Based on the Wikipedia link you provided, I find it interesting how many of these rwingers often try to interject race (in their warped view,"reverse racism&quot into issues while at the same time accusing us of making apologies based on race. Even though there is ample evidence (this case being just one) that racism still exists against minorities in America. THEY seem to be the ones obsessed in denying the realities of racism here; even going as far as claiming to be the "victims" yet accuse us of being the "haters" for pointing out the real facts.

I think this sort of thing would make an interesting case study about how some people project their own prejudices on others. In this case, possibly literally w/the backwards B (if Freudian slips are to be taken into account here).

From the link:

Todd had worked as a field representative for the College Republican National Committee since August 2008 and had come to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in mid-October to recruit college students.[3] On October 22, 2008, Todd claimed that she was robbed at knifepoint[4] by a "six-foot-four African American of medium build, dressed in dark clothes wearing shiny shoes"[5] at a Citizens Bank ATM in the Bloomfield neighborhood of Pittsburgh. She also alleged that after the robber saw a McCain bumper sticker on Todd's car, he assaulted her, cut a reversed letter B into her cheek,[6] and told her "you are going to be a Barack supporter."[7]
