Daughter of Billionaire GOP Donor Sheldon Adelson Pushes Democracy Now! Staff, Seizes Camera at RNC

[cynatnite]

When Democracy Now! senior producer Mike Burke attempted to interview billionaire casino magnate and Republican donor Sheldon Adelson inside the Republican National Convention, a woman identified as Adelson’s daughter grabbed our video camera, tried to take it into a private suite and then threw the camera to the ground. While Adelson’s daughter first accused Burke of hitting her, she later came out of the suite to apologize. The incident was caught on tape, shortly after Burke questioned another billionaire GOP donor, David Koch, as well as former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and former Republican National Committee chair Michael Steele. Burke files a report and joins us to describe what happened.

1. Just another rich Repub jerk who thinks they can do whatever they want.

This does not surprise me at all.

2. Where does all this anger come from?

The woman who attacked the reporter looked psychopathic in her rage. Man, if I had it made in life like she does, I don't think I'd ever have a frustration, hatred, or fit of anger for the rest of my life.

3. GOP - The Party of Raging Elephants.

They really should change their emblem from elephant to hyena. Elephants love, nurture, are intelligent, creatures who protect the weakest (young and old) amongst them - nothing like this group of disgustingness.
