RNC attendees throw nuts at black anchorwoman, saying, "this is how we feed animals."

Do you live in a black neighborhood? if not, why? With that logic we could say the same about you.

That would be sophistry, not logic.

I was nowhere near the incident, so diverting attention from what happened really does not serve the discussion.

It's the only thing he knows. He pulled that same line on me yesterday. Crashed and burned on that one, too. He likes crashing and burning.

A simple yes or no would certainly further the discussion.

Not really. Either would have dignified the question.

Has anyone heard any updates to the story? It would be deplorable if it were two liberals trying to stir the pot, but that seems unlikely.

You know what the Bible says about bearing false witness.

That the RNC swept it under the rug ought to give you some indication...

CNN camerawoman speaks about RNC flap

The black CNN camerawoman who had nuts thrown at her at the Republican National Convention said she's "not surprised" by the incident.

"This is Florida, and I'm from the Deep South," Alabama native Patricia Carroll told journalist Richard Prince of the Maynard Institute. "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, 34, was doing her job inside the Tampa Bay Times Forum on Tuesday when two RNC attendees threw nuts at her and said: "This is how we feed animals." They were immediately removed from the forum and were later ejected from the convention, according to media reports.

Carroll said CNN has supported her throughout. And she told Prince that this "could happen to me at the Democratic convention or standing on the street corner. Racism is a global issue."

This should be a wake-up call, she said.

"People were living in euphoria for a while," she told Prince. "People think we've gone further than we have."

With about 90% of the media firmly in the liberal corner I don't think they are going to sweep anything under the rug. I can promise there is more to this or the Media would be all over it.

Media liberal bias is a fallacy. Always was and always will be. We didn't get into left-wing, right-wing propaganda disguised as news outlets until Murdoch appointed a Republican strategist to be in charge of his news station. A man with no background in journalism. Murdoch turned the cable news into a propaganda machine, unequaled in the modern world except in totalitarian regimes.

The organizers of the convention swept the whole thing under the rug. Not even Fox is being allowed to report on this issue and that should say something... They are really trying to keep it out of the public's sight...
