Whose Racist Now? - One & 'Only Black Reporter' Booted From McCain Event
Originally published August 2, 2008
McCain security ousts reporter
By Paul Flemming

Tallahassee Democrat 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.

Price was among at least three other reporters, and the only black reporter, surrounding McCain's campaign bus — Gov. Charlie Crist and his fiancee, Carole Rome, were already aboard — when a member of the Arizona senator's security detail asked the reporter to identify himself. Price had shown his media credentials to enter the area.

Price showed his employee identification as well as his credentials for the Friday event.

"I explained I was with the state press, but the Secret Service man said that didn't matter and that I would have to go," Price said.

When another reporter asked why Price was being removed, she too was led out of the area. Other state reporters remained.

3. They removed another reporter just for asking why Price was being removed?

4. The wheels just keep falling of The Exress.
Before long, they'll have to call a tow truck, drag the thing along on its chassis.
