Can you just imagine if there was actual videotape of the Ku Klux Klan in full white robe and hood dress, standing in front of a polling place with nightsticks, intimidating would be voters from exercising their right to vote on Election Day. Our side has been accused of this kind of stuff for years, especially when the Democrat candidate for President has lost an election. We heard about this kind of stuff going on in Florida back in 2000 but there's never been any video or even a photo that has ever surfaced that has shown such a despicable act. Well now it has actually happened. Only it wasn't the Ku Klux Klan doing the intimidating of voters. It was the New Black Panther Party and it happened at a polling place in Philadelphia.

I want to know who gave the Black Panthers a heads up that they didn’t need to show for court well before the charges were dropped.

I would hope that a wise white man with the richness of his experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a black female who hasn’t lived that life

While I am certain that Eric Holder dropped the charges because the accused agree with 0bama politically, I still have to wonder who were they intimidating? Philadelphia isn't exactly a bastion of conservative voters. If the same people were trying this out in the more redder parts of Penna. then I would say there could be a case against them.

It doesn't matter where they did it. The simple fact is that they were there in "uniform" with weapons. I wouldn't be any happier about it if they were klansmen or my neighbors doing it at my polling place.

Although the images of uniformed black panthers standing outside polling places holding billy clubs is ugly, I fail to see how that can influence anybodies vote on a private secret ballott. In fact, as long as they are not allowed to enter the actual booth with the actual voter, I can only see such an act as extremely counter-productive

They may not frighten you or me but we can’t read the minds of other voters.

Lots of people did. People on this forum refuse to realize that no matter how many links to supremacist organizations he has, the public doesn’t care.

The public and press won’t face up to their mistakes.

Who would the KKK intimidate?

The Messiah is a lot more than a White-hating racists, that is just the tip of the iceberg.

The public and press won’t face up to their mistakes.

Actually the press thinks they own public opinion and so far with Ozonabama they do but with employement still dropping, with the longest "recession" since the great depression, even the dumbies will eventually catch on. Ozonabama just hopes that he'll have enough control by then to continue driving us toward depression where he'll be firmly in control.

That is what this is all about, control and he wants to have us headed toward a communist central government.

You write that you fail to see how the events in PA could influence potential voters. I think what you are not realizing is that the presence of these alleged thugs may have been a filtering mechanism for who was allowed to vote in the first place.

I myself was once intimidated by a thug like this at a polling place, and I almost didn’t vote as a result.

The very first time I voted, at age 18, I was living in a University of Chicago residence hall on the far south side of campus (Burton-Judson Courts, for anyone who knows the area). As such, my polling place was south of the campus. Anyone who knows the area will know that south of the University of Chicago was not a usual hangout for skinny white kids.

At the time, I was a very skinny, short white kid. I went looking for the polling place, found it, went inside, and was immediately confronted by a large middle-aged black man who said to me “what are you doing here, lilly?” (I later realized that “lilly” was probably short for “lilly white.”) His body language was clear: I wasn’t going to get past him to vote. Like the apparent thugs in the linked video from PA, my questioner didn’t hit me, didn’t shoot at me, didn’t do anything overt, but clearly intended to block me from voting.

Fortunately for me, an election judge nearby interceded, took charge, and helped me cast my first vote. If the election judge hadn’t been nearby, I don’t know if I would have been voting that day. I suppose I could have left, and tried to come back with a police escort, but I don’t know if I would have been successful in such an attempt. One thing seemed certain at the time: I wasn’t going to make it to the voting booth on my own.

So, please take it from me, people can, in the absence of nearby help, be dissuaded from voting.

In the story from PA, there was not one, but two, potentially intimidating persons at the polling place. Both were apparently out of view of the election judges. And one was apparently armed. I can certainly imagine myself, as a young, very busy, person, being unable to get in to vote. Therefore, I can imagine others in the same situation. In short, I can imagine these apparent thugs not directing how people vote, but influencing who votes at all. This is a problem, in my opinion.
