A few weeks ago, we had this post about a 20-year-old McCain volunteer who faked a story about being attacked by an Obama supporter. Now, the Star Tribune reports that a similar attack happened to a freshman student at Minnesota-based Augsberg College, but this time, the police say it could be real. Freshman Annie Grossmann, a Sarah Palin supporter from Alaska, was allegedly beaten by four black women on election night after they saw her wearing a McCain/Palin presidential campaign button.
“One approached me and got in my face and called me racist because I had the pin on. That really ticked me off, but I kind of left it alone because she was so much bigger than I am,” said Grossmann. She is 5 feet 2 and weighs 120 pounds, and played boys high school hockey in Alaska. “The girls in the background were just a little bigger than me. They were mocking me from the sidelines.
Grossman was punched, which caused the back of her head to hit a brick wall. The attackers left, and Grossmann returned to her room with a concussion. She decided not to get medical treatment and didn’t report the attack to campus security until the next day. It turns out, Grossmann has been booed in the past at an icebreaker on campus when she identified herself as a Republican. The hockey girl also had a “PETA person” removed from her room because he was upset that Grossman had a photo of herself posing with a black bear she had shot. Politics aside, can we just leave the bears alone?
