Halloween Started a Week Early on Twitter #litf08

It’s a rough day for Ashley Todd, who became the poster girl of “False Police Reports” with a brand new “B” scratched on her cheek. It’s an even rougher day for the website Notes from the Field | Life in the Field which is billed as “a group blog starring the 50 College Republican field representatives and you”. The ‘YOU’ part is an unattended Twitter widget with the hash tag of #litf08 for anyone to tweet to. The group that Todd is part of has been mocked and prodded one tweet at a time after Todd’s story was exposed. Look at this as the Internet’s versions of grabbing a pack toilet paper and rolling the yard, only Green and Earth Friendly.

Just in case you’ve been away from anything that reports news, here’s the condensed tale of Ashley Todd. Todd, a John McCain supporter, told police in Pittsburg, PA. that she was attacked and robbed by a tall black man at an ATM and that the attacker became enraged when he saw McCain bumper sticker on her car on the 23rd of October. The report was like adding gasoline to camp fire. One of the scouts around that fire was Fox New’s John Moody said “this incident could become a watershed event in the 11 days before the election”. Today the 24th. of October, Todd admitted she manufactured the story after surveillance cameras and polygraph examinations offered a different version of her story.

I doubt that Senator McCain would have wanted a campaign worker to do a stunt that was racially charged as this or would even allow to happen had he knew of it in advance. Probably the best things McCain and Obama supporters could just stick to the issues and not take the low road of playing of the race game or other immature stunts. And while they are at it STOP THE ROBOCALLS.
