UPDATE: CNN Camerawoman Says Convention Incident Should Be Wake-Up Call: Report (barf)

Deadline ^

[TigerClaws]

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.”

So we have rumors like this, but we have proof of voter intimidation by the Black Panthers, and comments along the lines of ‘you're going to be ruled by a black man’, but Obama’s DOJ head refused to pursue and prosecute. Where was the outrage about that, and why are we even discussing this bs?

[Venturer]

Whats the big deal Sweetheart, Blacks threw Oreo’s at Michael Steele.

I guess that wasn’t racist, and it wasn’t Florida either.

Besides where are the videos of it that you took.

[chris37]

Well, I don’t know why we are discussing it. It most certainly is BS.

I want to know why these people who were allegedly ejected have not been tracked down and interviewed by the media.

I want to know why the media is all over this like stank on ****.

I want to know why these people haven’t been charged with hate crimes.

Who are they, what is their actual history? Why were they there?

[El Cid]

Wake up call that she wants more peanuts?
Somebody send her a can of Planters.
Did she provide a description of the perp?
He was wearing a top-hat and a monocle, and brandishing a cane you say?

[Clock King]

Who are the people who actually did this? No one has talked/arrested them?

[Pining_4_TX]

I agree. This has to be as phony as the made up assault on the lesbian in NE.

[heartwood]

If Code Pink can get in and carry on, then race-baiting peanut-throwing plants can get in and make trouble too.

“This thing is a lying racist... the event NEVER happened.”

We will be bombarded with this “pseudo-news” crap right up until the election; this is what this race has come down to.

I’m so glad Juan McCain played nice 4 years ago; he is a Judas to his country (and I don’t care what he did years before I was born).

Well juan mcnasty crashed three jets... once he had a carrier landing and one of his missiles went off and set a fire and killed many Sailors... then he got himself captured. If his daddy hadn't been the Admiral in charge of the fleet... well you get the picture.
