Voter Intimidation OK If You Are A Black Panther Supporting Democrats

The leader of the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense, Malik Shabazz, says that Attorney General Eric Holder was right when he dropped the issue of voter intimidation that was engaged in by two New Black Panthers last November. Shabazz said that the two had been suspended and that the whole uproar over the case being dropped is nothing more than a Republican witch hunt.

Oh really?

Let me lay this out for the mouth breathing moron. Voter intimidation is a crime and it matters not that the two involved were suspended. If a star NFL quarterback is caught on tape raping a girl the case does not get dropped because the team suspended him. That is because, like voter intimidation, rape is a crime.

Holder dropped the case because it was a political favor and he was helping out a black organization that supports Democrats.

The Democrats cried foul and claimed voter intimidation because a police car was parked outside a polling place in Florida during the 2000 election. The presence of a police car is not intimidation but two fatigue clad men wielding night sticks is. A police car should have been parked outside that polling place in Philadelphia.

Imagine if the KKK showed up at a polling place and they had night sticks and threatened people. Suppose they said that they were there to ensure that the people did not vote for a black man.

Eric Holder would not drop those charges and Shabazz would be screaming racism and voter intimidation and I doubt he would buy any argument that the KKK had suspended the offending Klansmen. Voter intimidation is a crime no matter whether you are wearing a hood or from the hood.

Democrats don’t seem to see it that way. In 2004 Michael Moore said he was going to have video cameras around to film voter intimidation and there was a phone number for people to call and report it. These two knuckledraggers were caught on film intimidating voters and Moore has remained silent. No one on the left has called these guys out.

Shabazz is an idiot and his organization is not very different than the KKK. The only real difference is the color of the people they hate.

I am glad I live in a place where morons like the Black Panthers (or the KKK) would never think of showing up at a polling place and intimidating voters. They know they would get their guts stomped out.

So I have an open invitation for them to show up at our voting place to try their carp.

Even Eric Holder will not be able to save them then.

Racism in The Justice Department

It’s true, but this time it isn’t Whitey who’s letting people have a pass on hating, but the three Black Panther wannabes who were intimidating voters at a polling place back on November 4. Now, the Hussein administration, in the form of the Justice Department, has dismissed the charges against the three Blacks who were hurling racial insults, and wielding a weapon, in clear violation of the Voting Rights Act. Justice dismissed the charges even after the men were convicted, vacating the conviction, but failing to adequately explain the reasons why.

The department’s career lawyers in the Voting Section of the Civil Rights Division who pursued the complaint for five months had recommended that Justice seek sanctions against the party and three of its members after the government had already won a default judgment in federal court against the men.

Front-line lawyers were in the final stages of completing that work when they were unexpectedly told by their superiors in late April to seek a delay after a meeting between political appointees and career supervisors, according to federal records and interviews.

The delay was ordered by then-acting Assistant Attorney General Loretta King after she discussed with Mr. Perrelli concerns about the case during one of their regular review meetings, according to the interviews.

Ms. King, a career senior executive service official, had been named by President Obama in January to temporarily fill the vacant political position of assistant attorney general for civil rights while a permanent choice could be made.

This is egregious- if the situation were reversed, you can be sure that the NAACP, and every other black group would be howling in outrage, but as we all know, these people are not for equal rights, just favoritism for their race. Hypocrisy rules the day. I guess, to them, two wrongs really do equal a right. What color is Mz. King? Should it matter? Of course not, but in light of this ridiculous decision, we might be excused for asking.

While the Obama administration has vowed a new era of openness, department officials have refused to answer questions from Republican members of Congress on why the case was dismissed, claiming the information was “privileged, according to congressional correspondence with the department.

Rep. Frank R. Wolf, Virginia Republican and a senior member of the House Appropriations Committee who has raised questions about the case, said he also was prevented from interviewing the front-line lawyers who brought the charges.

“Why am I being prevented from meeting with the trial team on this case? Mr. Wolf asked. “There are many questions that need to be answered. This whole thing just stinks to high heaven.”

Ms. Schmaler said the department has tried to cooperate with Congress. “The Department responded to an earlier letter from Congressman Wolf in an effort to address his questions. Following that letter, the Department agreed to a meeting with Congressman Wolf and career attorneys, in which they made a good-faith effort to respond to his inquiries about this case. We will continue to try to clear up any confusion Congressman Wolf has about this case.

Ms. King and a deputy are expected to travel to Capitol Hill on Thursday to meet behind closed doors with House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers Jr., Michigan Democrat, and Rep. Lamar Smith of Texas, the top Republican on the panel, to discuss continuing concerns about the case.

