Why that McCain volunteer’s “mutilation” story smells awfully weird; Update: Police to administer polygraph; conflicting evidence at scene; Update: Hoaxer confesses
Scroll down for updates…”Police planned to administer a polygraph test to Ashley Todd, 20, because her statements about the attack conflict with evidence from the Citizens Bank ATM where she claims the incident occurred, police said”…and more below on following her MySpace, Twitter, and Facebook trails…10/24…more fishiness…10/24 3:26pm Eastern….HOAXER CONFESSES
Throughout my career, I’ve covered dozens of fake hate crimes — campus hate crime hoaxes, Muslim hate crime hoaxes, fake noose hangings, etc., etc., etc. Most were perpetrated by liberals, but there have been some shameful ones on our side of the aisle as well.
I’ve reported on the great lengths that warped attention-seekers have gone to in perpetrating fake hate crimes, including beating themselves up, carving swastikas on their dorm room doors and walls, locking themselves in bathroom stalls, and burning down their own houses.
Which is why I’m not jumping up and down with outrage over Drudge-promoted story of a McCain volunteer claiming to have been attacked by a black man whom she accused of carving a “B” in her face after spotting her McCain bumper sticker.
She refused medical treatment after reporting the incident to police. Why on earth would she do that?
Look at her face (photo via Hot Air):
What’s wrong with the “B?”
I share my reader Kathy’s suspicions on this. She writes:
Notice how the “B” is backwards on the right cheek……if you were looking in a mirror and put it on your own face…it would appear backwards and would probably be on your own right cheek (due to most folks are right handed)……she put it on her own face but forgot it would show up backwards.
She may have been robbed and beaten but I think she added the “B”….
Take a close look at the picture.
Maaaaybe the alleged robber straddled her upside-down while carving it into her face.
Maybe.
But I’ve got my doubts.
(Update: And yes, as many readers have pointed out, it’s also the neatness and superficiality of that “B” that also raises red flags. See my police officer reader’s e-mail below.)
The woman has been identified as GOP volunteer Ashley Todd of Texas. Her Twitter page is here and I find it, well, odd.
This seems to me to have shades of Paul Mirecki (note that there was a photo in that case, too), Sarah Marshak, and Tawana Brawley all over it.
If I’m wrong, I’ll apologize. If I’m right, will this woman?
It needs to be said — and since it is not said often enough by those on the other side of the political aisle, I’ll say it again:
We have enough low-lifes and thugs in the world running loose and causing campaign chaos and fomenting hatred without having to make them up. I’ve been blowing the whistle on the real, left-wing rage not on the front page and in-your-face tactics throughout the election season.
Hate crimes hoaxes — by anyone, of any political persuasion, and of any color — diminish us all.
Either way, I hope that Todd gets the help she needs, that the whole truth comes out, and that justice is served on the perpetrator.
Whoever he or she may be.
***
And from a reader who is a police officer:
“I’m a cop – 8th year now – and this McCain supporter attack just didn’t pass the “smell test” as soon as I read about it.
At this point, I’ll guess the shiner was inflicted either by a friend willingly as part of this hoax or a boyfriend in a domestic dispute.
The “B” is far to[o] shallow and clean to be taken seriously. Reminds me of the stab wounds that a “hero” would get when fighting off a phantom attacker – far to[o] superficial to have been done in what is a fairly violent encounter.
Either way, I’m voting McCain
***
Update 1am Eastern: Via Pittsburgh Tribune-Review…
A knife-wielding man robbed a McCain-Palin campaign volunteer and etched a “B” into her face after he saw a McCain bumper sticker on her car, the woman told Pittsburgh police.
Police planned to administer a polygraph test to Ashley Todd, 20, because her statements about the attack conflict with evidence from the Citizens Bank ATM where she claims the incident occurred, police said.
FYI: Todd’s MySpace page has been turned private, but cached links are here.
Her Facebook profile has been deleted, but the cached front page is here.
Update 9:30am Eastern 10/24: She told police the assailant sat on her chest and pinned her hands down with his knees.
So much for all those thinking the attacker was upside-down with her head between his knees.
Update 3:26pm Eastern: I was right.

So, with little evidence other than a backwards B you’re calling this woman a liar? Have you even been the Pittsburgh?
