McCain volunteer admits race-baiting fable about being assaulted by a tall black Obama supporter was in fact a lie.

Note that nobody is suggesting John McCain personally urged the young woman to go out and lie for his cause. He just would have benefited from it had it worked.

John Moody, executive vice president at Fox New: "If the incident turns out to be a hoax, Senator McCain's quest for the presidency is over, forever linked to race-baiting."

Huh. Ashley Todd's wikipedia entry appears to have been deleted because she isn't notable enough to warrant one.

While I'm sure it doesn't explain *all* of them, I'm convinced there's a large core of people who are essentially "wreckers", enjoying tearing down things other people are trying to build, who have settled on these rules-lawyering games on Wikipedia as the way to get their jollies.
