BG45 Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 Since this is the unofficial RNC thread... [url="http://content.usatoday.com/communities/onpolitics/post/2012/08/gop-ejects-people-who-threw-nuts-at-camerwoman/1#.UD5m55bueSp"]GOP ejects some delegates who threw nuts at African American camerwoman saying, "This is how we feed animals".[/url] [quote] The GOP ejected two people from last night's session for allegedly throwing nuts at a black CNN camerawoman, and saying, "This is how we feed animals." "Yesterday two attendees exhibited deplorable behavior," said a Republican statement, posted by [url="http://livewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/entry/rnc-calls-incident-against-black-cnn-camerawoman-inexcusable"]Talking Points Memo[/url]. "Their conduct was inexcusable and unacceptable. This kind of behavior will not be tolerated." Security also escorted out at least two protesters who began yelling during GOP speeches at the Tuesday convention session. Their comments could barely be heard in the large arena, the Tampa Bay Times Forum. [/quote] Glad they were removed by from the venue for their wretched behavior...I wanted to vomit reading about it.

Winchester Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I find it helpful to carry a mouthpiece. When someone acts out, putting it in is disconcerting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To Jesus Through Mary Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 [quote name='BG45' timestamp='1346259473' post='2475857'] Now for the most unbiased article I could find that addresses all our points: [url="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/aug/28/republican-delegates-texas-maine-rules?newsfeed=true"]The Guardian: Republican delegates from Texas and Maine protest "power grab" rules change.[/url] Part of it: [/quote] Pretty good article IMO. The whole thing is just a time bomb. I really doubt the Tea Party and the "established" Republicans will ever really make nice. And Ron Paul's group aren't even welcome at the table (although some of his supports are wack jobs). I hope the Right can pull it together before it's took late. I don't think our country could take another 4 years. BG I was watching CNN again at the gym tonight They were covering the RNC. I don't know why I did that to myself.

BG45 Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 I hope the Right can pull it together too. No matter who is really reporting correcting on the rules, just the appearance of such discord will be awful come political ads time. Oh good grief...I'm so sorry you did that! They did seem to be in pretty bad form tonight about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
