So are we to draw from this that all Romney supporters are racist? Or that there is an A-hole in every crowd?

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.It's important to point these sort of people out and publicly shame them each and every time.

According to Buzzfeed, a Romney spokesperson "commented that the shirt was reprehensible and has no place in this election."
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.
What would you have added to the statement that would have added to the statement?(blah blah blah stupid minimum character requirement)
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?

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.
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?
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.To paraphrase a Jew, "You live on bull**** mountain."
