Many people have heard now about the incident at the Republican National Convention where two white men supposedly threw peanuts at a black camerawoman for CNN, telling her that is how they fed animals at the zoo.
This incident fits right in with the media narrative that the Republican Party is the party of white racists.
Yet there are a lot of details about this incident that either do not add up or raise a lot of questions.
The CNN Camerawoman is now identified as Patricia Carroll. Based on her comments she made to a blog, she appears to be a liberal.
This story could be true but there are a lot of things about this story that are raising enough flags that many more questions need to be asked.
Let’s start with a few.
First, this is a CNN CAMERAWOMAN. Where the hell was her camera? According to her two other cameramen and a reporter came over to see the ruckus. They did not hear what was said.
In that crowded room of thousands of people, how does an event like this happen and no one else hears it? How is it that something like that happens and no one gets video or even a photo of it? You could probably count the number of people at the convention who do not have phones with cameras on one hand.
Who are these people who were supposedly throwing peanuts? Reporters pride themselves on finding out information for news stories. They discover classified projects and scandals. The can identify former Navy Seals who write books. Do you mean none of them can find out who these guys were?
Does anyone have any idea how tough it is to get into that convention? If you do not have the proper credential, you get nowhere near the event. Do you think if these guys were ejected, someone tried to find out who they were and if they were properly on the floor of the convention?
Who is the RNC official who allegedly apologized and claimed the men doing it were alternate delegates? If he knew they were alternate delegates, he probably has some idea who they are.
Where are the witnesses to this event, other than the guys who were allegedly throwing the peanuts?
According to Patricia Carroll, they were causing such a ruckus that other colleagues came over to investigate. How is it possible that such a ruckus was created that attracted the attention of other reporters and not the attention of other attendees? If so, why hasn’t the media tried to interview them?
This incident may or may not have happened. CNN’s coverage of the Republican Convention has been so egregiously biased that the claim by the reporter that she was tormented by a couple of white guys based on her race fits right in with the narrative they are trying to spin.
The simple truth here is there are a lot of questions. Clara Peller was made famous almost thirty years ago with the famous hamburger question, “Where’s the beef?”
In this case, the question is, “where’s the proof?”

Permalink Reply by Carolyn Hamilton on This reminds me of the ruckus, spiting, N word being called out, etc., in front of the Capital, while pelosi and her gang walked by.. They never found a soul to come forward, even with a large reward being offered. Its a set up by CNN and this woman with no camera.. Chicago politics in action. Trash!!
Don't even give this credit by responding.. Let it go.
Permalink Reply by Gayle Lacy on This reminds me of the reports of spitting and name calling when Nancy Pelosi locked arms with other Dems while holding that massive gavel on the day they passed Obamacare. They said these events happened while they were walking through the crowd into the House. With all the cameras there, no one heard, saw or got a photo of such a happening. Rewards have been offered for any proof whatsoever and no one has claimed the reward. I'm betting if a reward were offered here, it would never be claimed either! If CNN, MSNBC and the other lamestream media can't find a "racist story" to report, they simply make it up! No wonder their ratings are in the tank.
Permalink Reply by Gail E. Engelhardt on This isn't the first time that the lamestream, liberal media has started rumors with no evidence to prove their allegations. That's their MO to start rumors and claim racial slurs and then provide no proof whatsoever it even happened. NO, this is not the first time, and it won't be the last. They are getting desperate to make Conservatives, Tea Party people, and Republicans to be racists anyway they can do it. This is their MO.
Permalink Reply by James R. Norris on Did she like the peanuts? Were they parched, raw, or boiled? We do not have enough information for a lawyer to be asking questions yet. We must investigate in order to qualify our bill for services rendered. Now really, does anyone give a hoot?
Permalink Reply by American Infidel on Plain and simple, it did not happen. This is just like when Nancy Pelosi and some of her black Communist colleagues marched across the Mall in DC (during their unconstitutional takeover of America's health care system) with their ridiculous giant gavel, and claimed that white Republicans yelled out and called them the n-word as they marched. Breitbart called their bluff and offered $10,000 (or was it $100,000?) to anyone who could provide any recorded proof of Pelosi's lies. Pelosi and her crew of idiots were surrounded by news cameras and hundreds of people with cell phone cameras at the site where she falsely claimed the verbal abuse occurred. Of course, no one ever came forward with proof, and the money never had to be paid out by Breitbart, because the whole non-event was a complete and total lie. The same goes for this nonsense. It's a lie and we should call the Communists out on it. LIARS!

Let's all flush the facts of the Obama messiahship down the memory hole and focus our attention and hatred on Mitt Goldberg Romney. After two and a half decades of delay, the dream of 1984 has finally become reality.

This episode ranks among the rankest.
Does nobody remember the Obamacare Proclamation, the Mallet carried by Despot Pelosi, and the spurrious slanders about someone using the word, N*****?
I do.
CNN, news sows, all, comes up with a fragment of a story?
We know that illiterate incompetence is among their lesser frailties, but
"How does MEDIA sell slander without facts?"
They are Race Baitors who are pushing society perillously close to "dissidence."
I should hope they are astute enough to know the targets will be the public perveyors of Alinsky lies.
No one else.
