Everyone involved confirms the incident. Curious there is no video or photos, though. Also, still no IDs of the perps. My opinion is they were lefty infiltrators trying to make the GOP look bad.

News crew there for the express purpose of broadcasting the event and they didn’t get it on tape? Nothing? No snap shots?

Liars. This is your modern DNC press. Frauds and hoaxsters.

From the website that is reporting this, “about” page:

A Rich History of Training

The institute has a history of training and placing more nonwhite journalists than any other single institution in the country. Through the 1970s and 1980s, more than 200 were trained and placed through the institute’s flagship, Summer Program for Minority Journalists (SPMJ), held at the University of California, Berkeley. Since 1980, almost 200 journalists of color trained for advancement to editing desks at the six-week Editing Program, located in 2000 to the Graduate School of Journalism at the University of California, Berkeley, from its original home at the University of Arizona Journalism Department.

she does not want her situation to be used for political advantage.

"You come to places like this, you can count the black people on your hand. They see us doing things they don't think I should do."

Carroll noted of the Republican convention, "There are not that many black women there."

The column also appears on theRoot.com, and he writes about diversity issues and the Internet for the Web site of Poynter Institute, the school for journalists in St. Petersburg, Fla.

He continues to moderate the NABJ’s listserve, and hosts a monthly dinner roundtable to facilitate networking among Washington, D.C., journalists.

From its 2002 founding until 2007, Prince edited the Black College Wire, a news service for black college students (www.blackcollegewire.org) that aims to improve college newspapers and increase their frequency of publication.

Prince was an editorial writer and columnist at the Democrat and Chronicle in Rochester, N.Y., where he worked from 1979 to 1994. There, he became a founding member of the William Monroe Trotter Group, an association of African American newspaper columnists for which he helps maintain a presence on the Web.

He has also worked in investigative journalism, editing The Public i, an online news report produced by the Center for Public Integrity in Washington, D.C., from 1999 to 2001. Prior to that, in another foray into the nonprofit world, he worked at Communities In Schools, a nonprofit that helps keep kids in school.

Prince worked part time as a copy editor at the Washington Post from 1999 to 2008. That service follows time there as a reporter, from 1968 to 1977, when he covered local news. He is a native of New York City, having grown up there and on Long Island, and a graduate of New York University.

Carroll, who agreed to be named for the first time, said she does not want her situation to be used for political advantage. "This situation could happen to me at the Democratic convention or standing on the street corner. Racism is a global issue," she said by telephone from Tampa.

Um, no, Patricia. You'd have to be a member of an honor guard for it to happen at a DemocRAT convention, and it would be spit not peanuts sent your way.

Well OF COURSE it's racist. I mean why else would there be peanuts on hand at the GOP convention if not to throw at black camerawomen?

Sure honey. I might have been born at night, but it wasn't last night.

"This is Florida, and I'm from the Deep South," she said. "You come to places like this, you can count the black people on your hand. They see us doing things they don't think I should do."

Didn't take you long to play the race card did it?

Since the so called perps were thrown out I’m not sure what the story line is.

Without condoning the incident, I wouldn’t be surprised if it had less to do with being a black woman and more to do with being a CNN camera person.
