Romney Supporter Wears 'Put The White Back In The White House' T-Shirt At Ohio Campaign Event (PHOTO)
 
So are we to draw from this that all Romney supporters are racist? Or that there is an A-hole in every crowd?

well obviously that theres an a-hole in every crowd lol


and for the record the shirt makes me laugh, its sad that people are that stupid but at the same time I cant help to laugh.

Maybe its a pitty laugh.

It's important to point these sort of people out and publicly shame them each and every time. Asshole is too good a term to describe people like this. What comes out of the orifice, however, is a lot more fitting.
 
Should be kicked out of the event and banned from all other GOP events. A tone like that has no business in modern politics. But of course we all know that the GOP would never do that...
 
Boob alert.

I agree, but that is not what is happening here. You dont see the guys face and the aricle does not give the guys name, so there is no public shaming of him. The only name identified with the racist shirt is Romney. And THAT is the point of the article.
 
Race certainly plays a big part. KY for example is a heavily democratic state where the nominee that won has always won in KY since FDR to my knowledge. In 2008 that record was broken.

Let me clarify. I don't need a face or a name to publicly shame the ideology. I don't care who he is or what he looks like. All I care about is that his repulsive ideas are pointed out and rejected by society and the people whose campaign he supports. The Romney campaign was quick to condemn the message on the T-shirt and that is all I care about. Let him and his ilk know that their support is not welcome if race is the only criteria.
 
According to Buzzfeed, a Romney spokesperson "commented that the shirt was reprehensible and has no place in this election."

(blah blah blah stupid minimum character requirement)

I'd like to know who this citizen is and who made the t-shirt.

What would you have added to the statement that would have added to the statement?
 
But how do you know he's not an Obama supporter? Trust nothing.

Exactly. How do you know that this man wasn't planted to gin up a really stale and boring motif?

Why have a productive and real discussion about the ugly side of a political party (and don't get me wrong, all political parties have their ugly side) when a conspiracy theory to avoid any thought or introspection will do just fine?

You seriously think that a guy was planted? Yes, the Obama campaign raised record amounts of money for the election and they decided all they needed was to pay this guy $100 to stand at a political function. Buying ad space, celebrity time, and door to door campaigners was just the ruse. Maybe the same guy was paid to shoot into the Denver field office and got to keep the gun as an added bonus. What other mysteries are you gonna solve Angela Lansbury?

They pay people to be at their own rallies. Why is it so far-fetched to think a politician doesn't pay people to be trouble-makers at their opponents' rallies? That's called independent, critical thinking. We need more of it.

I thought Romney was the Democratic plant?

Or was it Michelle Bachman?

Enquiriing minds yanno

To paraphrase a Jew, "You live on bull**** mountain." I guess a couple of years back when a black guy wearing a cowboy hat showed up to a Obama speech with a rifle on his back that was a GOP plant?

Blueberry Hill, if ya' don't mind. I don't know about a guy in a cowboy hat; but I sure don't automatically assume that what I read is correct. And that how something is interpreted by the media is correct. There's plenty of precedent for disrupters being recruited to go to opponents' rallies. The fact that you don't believe it doesn't mean it isn't true.

T he point is, there is absolutely no reason to believe that an unidentified, unnamed person who shows up at a political rally with a shirt or slogan that actually works against the candidate holding the rally, is necessarily a supporter of that candidate and not his opponent.

But then this could have been cleared up had the man been identified and interviewed. But that didnt happen.
 
Of course this guy doesn't represent anyone but himself but to ignore that race hasn't been a large part of republican strategy for last 40 years is a joke. I doubt most of the politicians be it Reagan, Bush or whomever have racist views but they have sought the racist vote. The Southern Strategy isn't a myth.

Welfare Queens, Willie Horton, ObamaPhone, ObamaMoney, New Black Panther Party etc... Have one message "be afraid whitey the blacks are coming".
 
I want to know who made the t-shirt but haven't found anything yet through Googling.

Who is this guy? Is he part of a group? If so, what is it, and how big is it? Or could this be a little flame-fanning stunt?

HuffPo and Kos are talking about this, but I'm hoping that other sites will too and that more facts will emerge. In the meantime, I'm not going to overreact or overgeneralize when this may be a lone kook or or a plant. All we know is that he is a creep, regardless.
