When Barack Obama urged his supporters to get in their face, did it not occur to him that some of his more deranged followers might take him literally?

A 20-year old woman was attacked and robbed at a Pittsburgh ATM today. A spokesperson for that city’s Police Department said that after the robber took the woman’s money, he became enraged when he saw a McCain bumper sticker on her car.

The perp then beat the victim with his hands, kicked her and used a knife to carve the letter “B” into her face.

WTAE has the story here.
