Unity! College Girl Beaten for Wearing McCain/Palin Button

Victim of the leftwing climate of hate

On election night, no less.

Can't you just feel the hope, change, and punches in the face?

An Augsburg College student and Sarah Palin supporter from Alaska was beaten on election night while walking to her dorm and was called a racist by a group of four young women because she had on a McCain/Palin presidential campaign button, authorities and the victim said.

Annie Grossmann, a freshman on the Minneapolis college's hockey team, suffered blurred vision and is thought to have had a concussion from a punch in the eye, but declined medical attention, she said.

Through her mother, Grossmann, 18, of Delta Junction, reported the assault to campus security the next morning, and Minneapolis police were notified that afternoon. No arrests have been made.

In a stunning development, the story waits until the penultimate paragraph before describing the assailants Obama supporters.

Grossmann, who is white, said she told the women, who were black, "You guys don't even know me. There's no reason to think I'm racist."

At that point, she said, she pushed the bigger one in the group, and "she punched me, and the back of my head hit a brick wall."

I thought there was such euphoria over President-in-Training Obama's election? Why are so many of his supporters so angry?
