MUST WATCH: Black Panther Vid from Amatuer Vlogger
Posted by: Amanda Carpenter at 1:30 PM
A brave man, self-identified as a Pennsylvania student, confronts the Black Panthers who were guarding the doors of a Philly polling station.

"Who are you with?" the man asks the two men dressed in Black Panther gear standing outside the doors of 1221 Fairmount Ave.

"Uh, security," one of the Black Panthers replies. He tells the cameraman he"wonders why everybody is coming up taking pictures."

"I think you might be a little bit intimidating that you have a stick in your hand," the student said. "You have a nightstick in your hand."

"You have a camera phone!" the Panther tells him.

"A camera phone is not a weapon," the camera man answers.

Figure it out: there is NO race, save the HUMAN race. Any less of an assertion is merely more of the same class/caste-warfare put to a biological level. Charles Darwin may have both a scepter and a crown, but he has NO CLOTHES!!!

And these two goons standing guard at the polling place do nothing to undercut that fact; rather, they do everything to exacerbate the problem.

GOP Voter suppression
Warren Township, Indiana

From the Indianapolis Star ...

The removal of two Republican election workers from a Warren Township polling site - for using improper methods to challenge voters' rights to cast a ballot - has prompted local Republican Party leaders to issue a statement of regret.

The two officials - an official challenger and a clerk - were removed by unanimous vote of the Marion County Election Board.

The officials were reportedly challenging voters with information obtained through party affiliation reports, which is not one of the accepted challenges such as a person's address, age or lack of ID.

"We were disappointed to hear of the incident regarding these two workers. The Marion County Republican Party was not aware of these alleged activities, nor did the Party instruct any worker to engage in such behavior," Marion County Republican Party Chairman Tom John said in a statement issued at 2 p.m.
Alvin writes: Tuesday, November, 04, 2008 4:47 PM
Wait, don't jump to conclusions...
I think they are not suppressing voters there. They are probably just industrious crack dealers trying to pick up a few new customers. Or maybe pimps looking for new recruits. This stuff happens a lot over there at big events like this.

I think we need to quit jumping to nefarious conclusions when it could just be this innocent stuff going on.

Besides, everyone knows that real black panthers always carry AK-47's. These guys just look like regular pimps and crack dealers to me. Quit making it look worse than it is.

Appointed to the Supreme Court by Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1937
"Mr. President, the crime of lynching . . . is not of sufficient importance to justify this legislation."


--James Webb, 1990

"Everybody likes to go to Geneva. I used to do it for the Law of the Sea conferences and you'd find these potentates from down in Africa, you know, rather than eating each other, they'd just come up and get a good square meal in Geneva."


--Sen. Ernest F. Hollings (D., S.C.) 1993
Chairman, Commerce Committee, 1987-95 and 2001-03
Candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, 1984
"I do not think it is an exaggeration at all to say to my friend from West Virginia [Sen. Robert C. Byrd, a former Ku Klux Klan recruiter] that he would have been a great senator at any moment. . . . He would have been right during the great conflict of civil war in this nation."


--Sen. Christopher Dodd (D., Conn.), 2004

Candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, 2008

They may not have been wearing "official" Panther insignia, but the uniform says it all. Looks like they're trying out for Hussein's Civilian National Security Force. I agree with Jon. If they want my guns they will have to take them, one round at a time. And I have a LOT of rounds.

Vance - wake up!
This has nothing to do with the color of their skin and everything to do with their attempt at intimidating voters.

If folks like this are so certain Obama should win, then they should cast their ballot and move along, not standing there trying to intimidate others into voting their way. Do you see the problem? Some of you folks have so blinded yourself to the OTHER reasons not to vote for Obama that you really have to insist that voters being intimidated by two men with nightsticks who happen to be dressed as Black Panthers and are themselves black are reacting to racism. NO! They're reacting to intimidation. So, Obama didn't ask them to do it? Okay, but this is an example of the sorts of folks who support him and how they think society ought to be if he wins. Hey, if it's okay to intimidate voters into either not voting or voting for a candidate we think is unqualified and ideological dangerous, then why can't they also intimidate us later to -- I don't know -- not fire them from their jobs for not doing the work expected of them or hand over our groceries in the parking lot because they're disadvantaged by their refusal to work and we have the audacity to have jobs that allow us to buy groceries?

