The diary is incorrect. This did not happen
GOP boos Puerto Rico at convention!
The original Harper's post referenced in the diary is incorrect
It should not be on the recommended list.
They were not booing the speaker, the were booing because the Maine delegation which leans towards Ron Paul was not going to be seated.
Dana Milbank has the story
what really happened
peace was not on the agenda in the Tampa Bay Times Forum for this afternoon.
The Romney campaign had taken pains to stifle the Paul rebellion, by denying him a speaking role, expediting the roll call, changing party rules and even unseating Paul delegates from Maine . But as Romney and the Republicans have learned repeatedly this week, politics does not always go according to plan.
As the new rules disenfranchising the Paul delegates came to a vote, shouts of “no!” and a cascade of boos poured from Paul supporters across the hall. Maine delegates at one end of the arena and Texas delegates at the other began chanting, “Point of order!” Demonstrators shouted down the next speaker, a Republican National Committee member from Puerto Rico, and party chairman Reince Priebus hammered his gavel, pleading for quiet. A Nevada delegate raised his middle finger at Priebus and called him an “[expletive] tyrant.”
