But it would be foolhardy to take away from the RNC only what its attendees want you to via their rehearsed words. It's important to also take into account whether or not attendees also, say, hurl peanuts at media presence and call them animals because they're black! This event has made Contributing Editor Carmen Rios's official Top Five Worst Moments of the RNC. It is unclear who the attendee was that threw peanuts at a camerawoman and yelled "This is how we feed animals" was; all that is known is that she was escorted out and the incident was hushed by the GOP as much as possible. But just to be clear, when we say that it's not clear who the attendee is, what that means is that it is unclear whether she was a GOP delegate or not. Do you feel comfortable saying "no, it couldn't have been a delegate, it must have been someone else, some total nutjob with no real affiliation to the party whatsoever!" Yeah, that's what I thought. Although, as Wonkette points out, there are literally thousands of people at the convention who managed to avoid throwing things at people of color, so really, we should count this as a win! God bless America.
