1) You know it was a "white teabagger" how?
2) You know it was a "Rosa Parks" poster how?
3) You know if posters were allowed to the debate how?
While we're making crude assumptions, i'll assume mush for brains is your strong suit.
I don't really understand.
Who warned her to put it up?
What rules did she ignore, exactly?
Who were the pictures of Rosa Parks offending, exactly? and how?
and last but certainly not least, what made that guy think it was his place to snatch her property out of her hands? Is that the new definition of "liberty"? If someone had snatches someone's sign that said "Liberty", you would have busted a nut in the process of getting the clip here to post it.
So help me understand why she had this poster and what rules were being broken by having them.
Note: I assumed the posters were big as hell and were blocking/obstructing the view of the people behind her. Instead, we have a poster that looks not much bigger than a sheet of legal paper (maybe 8.5" x 17"). So that wasn't the issue either.
While Rosa Parks' protest against the violation of human rights transcends race the fact remains that her protest was against the one of the vilest and long standing forms of racism, the concept of white supremacy so this is most assuredly a black/white issue when the sign is held by an African American and it destroyed by a "white" person. To deny that fact is simply unbelievable.
How utterly ridiculous.
Take what? What revolution would denigrate one of the countries greatest revolutionary figures?
Fidel...please take a puff of your cubano and at least present a valid argument.
1) That he is white isn't in question. That he is a "teabagger" is debatable, but possible (maybe even probable).
2) You can see a corner of it in the second to last image on this page.
3) Posters were not allowed into the town hall.
The video doesn't show the woman's arrival with it, but apparently the crowd got quite upset when she first entered with it. She rolled it up and put it on the chair in front of her and sat down. A photographer went over to her and asked to see what it was a poster of, I guess in an effort to provide accurate reporting if he was going to write about the sign incident. As she unrolled it while it was still laying on the chair, that's when it was grabbed off the chair, ripped and rolled into a ball. When she went to retrieve her stolen property, she and the perpetrator were separated by police, and although the news only shows the black woman being escorted out, apparently they both were.
1) Probable? So a pissed off white male makes him a "probable" teabagger? Do you liberals know no limits? That's the very mentality that will get your cronies in DC unelected in 2010/2012. You simply can't see that can you?
2) Who cares about the page you sourced. The OP offered no proof of that in his race-baiting post.
3) Bingo! We have a winner. No posters allowed. End of discussion. This lady got what she deserved. Play by the rules or get escorted out.
I don't know what the poster had on it what caught my attention is, what gave the white man any right to take someone else's property and tear it up?
Why did the black woman who had her property destroyed get bum rushed by a squad of security/police and the white man got escorted by one lonely person.
Who did they automatically perceive to be the greater risk?
I don't know if it was a race issue but the response to the incident is telling in itself!

understood.
she broke the rules and a random person sitting on a bench was overtaken by his civic duties to rid her of her Rosa Parks poster by brazenly walking up to her and stealing it from her and balling it up.
Good questions. Here's another observation. It looked to me as if the crowd was cheering this guys removal. In fact, I'm quite sure that's exactly what they were cheering about.
Good try though, Trop.
No sorry. McCaskill's townhall was being carried lived on CNN or Fox yesterday. (Can't remember which I was watching at the time.) The camera was focused on McCaskill at the time of the incident. By the time that the camera turned, the older man was being taken out one side of the gym, the side much closer to where the incident happened. The women were taken out other other side and had to pass by much of the audience in the bleechers, many of whom would not have been able to see the incident itself. It was very clear that the people were cheering for the woman being led out.
And then when McCaskill went on to explain what happened, she apologized for posters being displayed and then said something that implicated the man as the aggressor. When she said that, she was booed down, as if that was not the case.
Unfortunately, I can't find a link to the whole segment. The closest I could find was the one below. Just as a challenge to what you assert, you can clearly see some people, who were in no position to see the actual altercation, turning their bodies toward the direction of the woman being led out and clapping in support of her being led out. (Granted the woman was not happy, but the cheerers had no idea what had happened.) How one would interpret such an image as clapping for the man being led away is beyond me.
All I have to say is, white Republicans, keep on doing what you are doing. Please! You are marginalizing yourselves in a way that all the money and attack adds could never do.

Man, you sure are pissed off, aren't you.
1) Do we know no limits? Your outrage seems rather misplaced, considering I said it was possible he was a teabagger, then in parentheses, said MAYBE probable. I thought it was pretty clear I was making no specific allegation. Yet you glom onto only that which lets you get your panties in a twist, then pull the "at long last, have you no shame?" cr**?
2) Who said you should care about that guy's page? I merely referred you to look at the second to last picture as verification that she was carrying a poster of Rosa Parks, which is what you were asking for proof of.
3) She got what she deserved? So she deserved to have her property stolen and damaged? After she put it away and was no longer displaying it to the crowd?
Should these people have been assaulted by having their property ripped from their hands, then been escorted out by police?
