PITTSBURGH — A 20-year-old woman who was robbed at an ATM in Bloomfield was also maimed by her attacker, apparently because of her political views, police said.

According to WTAE’s news exchange partners the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review Ashley Todd, of College Station, Texas, was using an ATM at Liberty Avenue and Pearl Street in Bloomfield just before 9 p.m. on Wednesday when a man approached her and put a knife to her throat.

Police spokeswoman Diane Richard said the robber took $60 from Todd, then became angry when he saw a McCain bumper sticker on the victim’s car. The attacker then punched and kicked the victim, before using the knife to scratch the letter “B” into her face, Richard said.

The Tribune reported that Todd, who isn’t familiar with the area, drove to a friend’s house and together the pair located the Citizens Bank ATM at Liberty and Pearl where the attack happened and called police.

Todd declined to comment to the Tribune. Friends said she is in Pittsburgh volunteering for the McCain-Palin campaign.

Richard said the woman refused medical treatment after the assault, which happened outside the view of the bank’s surveillance cameras.

The robber is described as a dark-skinned black man, 6 feet 4 inches tall, 200 pounds with a medium build, short black hair and brown eyes. The man was wearing dark colored jeans, a black undershirt and black shoes.

The Obama-Biden campaign released a statement, commenting on the attack. The statement said “Our thoughts and prayers are with the young woman for her to make a speedy recovery, and we hope that the person who perpetrated this crime is swiftly apprehended and brought to justice.”

The McCain-Palin campaign also released a statement saying “The McCain campaign is aware of the incident involving one of its volunteers. Out of respect, the campaign won’t be commenting. The campaign also confirms that Senator McCain and Governor Palin have both spoken to the woman.”

Please accept yet another hug from your nothern cousin!

JON STUART SHOW OWES AN ON-AIR APOLOGY TO GOV. PALIN AND TO HARRIET CHRISTIAN.

I could not believe how reprehensible and vulgar Jon’s commentary has become, especially last night, the epitome of Crude!

Jon suggested Harriet was crazy and repeated this many times. He used the F*CK word on at least dozen times and described Sarah Palin in terms of a sexual object linked to Sen. McCain for other than political reasons. It was unbbelieable to hear this moron make these way out of line even for his kind remarks about SArah and use AGEISM AGAINST McCAIN AND SEXIST ABUSE heaped on Sarah last night.

Women’s Media (unless it’s bought by the Obamabots) should launch a complaint about Jon’s disgustingly vulgar performance at the expense of these two women!

SHAME ON JON STUART! AN APOLOGY ON-AIR TO BOTH SARAH PALIN AND HARRIET IS WARRANTED!!

YOU GO, GIRL! I watched Jon Stuart show last night and he has been transformed from Dr. Jekyll into Dr. Hyde! I couldn;t believe the venom, disrespectful vitriol thrown Harriet’s way! What is the matter with Jon?

Jon Stewart has been drinking Kool-Aid lately, it seems. It was shocking to hear this moron use the F word to describe Harriet and Sarah!

That was the last time i watched the Jon Stuart Show–unless he issues an on-air APOLOGY TO HARRIETT and GOV. PALLIN!

We must protest the severe MISOGYNIST TREATMENT OF SARAH PALIN ON THE JON STUART SHOW LAST NIGHT!

Jon explicitly made the reference to a “slut” and made sexual innuendos of Sarah’s relationship to Sen. McCain and demeaned the senator using AGEISM and SEXIST commentary of the most reprehensible type for Sarah!

JON OWES AN OR-AIR APOLOGY TO BOTH WOMEN!

“Son, when you get to the hotel room…Call me”

Hours later he gets to the hotel room with his beautiful blushing bride and he calls his father,

“Dad, we are the hotel, what do I do?”

“O.K. Son, listen up, take off your clothes and get in the bed, then she should take off her clothes and get in the bed, if not help her. Then either way, ah, call me”

A few moments later…

“Dad we took off our clothes and we are in the bed, what do I do?”

O.K. Son, listen up. Move real close to her and she should move real close to you, and then… Ah, call me.”

A few moments later…

“DAD! WE TOOK OFF OUR CLOTHES, GOT IN THE BED AND MOVED REAL CLOSE, WHAT DO I DO???”

“O.K. Son, Listen up, this is the most important part. Stick the long part of your body into the place where she goes to the bathroom.”

A few moments later…

“Dad, I’ve got my foot in the toilet, what do I do?”

Show those lying, cheating hypocrites that it doesn’t pay to pi$$ off their base.

I will drop off my vote for McCain/Palin here in Wisconsin this afternoon. First vote for a Republican in my life. Again, showing those lying, cheating hypocrites that it doesn’t pay to pi$$ off their base.
