GOP audience boos woman delegate from Puerto Rico

[TroyD]

Can you imagine being in a room with so many ignorant people at one time?

1. How disgusting. I guess using the n-word isn't far behind.

Who the hell are these people? They sure aren't the US citizens I learned about in civics class.

2. The GOP has become the evilness of racism in the US. They are now under one big tent, the

GOP tent, standing for racism, bigotry and hypocrisy. The GOP will be the final unpinning of democracy in the US if given too much power. Just looking at the faces of these people, one can see the hatred and evilness oozing out. They are disgusting.

4. They're not booing her. We need to get our facts straight

The Ron Paul delegation was raising hell about not having its delegates seated/recognized, etc., and they were doing it while they were bringing on the "first lady of Puerto Rico." The way they're treating the Ron Paul delegates should be a big enough story to show how republicans really operate that we shouldn't make stuff like this up.

5. What about their faces?

They look very hateful and prejudiced to me.

[Atman]

6. I disagree entirely.

Some are yelling "Seat the now." The "now" mouth might look similar to a "boo," but it simply isn't the case that they look any more hateful than Republicans always look.

7. Whose faces? The shouters?

They're all pissed off at each other, of course they look hateful. The Paulites were yelling for their delegates to be seated, and the everyone else was chanting USA to drown out the Paulites.

They look prejudiced because they're republicans.

8. Odd that they would shout "USA, USA".

9. Romney's cheerleaders are instructed to do that any time there are hecklers at rallies etc.

Given the crowd present, it usually catches on real quick.

[TheDonkey]

10. Updated reports suggest that the shitstorm was actuall Ron Paul supporters

bemoaning the rules change and this woman was just caught in the crossfire.

It was not a racially charged attack on her but it still shows how unruly, disrepectful and out of control the RNC actually is. There is a lot of fighitng going on in Tampa!
