Two RNC attendees removed for taunting black camerawoman

Two attendees were removed from the Republican National Convention on Tuesday night after throwing nuts at an African-American camera operator for cable network CNN and taunting, "This is how we feed animals."
CNN confirmed the incident in a statement Wednesday morning.
"CNN can confirm there was an incident directed at an employee inside the Tampa Bay Times Forum earlier this afternoon," the statement read. "CNN worked with convention officials to address this matter and will have no further comment.”
It is not yet clear what role the individuals who were removed played at the convention, although organizers did confirm their ejection in a statement.
“Two attendees tonight exhibited deplorable behavior," said convention spokesman Kyle Downey. "Their conduct was inexcusable and unacceptable. This kind of behavior will not be tolerated."
Republicans had hoped that elements of their Tuesday program — including an emphasis on the economy and a prominent speaking role for former Democratic Rep. Artur Davis (Ala.), an African-American — could help boost support among blacks.
Wonder where these "intellectual Bubba delegates" were from... From past history-my first guess would be Alabama...Second would be Oklahoma or Texas ....

HIGHLIGHTS
The incident happened on Tuesday night Aug. 28, 2012 at the Tampa Bay Times Forum where GOP delegates officially nominated Mitt Romney as the Republican candidate to face President Barack Obama in the Nov. 6 election. examiner.com
It goes without saying that neither the RNC nor the convention organizers are responsible for every delegate and attendee. But the incident does not reflect well on a party that has extremely little support from the African-American population. Politico
A recent NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll found that 94 percent of African-Americans surveyed supported President Barack Obama, versus 0 percent - yes, 0 percent - who supported Mitt Romney. Politico
Convention security and police removed the two from the convention center shortly after the incident. BBC
In a statement, convention officials said the attendees had "exhibited deplorable behavior." BBC
"Their conduct was inexcusable and unacceptable. This kind of behaviour will not be tolerated." BBC
The identities of the two ejected was unclear. News broadcaster CNN confirmed the incident but had no additional comment. BBC

sadly, this is how we have come to expect the majority of republicans to act. if it would have been mike (mr. anonymous), he would have been looking for a tree branch, and dressed out in all whites with his hood on.
