Obama to voters: Armed KKK can now stand in front of polling locations!

Taskr, I watched the video, and the guys didn't even intimidate the white guy standing there. It really looked to me more like the guy who was recording this was trying to make it look worse than it was. I don't agree with ANY racist groups, but I also believe in the constitution, and that gives them the right to assemble. I noticed that the links you provided didn't give any explanation of why Obama, or Holder dropped the charges. I would like the hear the other side before taking a blog, and two right wing republican puppets organizations at their word.

This is a video of an interview with the man who called the police. I watched this unfold on television on election day. This man did have the black panthers try to block the doors to keep him from entering the polling place. He called the police as he realized this was an attempt at intimidation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qX4dcvIYk9A&feature=related I have no idea why anyone would feel that this is acceptable, whether they are right wing, left wing or some independent voter intending to write in his mailman's name on the ballot. It's simply intimidation, regardless of who does it. Now, if the Black Panthers or the KKK or the Daughters of the Revolution want to stand across the street carrying protest signs, they have every right to do so under the Constitution. They may peaceably assemble and exercise free speech. But it's illegal to try to stop a voter from exercising his right to vote through an implied threat of violence.

There are two sets of standards in America. White folks cannot get away with the same things that blacks can. If that had been KKK members instead of the New Black Panthers, they would be in jail right now... if they hadn't been already killed right on the spot. If we were truly a nation of equality, then your premise would be correct. I say, that come next election, any attempt at voter intimidation should be met with blind unreasoning violence. Since we are no longer a nation of laws, then we must revert to the ultimate law of survival. Cry Havoc... and cut loose the dogs of war....

[b]Hey Taskr...I see the usual LATOBs maroons are here (except maybe for anniepa...don't see her. Yet...). Nlife or whoever's new to me. What a boring jerk. If someone is going to enter a debate, they should give legitimate rebuttals. Not surprised Nlife doesn't know how. He's what is known here 'bouts as an "O-hole." I think you can figure that one out.... Keep up the good work. As more & more catch on to what a lying creep that poser in the Oval Office is, the more will finally admit they goofed. Majorly. * Lips Attached To Obama's Butt Maggiepie "WHERE'S THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE?"[/b]

No way on earth they would allow that. They would be extremely quick to punish, double standard be damned. They would make an example of the KKK members. Race baiters, hangers on, and those with that extra dosage of white guilt would instantly cite how it's "different" when the KKK does it, because the KKK has a violent history and those "other" militants were justified because the white man in America has impeded the black man's progress. Maureen Dowd would walk away with the PP for her brilliant (pukes a lil bit) retrospective look at the Klan and how its numbers, though not nearly as large as yesteryear, are still enough to adversely impact minorities in society with bullying tactics and out and out violence. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson would be like the prophets -- the ones who knew America had never changed. They would lead America's children on mass marches, demanding justice, not from the KKK members responsible, but from an oppressive white America as a whole. Michael Eric Dyson would be the new society czar, since he knew all along that widespread racism in America has only been getting worse since the end of slavery and the CRM, and his brilliant (pukes a lil bit) teaching of that "knowledge" to the impressionable minds at Georgetown U. Every single white person who didn't blindly follow Obama without question would be depicted a racist by the MSN and the admin., being called KKK supporters and worse. Affirmative action would kick into mega overdrive, with whites being blatantly and unremorsefully fired from their positions in order to inject a 50/50-or-better diversity into the workplace.

I live just outside of Philadelphia, that's where we get our news from and this was HEAVILY covered here. As most of you know I am a liberal thinker (some may dispute that the thinker part, but I don't mind :) & an Obama supporter. This, however, is indisputably wrong! ANY intimidation of voters is wrong, right or left. I am/or will be disappointed if this ends with one measly "Don't come within 100 yards of a polling place with a weapon". that just will not do...

Let us remember equal protection under the law. If the Black Panthers can get away with this then so to could the KKK.

Taskr, I'm totally opposed to voter intimidation by anyone of or by any race or groups or whatever. I'm against racism, regardless of who is guilty of it. I'm not pleased by what I know of this particular case so far but I admit to not being well-versed in it because I've had other things going on recently and I haven't heard much about it or paid much attention to it. Yes, I'm a liberal and yes I support Obama but I don't have my head up his butt or any of the other crude things another poster here said. If there's ever been anyone who has agree with any politician 100% of the time on 100% of the issues I'd like to meet that person but my guess would be that person is a blind follower of whomever it is they worship.

The KKK is nothing to worry about. The fact that Obama is president is a strong testimony to the fact that the KKK is a joke...

The sky is falling... Or wait that is just the GOP!

I do want to stand in front of a polling place brandishing a weapon and throw out insults. The problem is I'm not a member of a hate group. Do you think 0bama and Holder are saying I have to join a hate group before I go to the polling place? There are so many and so little time before the next election. Maybe the DHS will mark the Libertarian Party as racists... then I should be good to go. You gotta love this whole precedence setting thing, because now I can go 'well, that guy didn't get in trouble. why are you harassing me?'
