Republican National Convention organizers said apologies had been extended to CNN for what they called Tuesday's "deplorable" incident in which racist comments were leveled by two unidentified convention attendees at a CNN camera operator who is black.

On a conference call with media outlets, Kyle Downey, Republican National Convention press secretary, and Russ Schriefer, Romney for President strategist, condemned the comments "in the highest possible way," adding that organizers could not have been more clear that it was reprehensible conduct. He said there had been immediate and continued conversations with CNN, including apologies.

CNN's Wolf Blitzer had reported on air that two attendees had been immediately ejected from the hall after throwing peanuts at the camerawoman and saying: "This is how we feed animals." CNN said it had worked with convention officials to address the matter.


Is this what you're referring to? An incident that Republicans present at the event acknowledged happened and apologized for?

yeah... and they got kicked out.!? because that kind shit isnt acceptable.

furthermore, there is a good chance they were plants (not saying it is), as often is the case with these types of things.

but anyway, how are these types of isolated incedents any different than any democratic/socialist group. actually its usually worse at those. i mean have you seen the occupy protests. or really when it comes to a conservative black person. your not even black as far as the left is concerned. your an uncle tom. alo anti-sematism runs rampant among the much of the left.

stupid incedents happen like this all the time. and it was dealt with accordingly.

now can we get back on topic, of the racism that was so prevelent among the party leaders?

I looked up racism at rnc since I didn't hear anything about any racism, and that's all I found.

I'm not sure what your point is. They had some racist people (yaknow, might now even be racism, but simply a joke about CNN), who got thrown out. I don't understand why you're lashing out, unless you're trying to rally up the troops against some imaginary accusations.
