McCain Volunteer Ashley Todd Attacked and Mutilated in Pittsburgh (Photos)

Ashley Todd after being attacked and mutilated

A McCain campaign volunteer was attacked and mutilated while being robbed at an ATM in Bloomfield, near Pittsburgh last night. The attacker carved a "B" into the 20-year-old woman's face after noticing McCain bumper stickers on her car.

Pittsburgh news stations and newspapers are reporting that Ashley Todd, from College Station, Texas, was withdrawing money from an ATM around 9pm Wednesday after leaving a Republican phone bank, when she was approached by "a dark-skinned African-American man about 6'4", who held a knife at her throat.

The suspect stole $60 from Todd and became enraged when he saw the McCain stickers on her car, saying, 'Oh you're with McCain, you're with the McCain campaign? I'm going to teach you a lesson.'"

After repeatedly hitting, kicking and threatening the young woman, the suspect then carved a "B" in her cheek for "Barack" Obama.

Todd is in Pittsburgh volunteering for the McCain-Palin campaign. A spokesperson for the campaign says that Senator McCain and Governor Palin have both spoken to Todd.

This is just the latest in an increasing number of violent incidents across the country by Obama supporters.

The Obama-Biden 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."

It seems no one is pointing out the fact that the "B" carved into her cheek is backward, leading me to speculate that just maybe she did this to herself while looking in a mirror? Of course the attacker may have been at her head, facing her feet, but it doesn't help her case that she refused medical treatment and the attack happened away from the surveillance cameras. I truly hope I'm wrong on this, but I'm just sayin'...
