At last night's debate someone in the audience was shouting .

[Reciprocity]

This happened within the first thirty minuets. All I could hear was the word race, I think. Did anyone else hear this?

1. i heard "you tube" too but wasn't sure what he said n/t

[livetohike]

2. I thought he was shouting something about "faith based

questions" :shrug:.

[Der Blaue Engel]

3. Yeah, I wondered what that was about

Something about "you're making this about race" or "this is all about race." Guess they ushered him out pretty quickly. :shrug:

4. I think he said "these are all race based questions"

And he was right. And they changed the subject after that.

5. That makes more sense than "faith based"

:hi:

7. That's what I heard too. nt

6. He said exactly the right thing IMO

IIRC, it was something like, "These are race-based questions coming from you two ! Will you stop all these race-based questions?"

If you saw the first 20 minutes or so of the debate, you know this guy was dead-on and it needed to be said. I was appalled at the questions, and when this guy spoke up, he spoke for me. Usually I don't appreciate protester/hecklers but usually they don't contribute to the events they interrupt. This guy said the most perceptive thing I heard all night.

And, the idiotic questions stopped immediately. Maybe he embarrassed a little dignity in Russert/Williams.

10. Strange that I've not heard one news person mention this today.

Normally if you get a heckler (which I don't think he was) or disturbance the other news outlets show it.

[dorkulon]

14. Me neither.

The most prominent mention I saw was on Time's website.

[Stephanie]

11. Exactly right.

The questions were appalling. They left no doubt who Brian Williams is working for.

13. 30 "minuets"in one debate?? Barishnikov is jealous I'm sure, but it

would be good if they talked politics some.
