UPDATED WITH VIDEO – Hope, Change, and Mayhem: McCain Supporter Mutilated!

Drudge is reporting that a McCain supporter was attacked and that a “B” was carved on her forehead cheek.

That’s the new tone of our politics, I guess…

UPDATE: The story is being covered by a Pittsburgh TV station.  It’s on line, here.

After reading the report, I think it could be a hoax; but then again, it could be true.

MORE: Hot Air and Ace have photos.  I have to agree with Ace.  It doesn’t sound as sketchy anymore.

Drudge has more links now, including a Pittsburgh Tribune story and video which you can watch here.

Via Instapundit: Phyllis Chesler says “I told you so”.  She’s right.

A HOAX? Via Hot Air, Michell Malkin speculates on why the story keeps emitting a certain stench.

The thing that to me doesn’t add up from the start is that it happened last night and we didn’t hear about it until today.  I think something like this would have been reported to the police sooner.  I doubt she gave herself that black eye, but I think the “B” being backwards is certainly suspicious.

Then again, I could be wrong.  Maybe this did happen.  Violence against McCain supporters and their property has occurred several times already.

Welcome, RightVoices readers!

UPDATE: A HOAX, INDEED.
