UPDATE THURSDAY 4:55 PM: The CNN camerawoman who was pelted with peanuts by attendees at the GOP Convention in Tampa yesterday has told Journal-isms that she was not surprised by the incident and that it should serve as a wake-up call to black people. “This is Florida, and I’m from the Deep South. You come to places like this, you can count the black people on your hand. They see us doing things they don’t think I should do,” she said. Two people were removed from the arena yesterday after they threw peanuts at the camera operator, while saying to her, “This is how we feed the animals.”

If this was real it would be wall to wall 24 hour coverage on MSNBC et al. It is not..
Still waiting for some proof, any proof no matter how small . . . a name . . . names . . . video perhaps (she did have a video camera, didn’t she?) . . . something somewhere . . . even a damn sound bite . . . Nothing? She’s a total ass and a racist trouble maker!
I read it inn Esquire, it has to be true.
A more qualified person to have peanuts thrown at them did not get their job because of her. Enjoy the free peanuts and stfu.
If all Obama has are two idiots throwing peanuts at an African-American female cameraman saying that’s how “we treat animals”, one would think one would ask who “we” are? Just because those people were inside the convention center does not mean they were either delegates or guests or even Republicans.
Yep, it was probably Fluke and Debbie wasserman schultz.
Since she doesn't, dollars to doughnut holes she's lying.
IF true...and that’s doubtful, it is probably because CNN is a borderline circus act, and not a serious media outlet. It likely would not be anythng to do with race. Media should be scorned for their conduct. Throwing things is not appropriate, but I assure more than a few would be tempted to somehow protest if that close.
From Refounders on Facebook
Posts are being put up on several Facebook pages which claim “Republicans Throw Nuts At Black Woman” The source of this is from “Vote 4 America” an Obama backing website. The lamestream media would be all over this one if true. Here is url to original source. http://voice4america.com/articles/2012/08/30/republicans-throw-nuts-at-black-woman.html
(she did have a video camera, didn’t she?)
Not just her, She was in an arena where EVERYONE had an iPhone, iPod, camera, etc... It is the Republican National Convention!!! I would imagine that at the very least 50% of the people in her immediate vicinity had some form or recording device and no one caught anything on video?? I know they think we are stupid...but not THAT stupid.
It’s all over Facebook. Deadline replaced Vsriety as the main trade publication and they just posted the story.
Retraction request??
Strange, I can’t find any mention of it at CNN.COM. If this was real, you’d think they’d at least mention it somewhere.....
This thing is a lying racist... the event NEVER happened.
LLS
Speak engrish?
There's no doubt in my mind.
BBC says it was CNN reporters. You would think CNN would be tripping over themselves to go 24/7 wall to wall with the story.

Why wasn’t this filmed?
If this was legit, they would run this form now until the end of recorded time?
Why aren’t those who were ejected identified?
“This is Florida, and I’m from the Deep South. You come to places like this, you can count the black people on your hand. They see us doing things they don’t think I should do,” she said.
Racist slut.
