I believe that there was some mention on this thread of a McCain volunteer in Pittsburgh, PA who filed a police report that she was robbed by a Black man who carved a letter "B" on her face (that letter supposedly standing for "Barack"}.

I'm posting the information for the record, that the woman has recanted her statement. For some reason, she made it all up.

See this online report from Pittsburgh's tv station http://kdka.com/ :

Police: Campaign Volunteer Lied, Injured Self
"Police say a campaign volunteer confessed to making up a story that a mugger attacked her and cut the letter B in her face after seeing her McCain bumper sticker. At a news conference this afternoon, offiicals said they believe the woman's injuries were self-inflicted. Ashley Todd, 20, is now facing charges for filing a false report to police."

Here's one quote included in that diary from Michelle Malkin of Fox News before that McCain volunteer recanted her story:

"This incident could become a watershed event in the 11 days before the election. If Ms. Todd's allegations are proven accurate, some voters may revisit their support for Senator Obama, not because they are racists (with due respect to Rep. John Murtha), but because they suddenly feel they do not know enough about the Democratic nominee. If the incident turns out to be a hoax, Senator McCain's quest for the presidency is over, forever linked to race-baiting".

See this report from another Pittsburgh television station about Representative John Murtha's recent comment {and then his rescinding that comment} that, in his opinion, a lot of White people in Western Pennsylvania are racist.

As an aside, the woman who made up that horrible story said that it happened in a majority White working class neighborhood that is less than 5 minutes by car from my majority Black working class neighborhood.
