The GOP Convention MegaMittensThread!

[CountDeMoney]

I wonder how many times Ann's going to address the convention as "you people"?

[derspiess]

She started out a little rough but really hit her stride a couple minutes into it.

[CountDeMoney]

I had to turn her off, man;  the saccharine phoniness was more than I could take, what with Tab being off the market for so long.

Jesus, they're still running that "We built this" thing into the ground.  Gotta love feeding the groundlings.

Really? You're using South Carolina as premier example of industry?  Really?

We have a Boeing facility!  Nothing cool, I'm afraid.  However, my employers are well into the process of stripping jobs away from the North, where people are Actually Paid.

You're one to talk. 

[Martinus]

The Log Cabin Republicans are such a joke.

I don't drive bad syntax into the ground.

Police at the Republican National Convention on Tuesday removed two people who threw nuts at a black CNN camerawoman and said, "This is how we feed animals."

"Two attendees tonight exhibited deplorable behavior," the convention said in a statement. "Their conduct was inexcusable and unacceptable. This kind of behavior will not be tolerated."

CNN said in a statement that it "worked with convention officials to address this matter" but said it would not comment further.

It is unclear whether the people who taunted the camera operator were delegates or were attending the convention in another capacity. The names of the people removed have not been released by police or convention officials.


At last someone takes a stand against the liberal biased mainstream media. Just a conicidence that the camarawoman was black.

I've seen this story floating around the web today, but I fail to see how it is much of a story.  Individual members of either party can be racist idiots.

[Gups]

Of course its a story. Whether it says much about the GOP is another matter, depending on the kind of responses we see.

[CountDeMoney]

I ain't sayin' nuffin.

[DGuller]

Agreed.  I can see this just easily happening in the Democratic convention.

How? Except for possibly a few kooks, what politician would ever not reject such an act?

[Gups]

It's not just politicians who make up a party.

[Razgovory]

It would be more innocent if the GOP didn't deliberately court these people.
