John McCain's Pennsylvania communications director told reporters in the state an incendiary version of the hoax story about the attack on a McCain volunteer well before the facts of the case were known or established -- and even told reporters outright that the "B" carved into the victim's cheek stood for "Barack," according to multiple sources familiar with the discussions.
John Verrilli, the news director for KDKA in Pittsburgh, told TPM Election Central that McCain's Pennsylvania campaign communications director gave one of his reporters a detailed version of the attack that included a claim that the alleged attacker said, "You're with the McCain campaign? I'm going to teach you a lesson."

I hope this is a lie.
Can any policy,however high minded, be moral if it leads to widespread corruption,imprisons so many,has so racist an effect,destroys our inner cities,wreaks havoc on misguided & vulnerable individuals and brings death and destruction to foreign countries?
1I don't think so -- almost every news outlet (except fox, who took the story and ran) is reporting that the McCain camp did indeed push this. Even some groups/people on sugar - pushed this.
To me it's like saying "ha -- we finally got one (in a gloating manner). SEE Obama supporters are more violent." -- OR "why doesn't this story get more coverage" - "the liberal media is soo bias"......blah, blah.
2Well, I just got home. I heard about the news with J Hudson and I was in her neighborhood (a friend of mine lives a block away), sad news. Now I get back and hear this. Damn. I was hoping it was a lie.
