The "USA" chants were an attempt to drown the Paulists.

The Paulites were (and undoubtedly still are) upset that their delegates aren't being recognized or seated so they were raising hell, and other attendees were trying to shut them down. The woman - who is married to the governor of Puerto Rico, I believe - was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The manner in which they're treating Paul delegates should be the focus here as they're obviously getting screwed. We don't need to make stuff up about what was happening.

the Paulites got screwed, but they knew they would. The Democrats give it to the Greens whenever they can as well.

do you? Really?

Follow some of the Ron Paul convention stories and you'll see how this incident fits in to the whole rules fight over seating delegates.

and if you look at her expression, you know she does too.

BTW, I couldn't give a flying fook about Ron Paul or his supporters.

He's a repuke who's against everything from civil rights to medicare

She hadn't even begun speaking yet and these idiots were doing the "Tastes great!" "Less filling !" battle.

This story is crap.

This wasn't about the PR woman, it was about Romney stealing the Maine delegation so that they wouldn't have the 5 delegations necessary to nominate Paul.

to intervene on her part...I really felt sorry for her.

I'm sure the idiots don't even KNOW that PR is a part of the USA.

No one was yelling at the Puerto Rican woman for being Puerto Rican or having an accent. The Paulies were yelling and the other idiots were chanting to drown them out. This battle was going on before she even spoke.

This story is nonsense. This is the kind of crap a right wing huckster would do. There is plenty of real shit to get them on without having to resort to this.

And she isn't the friggin nominee. You've got to be kidding me using that as the comparison. You're reaching for shit.

Yeah they suck. Yeah they're assholes. But what the writer of that story is saying happened isn't what happened. Only the most slanted view would see it that way.

the fact that "Rinsed Penis" had to ask the attendees more than once to show respect is telling.

It showed a real lack of common courtesy towards the speaker.
