Depressing? No one can ever fix what those good ole bush boys did the economy in one term . They caused us to loose billions . Wars could have been avoided if pride was set aside and a personal debt paid .


Give the man a chance for Christ Sake

ok, be reasonable and be fair; you have no idea what happened: I don't care if this happened at a Republican convertion or a D convenstion, it is uncalled for but your jumping to conclusions is what causes rumors to fly, ncl;ingrenided we;penahappendep;penawv

"Animal" is not a racially-bound insult.

If he had used a specific animal like "Ape" or "Monkey", I could see your claim. If it was bananas being thrown, I could see your claim.

Not sure what you mean here. Are you stating that calling a black person an "animal" is different and/or worse than calling a white person an "animal"?

And I could see where you were coming from. This situation? I can't see it at all.

Oh great, so "wingnut-itis" is now spreading to black folks too! Although who knows, maybe that's actually a good thing, when everybody, black, white, green, whatever... can finally enjoy all the same freedoms, not only to be successful or become the POTUS.... but also to be totally screwed up, and believe in the same crazy mixed-up $hit that lotsa white folks do!

Yessir, now we're free at last, free at last... thank God Almighty, we're all free at last... to even be total nutters if we wanna be!!

I think if there was a chance these two were Dems, or Dem plants, the RNC wouldn't have had to issue the statement deploring their behavior.

More troubling is, the lack (so far) of the whole story. Just who were these two? If they were reps from a state delegation, shouldn't that be said? We're they sent home, or just given a time-out?

But neither CNN or the RNC will ID the pair, or say anything at all about what went down. I can understand the RNC's reluctance: embarrassing incident, best keep the bad PR to a minimum.

But CNN??? They are supposed to be a NEWS organization. I know they bend over backwards to appear "impartial", but this is ridiculous.

I want the whole story. Even to be fair to the RNC, we need to know what happened. Mabe there are extenuating circumstances (somehow )

I'd like to see the victim herself tell us what happened.

Good point, and kudos to the Convention officers for taking swift action.

But I'd feel better if I knew these yahoos were sent packing, too.
