McGoonSquad evicts African-American reporter at rally.
"...senior writer Stephen Price on Friday was singled out and asked to leave a media area at the Panama City rally of presidential candidate Sen. John McCain."

"...Stephen was the only reporter approached and asked to leave the area, and the only reporter in that area who is black. Another reporter who stood up for Stephen was then asked to leave."

1. Welcome to 'L. A.'--Lower Alabama, aka as Florida's panhandle.

3. Well, the man was a senior reporter AND black, so he was probably uppity like Moses. Maybe
he was too popular like Paris and Brittany? I'm confused.

4. Where is the American mind? This incident should be making
national headlines with very negative impact on McCain's campaign.

5. The meme the republicans are using is to keep race the focus.
They want to keep everyone talking about race, instead the of the election.

This ploy is to make someone angry, and the news cycle about race,.

15. What the hell does location have to do with it?
The security guard was McCain's and could have been from anywhere - Arizona, Massachusetts, where ever...

If it were Florida police, I could understand this "redneck Riviera" comment, but this involves a security officer hired by McCain and we don't know where he's from.

I'm so fucking tired of the South-bashing that goes on at this board. It's stupid.

17. Agreed. No need to make it a major issue...
... but just bring it up and let Chicken McCainnet's people deny it, as they denied so many other "little" things, until, "we're not racist. I swear" becomes their mantra.

16. It is where bigots can "legitimize" their hatred. But a whites-only club?
