It's the perfect political crime...hit and run. Smear the Republicans as racist at their own convention, using CNN as the “victim”. This is likely a Paul goon or OWS loon, but we'll probably never know. But MSNBC would much rather talk about this than Mia Love. Mission accomplished.

Classic Alinsky tactic.

"College student activists in the 1960s and 1970s sought out Alinsky for advice about tactics and strategy. On one such occasion in the spring of 1972 at Tulane University’s annual week-long series of events featuring leading public figures, students asked Alinsky to help plan a protest for a scheduled speech by George Bush, then U. S. representative to the United Nations, a speech likely to be a defense of the Nixon Administrations’s Vietnam War policies [Note: the Nixon Administration was then negotiating with the North Vietnamese Communists to arrive at a peace agreement-DH] The students told Alinsky that they were thinking about picketing or disrupting Bush’s address. That’s the wrong approach, he rejoined–not very relative and besides, causing a disruption might get them thrown out of school [Not very likely-DH] He told them, instead, to go hear the speech dressed up as members of the Ku Klux Klan, and whenever Bush said something in defense of the Vietnam War, they should cheer and wave placards, reading ‘The K.K.K. supports Bush.’ And that is what the students did with very successful, attention-getting results."

Like I believe this.

OK. I call BS as well. This reminds me of when they ran with the story that John Lewis was spit on and called the N word when Tea Partiers were rallying against 0-Care.

Several features:

1. No ID of perpetrators
2. No ID of “multiple witnesses”
3. No ID of “victim”
4. No statement from “victim”
5. No statement from any of the “multiple witnesses”
6. The “victim”, a camera operator, did not get any footage of the “crime”
7. CNN reports a “statement” by the RNC, but there is no link to the statement and no attribution to any particular press office contact, etc.
8. The report comes from CNN
9. David Schuster confirmed the report in a tweet.

Yes, these last 2 are intentional. Any report by CNN or David Schuster about republicans automatically loses credibility based on their track record.

No pictures from a camerawoman... then it NEVER happened. She is black so the odds are 94% to 0% that she is a racist cracker hater. dim polling tells us this fact.

CNN at the pubbie convention?... WHY?..

Course they could have a “Jackwagon” room.. with Kool Aid refreshments..
and make them wear armbands... and Phantom of the Opera masks..
I’d pay to see that... i.e. CNN, MsNbc, Rooters etc..

Many nuts are good sources of vitamins E and B2, and are rich in protein, folate, fiber, and essential minerals such as magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, copper, and selenium.

Two spectators at the Republican National Convention

Spectators, not delegates... I say they were part of the Occupy crowd, trying to make it look like republicans were behind it.

[martinidon]

In the report it says security escorted the attendees out. Surely, they would get their names and information on their credentials. We need to know who these dirt bags are. If they are with the RNC they need to booted out and sent home. But I am guessing they are plants. This election is going to be about race and it is all planned.

[Joe Boucher]

The one I like is when soccer hooligans throw bananas at opposing black soccer players.
Ok so that doesn’t help now does it?

[puppypusher]

I say prove it to CNN.If they have the alleged incident on video they should show it.

It’s time for them to put up or shut up.

[Tigercap]

This sounds as phoney as when dem members of congress said they were called racist names. Truth finally, and without much media coverage, came out that it was made up.

Or, the gay individuals that said they were beaten in hate crimes, and then it’s discovered they bruised themselves.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Sounds like the Code Pink protestors got in.

[philman_36]

The story was first extensively reported by Talking Points Memo.
Wow! Perhaps Brett LoGiurato should have wrote about some other details...

In the "Did You Know That..." column...and right from Talking Points Memo...

RNC Attendee Allegedly Threw Nuts At Black CNN Camerawoman, Said ‘This Is How We Feed Animals’
The CNN official declined to confirm specific details of the incident to TPM but generally confirmed an account posted on Twitter by former MSNBC and Current anchor David Shuster: “GOP attendee ejected for throwing nuts at African American CNN camera woman + saying ‘This is how we feed animals.’”

Once again - it’s all about race to these posers.

If true (I doubt it, but *if*...) - then maybe the peanuts were thrown and the names were called because the guy was a “CNN EMPLOYEE”. His blackness was just coincidental. ??

Makes sense to me. When will these shallow lemmings ever be able to discuss real issues and see past physical differences?

[davius]

So many questions...Shelled or unshelled? Roasted or raw? Boiled or green? Salted or unsalted? Heirloom or hybrid? Crunchy or smooth? Bacon or halal? Code Pink or SEIU?

[FlingWingFlyer]

I’m pretty sure they would have thrown the nuts at a WHITE CNN employee and said the same thing. It’s CNN not someone’s skin tone that was the target here.
