Donna Brazile Hit By Pepper Spray At RNC

Washington Post:

ST. PAUL -- Donna Brazile was hit by pepper spray as she walked to the Xcel Center at the start of the Republican Convention here.

The well-known Democratic pundit and strategist confirmed the incident, but declined to comment further. Protests outside the convention center led to 56 arrests earlier in the day.

Brazile is the Chair of the Democratic National Committee's Voting Rights Institute and was a delegate at the Democratic National Convention in Denver.

I wonder why ? She stood out in the crowd ?
Yesterday, looking at the convention, the lack of color was so evident, too pale too lily white !

I like Donna. She is a democrat with brains which is a bit of an oxymoron.

[beauwin]

GOOD spray her again!

[lmab]

Is that why she is in a fog?

[indyleftist]

Why is it that CNN has not covered this story?

It happened to their reporter after all. While they are at it they could include amy goodman, and the ap reporter along with the other hundreds of innocent people arrested or attacked with pepper spray

CNN=Conservative News Network

She will blame it on White racism and step up her attempts to drive more and more Whites out of the Democratic party. Something that she is real good at. It seems to be her life's work.

They didn't know who she was and didn't care. Last month the McCain campaign dimissed a black reporter in Florida. Hey if you look out of place we can't take chances.

Nice to see the cops are roughing up 'credentialed' people and not just the ordinary folks for a change.
First Amy Goodman and her staff and the ABC reporter and now this.
Think anybody might wanna check the cops donuts for steroids?

I like Donna she has alot of class and doesn't get ruffled easily.
She can hold her own against the right wingers.
To bad she was hit by pepper spray.

[wm1066]

Wow, got hate!

[gaither83]

The Ronald McDonald haircut is scaring me.

[qdog112]

Republican Punks scare easy.

[BigLib]

Guess someone didn't like being called "the party of the white boys".

[qdog112]

Yeah - truth hurts.

[hilaritee]

for those of you wondering "what she was doing there in the first place". she is a political commentator for cnn and cnn is covering the convention.

[AliLiz]

I am sorry this happened and sorry it had to be Donna Brazile who was pepper sprayed. She is a lady and kind to all.

Sen. McCain and/or his representative should make a public statement that they denounce such behavior. Think they'll do it? They should also apologize that it happened on their 'watch.' Flowers to Donna would be nice too...but that takes class.

[foxfan]

I don't see any mention of who sprayed her and why or why she was at the RNC.

So, I ask why this is on HufPo and why there are so many uninformed comments about it.

It is a shame it happened and I hope it was accidental.

[indyleftist]

At least One ^^^

She was at the RNC because she works for CNN

And you are right, its sad that the article doesn't actually say the police did it. Often the mainstream media is very biased against values of the left like police who harm and harass innocent people, as I'm sure you are well aware considering your name.

UH uh LIBs..... the twin cities are run by DEMOCRATS!!!!!!!

[Bluedog12]

Who did their respective Police Patrolman's union's endorse...­.McCain? Duh!

[rwe]

WHO TAKE THEIR MARCHING ORDERS FROM THE DEMOCRATS WHO ARE RUNNING THE OPERATIONS
