Can this election end now? Please?

Woman attacked in Pittsburgh over McCain sticker on car.

This follows a rash of attacks against property and ACORN canvassers by McCain supporters. What's next, angry Ralph Nader supporters going postal in a mall?

*wince*


UPDATE: the "victim" had admitted that she faked the attack. This is after it made all the right-wing shows, and got her sympathy calls from both McCain and Palin, both of whom must be pretty angry at being conned this way.

She is now facing charges of filing a false police report, and the judge must be either very angry or worried she'll get a bunch of political money, because her bail is set at 50K. She has confessed to making up the story and now claims she has a mental health history and found the mark on her face with no memory of putting it there, although she also says she must have because it appeared when she was driving around alone.

I think among other things, the police were annoyed that she thought they'd be that stupid. The ATM surveillance camera shows she was not at the machine the assault supposedly had occurred at.

I suggest editing your entry to mention it turned out to be a hoax, although I expect most people who care have learned about it by now.
