was she trying to drum up support for obama?

OK.... Is there anybody who DIDN'T see that coming?

Yeah, we saw it coming. Sad, though. She's got a long way to go to recover, both mentally and physically.

The first clue was that "KKK" was mis-spelled.

She nearly killed herself. Something must be very wrong in her life.

So, when did Tawana change her name?

0bama supporters are turning out to be a sicker lot than most supposed.

Why do people do such a thing? I was suspicious because, when was the last time KKK members were running around Louisiana in white hoods?

Calling Al Sharpton!

Let's hope she is sedated for skin grafts somewhere on election day and can't make it to the polls.

Either a real psycho or protecting her boyfriend who has a real sick way of showing her he cares.

BTW - There were initial reports of this "attack" in the urban press/blogosphere that the woman was wearing an Obama shirt that was also the "target" of the faux-attempted murder.

But a guy in Wisconsin really did have the crap beaten out of him for protecting the Romney-Ryan sign in his yard, with witnesses to prove it.

#4 you are probably right.

#2 Me no see coming. The AP story last night had a couple of details that seemed odd but it was not obviously fake to me.

Win some. Lose some. Next week w/b the same.

Tawana Brawley!!Heck , where is Al Sharpton?

I am not surprised it is fake. I am just surprised how quickly it was debunked - less than a day when I imagined it might be a 9-day wonder.

Breitbart lives! (Seriously, I miss the man, but his legacy is strong and growing.)

I can only hope her injuries are painful...

I vote for #4 as comment of the day.

I read the story on the UK Daily Mail this morning. It was obvious from the start that this was a fake story. This is pretty sad but it is a reflection on what passes for the Democrat voter these days.

Rev's Al and Jesse must be very disappointed.

These people are sick. She needs professional help, as do so many Democrat freaks.

What level of hate and insanity do you have to have to set yourself on fire to smear other people? Despicable.

And for anyone who is actually attacked ... there's automatic skepticism. This is what this kind of behavior brings. Potential injustice for everyone!

She wasn't able to read...what she thought was KKK was Islam!

I vote with #18 about the "Best of Posts" award for #4.

Of course, we all know that the night riders of the KKK always had their tubes of toothpaste handy for writing the "N" word.

I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt because to do something like this to oneself shows not only a very sad and miserable person but someone who is terribly sick too. She could have died and if anyone knows anything about burns, they are the most painful thing a person can endure. I don't know her motivations...maybe she was trying to commit suicide and then changed her mind at the last minute and decided to blame it on racists. Or maybe she is just very mentally ill. I just hope she gets the help that she desparately needs. She is paying for what she did, believe me...the pain she is enduring is horrific.

Isn'the KKK a branch of the democrat party?

Sharmeka....is that irish?

ABC radio news was touting this story all day but before the truth came out. They seem to love crowing about things that look like racist crimes against blacks. They did not follow up with the truth. Vermin--Chery Preston is usually the ABC moderator on radio.

Weak minded, drug addled Obama fans are being deluged with calls to action for Obama... Have you seen the 100's of tweeted death threats to Romney? Between Ayres, Code Pinko, the NAACP & more, there is a buildup of protesters. The groups of blacks, robbing stores... attacking lone white people... this is all leading to what the radical leftists call "The Revolution".

I tend to feel this was an attempt to start race riots but the girl was hurt more than she intended...

Multiple poster came here for the sole purpose of creating problems...obviously, everything is taken out of context with a prejudice and bias against anything and anyone who does not agree with the Democrat viewpoint. If someone says something that may be a little off-color, the multi-poster takes it as if it is an indictment against everyone on this forum--not even knowing or realizing what has been happening for the past 4 years. People do not like Obama because of his ideology...and they do not like the entire left because they lie and mislead people with everything they say and do. While not everyone can be eloquent and say things perfectly to fit a PC world, that doesn't make them a "hater". It only means that they are speaking how they feel at the moment based on many factors which you do not know anything about. That said, multi-poster needs a new home.
