Last week, a photo of two hats from the presidential campaigns made its way around Facebook and the internet. On the left was a supposed Mitt Romney hat “made in China” and on the right was an Obama campaign hat “made in the United States”. This photo was meant to prove that Mitt Romney so likes to outsource jobs to China, he even has his campaign hats made there. See? See? He’s a terrible American. Except that he’s not and the hat was a fake.
The company charged with making Mitt Romney’s campaign hats, a local Colorado company, has responded to the charge on Facebook. Rachel Polner, a Mitt Romney fan, and her family make the official Romney campaign hats. A loyal Peak reader sent us Polner’s status update when they noticed it was going viral. Here is what Polner had to say about the counterfeit hats that Obama fans used for the photo:
“This is a total and absolute fraud. It’s like comparing a real iPhone and a counterfeit one. The Romney/Ryan hat on the left was not authorized by the Romney campaign. It is bought by some greedy person that wants to make some extra bucks during the election. My guess is there were Obama hats there also made in China but because it doesn’t fit with the story this person wants to tell, they don’t show that. How do I know this you might ask? Well first of all, you will not find this hat anywhere on the official campaign store. Second, I actually make the official hats for the campaign and if you try to say that we’re not 100% USA made, well then I have some ocean front property to sell you in Arizona. Everybody can vote for whomever they choose but to use blatant lies to try to discredit a candidate and the people who work with that campaign is just dirty and unethical.”
Polner is right, the smear attempt is unethical. Unfortunately, sometimes politics gets ugly. But, for today, Polner is our hero for standing up to the left’s lies. Hats off to you, Polner family!
But, will the Denver Post report on the slander of this Colorado family business? …Bueller? …Bueller?
Looking back at the election……it was disgusting how a decent man was demonized and lied about THEN but seeing how we were cheated out of a great leader because of those lies and false, biased reporting is even more disgusting. Think of how different this country would be if the media and the left were not so conniving and evil. We are doing our best to wade through the crap that Obama has created. 2017 can't come fast enough….but am I dreaming that it will be any different this time around?
Hahahahaha
Karen Smith Krot -READ UCLA pli sci Prof Tim Grossclose book "Left Turns-How The Liberal Media Distorts The American Mind" for proof of the medias' Leftist turpitude! Grossclose got an endowed chair for his work at UCLA, after turning down offers from Chicago, Harvard, and Yale.
It's funny the comment by b.sisco10 " liberals don't even know the government can't create jobs"…..seems like someone forgot their daily Republican brainwashing theme that Romney "has a plan to create 12 million new jobs"! If Jason is the problem with sending jobs overseas, it is the ignorant American that cannot "see the forest through the trees" for exactly what Romney stands for. Pathetic post. But, I'm sure you did your homework beforehand!
Oh….I hope Romney ships all those low paying jobs overseas and keeps the high paying jobs here.
But, Jason, I'm sure you're a fan that Obama is helping "create" new low paying jobs as the higher paying jobs are leaving the economy.
The liberal lie about "shipping jobs overseas" merely shows how little liberals know about economics. In fact, liberals don't even know that government can't "create" jobs, it can only destroy private sector investment in jobs.
Minimum wage laws and Union contracts have caused manufacturing jobs to leave our shores in droves. The exact policy's you support have led to the removal of jobs. So, Jason, you are a job killer. Everything you stand for has resulted in more jobs being lost, more people on unemployment, more people requesting food stamps, greater deficit spending and an overall decline in the American culture.
When people are paid to post on boards to help "sway" the conversation, they are referred to as "Trolls"…….. Al. And, as a typical liberal lier, here's a quote from "The Economist" that shows you lie…….
"Women make up 49% of China's population and 46% of its labour force, a higher proportion than in many Western countries. In large part that is because Mao Zedong, who famously said that “women hold up half the sky”,"

Jason, typical Lib, when truth comes out all they can do is go to name calling.
One thing about Oblamer ads, is that you know what he's done over the past four years.. Because he's blaming Romney for doing all the bad stuff and he's taking credit for things that he signed but didn't happen (lilly Ledbetter) or credit for things someone else did (Iraq withdrawal date was negotiated by the Bush administration).. But because Oblamer announced it, the US got "Kicked" out of Iraq..
Except the same hat is for sale at the Memphis field office – http://www.flickr.com/photos/87660528@N04/8023729846/sizes/l/in/photostream/.
Well, if the Volt is their only hope of pulling it together, I can see why.
GM is close to going bankrupt again too
very true
So does Obama. You may have heard of a little known Taxpayer bailed out auto manufacturer .. GM… Has significant operations outside the US.
Depressing :/
there is not much truth in reporting anymore. There are no journalists only news readers and spinners. It used to be that we were given the facts and left to make our opinions from them, now they slant everything.
I don't really care where a hat is made but it was funny and when it comes down to the point it came across. Romney does and will ship jobs over seas, he's a business man, not a politician. If elected I'd be happier to see four more of the awful W years. He's hoping all the racists wake up pissed Weds AM next week. Official Romney stuff, please.
Romney wouldn't dare have his campaign hats made in China. 80% of the factory workforce is female. He'd have to get a bunch more binders and that would be wasteful spending, now, wouldn't it?
Ha, liberal media lies again.
I just got disgusted……they are supposed to report the NEWS, not just the news they want us to believe.
I told my son the other day that I'm considering cancelling my subscription to the free press as they are too liberal
I just cancelled my subscription to the Denver Post after almost 32 years because of its bias to the left. Don't expect the truth about this hat story to be reported by that leftie rag! Thanks for standing up to these lies, Polner family!
I know my Romney merchandise is made in the United States. I do not know about obama stuff, I do not own any of that garbage!
