This is horrendous. I don’t care which side you’re on, that kind of behavior at the polls is deserving of the full punishment allowed by law. This reeks.

(Did my account age out from disuse, get purged, or what?)

Wes,

FA had a hack attack recently so Curt had to make some changes to user accts etc.

If you e-mail him he may be able to help.

Between his Socialist Cabinet Members, Appointments of of “Czars” that have authority but need nor go through confirmation hearings and are not held responsible to the Citizens, his Un-Constitutional interference in the Private Banking & Business Sectors, ineptitude with Economics, Domestic Policy and Foreign Policy, appointment of a questionable Judge for SCOTUS and apparent approval of street thugs to patrol polling places with batons…I’m wondering what the next affront to non-minority, tax paying, law abiding Americans is next on his Agenda?

Just got back from Colorado Springs to deliver my Daughter to USAFA. She reported yesterday and took the Oath of Allegiance this morning in Air Force Blue. Getting ready to pack for France to visit the Normandy coast and pay some long overdue respects to those that Liberated Europe for the second time in the last Century. My first time on the European Continent as a Tourist. I could fly to Europe Space Available on Military Aircraft as a Retired Officer but that American Taxpayer is getting spanked and abused hard enough right now.

I will go see the beaches, the villages that were hard fought for and places where Heroes rest, Cemetaries. If anyone asks I will tell them that maybe France can cross the Atlantic pond like Lafayette did to help liberate America and no, I did not vote for Obama, do not endorse his policies his agenda and will treat him like any post Charlemagne Pretender to any Throne like the oppressed common folk did in Europe centuries ago with contempt.

My point: Black Panthers, La Raza, MS-13, ACORN and the Modern Socialist/Democratic Party are a greater threat to America than the Taliban , Hizzbollah, ALQ or Hezbollah. Domestic Enemies. Obama finds support from them and I see some “interesting times” ahead for the mainstream America that is betrayed/silent and will to pay the bills when they come due for at least a generation or two if they can find jobs here or the economy is not like that of Kenya or Somalia.

The refusal to prosecute armed thugs at polling places by USDOJ is inexcusable. Refusal by the State of Pennsylvania to prosecute is inexcusable. When Punks and Criminals are Above the Law, what is next? When Laws are not enforced what happens then?

You Constitutional Scholars, legitimate ones…please find for me Economic or Social Justice in the Bill of Rights or the Constitution?

While I’m away I can send and receive messages and I will send commentary and digital pictures to one of the FA folks here. I have two guys to look after my place while I am away.
They love the trout fishing here and are sons of one of I guys that I served with. Rangers home on leave, one recuperating from wounds and the other just back from the Stans. They are locals
and call Montana home when not deployed. They did not vote for Obama either, voted Military Absentee so their votes were most likely not counted. They have excess Leave to burn and like my place. They can hunt and fish here, stay at my home, repel borders, sleep in any bed they choose, use my grill or smoker but my my liquor cabinet is off limits.

Ok then. DOJ under Holder is no worse than under Reno?
SCOTUS is no worse than with the current load of Liberals after Souter retires?
Your 401Ks are no worse now than after 01.20.09?
Are the so called “Inherited Deficits” an honest talking point now after ARRA?
Is America more Safe with an Amateur Poseur and apparent Appeaser as Pretend POTUS?
Do You Fear or Trust Your Government?

My Daughter told me to run for Office. I just told her I Loved her dearly and to mind her Own Business. Four years at USAFA will be her concerns. I will not get soiled by Politics after despising Politicians, Liars and Temporary Officeholders for most of my adult life.

Being a Retired Soldier and a Patriot and a Father is in my skill level.

Damn it all..I miss Ronald Reagan!

I know two guys in black fatigues that need hugs! Oh and I’ve always thought the Black Panthers should go with brighter colors, maybe a nice baby blue or even light yellow.

All black uniforms are so 1970’s!

Ron

Ron, the New Obama crew has not been supplied them with Armani and Gucci gear yet. Earmarked but not signed off on yet. Don’t worry Bud. You will pay for it.

Old Trooper:
Good one, that made me laugh out loud. I thought my comment was funny but yours was definitely funnier.

As a side note, the Panthers need to ditch the berets as it makes them look French.

Have a good weekend.

Ron

Ron, I wore berets for years…that is just old hat.

Have a grand weekend and stay safe!

@Old Trooper: Make sure to take a lot of photos on your trip. I’m looking forward to a full report from you when you get back.

I just have a sneaking suspicion that we’ll be hearing about these guys before too long and their visit to a local morgue…I just don’t think they’ll last too long on the streets with their not-so-humble attitude.

OT, thank you for raising a child who understands and appreciates the many gifts America has given her and is willing to return the gift ten fold by serving her country. May your trip go well without any problems or inconviences and a speedy return to the fold to show all us land bound grunts your digital experiances.

