Obama Campaign Worker Attacked in Wisconsin

Despite the enormous attention given to false allegations of an attack on a McCain supporter in Pennsylvania, there has been virtually no attention of the well-supported allegation of an Obama worker being attacked in Racine, Wisconsin. Nancy Takehara tells WISN-TV she drove from Chicago to help canvass a neighborhood and got into a heated exchange with Ronald Goetsch over allegations of voter improprieties in other states. She says that Goetsch grabbed her by the back of the neck and was pounding her head and screaming.


What is fascinating is that, unlike the highly questionable attack, Goetsch told local media that did pull the woman’s hair and regrets his actions.

It strikes me a curious contradiction in the level of initial attention. For the full story, click here.

    That is a horrible story that has gone unnoticed in the fair and balanced news.

    I guess the media ia not as interested in something that makes McCain or his followers look bad. I wonder why not?
