lead role in this, it is not going to be able to cover McPathetic's sorry self.

John Verrilli, the news director for KDKA in Pittsburgh, told TPM Election Central that McCain's Pennsylvania campaign communications director gave one of his reporters a detailed version of the attack that included a claim that the alleged attacker said, "You're with the McCain campaign? I'm going to teach you a lesson."

Verrilli also told TPM that the McCain spokesperson had claimed that the "B" stood for Barack.

And here's what they ran with, letting the McFool's campaign tell their lies.

Rick Sanchez tries his best to literally lessen what McCronie and his stooges did, but he fails.

Will this end the election today because of this, or tomorrow?

It should.

But as I have documented a number of times before, this election should have been over a long, long time ago. And sadly, it is still going on.
