more right wing self-hate crimes

we avoided the "story" of the young texas girl who was beat up by fellow students for her anti-illegal immigration sign she made for a homework assignment.

the girl made a sign that said "if you love our nation, stop illegal immigration" for a class assignment, which was to create something expressing either the pro or con side of the illegal immigration issue.

she then alleged that she was accosted by a group of latino students who beat her and threatened her with rape and death, in the halls of her athens, texas, school.

except, as it turns out, not so much really...kltv7news:

charges are being filed against 13 year old melanie bowers by athens isd through the henderson county district attorney's office for filing a false report, said aisd officials today...

after melanie's accusations, administrators reviewed school survellience videotape of the incident - which, instead of showing students beating or attacking her, showed bowers scratching herself on her arms, face, and neck, and walking through the halls of the school calmly long after she claimed the incident happened.

after melanie's parents were presented with that information and the video, the school confronted melanie, and she admitted that she made the story up.
so young melanie joins the ranks of a myriad of hardly-ever-right wingers who beat themselves up and blame the left.

we know about projection, but this it taking it a little too far, don't you think?

She's 13. Hopefully she'll outgrow it.

Sounds like she was trying to impress her parents, oddly enough. They probably watch Lou Dobbs, and she knew this would get their attention.

Pathetic, if predictable.

I knew when I first read it that something smelled fishy.
