Let me start by saying, I am NOT labeling every delegate that is in Tampa right now. I will say that if the GOP leadership quietly accepts the behavior of this woman they will show that they are either:

a. Accepting of this kind of behavior.
b. Afraid of the members of their party that engage in this behavior.
c. Racist to the core & really don't care GOP members do to minorities.

IMHO, ejecting the female attendee is not enough because her behavior has been made public.

David Shuster is tweeting that a woman was thrown out of the GOP Convention for tossing nuts at an African-American CNN camerawoman, saying, “this is how we feed animals.”

CNN posted a written statement saying, “CNN can confirm there was an incident directed at an employee inside the Tampa Bay Times Forum earlier this afternoon. CNN worked with convention officials to address this matter and will have no further comment.”

Republicans are seeing themselves facing an uphill battle in attracting the African-American vote. A recent poll shows them with 0% support among the African-American community. Several minority speakers have spoken or are scheduled to speak at the GOP convention, but incidents like this can’t help with the perception that the Republican party is anything but inclusive.

More significantly than the blatant racism shown by that attendee is the more subtle, institutionalized racism that is part of the Republican strategy. The Republicans in charge of voting may or may not have personal issues with African-Americans, but they stand to lose if Black people vote. Call it voter fraud prevention, call it voter ID drives, call it whatever you want, it’s all an effort to prevent African-American people from voting and the GOP admits it.

cnn polls are bias at best. There are many black churches that are standing up against bama, so cnn's poll is a flat out lie.
cnn realizes that if they keep repeating lies, bama's sheeple will believe it without checking facts.

I heard a black Bishop of a black Church says they stand with Romney and didn't like it when Romney flip flop and support the gay marriage,
Many blacks are for one woman and one man.....

Davis and Love gave great speeches and the Obama media did not cover it.
They are afraid the Blacks will learn the truth...

That's because the media knows the actual facts, even though they seem to be working harder and harder to avoid letting the public know them. The majority of people who oppose President Obama seem to do so because they believe one or more of the lies that the media has spread - like the birthers, like "the stimulus failed", like "out of control spending", like "Obama wants to take everyone's guns away", etc. etc. If every voter in America could have the actual facts and be assured that they are accurate I doubt Romney would get 10% of the vote. That's why his entire campaign seems to be dedicated to perpetuating false information about the President and avoiding any real information about Romney.

No, you don't scare me in the least. When I block someone it's because they have either:

1. Blocked me first.
2. Bad-mouthed/attacked my family.
3. Attacked/denigrated my name.

By calling me a "DiMs" (whatever that is but it don't feel good) fits the criteria set forth. BTW, I'm an Independent!

Wanting someone to win doesn't automatically mean anyone is biased. I'm sure Walter Cronkite voted in every election when he was alive, but you'd never know from his broadcasts who he supported.

I think for many on the Right, it simply is hard to believe that anyone could be as crass as this because I know that many of you are not. But let's face it, race is a very dominant part of our society and it most definitely has been an underlying factor the last four years. Had it not been so, we would not have been seeing such contempt and utter vitriol that has been leveled at this President. Sure you can dislike a President, I sure didn't think much of GW, but I never took it to him personally, only to his incompetent mis-governing.

But there is a reason for 0% approval from minorities, Romney and the extreme right have earned it, and it has flowed down into those who follow them.

But 0% approval for Romney is a lie. There are many that support him.

Be that as it may, and I'm not saying you're wrong (that there is support from the African American community), but this incident no matter how much you deny it, sugar coat it, try turn it back to the Dems, its there in all of its ugliness and its a fact that you simply cannot be able to dispute or discount.

I am so saddened that this question was even posted. There is no credible source, if you google this, that will confirm that this in fact happened. CNN isn't talking but you can bet your sweet bippy that if this did occur they would have it broadcasting non stop.

Let's say someone did do this.....it is one person. 99.9% of the other attendees had nothing to do with it.

I do not believe this happened. I really do not.

Things like this being spread around the internet are disgraceful. It certainly does not help race relations in the least.

I agree betz..Did you know the Obama media did not cover any of the Black conservatives speeches.. Mia Love knock it out of the ball park, so did Davis.
Ann didn't mention Obama's name and she gave a warm sincere speech and the Liberals are knocking her speech said..She stab Obama..What? So many lies form the radical left Media.

BTW...The Obama media don't want their Black audience to learn the real truth..

Were you aware that Artur Davis officially seconded President Obama’s nominationat the 2008 Democratic convention? He finally saw the light. He said that he will cap a remarkable political metamorphosis by addressing the Republican convention this month — calling for Obama’s defeat. We welcome you Mr. Davis and are glad you are here.

Betz, there is confirmation & David Shuster updated his Twitter feed after he got more information to include that there were 2 people involved in this awful incident.

I hope you know me well enough to know that I would check out the facts before posting on SH. I'm not like certain management members & their sock account(s).
