Actually, I would be just as angry if I saw something similar about McCain.

It is bad enough that the woman was robbed at an ATM by knife point.
With that said, I don't see how being branded with a letter B because she has had a McCain sticker on the back of her car isn't political.
Because the guy is a criminal for mugging her and a psychopath for carving a letter into her face. It's political insofar as this guy was crazy enough to do that to someone for her allegiances. It's like if he was a Red Sox fan and saw a Yankees sticker on her car and carved a B into her cheek.

There has been a lot of worry thrown around about possible retaliation from McCain followers as the election nears. Now that something has happened from the other side there isn't the same concern?

I dislike being told I don't care when I haven't even gotten a chance to find out about the incident.
Having read it, I sincerely hope she is o.k., roundly condemn anyone who would do such a thing for political reasons, and hope such attacks don't occur again.

I'll let the story play out. But here's a picture of the victim.
I'm sorry, but that B is freaking backwards, and it certainly isn't carved. I looks to me, and maybe my conspiracy theory is in poor taste here, but it looks to me like she scratched herself while looking in the mirror and forgot things get reversed. Who the hell knows though, I'm just pointing out what I see.
Regardless. The attacker represents Obama about as much as the wack jobs at the McCain rallies represent him. There are simply too many crazies to even attempt to control. The thing the candidates can control is keeping the level of discourse in their own speeches calm and reasonable, not divisive and fear based.

I do know that the direct mail flyer does it best to scare me. It almost even looks like they've darkened Obama's skin a little. I don't like the tactic, I don't like the tone and I don't like people trying to scare me.
Flip through your brochure there doc, I'm sure they discuss that he is a distinguished professor of Education at the University of Illinois/Chicago and a very active with the city gov't in Chicago with reforming the public school system. I'm also sure your brochure will have a piece in there about how he was one of three co-authors of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge grant proposal that in 1995 won $49.2 million over five years for public school reform. And, dig a little further and I'll bet you find that in 1997 Chicago awarded him its Citizen of the Year award for his work on the project. And don't forget the Woods Fund, an anti-poverty and philanthropic foundation established as the Woods Charitable Fund in 1941 where he sits on the board. In fact, Obama sat on that very same board with him. (cue terrorist music...)
So I think you just need to read your literature a little more there doc, I'm sure they pointed all of this out.
Yup,all that makes up for him helping murder people,and atempted murder.
So who was Obama hanging around with, Bill the terrorist or Bill citizen of the year? That's the question now, isn't it?
