An interview with the guy who called the cops - who had apparantly been there and gone by the time the reporter got there. But there was another "peaceful" pather at the door to the building which was also identified at his residence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That some dude was hanging out outside a polling place with a billy club? Seems like the po-po should have acted there. Seems like voter intimidation to me, if that's what happend (IF).

Seemed pretty legit. The Panthers were hanging around outside. Police probably told them to move 100+ feet away from the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The was another panther member there not bothering anyone. They show him on camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilMonkey Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I can see the new slogan now. "Voter intimidation....It's not just for white people anymore." Seriouosly, what drives people to THAT level. The level of actual intimidation. Or of vote fraud. I understand people are passionate, but at what point in your mind does become acceptable to you to just break the law like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id get you a "real" news source since Fox doesn't count, but CNN isn't reporting on it. CNN Caller: Where's Your Report On Black Panther Voter Intimidation in Philly? By Noel Sheppard (Bio | Archive) November 4, 2008 - 13:33 ET A man called in to CNN's Helpline on Tuesday wondering why the network hasn't reported the Black Panthers who were seen standing in front of a Philadelphia polling station this morning, one of them carrying a billy club. According to the caller (audio available here), he was going to vote for Obama until a friend told him about this incident. The caller said, "Now Fox has broadcast this, and I want to know why CNN has not broadcast this yet." Adding to the story, a group representing Election Journal just posted a video at YouTube of Black Panthers in front of a polling station at 1221 Fairmount in Philadelphia (video embedded below the fold): Scary stuff to say the least...but will media report it? Stay tuned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steff Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 IMO, the kid with the phone was making more of it than there was. The white folks going in and out of the building sure didn't look intimidated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longshot7 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 It's only wrong if you don't agree with it. For example, I love the old machine-style way Daley got the vote out for Dems in the past. And you know, Capone and the other gangsters controlled that s*** in the 20s. Means justify ends - if you agree with it. If not, then it's bad.

BigSqwert Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Per TPM Obama Volunteer On Scene Disputes Fox News' Suggestions That Black Panthers Are Intimidating Voters By Greg Sargent - November 4, 2008, 3:04PM Fox News and other conservatives on the Web are pushing hard on the story that two black panthers may be intimidating voters at a polling place in north Philadelphia. But an Obama campaign volunteer who's been on the scene since 6:30 AM this morning tells me in a phone interview that there's been absolutely no intimidation of voters at all today. And a Pennsylvania spokesperson for Obama said the two men aren't in any way affiliated with the campaign. Fox News' story is right here. It says one of two black panthers on the scene was "allegedly blocking the door," says another was "holding a nightstick." and adds that "the concern was that they were intimidating people who were trying to go inside to vote." But Jacqueline Dischell, the Obama volunteer, tells me by phone that that's false. Dischell confirms that there were in fact two black panthers guarding the polling place, a nursing home on Fairmont Avenue in north Philadelphia, earlier this morning. But she says one was an officially designated poll watcher (it was not immediately clear which municipal office had designated him in that role), and the second was his friend. The second panther, who left two or three hours ago, was the one with the nightstick, she says. Dischell says that earlier this morning a few men who identified themselves as being from the McCain campaign came and started taking pictures of the two panthers on their cell phones. She suggested that they seemed to be baiting the panthers, and that the designated watcher may have given one of them the finger in response to the picture taking. The police came roughly an hour and a half later. She says she talked to the cops and told them there had been no incident. The police drove away without getting out of the car, she adds. Some time later, a second, larger group of men whose affiliation couldn't be determined came with real cameras and started taking more pictures. Maybe 15 minutes later the cops returned. This time, they spoke to people on both sides, and told the panther not designated to watch the polls to leave, which he did without an argument. "There was no fight, nothing," she says. Fox News arrived on the scene at around that time and started interviewing people near the entrance. The building manager asked the Fox reporter to leave, she says, and he moved further from the entrance. That's where things now stand. "There has been no fighting, no voter intimidation at all," she said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many German's agreed with gassing the Jews. Was that not bad? Did the means justify the end? Not to pipcka fight or take a shot but that is the most idiotic statement i have heard on here in a while, and that includes a boatload from AHB.
