Not surprised here. Hitler did the same thing with indoctrinating young children towards people he didn't like.

VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) -- 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.

But when she wore it to school she learned just how tough politics can be.

“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.”

Jones' parents say they aren't mad at the school they just want everyone including their daughter to voice their opinion constructively.

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.

You want to go there? You really think there haven't been more kids harassed for supporting the black candidate?

Stop making mountains out of molehills. It's pathetic.

Not fair to that little girl but when you consider the rhetoric from Palinistas (like the ones in the video below), you can see why people think that about Palin supporters.

A) Don't bring Hitler into it. It erases any credibility you might have had.
B) This was reported yesterday and there is a thread several pages long existing on it already.

Big diff. I'm talking about 12 year olds, not adults as in the video.

Why, the Dems have been comparing Bush to Hitler for 8 years.

Besides can you prove me wrong that Hitler didn't do this?
