Were The McCain Protesters Using MSNBC Badges?
Rumors are swirling around the Internet that the morons from Code Pink who interrupted John McCain’s speech last night were able to get in to the convention hall using MSNBC badges. It was well publicized that security was extremely tight at the convention and badges were individually bar coded, so did someone at MSNBC give those lunatics badges?
Shay over at Booker Rising has some very interesting details on this:
Sen. McCain’s speech kept getting interrupted early on with “USA, USA” chants by convention attendees. There were two or three anti-war protesters, who were located in one of the sections behind the stage. They managed to get to the second level of the convention hall, which they couldn’t have done without a media outlet providing them with credentials because security tightened after Day 1.
…I took the shuttle bus back to Minneapolis, and I overheard a convention organizer named Phil telling a convention delegate that the protesters on Wednesday night got through because of media credentials that were traced back to MSNBC (he told her that each credential has an individual bar code for each convention invitee). They suspect MSNBC this time as well.
Shay writes a pretty detailed account of his experience at the convention and the above gem was included in that. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if those scumbags at NBC did something like that. NBC officially stopped being a news organization a while back, and are now simply an extension of the far left of the Democratic Party.
Can you imagine the outcry if Fox News would have given passes to some anti-Obama group so they could raise a ruckus? The far left would have gone wild and called for prosecuting the staffers responsible for handing out the badges.
What pathetic as*holes.
