Race incident sees Republican convention expulsions
Yahoo News ^ | August 29, 2012 | AFP

Two people were ejected from the Republican National Convention when they threw nuts at a black CNN camera woman and said "this is how we feed animals," the network said Wednesday.

"CNN can confirm there was an incident directed at an employee inside the Tampa Bay Times Forum" on Tuesday, the opening day of a gala at which former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney will accept his party's nomination to challenge President Barack Obama in November's election.

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.

This extremely suspicious, it smells, I cannot wait for the perpetrator to be IDed. I think there is an 80% chance that its a outside force and a SETUP!

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.

Correct. Racist = one who see race in everything.

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).

“SETUP!”

I wouldn’t put it past the dirty trickster Robert Gibbs. I heard he was on the convention floor last night.

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.

So you support allowing people to throw food at a black reporter and talk about feeding the animals? Just trying to get a baseline of you consider acceptable behavior.

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"...
