Ashley Todd is 2008’s Tawana Brawley
She wasn’t mugged. She wasn’t assaulted. She wasn’t robbed. Ashley Todd told a lie to police, and she has now been caught in that lie, which has in itself likely changed the Presidential race in Pennsylvania. No, she wasn’t carved with a “B”, nor was she fondled by that big menacing black man. This is all racist politics.

2. Someone said Susan Smith, too
That was desperation on her part, a very sad story. Tawana and Ashley meant to create racial strife from the beginnings of their tales.

7. It was a lame attempt at a joke
Charleton Heston is the NRA hollywood star. You called Al Sharpton a charleton. It was just a stupid play on words. It is nothing more than that, trust me.

14. can't remember the guys name but about 10 years ago some white
guy from Boston killed his wife and then claimed some big black guy robbed them and shot her in the head. To cover for the crime, he shot himself in the stomache. The Police suspected him from day one. He went to prison for life.

18. I Lived In Boston Then
It was more like fifteen or twenty years ago. The murderer's name was Charles Stuart. His wife was pregnant, & the fetus died, too. He did not in fact go to jail, but rather, when it was clear he was about to be arrested for the crime, took a dive off the Tobin Bridge, a rickety structure high enough over the Mystic River to make my palms sweat when, crossing on it, I would reflect that it had been built by low bidders.

15. She showed her hand when she went back and told Police that the
man also sexually assaulted her. She needed to make the story sound more like a bad movie. McCain camp needs to get on this one--it was their PA Commun. Director that gave story to Drudge without "preconditions." They can wave goodbye to PA.
