A poll observer in Philadelphia called police after witnessing what appeared to be voter intimidation by two members of the Black Panthers.

The two Black Panthers stood in the doorway of the polling location where the observer attempted to enter. One Panther was brandishing a nightstick, Fox News reported.

The observer reported that one of the Panthers members said to him, “black people are going to win no matter what,” and stood shoulder to shoulder so that the observer had to push his way through.

“Anyone . . . in front of a polling place with a nightstick, that is intimidating for all voters,” the observer stated. While a local university student filmed on a camera phone, one Panther member, when asked by Fox’s reporter why he was standing in front of the polling location, said, “We’re security,” though polling personnel did not acknowledge such security.

I mentioned this on FR a few weeks ago but when I went to Chicago this summer to see the Blue Angels, I was stunned that there were T-shirts worn by many people that had the words: Obama’s Homeland Security — the New Black Panthers. I couldn’t make out the images but it looked like white faces/heads being trampled.

Let's get Chrissy Matthews down there to get face to face with them. It could be a win - win situation!

These will be the first of those Obama chooses for his civilian army funded just as well as our regular military.

Oh, THAT is totally BS.

This is just another example of how 8 years of failed Bush economic policies have hurt America. Erkle used to have a job:

Now, look at him. Damn that Bush.

Regardless of what you think of McCain’s merits, this election is not being conducted fairly.
