Peace and Love at the RNC

Posted on by

First, yesterday’s highlights. Nice audience reaction to a Latina speaker from Puerto Rico:

I think the guys in white hats are Ron Paulites. Certainly, an enthusiastic crew. I’m not sure about this, but I believe the Paulites were miffed because Puerto Rican delegates got seated and they didn’t.

In other news, two attendees were removed from the convention after they were seen throwing nuts at an African-American camera woman while shouting, “This is how we feed the animals.” The RNC wants you to know that merely by mentioning that this happened, I am playing the race card.

  2. I could see people of all kinds, saying that they were Republicans back in the days when the party stood for isolation and Big Business.
    Even when they became the party of the militarists.
    And even when they lied and said they were the party of “Small Business.”

    But if you’re any kind of minority, and seeing what you’ve seen from this party for the last 20 years, you’ve got to be some kind of truley self-hating masochist, not only showing support for the current Republicans Party, but expecially if you decide to go to the convention as a delegate/attendee – either that, or a total fool.

    I guess they couldn’t live up to that “Compassionate Conservatives” bullsh*t they told a dozen years ago, and decided to go with their true id – “Rabid Conservatives.”

    Let ‘your inner freak’s, fly,’ my friends.
    Maybe for people will see you for what you really are – the Party of Dixie:
    Racist.
    Misogynistic.
    Xenophobic.
    Homophobic.

    The 21st Century “Know Nothing” Party.

  3. There you liberals go again with your race card stuff. Sheesh, It was just a moment of levity.

  5. We liberals have no sense of humor!

    Ha, so true! After all, Victoria Jackson is a comic genius. Vicks told them they could just keep their crazy old Mark Twain Award, she didn’t want it… so they gave it to that untalented feminist, Tina Fey.

  6. And here’s more “race card” and liberals you-know-who with no sense of humor decency:

    Yahoo News’ Washington bureau chief David Chalian was fired on Wednesday after a hot-mic incident during an online broadcast from the GOP convention in Tampa. Media watchdog NewsBusters was first to post audio of the incident. Politico broke the news of his firing.

    During the broadcast, Chalian can be heard saying that Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and his wife Ann were “not concerned at all” and “happy to have a party with black people drowning.” Chalian seemed to be referring to the simultaneous occurrence of the GOP convention convening in Tampa and Hurricane Isaac hammering its way across the gulf coast and through New Orleans.

    A Yahoo spokesperson released a statement regarding the company’s decision to fire Chalian “effective immediately:”

    “David Chalian’s statement was inappropriate and does not represent the views of Yahoo!. He has been terminated effective immediately. We have already reached out to the Romney campaign, and we apologize to Mitt Romney, his staff, their supporters and anyone who was offended.”

    Yuh-huh, Yahoo “reached out” to the RNC on its knees. Yeccchh.

    • Yahoo “reached out” to the RNC on its knees. Yeccchh.

      Yeah, why don’t we liberals throw temper tantrums and demand heads every time someone on media offends us.

      Oh, because there’d be hardly anyone left in media, that’s why. Never mind.

  7. Why didn’t he use his “Get Out Of Jail Free” card, and tell them, ‘Hey, I was just joking. Can’t you people take a joke?”
    It works for them!

    And yeah, I know that would never fly. But I’d do it just to throw it back in their lying faces.

  9. God, Swami! You have found the quote that could have been put on a billboard last week and saved them all a lot of airfare. Think of all the cash they could have used to forward the cause of their sincere desire to reduce the deficit.

  11. Swami, loved the Charles Pierce article, have added him to my rss reader. Got about five seconds into the video for us “exceptional” Americans before I had to turn it off.

  12. A question if I may. Were the two racist clowns ‘removed’ for a day or were their credentials pulled for the duration of the convention? There is a reason I ask. If they are back in the convention, the ‘discipline’ was window dressing and a warning not to be so blatant. If the GOP, as a political party, is seriously opposed to racism, the delegates were sent packing.

    IMO, the GOP is actively recruiting the racist element, but they don’t want to be caught at it. If I’m right, then the racists are whooping it up inside the Forum tonight because the GOP doesn’t want to offend the racist contingent. If I am wrong (and I know a lot of republicans who are opposed to racism) then the GOP made a statement in opposition to racism by sending the clowns home.

    Which is it?

  14. CNN promotion of right-wing extremism has been sickening for a long time: CNN’s Howard Kurtz’s mainstreaming of Limbaugh and Malkin, CNN’s embedded promotion of the Tea [not a] Party, CNN’s hiring right-wing sleaze like Erik Erikson and Dana Loesch, having Republican toadies like Borgia and Blitzer fluff Republicna talking points.

    But this is a disturbing new low for CNN.

    Why is CNN protecting the Republican Convention from it’s racist Republican members?

    CNN’s failure to report the facts of Republicans’ racist heckling of a black woman at the Republican Convention is now as much of the story as the Republicans’ racist insults.

    Who were the racist Republicans insulting the black woman?

    Why were those Republican racists comfortable insulting a black woman at the Republican Convention?

    Who at CNN decided to protect those racist Republicans who insulted the black woman?