Oh great- John Conyers, the man who refused to investigate ACORN- do we really believe anything will be done on this? One would have to believe in “Ethics Fairies”, who would sprinkle dust on Rep. Conyers, who would then suddenly turn about and become honest, and would in good faith investigate this voter intimidation case. That’s not gonna happen, I can guarantee you.

Mr. Perrelli, a prominent private practice attorney, served previously as a counsel to Attorney General Janet Reno in the Clinton administration and was an Obama supporter who raised more than $500,000 for the Democrat candidate in the 2008 elections. He authorized a delay to give department officials more time to decide what to do, said officials familiar with the case but not authorized to discuss it publicly. He eventually approved the decision to drop charges against three of the four defendants, they said.

At issue was what, if any, punishment to seek against the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense (NBPP) and three of its members accused in a Jan. 7 civil complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Philadelphia.

Two NBPP members, wearing black berets, black combat boots, black dress shirts and black jackets with military-style markings, were charged in a civil complaint with intimidating voters at a Philadelphia polling place, including brandishing a 2-foot-long nightstick and issuing racial threats and racial insults. Authorities said a third NBPP member “managed, directed and endorsed the behavior.

Mr. Perrilli, by the way, is the #3 guy in the Justice Department, and the question becomes what did #1, or #2 in the Justice Department tell Mr. Perrilli? Especially in light of the default judgement that was rendered when these scumbags didn’t show- I guess that they felt that nothing would happen to them, since a Black man was in the White House.

It looks like they were right.

Justice Provides Solution To Water Boarding Issue

The issue of water boarding has been a hot topic over the past few months. Nancy Pelosi was caught lying about her knowledge of the practice and there have been debates as to whether it constitutes torture. Some people say it is not and others say it is. Some people are volunteering to have it done and saying it was torture while some members of the military say they have been water boarded several times and it was “no big deal.” Until Congress codifies the issue and specifically states water boarding is torture then the debate will continue.

However, the Justice Department has provided a way out of the issue without putting Pelosi in jail or prosecuting anyone involved in the issue. Just tell them not to do it again. Yes, telling them not to do it again is satisfactory adjudication for the Justice Department.

Last November three thugs from the Black Panther Party were involved in voter intimidation and they violated the voter rights act. The actions of the baton wielding thugs were captured on film and left no doubt that they were involved in intimidating voters in Philadelphia. The career lawyers at Justice were prepared to bring sanctions against the three men but the political appointees of Obama have put a halt to that.

Justice Department political appointees overruled career lawyers and ended a civil complaint accusing three members of the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense of wielding a nightstick and intimidating voters at a Philadelphia polling place last Election Day, according to documents and interviews.

A Justice Department spokesman on Thursday confirmed that the agency had dropped the case, dismissing two of the men from the lawsuit with no penalty and winning an order against the third man that simply prohibits him from bringing a weapon to a polling place in future elections.

The department was “successful in obtaining an injunction that prohibits the defendant who brandished a weapon outside a Philadelphia polling place from doing so again,” spokesman Alejandro Miyar said. “Claims were dismissed against the other defendants based on a careful assessment of the facts and the law.”

“In my opinion, the men created an intimidating presence at the entrance to a poll,” he declared. “In all my experience in politics, in civil rights litigation and in my efforts in the 1960s to secure the right to vote in Mississippi … I have never encountered or heard of another instance in the United States where armed and uniformed men blocked the entrance to a polling location.”

Mr. Bull said the “clear purpose” of what the Panthers were doing was to “intimidate voters with whom they did not agree.” He also said he overheard one of the men tell a white poll watcher: “You are about to be ruled by the black man, cracker.”

He called their conduct an “outrageous affront to American democracy and the rights of voters to participate in an election without fear.” He said it was a “racially motivated effort to limit both poll watchers aiding voters, as well as voters with whom the men did not agree.” Washington Times

This is the kind of justice that is given in the Obama America when it involves minorities who support him but are breaking the law. Is there any doubt what would have happened if the skinheads had been intimidating blacks at polling places? The political appointees would not be telling them not to do it again.

I guess we have a precedent now. A minority thug robs a bank, tell him not to do it again. A minority thug deals drugs, tell him not to do it again.

I would not have let these punks bother me. They like to talk big and act bad but having a baton shoved where the sun does not shine tends to make one less violent.

Funny thing is, I have never seen this kind of intimidation in polling places that are outside of the major cities that liberals run. My polling place was peaceful and people respected each other even though we were voting for different people.

Proper upbringing, it makes a difference.

As for the Black Panthers, just another Democrat organization of racist thugs who are not worth the bullet they so rightfully deserve.
