Update: News agencies are reporting that the report of an attack against a McCain support is a hoax.

A John McCain volunteer was attacked and mutilated in Pittsburgh, according to news reports. The victim told police that someone robbed her and carved a “B” into her face after noticing her McCain political bumper sticker.

Politics aside, it is time for people to stop the hate — no matter what side someone is on the political spectrum. Everyone involved in the political system is fighting for America — we just have different ideas on the best way to make our country the best place it can be.

Let’s keep the political battle civil.

We can all disagree about all sorts of things, but let’s be friends after all is said and done.

Both John McCain’s and Barack Obama’s campaigns reached out to the victim. Everyone in America needs to reach across the political spectrum to let each other know that people can disagree about politics and still be friends with each other.

A millionaire hedge fund manager retires at 37 and insults his clients calling them “idiots” for giving him a multimillion dollar salary.

Yo, hedge fund boy. Remember the tax rate was up to 75% back in the good old days before tax reform in the 1980s. You could be getting yours pretty soon.

All of your money could be soon going to fund some hired trucks, a bridge to nowhere, friends of those in power and their family members, or some pilot project to study something or other in some legislator’s state who voted the right way for some appropriations bill.

Note to the next president, please keep my taxes low. It’s all of those other people who deserve to have all of their wealth spread around — hopefully from them to me.