OT and Ron, good comments; I also wore a beret in uniform, mine was originally made of pool table felt. I live in the Philly area, and sadly, voter intimidation of suspected GOPers and refusal to prosecute is not new, but it is virtually over-the-top policy now. In fact, you would get prosecuted for defending yourself, but the party sponsored thugs will run free.
I believe the Armani/gucci funding by taxpayers is included in the ACORN funding already passed and the new budget/census funding. The Alinsky stuff requires uniforms to show committment, and the uniforms chosen are designed to be intimidating to both the black/hispanic and the white communities targeted. The thugs do south, west, north and northwest Philly, and, by order, avoid center-city and the northeast, where the thugs would be counterproductive. Sad.
Have a good tour, OT, enjoy.

It’s pitiful to watch members of the top law enforcement agency in the nation become criminals in O’Dumbo’s crime family. Tops off the start of the Department of Homeland Insecurity’s attack on patriotism (democrats have none). Two instances in the past few days. A former military member was detained for hours by some small town, small minded cops because of patriotic stickers on his vehicle. Now some low life democrat head of a homeowners assoc has ordered a former (disabled) Marine to remove his marine stickers from his vehicle of pay fines every day. How much longer will the people take this BS before the violence starts and spreads across the country? I don’t even want to know a democrat when it starts.

Old Trooper, Godspeed to you, man, and I will be saying a prayer or two for you as you go overseas for a very memorable visit. Please keep us informed as to how your visit goes. May it be a positive experience for you in a very miraculous way.

Scrapiron:

Can you come up with something original?? Bush’s administration has been called a crime family for years. It’s much more applicable to Bush than Obama.
Also to suggest that Democrats have no Patriotism is totally off the wall. How much right wing
Kool Aid have you been drinking??

It is so good that the Republi-CONS are no longer in the charge!

“*Letting thugs outside polling station go with a slap on the wrist!*”

I guess its Team Obama’s ‘Smart Power’ in action, ‘unclench your fist, put down the stick and have a some sugar free cookies, lets talk about aid and bailouts and spreading the wealth’….
Its the new ‘other means smart power method’ to deal with captured terrorists, rogue regimes and guttersnipes… and no matter how you look at it, financial and otherwise, average Americans are getting mugged at every touch and turn.
.

@Real American Patriot:

Can you come up with something original?? Bush’s administration has been called a crime family for years.

Yes, and those accusations coming from those who stake their lives on man-made global warming, and that 9/11 was an inside job questioning whether there really were jets flying into buildings, and who called Pres. Bush Hitler, Satan, Idiot…there’s a definite credibility problem with the source of those claims, if you get my drift.

It’s much more applicable to Bush than Obama.

Hmmm, I don’t ever remember big, white males in uniform, called the “white panthers” a racist group who espouse marxist theories, carrying nightsticks, and standing at polling locations during the Bush Administration to intimidate voters who didn’t vote for the “white man”. Maybe I’m forgetting something here?

CRAP is probably pointing to the repeatedly disproven claims about voter suppression in FL.
Seriously CRAP, take your anti-psychotic medications already. You’ll see DUNG and the other koslims in a new way…thru the prism of sanity.

Both, the Black Panthers & the media guy had the right to be their & no one claimed that they, the black panthers had made any attempt to stopped any one from voting.

The black Panthers were official poll watchers so what is all the fuss about?

…It is about a bunch of right-wingers trying to make something out of nothing. It is just another example of pure conservative emotional psychobabble.

(Baby voice) The Black men scared me!!

ROTFLMAO

This GOP voter intimidation case seems to be more likewhat we see happening in Phili where the Repub seems to be going to extremes to question those who have the legal right to be at the polling station. The one guy should not have had the club though.

GOP Voter Intimidation Charges In S.C.

Yeah, I like the fact that you repugs can’t intimidate Democrats anymore.

I noticed that you removed all my you tube links to show how full of crap this thread is. Let alone the fact that my security systems in my computer are going off after I posted my post.

I don’t care, because my computer is only used for fighting repugs.

@Marcell: So you think a Ku Klux Klansmen in his robes standing outside a polling place would be just fine?

As for your comment that “It is about a bunch of right-wingers trying to make something out of nothing. ”

Did you bother to read the article before commenting? If so, how could you miss this?