I wonder if the cop is lying too.
“According to the police report, the officer confirmed that he “observed the wound on the right side of [her] face.”
No.
With 16 years’ worth of experience covering fake hate crimes, I’m voicing my doubts.
You forgot to ask what she was wearing and what she was doing out so late.
I’m not doubting that the wound is there. I’m raising questions about who put it there.
It is on the right side of her face. Let’s not get all Biden on this.
Maybe there is a tape from the ATM to help shed some light. I understand the skepticism.
With all due respect Michelle Pittsburgh is a tough area. I do applaud you for going about this with caution but I don’t see the point in her fabricating the story consider she looks obviously beaten.
I’ve already blogged about it but will follow your lead in following up if what you say is true.
You sound like all the libs upset when I questioned the Columbia noose professor’s story.
So Michelle, are we to assume the mugger had great penmanship as well?
Maybe the perp is dyslexic.
Flip the image.
Ed has updates on HA that apparently confirm her story… she DID go to the Medical Center and had an MRI and such…. hopefully all will be known soon.
Does anyone remember this?
I don’t think anyone is talking about the presence of the wound. It’s obvious in the picture.
I would say that it’s not really “carved” as some would have it. My time as a paramedic has given me the experience to know that if it was “carved” in that area of the face, it would be bleeding severely, and the skin would be pulling the wound ever more open. Facial cuts across the upper cheek are very hard to close without stitches.
And, in this Country, we still have the presumption of innocence and mandate that the injured prove the harm. At least, until Sharia is implemented here.
My fear, if this is true, is that we are in for much, much more of this, if BHO takes office. I fear that many will take the election as a sign to promote violence. I am now flipped off daily on my commute in Washington, DC, and the only thing I have on my car is a bumper sticker that says “Government is not the answer”
Oh, and God help us
ifwhen BHO loses. It will make the ’68 riots look like a parade. I’m already hearing wind of that in the area.As a former police officer, I worked a number of false claims, so it’s ALWAYS worth considering that when a case seems odd.
Doesn’t mean it’s false or true, but it bears further investigation.
One possible explanation for the way the B is, is if the victim were laying down face towards the suspect. That way he bends down with just her head under him, not with him straddled over.
Then he does the cut and leaves. Sometimes, so charged over the power the loser has over his victim, he will administer some parting shots, but hanging around to carve face?
Until we know all the facts, reasonable suspicion is called for.
Michelle, I have to agree, it is a bit fishy.
Speaking of fishy, I would really like your take on the Berg lawsuit, Obama’s sudden trip to Hawaii, and the African Press interview with Michelle O… have you heard anything that we haven’t, etc.?
I actually wondered the same thing as Michelle obviously did. It’s all just a little too convenient. And for someone to carve that “B” backwards, or upside down they would have to be at the top of her head and not sitting on her torso. And why, after getting money from her would he stop to pay attention to a bumper sticker on what may or may not have been her car? Guys like that want their money and then they’re out of there. They aren’t all that observant.
I sound like a “lib”
because I have been railing against the republican candidate for monthsdon’t want to call this woman a liar without a shred of evidence?Right, that woman in New York that was beaten up for carrying a McCain sign the other day… I suspect she hit herself with the sign….
Get In Their Face! -Barack Obama
He was beating on her and kicking her, which makes it sound like she was on the floor. He would’ve been standing over her in that case, which would explain the backwards B.
if the robber knocked her down, and she’s on her back facing up, and he is standing over her, his feet at her head,looking down, the “b” is right to him.
Good lord people, at least believe until proven false. give the girl the benefit of the doubt.
If this young woman was going to fake an initial, why not an “O” ? Seems easier to me.
I’m hoping none of us will be behaving like decapitated chickens over this incident. I don’t know anything about this, one way or the other, and until there is conclusive proof, I’m reserving judgment.
I’m with Michelle on this one – I have also seen too many things that are not as they seem that I am suspicious this close to the election.
“Trust but verify” – Ronald Reagan
I have to agree with Michelle, something just isn’t passing the smell test for me here, even with the pics. I’m waiting until we get something concrete from the police investigation.
Maybe it’s that RIGHTEOUS wind BO was talking about?
Michelle:
Look at the photo upside down!!
