DOJ won’t prosecute voter intimidation case

| May 29, 2009

I’m pretty sure you all remember the case of Black Panthers intimidating voters at a Philadelphia polling station last election. Well, The Washington Times reports this morning that career prosecutors at the Department of Justice were ready to drop the hammer on three men involved in the incident, but they were prevented from prosecuting by their superiors;

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.

The incident – which gained national attention when it was captured on videotape and distributed on YouTube – had prompted the government to sue the men, saying they violated the 1965 Voting Rights Act by scaring would-be voters with the weapon, racial slurs and military-style uniforms.

Yeah, it was a slam dunk – they were caught on video declaring “A Black Man will win today” and intimidating voters. Not like those unfounded cases we heard about in the 2000 and 2004 elections that the EEOC investigated and couldn’t prove happened, yet blamed Republicans anyway.

This is a bigger scandal than the Bush Administration firing a few lawyers at DOJ – the Obama Administration has decided that they won’t prosecute voter rights cases as long as the voter rights being violated are those of Republicans. So we can expect the New York Times and the Washington Post to be all over this, huh? Eric Holder will be named Keith Olbermann’s Worst Person of the Week, right?

How did we know that nothing was going to come of this? Well, since the lame stream media said nary a word about it during and after the election, for starters, then there was nothing said for the past 6 months, yet if this were an actual bona fide republican group doing this, with video, it would have been screamed from the mountaintops every single day.

You can always tell when the left is doing something wrong, because they immediately accuse the right of doing, what in actuality, they are really doing.

Any comments of defense from the commies that come on here?

Nothing to see here — move along. Just the wheels of “justice” grinding slowly, but exceedingly fine.

I sure hope that none of the readers of this site were at all surprised by this result. Just another aspect of “Hope and Change” — only not so much of the hope.

…And today’s worst person in the world is Jonn Lilyea, for suggesting that our noble AG, a man of unimpeachable integrity, would act contrary to the laws of this country. You sir, need to shut up….

Different president, different rules. Didn’t you get the memo when you picked up your free pony?

This was step 1. The next step will be Federal Marshalls “enforcing” who gets voted for.

I’d laugh if it wasn’t so much like the Communist “elections.”

And people think the Republicans should just let Judge Sotomayor get a free ride to the really big bench, you know…she didn’t really mean that stuff about making policy on the bench…

UFB! So now the BP’s have the support of the Big O! They have gotten away with flexing their muscles and violated one of our most sacred rights, voting without being intimated, (second only to owning a gun)what is next? The BP’s being hired to make sure unauthorized flags are not present at NASCAR tracks?

O’Dumbo (half white/half arab) learned well from his communist teachers. Pretend to be a black (negro) and use the blacks to your own end. They can always be dumped when no longer of use. Our last election was a primer of what is to come. Like Cuba, NK and Iran we can expect one candadate to get 99.9% of the vote and thousands to visit a ditch (no casket required). When the white house spokesman makes a statement that ‘Americans’, including the press, cannot make comments about the racist soon to be SCJ it’s already over. Like my 82 YO brother said. “It’s a better time to be leaving this world than to be coming in it facing the coming government domination of all daily life”. More destruction of freedom and economic progress by O’Dumbo in 4 months than was gained in 200 years.

Another thought: Let’s play connect the dots, shall we? Where do 2 members of the Weather underground live? Where does the head of the Nation of Islam live? Where did Holder come from? Where was and is, the nucleus of the Black Panther party and NBPP hang out? Where is the President from? Where is Jesse Jackson’s headquarters for Rainbow/Push? If you guessed Chicago; you guessed right. In fact, Calypso Louie, Dorhn/Ayres, and Barry O. all live in the same neighborhood. If you don’t remember where the name Shabazz comes from (he’s the leader of the NBPP), just think back to Malcom X (his real name was Shabazz). You didn’t actually think that these thugs were going to get what they deserve; did you?

I have heard the term “brownshirts” a lot, however, I don’t agree with that comparison. The new color is going to resemble a mix of NoI black and NBPP black, maybe black suits with black berets, sort of a mix of the two. It has nothing to do with race and everything to do with intimidation and control.

History Reader

Civil wars are nothing new. We’ve had one. We are approaching our next. Hot tempers + triggering event(s) = BOOM! WAR

Read ancient and recent (300 years) European History. Europeans wherever they exist on Earth go decades without being violent, then boom!, they go turbo-violent. White folk don’t just kill. They wipe out peoples. They wipe out races. NO RACE ON EARTH IS AS PSYCHO-VIOLENT AS WHITE PEOPLE! White people kill not just because they are angry. White people kill on principle, without remorse, without heart; packs of whites become killing machines, like unfeeling wolf packs.

Remember: Whites and wolves evolved together.

Wolves also evolved with asians, native americans, north africans, indians, persians, arabs…………………….
