 [/span][span class="lingo_region"]PITTSBURGH (AP) - Pittsburgh police say a McCain campaign volunteer who said she was held down by a black man who cut the letter "B" in her face has changed her story.  Police spokeswoman Diane Richard says investigators gave the 20-year-old woman a lie-detector test and are "looking at some inconsistencies" in her story. [/p] 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. [/p] Police say bank surveillance footage doesn't show her at an ATM where she says she was attacked. [/p] 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. [/p] No arrests have been made. [/p][/span]  
The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music.

P.C.

She now says she only discovered the wound later.

  Yes.....noticing a [FONT size=7]B[/FONT] carved on your cheek sometimes takes a little time.

[h2]Police: Campaign Volunteer Made Up Attack Story[/h2]A Pittsburgh police commander told KDKA Investigator Marty Griffin that Ashley Todd confessed to making up the story & is facing charges                    [span class="cbstv_attribution" style="font-style: italic;"] PITTSBURGH (KDKA) ― [/span]

Police tell KDKA that a campaign volunteer has now 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.

Ashley Todd, 20, of Texas, initially told police that she was robbed at an ATM in Bloomfield and that the suspect became enraged and started beating her after seeing her GOP sticker on her car.

Police investigating the alleged attack, however, began to notice some inconsistencies in her story and administered a polygraph test.

Authorities, however, declined to release the results of that test.

Investigators did say that they received photos from the ATM machine and "the photographs were verified as not being the victim making the transaction."

This afternoon, a Pittsburgh police commander told KDKA Investigator Marty Griffin that Todd confessed to making up the story.

The commander added that Todd will face charges; but police have not commented on what those charges will be.  

Authorities are expected to release more details at a news conference this afternoon.

According to police, investigators working on the interview process detected several inconsistencies in Todd's story that differed from statements made in the original police report.

Pittsburgh Police Public Information Officer Diane Richard released a statement earlier today, saying: "Because of the inconsistencies in her statements, Ms. Todd was asked to submit to a polygraph examination which she agreed to do."

No photos of Todd are being released by Pittsburgh Police at this time.  
The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music.

Yet one question remains. A question too deep and too heavy for the media to dare to address...

 oh of course they won't. They don't want to be labelled 'liberal'. Human Rights, Civil Rights, Women Rights, Voting Rights, anything with a 'Rights' next to it is considered something evil and 'liberal' or the buzz word of the day is 'socialism'.
 
 Media or MSM won't touch anything that's controversial due to the choke hold the ultra right has on the media.
 
 Nobody is talking about Focus on the Family inciting hatred. McCain supporters calling for the death of Democrats isn't front page news, people being attacked in the Midwest because of Obama signs isn't news, the growing anger in the rural and exurb white community isn't news. But, Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, Joe the Plummer is.

