The Democrat-media complex was hyperventilating after a photo was posted from a Romney-Ryan event in Lancaster, Ohio on Friday of a supposed Romney “supporter” wearing a racist T-shirt.
The photo was posted at Getty Images.
LANCASTER, OH – OCTOBER 12: A supporter of Republican presidential candidate, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and Republican vice presidential candidate U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) waits for a campaign event to begin on October 12, 2012 in Lancaster, Ohio. Ryan debated U.S. Vice President Joe Biden the evening before and Romney is scheduled to debate U.S. President Barack Obama for the second time on October 16. (Photo by Jamie Sabau/Getty Images)
Kristinn Taylor at Big Journalism believes its a fake, a liberal plant.
Robert Stacy McCain also says it’s a fake.
The Examiner reported:
But Robert Stacy McCain wrote Saturday that the man in the photo “is not in fact a Republican, but rather is a plant sent out by the Democrats as a dirty trick.”
McCain says there are three clues that indicate the man in the photo is a plant.
First, he says, “nobody” wears a Romney/Ryan sticker on the back of his t-shirt.
Second, McCain says, “It’s kind of chilly in Ohio this time of year, and the guy’s wearing only a T-shirt, while those around him are wearing coats.”
But the third and most telling clue is that the man remains unidentified.
“A press photographer is going to take a picture like this and make no effort to ID the guy? Nuh-uh,” McCain wrote.
You’ll notice all of the real Romney supporters at the Lancaster event on Friday are in jackets and coats – including Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan. But this jacka$$ is wearing a T-shirt.
That doesn’t make sense. He’s most likely a liberal plant. It’s one of the left’s favorite games. But it doesn’t matter to the liberal media. They’ll insist the man is a Romney supporter.
Of course, this same media couldn’t have cared less when Obama supporters were wearing racist pins at the DNC this year.
Thank you for posting.
What a stupid tempest in a tea pot this story is..
Certainly there are racists that are going to vote for Romney, just like ther are 95% black racists that are going to vote for Obama.
Candidates cannot be held responsible for what their voters wear or for their personal bigotries.
"LOL This has already been debunked! The guy was confronted, asked to leave, escorted to the parking area where he angrily dropped a few 'F' Bombs and drove off in a Camry with an Obama sticker on it. He was clearly a plant by the Obama bunch. Unbelievable."
No doubt he was wearing a coat. Which he removed just long enough for the photo to be taken, and then put back on.
I have no doubt the photographer and the plant were working together. Probably in and out of the crowd in less than five minutes.
And let us say it WASN'T a plant?
I posted this, this morning, on another social networking site:
....and a dear friend and spiritual guide (who, unfortunately, is a far-left liberal) wrote this: "thats cute...one, probably photoshopped pic indicts half of your countrymen."
He's right. First of all, yes, it does turn out to be photoshopped, but more importantly, he's right. One person does not a demographic indict.
What is good for the conservative goose, is good for the liberal gander.
where he angrily dropped a few ‘F’ Bombs.............................................Yup! He’s a Lib alright. Its the same language you find on most of their sites. It flows out of their mouths automatically.
I was having an online dual with (my last) Democrat friend (he’s in Ohio). I won this one. I scoured all of the local news coverage of the Ohio event and this guy got absolutely no mention, not in local print or local media. But surprise, surprise, this photo made into the national spotlight and simultaneously with all the Lefty sites, Huffpo, Google, yes Google, etc., etc. If this was real (or done by someone other than a leftie,) they media would have outed him and dogged him ala George Zimmerman, the youtube film producer, the ‘tea-party’ shooter, and on and on.
They will also pull more self engineered Reichstags like Denver as they start to get reallllllll desperate. Remember, they are sheer emotional beings, low on logic, sobriety and self-control.
True, the local paper didn’t carry this photo. One interesting thing - this guy is sitting down, as are the others in the picture. Everyone was standing at this rally, with the exception of those seated behind the candidates. I checked out several photos and believe this is correct.
This stuff isn't just 'Biden rude' it's criminal. Of course if the New York Times had irrefutable proof the guy was a paid 'rent a thug' member of the DNC they would cover for him. They're do cover up work for the goons who raped and murdered an American Ambassador - so we know they'd provide cover for a fake skinhead.
That said, we still need to expose these dem liars - even if only on the internet...
Yes. Pictures pictures and more pictures. Especially of faces and any tatoos/identifying marks. And especially when the person is confronted and forced to leave.
