Ashley Todd Hoax: She Lied, Injuries Self-Inflicted

Posted on: October 24th, 2008 by: Meg7 comments

Ashley Todd was THE story of the day on Thursday when the 20 year old McCain volunteer reported that she was robbed near an ATM machine in Bloomfield. She went on to say that things turned really ugly when the ‘perp’ saw the McCain bumper sticker on her car. That was when she was savagely beaten. Todd described her attacker as an angry, knife wielding black man and detailed how he beat her and carved a B on her cheek.

Apparently the story didn’t pass the smell test with authorities because they began to note some inconsistencies in her story so they administered a polygraph test. Authorities are now confident in reporting Todd’s story to be a complete hoax. Pittsburgh police held a news conference this afternoon and reported that Ashley Todd lied about the entire incident and her injuries were self-inflicted.

Check out the story as it was reported yesterday by this website. One of our writers found the story to be a little ‘off’ even when the world was buying into Todd’s saga.

Officials indicate that Ashley Todd faces charges of filing a false report to police.

Wow… a lying racist who isn’t too bright.
Since she had to carve the letter in the mirror, wouldn’t it have been smarter to try for an O?

I know levity might not be appropriate right now… but jeez…. some of the McCain supporters are really out there.

How come this broad gets charged for filing a false report and the stripper that tried to lock up three Duke students took a powder?

Ashley Todd may be mentally unbalanced, but the McCain campaign was quick to spin the story into really ugly race baiting. It’s long past time for McCain to turn off the hate machine. But dubt he will. He’s now deep into monomania.
