VIDEO-- What IWRC* Palin's vitriol hath wrought:: 12-year-old called racist for wearing Palin tee

By GottaLaff

You wanted guilt by association, IWRC*? Here's your guilt by association:
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. [...]

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.” [...]

Officials with Volusia County Schools said there were no referrals or complaints to the office about this incident.

Ashleigh said that more of her friends are expressing their views by wearing political t-shirts and she plans to wear hers again.
When a candidate allows hate speech and bigotry, then the candidate, and her supporter, is associated with hate speech and bigotry. Sleep well, IWRC. Your vile influence has indelibly affected one little girl's life... among others.
