Campaign Collaboration?
 

"John McCain's Pennsylvania communications director told reporters in the state an incendiary version of the hoax story about the attack on a McCain volunteer well before the facts of the case were known or established — and even told reporters outright that the "B" carved into the victim's cheek stood for "Barack," according to multiple sources familiar with the discussions."

Self-mutilation is a sign of Mental Illness.

Voting for John McCain is also a sign.

A backward letter 'B' on a Campaign Staffer.

Is this what they call the Silly Season?

Well, we should all care. If this was discussed with the press before anyone knew any of the details (particularly the B on the chick's cheek), it shows that the McCain camp knew all about it when they shouldn't have. And how could that have happened unless they were involved somehow?

Is this the October surprise or is there more in store for us before the election?

When this original story broke, I turned to my partner and said, "There's something wrong about this story. I think it's a hoax. I don't buy it!" No joke. I just didn't believe it.

Crazy b*tch needs to be locked up, but if McCain really is like Bush, she'll be his new campaign manager by this time next week.

The woman is sick. Let her be, other than perhaps encouraging her to get help.

Recognize that the Republican ideology puts the party ahead of people. Good Republicans are supposed to flagellate and mutilate themselves for the party. This one is just a bit too literal. Most lower-class Republicans settle for financial self-mutilation.

I predict the backward B on the cheek will be very popular this Halloween. Also, the phrase "spread the wealth", said in a properly lewd fashion.

It makes me very sad that something like this has happened, whether connected with a campaign's office or not. Someone pulling a stunt like this is goddamned atrocious, and shows that America's problem with people of different color is still alive and well.

@ L,

No, an "M" or a backward "J" and sweatshirt from one of those "lefty, looney, librul" colleges. Easy and cheap.

The thing that is really sad for the McCain campaign is that one of the first blogs to question this sotry was Michelle Malkin, who is incredibly right wing. If you can't even convince your own people that the story is real it doesn't sound like your campaign has much credibility with even it's own base.

Congratulations John Mccain. You will end your carreer in a few years, not being known for your past in viet-nam, or your years in the Senate, but for running one of the most poorly organized, substanceless, dihonest, and now race baiting campaigns in history. Any claim you had to be a man of honor or integrity is now gone. You spent 30 years building your reputation and you've managed to wreck it in 6 months. Congratulations.
