12-Year-Old Called Racist Because Of McCain/Palin Shirt

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

Now, I don't know if this was a setup or not. Meaning, maybe she wore the shirt hoping something like this would happen. I don't know, but the fact that it did happen really shows how far we've fallen as a society. Just because you support a candidate, who's white, over one, who's black, you're seen as a racist by some is scary. It's almost as if some see it as our obligation to support and vote Obama into power next month and if you don't it's because you hate black people. But this is nothing new. Republicans have been called things like racist or Nazi or neo-con for years. We're use to it. We've come to expect it. But this shows it's starting earlier. 12-year-old kids. Something tells me some of them are getting this from their parents.