I said the exact same thing over on Hot Air.
Great minds think alike!
Good question. And it would’ve been more directly linked to “Obama”, seeing as it’s his identifying symbol.
Didn’t the initial robbery happen at an ATM?…if so, shouldn’t there be some kind of surveillance in place?
I would like to see the ATM video, or at least a report on what it shows, we know it exist.
Left handed dyslextic? Who knows. All I know is this campaign road has been paved with people thrown under the bus. Be glad when it’s over.
Maybe off topic, but it has always fascinated me. We look in mirrors to check our appearance, but what we see is not how everyone else sees us. (unless you use two mirrors.)
Geez, Michelle didn’t call her a liar! She simply wants more confirmation before she goes forth with the story.
Trust but verify and all that… If I find out it’s (the B) beyond a shadow of a doubt true, I will be extremely outraged. I’m outraged the girl was robbed and beaten. I’m just hanging on here a bit before I get bent out of shape over the B.
Thugs who mug people on the streets aren’t the type to involve themselves into politics, let alone know who John McCain is. Watch an episode of “Jay Walking” on the Tonight show and you’ll understand. Why would the mugger stick around to carve her face when he could be spotted by a witness or within reach of a cop? Most street thugs cannot spell or read. I personally do not believe her story. What did he cut her face with? Doesn’t look like a knife or any object a mugger would carry. He was a black man wearing all black wardrobe? No unique insignias on any clothing? Too generic of a description.
I’m going out on a limb to say the “B” was for b*tch, not Barack.
The backwards “B” is suspicious.
I’m anxious to see the video from the ATM.
A dyslexic perp. w/ serious anger issues toward:
McCain
Palin
women
ATMs
cars w/ GOP political stickers
Maybe he thought it was $06.
(I know, bad joke about dyslexia.)

Ed also makes the point that the attacker could have had this young lady on the ground, when said B was etched. Remember it is less then 24 hours since this crime was commited, let the police do their investigation. If it was a hoax it will come out, then the young lady must be held accountable.
Michelle, while I understand your doubt and skepticism, I’m just gonna wait and see what the ATM camera stills reveal.
This is a very emotionally driven election but I wouldn’t be surprised if either a)this story is for real or b) this story is bogus. There is a lot of vandalism on both sides so hard core supporters feel driven to do things more sane-thinking supporters wouldn’t do.
You should come to my area of SE VA where there is nothing but crime and complacency (especially among the black community). I can’t even freaking put out a McCain/Palin sign because I fear that the house my husband and I are currently renting will be vandalized by the neighborhood “bullies.”
Hell, I’m even scared about what’s gonna happen when the local delinquents and their lackadaisical parents don’t get their “candy tribute” this year.
And, yes, I don’t get the upside down B either. Good point. Let’s see what happens.
There have been many stories where people have faked an attack. Remember Susan Smith? She said a man attacked her and stole her car with her children. When in fact, she drowned them.
And don’t forget Randi Rhodes. While it wasn’t fake, it wasn’t an attack. She’s just clumsy.
In the women’s defense, she could have been mugged and beaten and the “B” cut into her, as her assailant stood over her head, facing toward her feet. Since that is possible, I will give her the benefit of the doubt.
However, knowing the success of public schools, maybe that’s the way her attacker actually spells a “B.”
What does Tawana Brawley have to say about it?
Any news on the surveillance tape concerning the fired Professor Madonna Constantine and her noose….
How about this…everyone stop speculating and calm down.
They are looking at the surveillance, to see if they can catch a glimpse of the guy. I think I read that the crime was out of the view of the camera. That’s not too out of the realm of possibility since it’s a widely known fact that ATMs have cameras.
This lady was attacked in NY (see above link #18). It great to see these unhinged liberals aren’t all talk.
sarc off
On a serious note, I do feel sorry for those of you who cannot show your support for fear of retribution or worse.
Michelle’s doing her best Noonan impersonation… Why those crazy righties.
Great job her MM. Let’s see the truth come out. I’ll never compare you to Sean Hannity again. Gawd I hate him so much. Things are geting weird and ugly. I can’t wait till this election is over.
You beat me to this one.
I, too, am suspicious, and disappointed by the repub candidates comments. BO’s and Bidens seemms more appropriate.
