When A Wingnut Wet Dream Explodes

It was the perfect story. A innocent white 13-year-old girl menaced by swarthy thugs while trying to protect our borders:

A teenager who took a sign reading "If you love our nation, stop illegal immigration" to school said she was hurt after being swarmed by angry classmates, and administrators said Tuesday they have suspended three students involved in the scuffle.

...

J.R. Bowers, the girl's father, said Melanie suffered scratch marks along her neck, face and arms. He said she also had a swollen jaw.

Bowers said as many as 20 students surrounded his daughter in the hallway, and Hayes said others may have hurled verbal insults. The poster was ultimately destroyed by other students.

"She was like a zebra on her arm," Bowers said of the bruises. "She believes they were intentionally trying to hurt her."

The three students given in-school suspension are Hispanic, Hayes said. Bowers is white. Although the school has video surveillance, Hayes said the incident occurred in a blind spot out of camera range but no punches were thrown.

The usual wingnuts became orgasmic, lighting crosses first and asking questions never. Sample drooling (no links):

"the open-borders mob reaction to one girl's project is absolutely unacceptable"

"Jail is too good for these scumbags-in-training... Not that they'll get any real punishment, anyway."

"How much more of this shit are we going to take?"

"Government schools. Have you delivered your child into the hands of government today? Do you feel good about that?"

Of course, unless you were blinded by irrational hatred, you could see the truth coming a mile away.

DALLAS -- An eighth-grader lied when she claimed a mob of angry students assaulted her for making a poster that said, "If you love our nation, stop illegal immigration," Athens school district officials said Wednesday.

Surveillance cameras at Athens Middle School show Melanie Bowers, 13, making scratch marks on her face and arms in a hallway after a classmate took her poster in a "snatch and grab," Superintendent Fred Hayes said.

Melanie had told administrators she was clawed and hit after about 20 students, angry about the poster she made for a class project, swarmed her and wrested the sign away.

The reported scuffle led to the suspension of three Hispanic students.

"The real error in this whole thing lies in the young lady telling lies," Hayes said. The school is pursuing misdemeanor charges against the girl for making a false report.

Melanie's future as a wingnut blogger is looking even brighter today.

Update (4/10): I should have called this post "Nava, Again."
