And what is so "inappropriate" with what was on the shirt? Since when are you the sole arbiter of appropriateness?

Yes it was wrong but at the same time was it blown out of proportion I think so. To rub someone's face in republican values such as the comment which was labeled on the shirt of Mr. O'Donnell saying "work for us now or work for us later". This election has focused on everything which is inappropriate. Which has lead people of Democratic and Republican parties to act unjust.
