#1 Voter intimidation Donk style. The Klan never really left its home, just shifted their hatred from blacks to Trunks.

#4 This is just SAD! I mean really what happend to our freedom of speech in this country? I think that the illuminati media has to shoulder some of the blame since they constantly put out stories about how McCain suporters are all racists. I don't really hear alot of stories about McCain supporters attacking Obama supporters homes or signs. Truth is in the actions, not just words or speeches.

#6 The person in Pittsburgh needs to understand, concealed handguns are far more useful than a police report, Drudge Report - the only report they should have filed, was from the barrel of their firearm. Picked up the shell casings(if foolish enough not to wipe before using their lula), went home, had a beer, smoked a victory cigar, slept like a baby.

#7 Time to start shooting back. I can hardly wait for the open season on the Left. These folks have earned some serious payback.

#8 Large, part of me says that statement is out of bounds but then another part tells me they will have earned all of it.

#9 See the photo on Drudge.

Sick.

And we can expect more.

Cuz' THE MAN is runnin' for office.

A lot of people will think THE MAN supports their rapper, violent, drug-infested, "you're my bitch, whitey" lifestyle, and they will feel free to do this stuff.

"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 the womans car, Pittsburgh police said.

Ashley Todd, 20, of College Station, Texas, was using an ATM at Liberty Avenue and Pearl Street in Bloomfield just before 9 p.m. Wednesday when a man approached her, put a knife to her throat and demanded $60, police said.

Todd handed the man $60 she had in her pocket and stepped away from him, investigators said. The man then noticed the bumper sticker on the woman's car, which was parked in front of the ATM. The man became very angry, made comments to Todd about John McCain and punched her in the back of the head, knocking her to the ground, police said.

"He continued to kick and punch her repeatedly and said he would teach her a lesson for supporting John McCain," said police Chief Nate Harper.

The man then carved the "B" into Todd's right cheek.

Todd, who isn't familiar with the area, drove to a friend's house nearby and told her friend she wasn't sure of the exact location where the robbery took place but remembered a green sign above the ATM. The friend called police and the officer met them on Cypress Street in Bloomfield, police said.

Todd's friend offered to drive her back in the direction she came from to look at ATMs until she found the right one, police said. A police officer followed until Todd pointed out a Citizens Bank ATM at Liberty and Pearl, police said.

She declined medical treatment at the scene and said she would go to a hospital today.

Todd declined to comment.

"She is a volunteer for the McCain-Palin campaign," said campaign spokesman Peter Feldman. "Sen. McCain has reached out to her via telephone and has spoken to her and her family, as has McCains running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, Feldman said. Out of respect for her privacy we're not going to comment further."

Democrat Barack Obama's campaign released a statement saying: Our thoughts and prayers are with the young woman for her to make a speedy recovery, and we hope that the person who perpetrated this crime is swiftly apprehended and brought to justice."

Police described the suspect as black, about 6-foot-4, and said he was wearing dark-colored jeans and a black undershirt.

The ATM has a security camera and investigators are trying to watch the video, police said."
