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.

Americans must ready themselves for a serious international test, if Barack Obama is elected, said Sen. Joe Biden, Obama’s running mate.

Says Biden, warning of some coming “international incident:”

“It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We’re about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it standing here if you don’t remember anything else I said. Watch, we’re gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.”

What do you think the test will be?

1) 9/11 or Pearl Harbor -style sneak attack against the United States?

2) Russia initiating Cold War II, complete with a kung fu Putin and sidekick lion cub?

3) Attack against Israel?

4) OPEC oil embargo a la the 1970s, complete with gas lines and shortages?

5) Rwanda / Congo style mass chaos and violence after the US pulls out of Iraq?

6) All of the above?
