Look, if you don't want to be singled out in public, don't run or be elected to public office, don't be an affiliate member of a suspect organization (membership is an endorsement of doctrine),  don't openly expose yourself in a publicity stunt, and don't complain when you get the attention your looking for! Furthermore, if you are going to do these things, be respectful of the opposition, the audience and show a level of class. No-one is innocent here.
