@RichardGrenell @RyanGOP @chucktodd I live in Charlotte. I've never heard it called 'Panther Stadium'

Looks like Todd’s lapdog media paws are wrapped firmly around the Democratic Party’s leg as he reports on the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte.
You mean Bank Of America stadium? RT @chucktodd: One of the Panther stadium statues looks like it came from set of Ghostbusters

Hey, the sign outside says 'BofA Stadium' RT @chucktodd: One of the Panther stadium statues looks like it came from set of Ghostbusters

@chucktodd the only people who call that stadium "panther stadium" are democratic hacks. Thanks for identifying yourself with them.

The marching orders came down in July when Donna Brazile decided to rebrand Bank of America Stadium as “Panthers Stadium.”
Is @chucktodd deliberately not using the true name of his location because it is *eek!* Bank of America stadium?

Well, the Dems can’t have President Obama delivering his speech at Bank of America Stadium, what with the raging infestation of corporate bankster cooties. And evidently, NBC’s Chuck Todd is happy to roll over submissively for the Dems.

Of course, Todd didn’t take kindly to tweets telling him his bias was showing.
The conspiracy theorists about why I used Panther stadium. Good grief. I used a photo and simply was using shorthand. Calm down partisans

Calm down, partisan conspiracy-mongers!
I like @chucktodd's formulation: He's an "objective" reporter regurgitating Dem-speak and we're "partisans" for noticing. #ok

And evidently in Dem-speak, “Panther” isn’t inaccurate or biased; it’s “shorthand.”
Shorthand for what, you ask? “BofA.”
What part of me tweeting this photo with BofA in huge letters is me covering something up. Absurd pic.twitter.com/swMV90Br
— Chuck Todd (@chucktodd) September 2, 2012
How ’bout the part where “Panther” has more letters than “BofA.”
.@chucktodd If you were using "shorthand", isn't "BoA Stadium" (correct name) shorter than "Panthers Stadium" (DNC Newspeak)?

Biden math! RT @DrewMTips I wonder why @chucktodd thinks "Panther stadium" is "shorthand" for BoA Stadium when it's…um…longer?

Hey, media lapdoggies, in case you didn’t notice:

Starting now:
I think I'm going to draw some cash out of one of those Panther ATMs by my hotel. cc: @RyanGOP @RichardGrenell

So, @chucktodd is calling it Panther Stadium because BofA Stadium is too long. How very Biden-esque of him.

{@chucktodd scrambles to make a "Panther Stadium" check-in on @foursquare in feeble attempt to save face.}
