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

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.
CNN has been heavily competing with FOX lately, including experimenting with courting the conservative crowd a bit more. But not disclosing any info re: the incident is kinda craven on their part, especially for a news channel, although no doubt theyre simply trying to avoid annoying the very demographic they're trying to attract.
What I find interesting is how the two culprits would even have the idea this kinda behavior would fly at the RNC. Which strikes me as more of a "Southern delegate" sort of thang, and common within a culture where not everyone may behave that way.... but the ones who do are more apt to feel their bad behavior will be "tolerated".
Hmm, really? A quick google images search says you are wrong:
Besides the family of Romney, I see plenty of young people, Asian people, even women...oh and god forbid..."brown people" good try though. Sure there are plenty of white people, but lets try to be a little more honest instead of just feeding a stereotype that you so desperately want to be true.
The two ladies at the lower right(to the right of the speaker and below the Ron Paul sign) in the bottom picture, wow! If that won't make one join the GOP - nothing else will!!

Dunno who the asian gal is, but if you're talking about Michele Bachmann, geez, you must not get out much, 'cuz most of L.A. has better lookin' women just waiting tables!
Besides, Bachmann's already married (BTW, fittingly to a fellow who kinda resembles Liberace...LOL)!
Hope Mia Love and Condoleeza Rice were wearing peanut deflecting outfits, those Neanderthal bigots of the Tea Party only have so much capacity and ability to hold their disgust for black people in, must've reached the time limit
