I read through this story several times and don't understand how Yahoo decided this was a 'race incident'.

It's undoubtedly a Leftwingtard thing; you wouldn't understand.

Who let Yahoo into the Convention? Doesn't anyone in charge have any common sense?

Probably either Democrat plants or paultards. The convention is, unfortunately, overrun with paulbots this time around.

There have been several incidents where left-wingtards (probably occupy type protestors) were playing the role of Republicans getting in front of the cameras, making jerks of themselves to try to make Republicans look like idiots. MSNBC had a whole slew of them on the other night. One of those ‘what do you think’ segments. Look like they dug up any hippie who would claim he was a tea partier.

This story is sourced to a tweet by David Shuster?

David Shuster, the love child of Andrea Mithchell and Keith Olbermann?

Well. it’s gotta be true!

Because that’s what fits their narrative.

This claim against Republicans is about as valid as those "alleged" racist incidents of hanging a noose from someone's dorm room or scrawling a racial epithet in dog manure on some black person's body.

It sounds like the camera woman was not standing there alone; she probably was standing in the middle of a crowd of reporters. These people most likely were throwing nuts and directing their comments at the whole crowd, probably as a joke - but not a very good joke. They needed to be thrown out, but “race” probably had nothing to do with what they did (unless they were Democrat plants trying to make GOPers look bad).

MSNBC finds every Occupy troll and Paultard and sticks them in front of the camera.

Case in point:

“Two attendees tonight exhibited deplorable behavior. Their conduct was inexcusable and unacceptable. This kind of behavior will not be tolerated,” organizers said.”

No Free Speech at the GOP Convention.

Gosh, with all those reporters and camera crews around, you’d think that there’d be some pictures or some video tape of that incident around ... so where are they?

Looks like David Chalian had time for one last report before being fired for being a partisan hack, and this was it.

"Yahoo News"...

Maybe by “animals” they were referring to the media. This was a “setup” in as far as CNN sent a black female reporter in the convention on purpose to cry racism as soon as any white male said anything to her. What a crock of BS!

We need to be very wary of false flag operations. This smells.

If only there was an unbiased organization present that witnessed this event that could give us an unbiased report of exactly what happened - if only.

How long does it take yahoo news to start a 12000 comment race riot? Oh is it 13000 comments now?

Nobody behaves this way unless their purpose is to offend. It is irresponsible and detestable of CNN not to have pursued their duty as journalists and found out whether these were really Republicans or anti-Republican bigots pulling a stunt....are they afraid of the truth? I for one am not.

ummmm, folks...

Republicans/GOP = Elephants
Elephants eat peanuts, or so the saying goes...

What does “feeding the elephants” have to do with any particular reporters skin color?

Does anyone have that “Oh Sheesh, not this XXXX again” GIF?

So the report is forcing the connection between the alleged “animal” reference and its decision to point out the camera operator is Black?
