Full Title: RNC Attendee Tossed for Allegedly Throwing Peanuts at Black CNN Camerawoman and Yelling ‘This Is How We Feed Animals’

Sometime Tuesday afternoon, an attendee at the Republican National Convention in Tampa threw peanuts at a black female CNN camerawoman and shouted at her "This is how we feed animals," according to David Schuster of Take Action News, who's attending the RNC and first reported the incident on Twitter. CNN confirmed to Talking Points Memo that an incident indeed occurred and that a person was booted from the convention, although the identity of both the CNN worker and the person who made the slur (and may have also committed an assault) has not yet been revealed. CNN wrote in a brief statement to Talking Points Memo: “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.” Update: The Secret Service, which has jurisdiction inside the convention venue, told the Washington Post that it's referring questions about the incident to the Republican National Committee. In other words, it's horrible, but not criminal.

Yeah, I’m guessing this one gets a paycheck from CNN.

Too little facts; too many fiction.

I think both of those comments are entirely valid, and either one could absolutely be the case, if not both.

Come visit with us over at FreeRepublic's "Word For The Day" which, by coincidence, happens to be false flag today.

Clearly not all of the leftist protesters trying to make the GOP look bad are outside holding signs.

I’ve been wondering about the Ron Paul people too. On one hand, I don’t like how the Republicans changed the rules at the last minute. Boehner is known to be weak and back stabs conservatives.... but on the other hand, I remember what the Ron Paul supporters did at the Washington State caucus. They were unruly and tried to take over the event.

Ever since then, I’ve been wondering if some of Ron Paul supporters aren’t nothing but dem operatives trying to lead the group into split away from the GOP?

But then the GOP hasn’t really been all that either...

My bet is that some drunken conventioneer was tossing peanuts at everyone and everthing (including the camera person) and the “this is what we do to animals” comment was just made up.

Same with Oregon, RP gets 5% of the vote and then nearly all of the Delegates are his. They have figured out a weakness in the system and are exploiting it. If a candidate wins the state he should get the delegates.

They basically stuffed the ballot box by voting in a group for their delegates and the rest of the real PCPs were spread out over numerous other delegates and were outvoted. So everyone who voted for anyone other than RP didn’t count.

Unless I see it on tape, it didn't happen. (and I would say if it had been taped it would already be on every news channel and youtube). Until then it's just another manufactured story...

“Attendee” — that could mean anything. Chris Matthews was an attendee. My bet is that it was him.

Having been out on the streets with people mostly of a like mind, I can state emphatically that there are people on our side who don’t have a fricken clue when it comes to how to act in public. Try telling them that their sign is going to turn people off to our cause, or that using foul language is going to do the same thing. “Who are you to tell me, da da da...”

None of us like CNN, so some nimrod gets the idea he can give them a hard time on the convention floor. Look, this may be a plant, but it’s my take it’s that idiot 0.001% percenter, that none of us identifies with, and will be used by the Left as the poster boy of who we truly are.

No bedrock Conservative is going to address CNN bias by tossing peanuts at a black individual saying that’s how we feed animals. It’s not who we are.

Is there the fringe win-nut among us? There’s a fringe wing-nut in every cause. Some people are just idiots. Who knew?

Why do they add that she is black? That seems irrelevant. Are they race baiting?

This is just a meme created by the msm to counteract the dazzling national debut of Mia Love...
