To all of those people who believed this story and said that those who doubted it were insensitive, screaming racism or the like…You must feel as dumb as this mentally challenged girl who did this to her self. Come on…I was born at night but not LAST NIGHT. Any one who refuses a medical exam after reporting an attack confirms a lack of credibility. I bet Barry Goldwater is turning over in his grave right now. Stupidty and ignorance were not the original intent of the conservative movement. The right wingers in this country are just embarrassing! The only thing that they are good at is being corrupt! It would be better if they left the country so that we could have a literacy rate that is higher than 49%

“Yup, that’s right, she’s a lying racist who wants to incite race riots by cutting her own face in order to get John McCain elected president.”

Well, it turns out that’s exactly what she is, the Daily Kos people were right, and you were a gullible fool who swallowed a story with holes in it you could drive a truck through. You’re probably the type of person who would believe that George Bush is “conservative”!

This hoax exposes a serious flaw in the new right-wing media: the fanatic zeal to pounce quickly on any story that makes the Left look bad, combined with a lack of journalism skills that stress objectivity and a healthy dose of skepticism.

Even though Malkin is no longer an objective journalist, her journalism background and years of experience enabled her to smell a rat quickly.

An MSM newspaper or TV reporter expressing knee-jerk outrage about this fish tale would likely be fired. But since bloggers won’t fire themselves for falling for such an obvious hoax, these types of stories will continue to make the rounds on the Net.

Drudge posted an inflammatory, misleading lead headline yesterday for a story that turned out to be a hoax. Will he fire anyone? Doubtful.
