A photograph taken by Getty Images on Friday of a man wearing a racist t-shirt at a Mitt Romney rally in Ohio has caused controversy over Getty’s unsubstantiated claim the man is a supporter of the Republican presidential nominee.
The photo showed a tight shot of the back of a bald-headed white man wearing a black t-shirt emblazoned with all-capitalized white lettering that said, “Put the white back in the White House.” Above the lettering at the nape of the man’s neck a Romney-Ryan sticker was neatly applied to the t-shirt.
Getty captioned the photo:
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)
A Getty representative speaking not for attribution told Breitbart the photographer did not speak with the man wearing the t-shirt and that he did not know with certainty the man was a Romney supporter. The representative did not know whether Getty would run a correction for the caption.
While liberals online pointed to the photograph as proof of racism among Romney supporters, conservatives wondered whether the man was a plant trying to make Romney look bad.
When Tea Party street activism was at its height, a movement called Crash the Tea Party was formed to infiltrate Tea Party rallies with liberal activists who would create bad optics for the Tea Party by acting out for the media liberal stereotypes of conservatives.

Huffington Post is poisoning race relations and relations between liberals and conservatives with an unsupported charge of racism. This has gone viral and has not been adequately addressed by our side.
Here's another "RACIST" T-shirt. It is... horror of horrors... WHITE!
Is this one person in a rally of 10,000?
So?
Let’s say its true, so what?
obama supporters wear t-shirts that say kill Republicans.

How does one adequately address absurdity?
Where in the meta data does it say it was taken in January? I see everything except the date it was taken.

I Ahole does this with no proof that he is a Romney supporter and these bigots try to paint the whole party as racist. Occupy Wall Street did some pretty unsavory things with the full support of Obama and the Democrats and they claim those were isolated acts.,
Yet but the Romney sticker is blurry, and so is the lettering on the shirt.
I think they call this 'fake but accurate'.
As I said earlier, I don’t have a way to look at the metadata now.
So, I don’t know if the claim is true or not. If you aren’t finding the date, then I guess the claim isn’t true.
The giveaways are the 2 E’s (last 2 lines) on the right side. They do not follow the bend of the fabric.
When I heard that Bath-House Barry’s campaign location got its window shattered, I KNEW it was a democrat—turns out, I was right.
A democrat shot G. Giffords...a democrat vandalized his own campaign sign in Georgia...democrats do it ALL THE TIME.

feh...
Again, I ask, what is their proof that this was even at the rally?
Exactly. Romney can no more control what someone wears at one of his rallies than Obama can at one of his. This is a ridiculous non-issue.
