Romney and Ryan Campaign in Ohio (Photo of man wearing racist t-shirt; DU, DKOS screen name?)
Google ^ | Friday, October 12, 2012 | Photo by Jamie Sabau

Note by Kristinn: AFP/ Getty Images took the photo so it can't be posted here. Click the source link to view the photo of a bald (skinhead) man at a Romney-Ryan rally in Lancaster, Ohio today. The man is wearing a black t-shirt with large white all-capitalized letters emblazoned on the back that says, "Put the white back in the White House."

To make sure, the man placed a Romney-Ryan sticker at the top of the back of the t-shirt. By coincidence, a wire service photographer just happened to be in a position to take his picture.

Media photographers will usually ask the name of the person they are photographing. There is no mention in the AFP description of the photo of who the man is, but he is described as a "supporter" of Mitt Romney. Also, the man's face is completely unseen because of the angle of the photo.

My guess is this a set-up by a liberal activist or union goon and the photographer.

The very fact that they will not show his face convinces me it's a false flag operation and Getty images damn well is in on it. The caption describes the individual as

"A supporter of Republican presidential candidate, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and Republican vice presidential candidate U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI)"

On exactly what evidence does the reporter know that he is a supporter or either candidate? He would appear far more likely to be a support of Barack Obama. Just my opinion. It reminds me of the doctored and staged photographs that come out the Middle East depicting Israeli "atrocities".

Let me tell you what I think is the final card Obama and co. will play: Racial unrest.

The next 30 days are going to get ugly. I hope Romney/Ryan can just hang tough.

I feel sure Ryan can, he IS of Irish descent (we love to fight, we really do love it), Romney will need his and our support!

Alinsky tactics... He advised a group of college kids to do a similar thing to George Bush Sr. in the 1970’s... They held up kkk signs or something...

This is near my hometown, and I can assure you this is a heavy Republican area. However, some were planning to protest the speech today, but not too many showed up for that. It looked like a fairly good-sized crowd from the pix I’ve seen. I didn’t go because I didn’t want to fight the crowd. They had our main highway blocked off as well as the downtown area of Lancaster, but were providing shuttle buses for the event from a site in the east end of Lancaster.

The local paper in Lancaster posted some pix of the event. You can see them at www.lancastereaglegazette.com.

I’d contribute to a reward for anyone who caught this guy’s face on camera, iphone, etc. It would be worth it to find him and expose the perp, Getty and Google. A nice hat trick.

Reminds me of the false flag stuff Jason Levin pulled on the Tea Party to make them look racist. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2490291/posts

Weird thing is, on that post is a pic of his brother, who just happens to be bald like the guy in the racist shirt.

"The mission of crashtheteaparty.org is simple. "Infiltrate and dismantle" the movement from the inside out. The group's strategy is to impersonate tea party supporters and portray them as right-wing extremists in front of the news cameras in order to discredit the cause."

Could this be the guy posing as a racist republican?

It looked from going to your LancasterEagleGazette link to be nippy there. Most folks were wearing jackets, not sleeveless shirts like the guy in the Getty photo.

I trust my gut on this, and my gut says he’s a Democrat who will vote for Obama..

And that adds to that 'he' wasn't even there!

We are only told that he was there. It's all liberal propaganda. They give us a pix and then TELL us where it was taken. It is ALL bogus meant to deceive.

Your gut is right.
