It's nice to know this went national. Take that, McBush supporters.

1. Forty seconds worth of time on national news.

Nothing to see here, move on!

2. IMO this story wasn't worth much more than 40 seconds.

I'm glad it hit network news though.

3. May carry more meaning for a black man

A black friend of mine once told me that on more than one occassion, he's been standing on a street corner waiting to cross the street when he hears the telltale "click" of car doors locking. This really stuck with me... Lots of people are afraid of black men whether they care to admit it or not.

4. So it was very important that the truth came out. On that I would agree. nt

6. I notice Williams left that part out

deliberately not reporting on the racism of the false police report. I preferred Rachel Maddow's reporting, she called it out for what it was.

14. I wish they ran this truthful story on a loop the way they did with the lie.

5. He probably wouldn't have mentioned it at all

if Keith hadn't.

Like any good foot soldier in the Bush crime family, Wiliams would have completely ignored the fact that it was the McCrazed camp that pushed the story to the MSM--and that McCrazed himself called her, but has yet to call her on her lies.

7. The whole thing was a hoax?

Here's me keeping my eye open for a 20-year-old female McCain campaign supporter from PA with a carved 'B' on her face.

Such a let down.

10. Failed to mention the McCain communications director pushed the story to reporters before police che

[bjobotts]

11. Also the comm director made up the narrative of the "B" and the bumper sticker crap

8. OWNED!

Just one word for John McCain: OWNED!

What a scary scenario should McCain/Palin ever be elected! Imagine what our country would be like. And I didn't think it could get any worse than Bush W. I hope that there is a tremendous turnout for Obama!

9. I have to give the GOP credit for this one. It is very creative.

Of all the lies, slanders, deceptions, and other non-truths we have heard from the Republicans over the decades, this one deserves special recognition for creativity.

[PatSeg]

12. Yeah, creativity peppered with the usual

massive dose of incompetence. I swear they are trying to lose.

13. HA HA HA !! Any IDIOT would have VERIFIED THE STORY before calling her. Here is how I knew it was

fake form the start (having some insight as a former cop.: 1) Muggers don't "draw or carve" things into people's faces ! They are after MONEY quick and fast. That would take time and risk detection. All they care about is money. Take it and GO before getting caught. The carving nonsense would have taken way too much time. 2) Her eye was not red. The black eye was obviously faked. 3) RARELY would politics be a motive for a crime like this. VERY VERY rarely. Usually politically motivated crimes are property crimes, NOT crimes against people: i.e. stealing signs, breaking windows at campaign headquarters, keying cars with the opponent's bumper sticker, etc. Things that are LOW RISK to the offender. 4) MOST IMPORTANTLY, She REFUSED medical treatment to avoid detection of her HOAX. This sent up a HUGE red flag. - This person KNEW EXACTLY what she was doing. She did it for ATTENTION. The political thing simply provided the OPPORTUNITY and also fueled her right wing and probably racist ideations as well. Yes, she may have emotional problems, but she knew EXACTLY what she was doing. It was carefully planned and calculated, so don't feel too sorry for her and don't BELIEVE her when she LIES about not knowing how the B got on her face, ETC. That is simply LYING to minimize her aforethought. Now, if McSAME has integrity, he will apologize for helping this person spread her lie before her story was properly vetted. THEY NEED TO TAKE A HIT FOR THIS !!
