A Troubling Chant on the Convention Floor (Video of puerto rico incident at gop convention)

http://www.harpers.org/archive/2012/08/hbc-90008805

(According to Raster the "USA" chants were to drown out the "seat them now" chants, referring to the Ron Paul Maine delegates. It had nothing to do with the woman from Puerto Rico, she was just in the wrong place at the wrong time, Rinse was wrong to assume that. Still shows the gop as unfair & in factional disarray.)

"seat them now, seat them now, seat them now." The USA chants were not to insult the gentlewoman from Puerto Rico.

The RNC is scared shitless of the Ron Paul delegates, and because of convention rules, Paul's delegates won the right to be seated. The RNC changed the rules several times in the past few days to avoid having to honor the Paul delegates, even to the point of dismissing almost the entire Maine delegation, which were pledged to Paul.

The shouts of "seat them now" were directed to Rinse Penis and the other RNC heavies that basically threw the Paul delegates to the back of the bus and have refused to allow them to participate.

Long story short: the lady from Puerto Rico was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. She was smack-dab in the middle of an RNC pissing contest.

...on. What was GOLDEN was Rinse Penis clearly flustered and pissed to high-holy-heaven that the Paultards would not get with the program and let them coronate Lord and Lady Rmoney.

Hopefully the Ron Paul delegates have more shenanigans to liven up this yawner of a convention. They should serve hard liquor on the convention floor. It would make these uptight, overly white peeps far more interesting.
