<p>Probably just an <a href="http://pajamasmedia.com/phyllischesler/2008/10/23/mccain-supporter-attacked-and-mutilated-in-pittsburgh-its-true/" target="_blank">isolated incident</a>.</p>
<p>And, to be painfully clear, <a href="http://hotair.com/archives/2008/10/23/mccain-supporter-maimed-for-her-politics-by-robber/" target="_blank">doesn&#8217;t mean that everybody behaves this way.</a></p>
<p>But I can tell you it doesn&#8217;t surprize me much.</p>
<p><strong>Update</strong>:</p>
<p>Yes, it seems that (as usual) <a href="http://michellemalkin.com/2008/10/23/why-that-mccain-volunteers-mutilation-story-smells-awfully-weird/" target="_blank">skepticism is indicated</a>. (That&#8217;s with the caveat that <strong>polygraph tests are not scientific</strong>). What&#8217;s wrong with some people? I mean, you expect this stuff from the Left. But when someone ostensibly on our side goes all walkies like this it adds disappointment and incredulity to the mix.</p>
<p><strong>Final Update</strong>:</p>
<p>I was out of town for a few days and <a href="http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/08299/922849-53.stm" target="_blank">missed this</a>. Sadly, the fact that she was a Ron Paul supporter partially explains the behavior. How I used to like that man. It made it hard to take when he turned out to be the crazy uncle.</p>
