RNC Visitor Booted For Throwing Nuts At Black Camerawoman, Saying "This Is How We Feed Animals"

The liberal rag paper at it again, stick to stories about Gay and Lesbian parties better

@William, Biden was called on his offensive remark . . .and how is throwing something mis-speaking?

@Alex, I'm not spinning anything. You're reaching big time and taking this out of context. What source is that anyway?? They even admitted it in your article despite the desperate need to find a racist undertone: "[Paul supporters] were protesting a decision by RNC officials not to seat members of the Maine delegation." Get a grip already.

So the Republicans don't like niggers, what else is new?

@Jason, way to try to spin that one though : http://www.harpers.org/archive/2012/08/hbc-90008805

Shawn Gordon, nice try, but AP style is to lowercase "black" as a racial signifier, as well as "white." See this enlightening Poynter discussion for some background on why that standard developed: http://www.poynter.org/how-tos/newsgathering-storytelling/diversity-at-work/17270/black-black-or-african-american/

you know!! as unbelievable as it may sound I'm not surprised, ignorance and stupidity knows no bounds!!!

LOL @Alex: they weren't booing the lady, they were booing the RNC because of what they did to Ron Paul. Way to try to spin that one though.. good grief!

Who is "they"?

I guess all of you trying to stand up for republicans missed what they did when the lady from PR tried to speak...

Huh, What ? I guess it's because of all those nut eating African monkeys we see on Animal Planet or in National Geographic ? Must really be offended on the flight to the RNC, they probrably served her nutz and a soda ?

Well to be fair, I don't feed animals by throwing food like substances at them; I put it in a bowl... "animals" I think has several contexts. When I'm in a crowded space, rather space crowded with people, like a mall, I have said, "It's a zoo." I guess I need to watch those sweeping generalizations. Also, the author of the article, when using "Black" as an ethnic identifier, did not treat it as a proper noun and capitalize it... I guess it's much easier for me to just say that the author and editor (defacto, the paper - general improper form notwithstanding) is racist, than it is to say it was a typo and there is an obvious lack of amateur writing style throughout; it's a published blog, which is like saying crayon drawings on a refrigerator are published works of art... @ Eugene Buck - they weren't explicitly racist either. The point is, throwing something at someone isn't racist. In fact, the only reason anyone thought to make the action about race is because they guy throwing this was white, at a non-white. Construing in a way that is racist, is racist... ...and people question why I don't read or watch American mass media...or their unvetted parrots.

^^^^ William for the win

I guess Joe Bidens comments were not racist. This is the bullshit double standard with you democrats. It's only racist if the GOP or anyone related to it does it. But if a democrat, and vice president at that says it, its ok, he miss spoke. Bunch of hypocrites. Now dance puppets!

I think the best thing we can all do is eat the bullshit the media feeds us and talk about everything but what actually effects us and what matters. When you don't have a record to run on, thats what you do.

So the Republicans are being labeled a racist just by one persons actions? Then I guess it's safe to say the Dems are nothing but a bunch of Homo Loving Commies

@Giovanni so this is acceptable behavior because, even though he called her an animal and threw stuff at her, the things he threw wasn't implicitly racist?

early voting, not a bad idea

You cant expect the GOP to control all their crazies. I mean, they are so crazy they get racism wrong. Peanuts? are you trying to say she is an elephant? Anyway, my advice? Ignore this story. Vote during early voting so that others dont have to deal with long lines on election day. During early voting it is really easy to vote during your lunch hour. Bring some coworkers vote, go back to lunch and blamo...done. then after you vote make sure everybody else votes. That's it. everything else is noise. What matters is the actual votes on election day. BTW this goes to both parties and yes the democrats have crazies of their own, they dont tend to be racist, but they have crazies nonetheless. So everybody, what are we doing? voting early!

Are you kidding? How disgusting.

Smells like this was set up.

Is this the news now? Oh ok. Dance puppets

Is Spike Lee going to tweet this fools address?

insane

He is the only one who made public what the vast mayority of this group REALLY feels towards black people.

If He Threw Cotton I be More Offened. The Rnc Mascot is a freaking elephant. Thats why they have peanuts. maybe she was a papparrazzi democrat :-)

This is sad.

I'm not surprised one bit.

good luck talking their way out of this one..

All you can do is laugh.

I mean really? Who's surprised by this?
