Just saying, if it is real we look like stupid insensitive freepers and if it is wrong we can rip into her then.

Any issue with waiting?

1. We're just discussing it on a blog... it's not like we're issuing press releases...


Relax.

5. No.
I also don't have any issue with looking at her story and saying that it is implausible because of a, b, c, d, e, f, and g. With all the reasons I've come up with to debunk it that are based on logic and what you'd expect to see with an attack like this, there's no way it's true. Adding the picture into the mix only convinced me even further, so much so that I laughed aloud when I saw it. THAT is how fake it is (girlfriend should have used something other than smudged mascara under her eye for a black eye--maybe had someone *actually* punch her or something).

It's ludicrous.

6. Why suddenly start acting reasonable and mature?
:shrug: It would just make all those other times so much harder to explain.

7. NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
This was obvious bullshit from the get go and now it is EVIDENTLY BULLSHIT. We are the alternative to the FALSE NOISE on the TV, our silence means that THEIR BULLSHIT NARRATIVE SUCCEEDS.

15. It's immaterial whether it is or isn't true
It doesn't reflect on Obama either way -- just one crazy (be he/she the victim or alleged perpetrator) on the loose.

16. Sometimes it takes the Blog sphere to get to the bottom of BS
so no I don't think we should shut up. Some interesting You tube videos have been posted of this person. Not to mention the smoking gun link of her twitter page.

17. How does anyone prove that no one mugged her? Proving a negative is impossible.

23. Lots of ways in this particular case

1. Is there a record of her withdrawing money from that ATM? If not, she's lying.

2. Is there a security video of her withdrawing money or of the attack? If not, she's lying.

3. Will she submit to a medical examination? If so, is the black eye real? If not she's lying.

4. This is a busy street corner in Bloomfield. Were there any witnesses who saw her at the ATM? If so, and they say they saw nothing happen to her, then she's lying.

I think we should wait and hear the whole story before making any accusations.

25. If it hadn't been for people not shutting up, then the Palin shit wouldn't have gone viral
nearly as fast as it did.

This is what we do. The police and the media are ultimately grateful.

29. Please
Who could worry about being compared to the "Birth Certificate" gang?

This chick is a stooge and this seems bogus enough to speculate reasonably that she's a plant. AKA-put up to this probably to distract from the elventy-one million and a half Palin scandals.
