A strange happening at the Obama campaign event at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond today. The media pool reports mentioned a woman wearing a black burka who was removed from the event. To make things more interesting, the pool reporter says the person was wearing U.S. military insignia.
From the AP:
VCU police reported that a heckler was removed from the arena, taken outside and released. A police dispatcher didn't know what the woman had yelled.
According to a White House pool report, photographers observed a woman wearing a black burka being escorted out of the gym by Richmond police and other security officials. The woman appeared to be wearing U.S. military pins and was carrying book. She cooperated with police, according to the report.
From Twitter:
Amie Parnes, White House reporter for The Hill:
As I wrote in my pool reports, a woman wearing a black burka was escorted out of the Richmond rally by police during Obama's speech.
7:26 PM - 5 May 12 via Mobile Web
Soon after that Tweet, Parnes retweeted a Tweet by West Wing Report about her pool report:
Pool reporter @AmieParnes studied pool photos of the woman. She "appears to be wearing U.S. military insignia" and "had a book in her hand"
Retweeted by Amie Parnes 7:12 PM - 5 May 12 via web
Nothing more about this so far. I haven't found the photos of the incident.

Obama prefers to wear the Burka himself.

Obama’s in luck - the MSM will pretend this never happened - and if it did happen, that it was too complicated to report on... and if it's not too complicated, then it's ‘old news’... or some such nonsense.

The Obama campaign event was crawling with media and not one has the guts to report the full details. Get up off of your knees!
OUCH!

She appeared to have a collection of U.S. military insignia pinned to her garment and a book in her hand.No pics.

I couldn't get the second picture to display, but got the first one to work. I think these might disappear from the internet, since it seems to show the Obama campaign in a bad light.
