A Fox News Prophesy on Ashley B. Todd
Moment of Truth
It had to happen.
Less than two weeks before we vote for a new president, a white woman says a black man attacked her, then scarred her face, and says there was a political motive for it.
Ashley Todd, a 20-year-old white volunteer for John McCain?s presidential campaign, says she was mugged at an ATM machine in Pittsburgh (my hometown) by a big black man. She further says he threw her down, then disfigured her by carving the letter ?B? into her face with a sharp implement when he saw that she supported McCain, not Barack Obama.
Part of the appeal of, and the unspoken tension behind, Senator Obama?s campaign is his transformational status as the first African-American to win a major party?s presidential nomination.
That does not mean that he has erased the mutual distrust between black and white Americans, and 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.
For Pittsburgh, a city that has done so much to shape American history over the centuries, another moment of truth is at hand.

And what on earth does this mean?
It had to happen.

It had to happen that a black man would attack white a woman for political reasons. Who is the racist douche bag?
I'm not understanding why it would have caused people to revisit their support for Obama if it had been true? How does a random psychopath carving a letter into a woman's face have anything to do with how much a voter knows about Obama?
I don't think MPC put her up to it, I just think they saw her as a golden opportunity and made her "attack" into a racially and politically charged issue before finding out the facts.
