As with any social progress, it is always preceded by vicious and often violent backlash from the last bastions of the willfully ignorant who fear any change.
Yesterday, Drudge, the shining example of the alternative to the liberal bias of the dreaded "MSM", ran this glaring headline in his normal design-challenged h2 tag, red headline:
SHOCK: MCCAIN VOLUNTEER ATTACKED AND MUTILATED IN PITTSBURGH
‘B’ CARVED INTO 20-YEAR OLD WOMAN’S FACE... DEVELOPING...
http://www.thepittsburghchannel.com/news/17789356/detail.html
The robber is described as a dark-skinned black man, 6 feet 4 inches tall, 200 pounds with a medium build, short black hair and brown eyes. The man was wearing dark colored jeans, a black undershirt and black shoes.
And again, Drudge embarrasses the hell out of himself when he refuses to wait for facts and dangerously invokes racist, politicized sensationalism to garner support for his side.
Turns out this victim's story is slightly lacking in consistency.
We're told there are several things about the alleged attack that don't add up. A Pittsburgh PD official says they are conducting a "thorough investigation" and have not determined if the alleged attack is real or a hoax. But we're told there is definitely a level of skepticism.

Why in the fuck would the mythical "scary dark-skinned person" carve a B instead of an O? Not only simply because the last name is what is associated with a political candidate's name but I'd also imagine it's a lot harder to pull off a B than an O when you're sketching it in skin. Also, the invisible attacker sure has nice penmanship for a spur of the moment mutilation.
