Understand this well, the Republicans, the masters of deceit and lies, evil members pleasing the Prince of Darkness, will stoop to any level,any level to try and stop Barack Obama. But it will not work. Here is the latest:
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. According to Verrilli, the spokesperson also told KDKA that Sarah Palin had called the victim of the alleged attack, who has since admitted the story was a hoax.
The KDKA reporter had called McCain's campaign office for details after seeing the story -- sans details -- teased on Drudge.
The McCain spokesperson's claims -- which came in the midst of extraordinary and heated conversations late yesterday between the McCain campaign, local TV stations, and the Obama camp, as the early version of the story rocketed around the political world -- is significant because it reveals a McCain official pushing a version of the story that was far more explosive than the available or confirmed facts permitted at the time.
So McCain's staffer Mr. Feldman acted without regard for the truth and was more reckless than uber hack Matt Drudge. He'll have to make Worst Person in the World for this one. That of course should be the least of his problems, because he really should be charged with a crime for such a racially-motivated allegations.

Ashley Todd, the 20-year old who said she was robbed and then had the letter “B” carved into her face by the robber after he became enraged at seeing her McCain bumper sticker, has admitted to making the story up according to police.
Police administered a polygraph test to Todd earlier today after noting inconsistencies in her story. They have not released the results of that test, but say that Todd admitted to the hoax separate from the test.
She is expected to be charged with filing a false police report. I hope it carries a nice, long sentence.

Fri, Oct 24, 2008
Ashley Todd, the 20-year old College Republican who says she was robbed at a Pittsburgh ATM and slashed in the face in retaliation for her support of Presidential candidate John McCain has changed her story according to police.
The student, Ashley Todd, of College Station, Texas, initially said a black man robbed her at knifepoint Wednesday night and then cut her cheek after seeing a McCain sticker on her car.
Police say bank surveillance footage doesn’t show her at an ATM where she says she was attacked.
Todd, who is white, now says she was knocked unconscious and doesn’t remember being cut. She now says she only discovered the wound later.
If the police are accurate, the veracity of this story is not looking good.
UPDATE: Hoax.