And that will be the last time you ever hear me say anything those 2 guys said is appropriate!
Would you really need to look in the mirror to put a “B” on your face? I dunno. The “B” doesn’t look all that “backwards” to me anyway. She could have been moving or her cheekbones could have contributed to the “bend” of the “B” on the one side and not the other.
I have no opinion one way or the other on whether she is telling the truth. Let the facts come in and then decide. One thing you can be sure of, is that the media will jump all over this if there’s any chance she faked it. Unlike, say, a black college profession who almost certainly hung a noose outside her own door . . .
I’m willing to wait for the police investigation to weigh in on this.
But the question of refusing medical treatment may be something as simple as a 20 year old who doesn’t have insurance – or was tired and scared and just wanted to go home.
Though there could very likely be a simple explanation for the “backwards B”, I think Michelle would be less honest if she didn’t point out when something is a little off – that’s what makes her a professional and not a hack.
We’ll see how it all shakes out.
Oops, that should be “less than honest” in my comment above.
Sean is a GREAT American!
It’s not unreasonable to wonder…
Which is more likely, he held her down by her head while her body was loose and feet kicking, or she did it in a mirror? Who knows yet? Michelle’s not calling her a liar, just voicing a suspicion. Call me cynical but guess which explanation came to mind when I saw the picture? Left-handed dyslexic?
Based on almost two decades as an LEO I am VERY doubtful this is legitimate. Unless she was knocked out, any normal person would have struggled as someone attempted to carve a letter in their face. Imagine how hard it would be to make a B that symmetrical when she is trying to fight him off and, as would be a natural instinct, moving her head back and forth to try to avoid the blade.
Not to mention the thing is backwards. Over 90% of people are right handed so the mark would be on the OTHER side of her face to begin with. And looks suspiciously like a mark a finger nail scratch might leave, not a knife.
http://www.americanarmed.blogspot.com
Nope, this one stinks to high heaven.
At first I thought, fake,too.
This would was not carved by the point of a knife. If she were lying down, restrained by an arm and knees of attacker, then it is possible. Don’t know if the ‘B’ meant, however.
Her black eyes looks real. She also looks bruised on the right side of her head. The opposite cheek (of the backwards ‘B’) appears to have bruising and a red spot that could have been the start of a new wound.
I questioned why she would not go to the ER myself. It does seem weird.
watershed complains about Sarah Palin’s wardrobe in 4… 3… 2…
Thanks for remaining lucid about this, Michelle. We need to learn more.
FilmLadd (7:01 pm): Have you read Ed Morrissey’s analysis about Berg’s claims?
I remember a certain looser who drew a swastika backwards on his face in an airport bathroom… I thought at first that the photo was floped, but it don’t look too good.
Then again if the victim was assaulted from behind, well…
let us see.
Many violent-crime victims refuse medical attention, at least initially.
Geez people, talk about JUMPING to conclusions.
Innocent until proven guilty……not if you’re a Republican victim.
Barry can have this country, I’m through with it….
Lets see, beaten and knocked down to the ground and kicked a few times. Then the guy turns around, puts her back onto the ground and puts a knife to her head. He may have been above her head while she was on the ground, making the B upside down, not mirror imaged. The fact that there is a knife 1/2 inch from a person’s eye ball tends to make the person not want to squirm around an aweful lot I am guessing. But all of you unthinking neanderthals please continue to call the victim a liar and make yourselves feel all special.
As for why not to go get medical care, look at how superficial it all is. Hell, I would not have gone even if there was blood. I do not have health insurance, I know how much medical care costs, and I know that when the police ask you if you want medical care they plan on shipping you to the hospital in the back of a very costly ambulance. I got into an accident on my motorcycle once. The police FORCED me to go to the emergency room and I did not have insurance. My medical bills included. $5250 ambulance, $6600 MRI scan of my head, $750 for x-rays of my foot, my hand, chest and neck and other charges of around $250. Did the police pick up the tab on this? Sure did not. There are reasons not to want to go to the hospital. One is money, the other is some people, just like me, simply hate the hospital and do not trust doctors.
Something that jumped out at me was her Twitter log. Twittering that she was looking around for an ATM to avoid a service charge, that she was going to have a heck of a blog, being in the wrong part of Pittsburgh. I know people who use Twitter can be really into minutia but it seems too concise.