Do you understand that by defending them and saying that we should just ignore it, that you're actually giving them power they don't deserve and haven't earned? THIS is an example of racial politics where the black candidate's supporters are acting in racist ways and then insisting that anyone who objects is a racist.

I'm not a racist, but I'm not going to be intimidated into voting for an unqualified candidate just because he's black.

Study some history before you pray for a revolution. Revolutions never end well for those who don't win and often, they don't end well for those who do. The American Revolution was an exception -- unless, of course, you were a Tory, in which case, you ran to Canada before your neighbors opened your veins. Understand what I mean?

I Googled it and I'm stumped. Mercenaries outside Oregon polling stations? Do tell us where you got this from. If you saw a soldier casting his vote at your polling station in his fatigues, that doesn't count. He's got a right to vote too. I was in line with 20 soldiers this morning and that didn't intimidate me at all. I'm pretty sure they wanted me to vote for McCain which I was already doing, but we didn't talk about it because that would have been electioneering and we don't do that.

So, you make this accusation -- how about some facts? Mercenaries, by definition, are doing what they do for pay? So who hired them? What group? Why were they white? I mean, I've got a friend whose husband is Blackwater and he's Hispanic and reports that most of the guys in Kuwait with him are either Hispanic or black -- there's just a few white guys. So, are we talking urban legend, hallucination, or do you have some facts to back up your report?

Kyle Bristow, the former chair of MSU-YAF, ran for and achieved the post of precinct delegate of the 29th district in southeast Michigan’s Clinton Township.

This is not Bristow’s first time in an elective position. He served a short term as representative to Associated Students of Michigan State University (ASMSU), the student governing body of MSU. He was recalled from that post, representing the James Madison College after students learned of his plans to eliminate all minority groups, create a white council and “hunt down illegal immigrants in the Lansing area.” In April, Bristow was involved in bringing Canadian Nazi Paul Fromm to Lansing.

Black Panther presence
Black Panthers are people struggling to be important in a world that has passed them by. Racism is a two way street. White people should begin to call these people racists also, perhaps that will lift the white guilt felt by so many who are supporting Obama. Why does a person have to be labeled racist? Why can't there be just mean and wicked people doing bad things? Stop letting black people call you racist. Call them the same thing, you will be surprised.

Wow- true colors flying!
Please, folks, re-read the comments above and ask yourselves "am I a racist liberal fool?" because, I gotta tell you, some of you are, based upon your posts.

I'm not intimidated by black people, male or female, large or small. I work for community mental health where the clients occasionally threaten to eat my liver with a nice chiate, so --you know -- intimidation just isn't something I feel very often out in the real world of sane people.

However, night sticks -- well, I find those intimidating. My reason for that? Well, you see, I don't see why you would need to bring a night stick to a polling station unless you were thinking of using it. And, why would you need to? And, if you did need to, who would you use it on? Well, if you were really security, you might use it on some violent type, but the video (I'm told, because I can't access video at work) doesn't show anyone else being violent or intimidating -- just the guys with the night sticks. Black, white, Asian, Martian -- it's not their skin color that would intimidate me, but the fact that they're carrying weapons -- I find that intimidating. Wouldn't keep me from voting because, hey, Alaskans can conceal carry without a license and -- well, don't bring a nightstick to a gun fight.

But blacks can't be racist...

This is the sort of thing we should've expected given this dirty racist campaign Obama has run.

I hope voters that were undecided see this stuff in time.

If that had been a Klansmen intimidating Blacks from a polling station. Every network , newspaper and magazine would cover it in breathless indignation. As it is only FOX will show us this truth.

It irritates to know I pay those clowns' welfare so they can dress up and play all day.

Carlos writes: Tuesday, November, 04, 2008 3:09 PM
What's the problem ???

Doesn't everyone else have armed criminals standing outside of their polling stations?

They're just giving 'all-clear' signals to the ACORN poll workers inside (and the guy pulling the rims off the Escalade parked across the street).

My two
If anyone asked, I would say that yes, I am initimidated, on election day, by two guys that don't seem to doing last minute campaigning. They imply they are security, but in no way act as professional as security guards. Turn up the volume and listen to them... They are not profesionally dressed, nor do they act it.

So are we supposed to roll over and play dead! If people like these black panther types can turn voters away, why not just give Obama the election. This is how Hitler got in power - through intimidation and fear. We have to stand up to them and help each other. Not cower in the corner.

