Republican Rep. Frank Wolf is accusing Attorney General Holder of ignoring his requests for an explanation why the Justice Department dismissed charges of voter intimidation filed against two members of the New Black Panther Party.
The case relates to allegations that members of the New Black Panthers interfered with voters trying to enter a Philadelphia polling station on Election Day 2008.
The Hill newspaper first reported Monday that Wolf, R-Va., also asked Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers to hold a hearing, saying one Black Panther member at the polling place was allegedly carrying a local Democratic committee card.
In a letter dated June 8 to Holder, Wolf wrote that he could not understand how the department could drop the case.
"I worry that the department's commitment to protecting the 'fundamental right to vote' is wavering under your leadership. I fail to understand how you could dismiss a legitimate case against a party that deployed armed men to a polling station -- one of whom brandished a weapon to voters -- who harassed and intimidated voters, and could then decide such actions do not constitute a violation" of the Voting Rights Act, Wolf wrote.

The Left eats at the trough of hard work, innovation and success...it is the irrational, illogical, entitlement-obsessed maggot that really wants special treatment for being a “Party” member when in fact, they are hard-pressed to have ever done anything constructive in their lives (see Clinton, Obama, Schumer, Boxer, Kennedy, Kerry, Harken, Feinstein).
Losers by trade.
Neo-feudalism. That’s what they really want.
Appearances can be deceiving. After all, we are talking an African-American group fronted by the Chicago political machine.
Never in recorded history have either been accused of corruption.

Well brother BO at the Acorn training group said this is how we do things in Chicago and they haven’t had aaaaaaaone them republican mayors since 1927. So it works. Besides, it ain’t “intimidation” it’s just making you aware of what’s correct, and expected.
Of course he's being ignored, and no explanations will be forthcoming. And there's nothing he can do about it.
Smallest book in the world:
“Prominent, uncorrupt, black politicians, city council and up”
OOPS... FORGOT THE ALL IMPORTANT CATEGORY “DEMOCRAT”
The first member of the New Black Panthers that tries to intimidate me, is going to have a very bad day.
Great point. Unwashed masses (see Harry Reid, Summer 2008).
He balks at the visitors (mainly US Citizens and legal, visiting foreign nationals) WHO PAY HIS BLOATED SALARY, BENEFITS and PENSION...
How a maggot like Reid gets elected is baffling to me, unless his opponent is equally slimy.
