Black reporter asked to leave McCain event

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.

"We're deeply concerned and disturbed that our reporter — of all of those in that area — was asked to move," Gabordi said. "My understanding is that 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."

Security's comment:

"At the end of the day, your reporter was in the wrong place. I do not know why the other reporters were not moved. The rest of the local press should have been moved as well," Block said.

Just don't call it racist!

Can we call it bigoted?

God I want this election cycle to be over so I don't have to hear about this smurf.

I suspect some of the conservatives you know just don't want to get into it with you, so they go along - but voted differently when in the privacy of the election booth.

You know, it actually is possible to be close enough to individuals of a different political persuasion that they're not at all concerned with disagreeing with you in political conversation.

I promise.

There's something magical about the ability to turn "for law-and-order and following the Constitution" into "Bush Derangement Syndrome."

Most of the conservatives and Republicans I know, who can be very hard core, also have this "BDS."

Oh, I "get into" it with the conservatives I know, they're more hawkish on foreign policy that most.

And then after they voted came to the startling conclusion that Bush was a complete idiot at around year 6 of his reign.
