Oops, I don’t mean to imply this is at all similar to the Todd hoax, just using the Todd-incident to demonstrate that the media typically has no qualms about immediately jumping all over racially-charged whole-party-guilt-by-association outrage stories. Obviously in this case they have multiple witnesses, the RNC’s confirmation, their own camerawoman’s account, etc.

Donna Brazille’s comment suggests a reasonable follow-up though — did the RNC revoke the credentials of these attendees or just ask them to exit the venue. I also think if not their identities, at least whether or not they are delegates should be revealed.
