Maybe by “animals” they were referring to the media. This was a “setup” in as far as CNN sent a black female reporter in the convention on purpose to cry racism as soon as any white male said anything to her. What a crock of BS!

We need to be very wary of false flag operations. This smells.

“So you support allowing people to throw food at a black reporter and talk about feeding the animals? Just trying to get a baseline of you consider acceptable behavior.”

Do you support a political party that dictates what delegates are permitted to say?

If only there was an unbiased organization present that witnessed this event that could give us an unbiased report of exactly what happened - if only.

How long does it take yahoo news to start a 12000 comment race riot? Oh is it 13000 comments now?

Welcome to freedom of association, where any loser can spout whatever he or she wants to say, but others aren't required to associate with you or give you a venue for your spouting. Would you be OK if they had been kicked out after repeatedly yelling during the speeches that the Republican Party had to support unlimited abortion on demand?

Nobody behaves this way unless their purpose is to offend. It is irresponsible and detestable of CNN not to have pursued their duty as journalists and found out whether these were really Republicans or anti-Republican bigots pulling a stunt....are they afraid of the truth? I for one am not.

ummmm, folks...

Republicans/GOP = Elephants
Elephants eat peanuts, or so the saying goes...

What does “feeding the elephants” have to do with any particular reporters skin color?

Does anyone have that “Oh Sheesh, not this XXXX again” GIF?

Of course not, but this incident has no witnesses mentioned, no video, in a building with at least a 1,000 cameras rolling.

That’s because it didn’t happen, any more than the TEA parties spit on the black delation in DC a year or so ago.

Just like that incident, they’ve been forced to make things up out of thin air, and a poor job they’re doing of it too.

No thinking person believes this story.

"Gosh, with all those reporters and camera crews around, you’d think that there’d be some pictures or some video tape of that incident around ... so where are they?"

Same place as the video of Nanzi and the CBC dorks getting spat upon and called racial epithets when they strolled across the mall a coupla years ago?

I don’t disagree. My problem was that someone was trying to make this into a free speech issue, as if people had the right to do this and not be kicked out of the convention.

So the report is forcing the connection between the alleged “animal” reference and its decision to point out the camera operator is Black?

I see you’re kind of new, welcome.

Some posts, like the one you’re referring to, are so stupid it’s better just to move on and not draw attention to them!

.
Everybody loves the media and CNN is part of the media so it had to be a ‘race incident’...

Yahoo is an MSNBC farm team. If it was some setup artists from the network big leagues, they’d have thrown bananas.

I do. I expect a party to dictate gentlemanly and professional behavior to it's delegates. Have a problem with that?
