So maybe you have heard of this, but if you haven't, basically a McCain volunteer had claimed a black man attacked her at an ATM and carved a B into her face (B for Obama). The B was backwards, she kept changing her story, there was no video surveillance of the attack, and some other inaccuracies led her to confess that she made it all up.

Now, without getting into her motives, if the McCain campaign had anything to do with it, of her obvious mental problems (I think they said she has a history of mental illness), I just want to talk about ONE THING.

Did you see her black eye? It looks so fake to me! It isn't even swollen at all. And I am wondering why no one is pointing it out in the news articles. Maybe I don't know anything about black eyes, but then I remembered when Lauren posted that fake attack Shannon had and the pic of her with a "black eye". Remember that!? That was way more realistic looking! I just thought that was so funny and I was wondering if Shan would post the pic again. And don't say I'm not full of surprises b/c I am linking to the Fox News story about the hoax below b/c it has a great photo.

WOW!!! That is such a horrible thing to do! Why can't there be fair game in elections/politics?!?!?

I'm a bit surprised Fox covered the story but that's all I'll say on that.

You know what is more surprising? Someone at Fox news said before it was proven a hoax, that if it was indeed a hoax McCain would be finished. I read that somewhere else though b/c I am afraid to browse through Fox News articles, so who knows if that is accurate What do conservatives feel is the equivalent of Fox news for liberals? NPR? LOL

It looks fake though, doesn't it? I was reading somewhere that people were speculating that she had a friend give her the black eye. But I say, the reason she refused medical treatment was b/c her black eye would have washed off Post the pic Shannon!!

WOW That girl is an IDIOT. I guess you have idiots supporting and campaigning for every party though, don't ya? She is EXTRA special... if you want to fake a black eye... this is how you do it!

(although looking now this doesn't even look THAT realistic... )


here's Ben's...

I'd say just about every other media outlet.

Yeah she had to draw that on herself... if she had someone help her, they should have gotten the B on straight... she must've done that in a mirror. IDIOT!

LMAO Shannon! I like yours better though since it has a hematoma. Who knows, maybe she did have someone else slug her. Still looks fake to me though!

And you are right, dumb people come from all walks of life, republican or democrat. And boy is she dumb--she didn't realize she had to reverse the B

I am glad I'm not the only one that finds this funny. I feel like I should be all, "poor girl with mental problems", or be worried since it was obviously a ploy of race baiting, but really this is just dumb. Too bad McCain and Palin already called her personally. Next time I think they will give it a few days seeing as how the police said they were investigating it from the get go! The world is full of wacked out people.

Shannon, yours does look a lot more realistic!!

I don't even know if I find it funny but it was a stupid thing to do and I'm skeptical about the mental illness thing. I think people just use that as an excuse sometimes.

I hadn't heard of this.

The girl obviously did it for attention. How stupid.

Michelle, it says the reps from the local Obama headquarters called and wished her well too I'm sure both parties did so to cover their butts in case it had been true.

The reason its backwards is she did it in the mirror.

LOL. I read that Obama released a statement, but that McCain and Palin called her and her family personally. Kinda funny since the main reason any of them did it was to cover their butt or exploit the situation. Can you tell I am not a fan of most politicians?

Just catching up now!----What an idiot! HAHAHAHAHAHA
