VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) -- She's only 12 years old but Ashleigh Jones is feeling the heat of this election year.

That’s because the seventh grader at New Smyrna Beach Middle School was called a racist by classmates for wearing a pro-Sarah Palin t-shirt.

Jones is volunteering at the Republican Headquarters in New Smyrna Beach. The Palin t-shirt was a gift from her fellow volunteers.

But when she wore it to school she learned just how tough politics can be.

“Some of the students were calling me racist because I was Caucasian,” she said. “I wanted the Caucasian man to win. And I told them that’s not true. It’s my freedom of speech, it’s my opinion.”

Welcome to Obama-land. Freedom of speech will be the first casualty.

And following that impeccable logic, we now know that anyone who is NOT white who votes for Obama must be a racist.

It seems to me the dems belive its gonna be a “democratic year” so they feel they can just say anything and get away with it.

I suspect his crack about ‘is Fox News part of the msm?’ to be a threat to Fox, indicating they have not supported them, they are outside of his toadies and he is alerting his ‘media’ they are on his hit list.

We are going to soon see the term COUNTER-REVOLUTIONARY make a return to the daily lexicon of American life.

And people will become fearful.

The dreaded “R” word gets thrown around so much these days that soon it will have no meaning or impact at all (and the sooner the better). Take that Murtha, you pig!

Trying to destroy Sarah Palin, attacking Joe the Plumber, ACORN, and now this? I don’t believe all Obama supporters are raving lunatics, but some will stop at nothing to get their candidate elected. I’ve never seen anything like this.

I think what’s going to happen is that in the near future if they keep pushing this racist title on us whites that we will accept it and become racists.

How early they learn to play the race card.

No, they won't. They've got about 2 1/2 more weeks to do damage, and then they're done. And Obama will become nothing but a footnote as the Dems toss him onto the Dukakis/Mondale/Kerry/Lieberman pile.
