Tuesday night in Tampa, an attendee at the Republican National Convention was escorted out of the building for allegedly harassing an African American woman.

Talking Points Memo reported that a man threw nuts at a black CNN camerawoman while saying, “This is how we feed animals.”

“CNN can confirm there was an incident directed at an employee inside the Tampa Bay Times Forum earlier this afternoon. CNN worked with convention officials to address this matter and will have no further comment,” the network said in a statement.

The incident was first reported by Current TV host David Shuster.

I'm gonna give the benefit of the doubt and assume this racist cunt was drunk, but this isn't shocking to me. Good on the dipshit party for kicking his ass out.

Add this up with the incident of the Puerto Rican speaker getting booed off the stage for pretty damn vague reasons and things start looking kind of greasy.

According to the BBC, there were actually two nut throwers involved in this mess, both of whom have since been arrested. What do you reckon the chances are that these douchebags wanted to throw bananas at the camerawoman, but settled for the nuts because they were complimentary?

They did ban bananas at the RNC, did you know that?

That's hilarious. I guess even they realize that appealing to their racist troglodyte base would have consequences for their image.

I've been reading that they banned all produce in general.

In retrosepct it's probably because they didn't want Paulites tossing rotten fruit at Romney.