 [/p] Here's the letter if you want to read it:[/p] [a href="http://focusfamaction.edgeboss.net/download/focusfamaction/pdfs/10-22-08_2012letter.pdf"]http://focusfamaction.edgeboss.net/download/focusfamaction/pdfs/10-22-08_2012letter.pdf[/a]
 [/p] Basically its: Gay Marriage becomes legal after the 'orginalists' resign from the Supreme Court and Obama putting in 'liberal' judges from 4-4 tie with a moderate deciding as we have now. To a 6-3 liberal court. And apparently since we 'far left' people get full control of the Supreme Court we apparently win the culture war and its the apopcalypse for the 'moral defenders' and say we leftists will have control of the court for the next 30 years.
 [/p] Boy Scouts disband after Supreme Court rules Boy Scouts can have gay leaders and can sleep in the same tent with 'young boys'.
 [/p] 2010- Gay marriage becomes constitutional, thus leader to the collapse of humanity. Supreme Court says those anti-gay laws passed by states are un-constitutional.
 [/p] Elementary Schools are now taught complusoriary gender education in first grade including 'the goodness of homosexuality'. Christian parents get outraged and the Supreme Court rules that to be against the gender education is a hate crime.  And Christian private schools shut down because the gender specific laws apply to the private schools.
 [/p] No more evangelical or Roman Catholic adoption agencies because of their refusal to place kids with gay couples. 2011, Supreme Court rules that if you refuse to do so, you will lose your licence.
 [/p] Business and Governments have to provide equal benefits for same sex couples in order to stop "systematic discrimination"[/p] Public Broadcating: Bible can't be preached over the airwaves due to its offensive doctrines against homosexuality. Focus on the Family gives examples of the same laws in Canada and Sweden.
 [/p] Doctors who refuse to give artifical insemination to lesbian couples now face the loss of their practise and licence. Lawyers who refuse to handle same sex adoption cases will lose their licence.
 [/p] Social Workers and councillors can no longer discriminate against gays.
 [/p] Churches must allow same sex couples to get married in their place of worship or lose their tax exempt status.[/p] Churches can't reject homosexual church workers because they happen to be gay or they lose their tax exemption and are fined for discrimination.[/p] Gays in the military. First week Obama's in office he allows gays in the military. Anti-gay troops have to take sensitivity training. Gays get 'we're sorry we discriminated against you' bonuses for signing up. Any Army Chaplin who disagrees with having gays around is discharged.
 [/p] High Schools no longer can have 'see you at the pole day' to pray. No more religious clubs and the bible is banned.
 [/p] Schools can no longer rent out their spaces to churches, Supreme Court. Saying it was unconstitutional to allow a religious use of public governmental property.
 [/p] Campus Ministeries disappear.
 [/p] Pledge of Alliegance. The "under God" is overturned and the pledge goes back to its original verse that didn't have the 'under God'.
 [/p] Abortion[/p] Obama signs the 'Freedom of Choice Act' overturning state laws restricting abortion. No longer the need for parental consent for minors, no waiting period, no restrictions on late terms. Medicad now can fund abortions. Nurses can no longer object to taking part in an abortion. If they refuse, they lose their jobs. Doctors who deny someone an abortion lose their job and licence.
 [/p] FCC[/p] Supreme Court in 2011 rules that FCC censorship restrictions are unconstitutioinal and tv is inundated with programs showing explict sexual acts. Pornography is ruled to have some artistic value and the US starts having porn mags in gas stations, stores, in newspapers etc. like they do in Europe.
 [/p] Guns[/p] Supreme Court rules people in cities can no longer carry guns and people caught having one is fined and imprisoned.
 [/p] Education[/p] Supreme Court rules home schooling is illegal as it violated state education requirements. Except where the program had state accrediation, agreed to use state approved textbooks, and teach their children that homosexuality was not wrong, or that Jesus is not the only way to God. Parents found violating this law lose their children from their home. Families who disobey move to New Zealand and Australia where homeschooling is prevelant.
 [/p] Iraq[/p] Obama leaves and Iraq becomes under the control of Al Queda operatives and the country becomes run by the Taliban. (ridiculous idea shows FOTF lack of Historical background of Iraq, they've obviously been home schooled) Anyway they go on to say 100s of thousands are put to death in Iraq.
 [/p] Terrorist attacks: Since Obama overturns wire tapping.. Since 2009 there have been 2 terrorist attacks in two different cities in the US killing hundreds. Panic ensues, no one feels safe anywhere in the country.
 [/p] Russia[/p] Russia invades Ukraine, Poland, Czech Republic, Estonia and Latvia, Hungary and Bulgaria. Recapturing its Soviet Satelites.
 [/p] Latin America[/p] Obama opens up trade with the communist regimes of Cuba, Venezula, and Bolivia. Several other South American countries seem ready to embrace a communist revolution by Hugo Chavez.
 [/p] Israel
 [/p] 2010 Iran launches a nuclear bomb that explodes over Tel-Aviv. They demand that Israel succeed large tracts of territory to the Palestinanians. Israel agrees.Israel is reduced to nothing can't defend itself.  
 [/p] Healthcare[/p] Has been nationalized and free for everyone patterned off of the UK and Canada. Now that it is free everyone wants more of it. Waiting lists for cancers are 3 years. People over 80 are not allowed to have health care and are banned from hospitals and its their duty to just go home and die. [/p] Taxes[/p] Top 50% pay 97% of the US taxes, we're in a prolonged recession. Since 40% of the country doesn't pay taxes. Its reduced to a giant welfare cheque as Obama told Joe the Plumber in 'spreading the wealth around'.Budget defecit increases.  
 [/p] Unions- The country becomes completely unionized after Obama makes it easy to organize.
 [/p] Gas- its 7.00 a gallon.[/p] Talk Radio[/p] Fairness Doctrine is passed making it manditory that all talk radio stations must adhere to alternative opinions on their radio stations and not just conservative talk. For every James Dobson, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Michael Reagan, Michael Savage. The radio station must have a 'liberal watch dog program' to rebuttle everything that the previous show talked about. Conservative listerners give up and Conservative radio dies in 2010.
 [/p] Christian publishers- shut down do to precieved hate mongering against the gays.
 [/p] Prosectution of the Bush administration[/p] Everyone is tried for crimes and put in jail[/p] ------------
Seems like a fair and justice society.
