Black Reporter Ousted From McCain Event Can’t Help But Think Race Was Involved
 

Stephen Price, a senior reporter from the Tallahassee Democrat, was kicked out of the press area of a John McCain campaign event in Panama City, Fla., yesterday. The campaign said that he was asked to leave because no local press was allowed, although Price said that out of the many local reporters there, he was the only one McCain’s security detail asked to leave. He was also the only black person around. He thinks that might have something to do with it.

Hey, the McCain campaign doesn't discriminate against those of other races, they discriminate against those with common sense and rational thinking ability - hence Stephen Price's dismissal.

OK, wait. I have no problem believing the McCain campaign would throw out the only black reporter in the room. I can buy that, hell, I'd even like to believe it.

But the guy is a senior reporter for the Tallahassee DEMOCRAT, for chrissakes. Think THAT may have anything to do with it?