I think Michelle’s taking the the right approach here. There are too many things that don’t make sense. And God knows there are enough actual incidents of violence that have happened on both sides of the campaign that we don’t need any BS for dramatic effect.
Refused ER care?
Neosporin is much cheaper!
Huh? Hold three fingers out to indicate which way the E is pointing…
and slightly related:
from a wsj blog
OT: Michelle Malkin Story Request!
Can we get any reporting on the veracity and merits of this whole Berg lawsuit story, Obama’s citizenship, etc.?
Michelle Obama: “There is no law that will stop Obama from being president!”
Apparently there are now three lawsuits requesting BO to verify his citizenship, and the first he didn’t answer within the court-mandated 30 days.
Haven’t heard anything on sites like Malkins, only on obscure sites… or Michael Savage, who sometimes is alarmist and will say anything if it’s dramatic enough.
Is anyone else curious about whether this thing is reality or just ginned up?
Not your finest moment, Michelle.
Here’s another theory as to why the “B” might not look like the finest example of professional calligraphy: it was done by a MANIAC MORON.
Just a thought.
When I first saw this, I immediately thought this was a fake. She also said is was a black man, and McCain called her or her family. This is not going to go well in the main stream press if this is a fake.
Whatever the case, I’d rather apologize for believe the hoax than to call the woman a liar. Just my two cents.
Some argue that the turning down of medical treatment is normal, and for some it is.
I thought HINKY at the backwards
B…and the fact that this took place away from the security cameras….
My gut screams FAKE!!!!!
OT:
Maybe the lawyers here can comment, but he was born here so even if he’s adopted by someone in Indonesia and given Indonesian citizenship, he’s a minor, and I think when he reaches the age of majority he’d have to give up his US citizenship himself, otherwise, his birth is good enough. Assuming he was born – and having seen some Punahou grads, that could be a stretch…
Well BO did tell his followers to “get in their faces”.
On the other hand, either her attacker was dyslexic or she is not too bright for carving it backwards.
As I posted on Patterico minutes ago:
.
That’s understandable, Patrick. The third option is to wait until everything is checked out. No need to go either all-out Sharpton/Brawley or “lair, lair” on this right off the bat.
Until the next time you disagree with her.
As I posted on Patterico minutes ago:
My first impression when I saw the picture on the news tonight was…this is a fake. Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t. But that was my first thought. The upside down B is very strange.
LOL Good one, PK.
She’s not Irish, she’s an Ochre, black, Jewish, wannabe white Flogger. I think that’s the cumulative description so far if we leave the rude comments out…
I thought Obama supports were all about the “O”.
Maybe the “B” stands for…uh…well, you know. “The B word”
I have my doubts about this incident, mainly because of the minor nature of the ‘wound’. Not even deep enough to draw blood. No scabbing, no permanent scar, even her black eye is not swollen.
It’s simple prudence to wait before making a judgment on the “B” assault. Aside from the cut, the black eye(s) don’t look fresh to me.
And even if it is a true story, you can’t pin it directly on Osama Obama. Same is true of the assault on a McCain volunteer in NYC.
That said, he has plenty to answer for, and if this is a hoax, the media will focus on it and provide yet another “distraction” from the important work of exposing the true Obama.
apparently, she was away from the ATM and near her car, as she said the perpetrator did the attack because of the McCain sticker on her car.
Biden. And since it’s backwards and makes no sense, does anyone know where Joe was at the time?
TRY this with a “signficant other” : you lie face down.
The Other puts a knee to your back, or straddle-sits on you to hold you down.
He pulls you by the hair to bring your face off the ground, exposing your cheek.
He goes all Benihana on your cheek, using some sort of weapon with enough force to leave a “B” scratched into it.
A “B” oriented consistent with the viewpoint of the attacker.
Plausible.
But not enough to convince.
Does anyone know if carving a B has some gang significance?
Oh! Here’s another way the encounter could have played out, if only……
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijRZfJObqZk
Don’t miss it!!!!!
OK, I tried it with a significant other, and I have an AG carved in my cheek, but it’s sideways facing down…
The first time I saw this picture the first thought was it was done standing in front of a mirror because it was backwards.
