Others have already mentioned the incident of a young Pennsylvania coed who claimed to have been attacked by a 200 lb black man who happened to be an Obama supporter. A backward 'B' was carved into her cheek and there seems to be what looks like a black eye.

She has recanted after 24 hours, a lie detecter test, 7 hours of police interrogations and a good night's sleep. She said she did it all on her own.

The fly in ointment according to reports on the MSNBC show Countdown is that the PA RNC chairman called 3 TV stations and several newspapers and gave them the original account of a poor white girl savagely carved up and sexually attacked PRIOR to the girl's interview by the Police!

Why would she go to her RNC boss first before going to the hospital or the police?



The president of Fox news (the guy in charge of national Republican talking points) has weighed in on this saying that if this story gets out of control the McCain Campaign is over , forever under the cloud of race baiting.
Drudge also began to run the original story and is now in limbo.

We should all feel sorry for the girl who now claims she has mental problems and acted entirely on her own...

...except she is a long time time Young Republican representative at her college who has devoted many weeks of her time to the McCain Palin campaign.

It is now out there. People who will relish the chance to speak fearfully of blacks emboldened by Barack, deflowering the white maidenhead of America now have a model victim.

It will be up to an investigative journalist to present evidence that the PA Republican chairman had a finger in this pie from the begining.

I could not find the Oct. Surprise thread which would have suited this observation nicely.