You'd PRAISE him and suggest he was there to do surgery on the poor guy.

Your head is so far up his anal cavity, you've completely lost your perspective on the TRUTH staring you in the face.

TWO MEN, dressed in black fatigues, wearing combat boots, black berrets, yielding a night-stick calling themselves "security" .... isn't intimidating???

NBPP to patrol Polling Locations throughout the Nation
black voting

The NBPP will patrol election sites nationwide to counter voter intimidation and other threats of violence against Blacks.

http://www.newblackpanther.com/home2.html

You can go to the website, enter and scroll to the bottom of the page and there is a picture of the "uniform", it matches.

No one has any business being at a voting site with a club, unless its a cop. Why these thugs are allowed to loiter outside the polling site is wrong and is most likely against the law. Will they be removed from the area? Probably not because they are black and its Philadelphia.

How is his racism showing?
The two men are wearing traditional Black Panther attire. This attire is easily distinguishable. They are clearly Black Panther members and they are clearly trying to intimidate voters. Imagine if these were skinheads in neo-nazi attire wielding clubs. That would be decried as voter intimidation of some of the worst kind.

I agree that, if they were neo-nazi republicans, this would be all over CNN and everything. But at the same time, the Democrats don't have the time or capacity to focus on every issue that surfaces. I won't call it blatant hypocrisy, but I will call it bs.

What I find interesting...
is that gun sales have doubled and tripled in many states this past month or so. I am not a gun person, although my dad made sure I knew how to shoot. My brother and I will be purchasing hand guns this weekend if Obama is elected. No fearmongering, no threats, just plain facts. We do not need a "civilian security force" in this country, nor will Americans stand for one. The power to impeach is always there.

Welcome to Afrimerica - where Obama spreads the wealth around to his people like a benevolent dictator, taking from those who work.

Don't agree with him?

- He orders his "thugs" to shut down your radio show.
- He kicks reporters off his plane.
- He promotes the "Fairness Doctrine" which allows government to control the airwaves.

Regardless
Of their skin color, what their wearing or who they may side with, for some two men standing in front of a polling place with a nightstick could feel intimadating. If this is what our country will be like with a Obama administration then we will live in concerning times.

Look at what they did to Joe the plumber for simply questioning Obama's policies. Should I fear for my lively hood that the government will harass me and the media will harass me if I vocally say I am against just about everything Obama stands for and has no business being our President???

Coming Revolution?

Obama has repeatedly assaulted American's 2nd Amendment right to bear arms. His position is clear siding with the DC Gun-ban and previous surveys agreeing with gun-bans.

With his "Civilian Force" Obama will make the case NO American needs to possess a firearm... citing European Countries as examples.

European Socialism
European Gun-bans

The first brown-shirt that comes to take my legally acquired firearms will have to "play catch" with rapidly moving munitions.

I wouldn't be frightened by those men. I think that you have to think black men are scary in order to think that.

Also, why do you call them Black Panthers? They don't identify themselves as such...you just made up that label. What was your reason?

You are so racist you don't even understand when you are being racist. But displaying such a fear of black men--it explains a lot about the psychology around here...

I knew this was coming. This race has been about race since the beginning. I am not at all surprised that black thugs showed up at polling places to try and intimidate whites with the threat of violence. It's in their nature.

They might be able to intimidate the "bed-wetting" liberal, but when push comes to shove Blacks just might find themselves an extinct species.

Obama's Civilian Security Force is being assembled, and we see what its comprised of. Thugs.

Desperate people do desperate things, and this is a desperate situation. If the police won't stand up to these criminals, someone needs to.

You liberals will wake up eventually, and man, you are not going to like reality. Not when you have thugs standing over you wielding clubs telling you YOUR money is now THEIR money. Obama is going to get your money one way or another.

These thugs need to be arrested and I don't care WHO they claim hired them as security. We pay tax dollars for a LEGITIMATE police force to make and maintain the peace.

It will be a landslide for both parties… Obama wins popular vote with huge margins in NY, CA, IL… McCain wins electoral vote keeping almost all red states except NM and IA, but adding PA… With all the info about obama that the msm has been suppressing for so long finally coming out, it’s amazing how many great ads could be made to coal states, to jewish and christian zionists, to free market capitalists, to defenders of the constitution …oh and palin is cleared… Don’t you kind of wish the MSM had properly vetted their candidate before anointing him?
