Daily Mail: Faking It

It's a favourite trick/tactic for those with obnoxious right-wing views to try to portray others with obnoxious right-wing views as the real and really nasty extremists.
Witness how the Mail have hyped up this story.
Nigel Farage has had his photo taken shaken hands with an UKIP local election candidate who "liked" an EDL page on Facebook.
Gosh. Whodathunkit?
And a Ukip candidate in the local elections has posted some homophobic comments online.*
Golly gosh!
If you want to damn Ukip, why flip your wig over comments made by one of their almost insignificant and mostly unelectable 1,700 local election candidates - they're so desperate for these they'd let a horse stand - when you only have to point out the party's declared policies?
And if you want to see some pro-EDL or pro-Ukip and anti-gay comments posted online, why not just check the readers' comments sections on Mail Online? 

* This sort of story is much-loved by the more politically wanky and dubious sections of the gay media, of course. 
"Waah! A bad man called me a nasty name!"
Here's the post by Ukip candidate John Sullivan on sports and homosexuality that many seem to be excited by (Click to enlarge etc), though most just think it's ridiculous and laughable.
If people are getting angry about this daft old bugger (sic) - as some gaybores are on Twitter, inevitably - then I fear for the politic of this country.
