Last day or so the interwebs have been boiling over with engineered outrage over a photo of a man at a Romney rally wearing a T-shirt reading “Put the white back in the White House. For example, this:

Conservatives Want to ‘Put the White Back in the White House’

While it’s to be expected that leftists flacks will leap to this sort of conclusion, you also get minor snippets in “news” organizations like this:

Check Out This Mitt Romney Supporter’s Horrendously Racist Fashion Statement

And this:

Offensive ‘Put the White Back in the White House’ T-shirt spotted at Romney rally

The T-shirt is apparently newsworthy. But nobody has bothered to find the guy and find out if he’s really a Romney supported… or a plant. Remember, back in 2010 when the Tea Party movement was picking up steam, there was an organized effort to do This Very Sort Of Thing… the “Crash The Tea Party” movement. I pointed it out back then:

“False Flag Operations” against the “Tea Partiers”

It seems to me far more likely that this guy went there and wore what he wore specifically to make Romney look bad. Not only does the specifics of the case suggest it, but The Plan to do just this sort of thing has been in place for *years.*

The fact that journalists are happy to report this guy as a conservative racist without actually trying to find any evidence suggesting that’s the case, when there is a well-known and active effort to fake this sort of thing for political gain, indicates that the journalistic profession… just ain’t that professional.