As I kept looking at the ‘B’ I started to notice things that may indicate it could have been done by someone standing at the top of her head so she was basically upside down as it was written.
A couple of indications is the straight line of the ‘B’. Notice that it extends longer than the bottom loop of the ‘B’. It is a very common trait when printing a capital ‘B’ for the bottom line of the bottom loop to end above the end of the line.
Just to confirm this I had 4 members of my family write 5 printed capital ‘B’s on unlined paper. Out of 20 there were 12 where the bottom loop ended above the bottom of the line. 5 ended below the end of the line, and 3 ended exactly at the proper junction.
I also noticed where the two ‘B’ loops join that the bottom loop starts above the bottom line of the first loop. The start of the bottom loop is at an angle and starts above the line.
This makes me think this may be a legit incident, but, it could have been done by a friend as she laid on a bed or the floor.
The B is very neat. What did he do, say “hold very still while I carve a backward B on your face”.
Why do you hate Hannity so much? I know he is very conservative, but so are a lot of us on this thread. What did he do?
Two Words.
Tawana Brawley.
I’m going to trust Michelle on this as she has the experience, yet I’m seeing some pretty desperate, and nasty moves from the ObamaMessiah followers that go well beyond stealing signs in my fairly quiet neck of the woods.
I left out that the woman told me that she believes her address was aquired from someone following her home from her shopping trip due to her having a McCain sticker on her car, and because a strange vehicle pulled into her driveway and parked for a minute when she got home. That gave the stranger just enough time to write down her address.
Sound scary to you? I sure think it does!
Two and a half words:
Morton Downey Jr.
CO2 – I haven’t! Thank you for the input. Still a bit confused about the kenyan birth certificate etc… would really like a detailed debunking on the whole thing.
Being from Brooklyn I have seen some street crimes… that B just looks too gentle to me.
If Michelle’s daughter or son was attacked, I hope she’d be outraged at a blogger who would be so mean-spirited to post “Grain of salt” under attack story.
Michelle: I have always appreciated and respected your work. This is disgraceful.
Um, and being a professional makeup fx artist, that shiner doesn’t look like a real shiner. No swelling with that black color. Just doesn’t work for me.
I really used to like O’Reilly, but he has lost it..
He just said the reason Colin Powell endorsed Obama was because Obama asked for Powell’s advice and paid attention to him and the Republicans just ignored him.
HELLO, O’REILLY!!! Powell endorsed Obama because Obama is BLACK… even I know that, why don’t the talking heads?
“OK, I tried it with a significant other, and I have an AG carved in my cheek, but it’s sideways facing down…”
Try a B, and make the straight stroke roughly parallel with the length of your nose, as in the photo.
It’ll be a B to you, and a backwards B when you face your partner.
I’m not saying that’s what happened, just that it’s plausable.
It isn’t unreasonable to ask questions, but having been on the victim side of some beatings this is exactly the sort of humiliation criminals inflict on others, and sometimes they simply aren’t psycho enough to really carve up a chicks face bad. I myself have refused medical attention so that doesn’t shock me.
I have also run into plenty of cops who didn’t believe a truthful report of a real crime. Sorry but cops aren’t experts in finding out if something is or isn’t true and anyone who’s seen a real criminal investigation knows that some cops are good at it and some aren’t period.
The B does seem gentle, unless you had it scratched in you by some douche. I respect the asking of questions, but I think we need to be leery of the CSI effect here too. None of us know what a victim of a crime like this would look like or do so I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt.
As an aside, call me the Republican Al Sharpton but I’m willing to take her word on it based solely on the behavior of Obamunists these last few days. The fact that you and I wouldn’t doubt they would do this should speak volumes about where our country is headed, and I’ll gladly promote this story to smear the left just as they have smeared Michelle, me and everyone else on the right with false allegations time and again.. Then again I was on Pandagon as a gay trekkie civil war re-enactor so I’m ready to play the game by their rules if necessary.
Occam’s Razor Pricipal: “All other things being equal, the simplest solution is the best.”
Perhaps the picture was posted backwards. I’ve seen that online before.
“Carving” ‘BS’ would have been more appropriate.
I’m sure the cops weren’t fooled by makeup, but thanks for playing…….”What a fool says!”
