Now wait just a minute. It appears that this woman has a bit of a sketchy story. Her lie detector test showed inconsistencies...aka...she failed it.
I'm thinking this woman made it up. Why would someone scratch a "backwards B" on her face. Could it be that she scratched the B in her own face....in front of a mirror...and oops....it came out backwards because she wasn't thinking about the "mirror image" factor?
Don't get me wrong...I'm not an Obama supporter....not much of a McCain supporter either...but I smell a rat here.
Not to put too fine a point on it, or to claim that correlation should equal....much of anything, but this isn't the only one of these lately. For example, in 2006, there was this:
Despite a national whirlwind of speculation, political finger-pointing and a nasty black eye, police said rumors surrounding the assault of an Oakland University student who woke up beaten and bruised in Ann Arbor on the night of Sept. 23 are false.
Ann Arbor police said Justin Zatkoff, the executive director of the Michigan Federation of College Republicans, was not attacked by "liberal thugs," as posted on the conservative blog truthcaucus.com.
Zatkoff's injuries included a broken eye socket, nose and nasal cavity. He was admitted to the emergency room the morning after the assault and had surgery six days later.
Zatkoff told police the next morning that he could not remember what happened the previous night....
The police report tells a much different story.
Police said Zatkoff received his puffy purple left eye during a fight with a high school friend.
Zatkoff was at a friend's party on the 1100 block of White Street on Sept. 23 when he engaged in what the police report called "horseplay" with a friend. Fueled by alcohol, Zatkoff was belligerent.
"When Zatkoff drinks, he gets a little out of control," the report quoted one of Zatkoff's friends. "At this particular party Zatkoff was being obnoxious."
Another one of Zatkoff's friends eventually admitted to police that it was he - not a gang of angry liberals - who punched Zatkoff.
In an interview with The Daily Princetonian, Nava expressed remorse for his actions' effects on the recipients of the threatening emails, other Anscombe members and the general Princeton community. "I accept full responsibility for my actions and agree to face criminal and/or disciplinary proceedings from the University," Nava said. He declined to answer any other questions, however, including how he managed to inflict the injuries on himself and what motivated his actions.
Detective Sgt. Ernie Silagyi said Township Police became suspicious after "there were some things that didn't add up" in Nava's story. "We interviewed him this morning, we confronted him with the inconsistencies, and he admitted to fabricating the assault and the threatening emails," Silagyi said, adding that Nava told Township Police that his injuries were self-inflicted.
While pointing out gently that all of these so far have been Republican claims - later admitted to be false - about attacks by supposed Democratic "thugs," and without attributing any collective weirdness to Republicans in general owing to the lack of such claims by Democrats against Republicans, I DO have to wonder what sort of mentality it takes to inflict THAT sort of damage against oneself....
A Pittsburgh police commander says a volunteer for the McCain campaign who reported being robbed and attacked near a bank ATM in Bloomfield has confessed to making up the story. Police say charges will be filed. More details to follow.
More of the story from AP: A McCain campaign volunteer who reported that a tall black man robbed her and then cut a "B" onto her cheek after seeing a McCain bumper sticker on her car has been given a polygraph test because of "inconsistencies" in her story, police said.
Among other things, police said photos and bank card information from an automated teller machine where the college student claimed she was robbed do not show her using the machine at the time, police said.
Pittsburgh police spokeswoman Diane Richard wouldn't release the polygraph results, but said, "we're still looking at some inconsistencies" in the woman's story.
Police said the student, Ashley Todd, of College Station, Texas, who is white, told them she was attacked by a 6-foot-4 black man Wednesday night.
Richard said police have not ruled out that the woman was attacked as she claimed, and said inconsistencies deal primarily with how she described the attack.
"We're just trying to judge the validity of some of the information we received from her," Richard said. "We understand when you are under duress that sometimes you can't recollect things. We're just looking at all the angles."
Among the differences in her accounts are whether she lost consciousness, whether she remembers handing over money and how the man assaulted her, police said.

It was a hoax - she has admitted it.