To support its evidence, the government had secured an affidavit from Bartle Bull, a longtime civil rights activist and former aide to Sen. Robert F. Kennedy’s 1968 presidential campaign. Mr. Bull said in a sworn statement dated April 7 that he was serving in November as a credentialed poll watcher in Philadelphia when he saw the three uniformed Panthers confront and intimidate voters with a nightstick.Inexplicably, the government did not enter the affidavit in the court case, according to the files.
“In my opinion, the men created an intimidating presence at the entrance to a poll,” he declared. “In all my experience in politics, in civil rights litigation and in my efforts in the 1960s to secure the right to vote in Mississippi … I have never encountered or heard of another instance in the United States where armed and uniformed men blocked the entrance to a polling location.”Mr. Bull said the “clear purpose” of what the Panthers were doing was to “intimidate voters with whom they did not agree.” He also said he overheard one of the men tell a white poll watcher: “You are about to be ruled by the black man, cracker.”
He called their conduct an “outrageous affront to American democracy and the rights of voters to participate in an election without fear.” He said it was a “racially motivated effort to limit both poll watchers aiding voters, as well as voters with whom the men did not agree.”

I put it in nice bold type in the original post. If you have a vision problem which prevented you from reading it then kindly ask someone to read it to you.

I don’t see many differences between the black panthers & most in the conservative movement. You are saying they intimidated voters with their presence & the night stick but even the person who shot the video wasn’t intimidated enough to not approach them.

I think it has more to do with politricks than anything. Yeah they may have scared you cowards but they didn’t scare the woman talking on the cell phone, that is why I am calling you a coward.

These issues help make me dislike the Republican Party even more, because you are trying to compare them to the KKK & they are nowhere in the zone of the KKK. It’s just a right-wing news paper, The Washington Times, triggering your emotions to make you feel helpless.

It also shows that you people don’t have anything better to offer America other than your sick smears. I wish most of you crazies drift off into the American backdrop & let the serious patriots take over, because you are just spinning your wheels in order to fan the flames of racism; you are only making it difficult for yourselves, because the courts & most Americans aren’t buying your pure emotional psychobabble.

I apoligize if I am offending you, but you should talk about things that are more productive than those you hate, because most Americans are turned off by your soft bigotry. That is why you couldn’t win any of the battleground states.

The sad thing is I passionately dislike the radical black movements for the same reasons why I dislike the conservatives, because you all think the same, you use emotion over logic.

@Marcell: Apparently you just don’t get it do you?

You accuse us of making this whole thing up as some sort of right wing nut job fantasy and then totally ignore the evidence provided by a former staffer on the campaign of Senator Robert Kennedy.

Or, in your world, are Kennedy people now so far to the right as to be considered conservatives?

See the video that Curt provided above if you want better examples of the racist presence these men created outside this polling station.

Oh, and thanks by the way for providing cover to the KKK in case they ever want to try anything similar in the future. After all, you said no one was intimidated by these baton wielding thugs. So if some KKK guys show up with German Shepherd dogs that would be fine with you too!

P.S. Start lecturing me on “logic” when you actually show some yourself. Thus far, your comment is ignorant in the extreme.

” The government did not enter the affidavit in the court case, according to the files.”

Case closed!!

@Marcell repeated: ” The government did not enter the affidavit in the court case, according to the files.”

And why not Marcell?

Did they think some guy who worked for RFK and worked for civil rights was a right winger as you suggest above?

Read his affidavit then tell me there was no problem here:

http://michellemalkin.cachefly.net/michellemalkin.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/bull-declaration_04-07-20092.pdf

Yeah, the case is closed. It was closed by political appointees of the President.

You would scream bloody murder if Bush had done this to benefit one of his supporters.

Marcell, You are a Racist and a Fool. Intimidation by Armed Thugs is criminal and You can draw no sense of that.?I’d say it is a Hate Crime as well. Try that crap in my neck of the woods and get charged in State Court. Try it at the place where I vote and get a face full of pepper spray at the very least. I am not intimidated by anyone of any color or size.

I wish FA has an ignore function or blatant racist trolls would be banned.

This would have never happened if Republicans who went there to vote would have given them cookies.

If I were a racist fool, why would I post this at my blog on May 30, 2008? This is my response to the white priest who went into Rev Wong’s (Wright) Church & started spewing his hate.

By Marcell

Senator Barack Obama should sit down & ask himself the big what If question. What if he loses? Then ask himself; if he did lose, why did he lose? It won’t take rocket science to point his thoughts to Trinity United Church.

I never have been a gang member. But I was raised around them. I have family members who are gang members. I also have nearly been killed by a few gang bangers. I have had to confront them with fear & trembling, but I did what I had to do to survive in the ghetto.

I also know that gang members don’t operate like those Chicago pastor/ intellectuals who suppose to have Obama’s back.

Even though I know Obama is qualified to be President, I am voting for him because he is a black man.

If Obama becomes the next President, he will contradict the message that many poverty pimps teach to the poor. They convince blacks to believe that a black person can’t make it in racist Amerikkka. The living contradictions like to preach the foolishness to the poor, despite the fact that they, themselves are successful.

I have learned from studying people that with the right thinking, A poor person, or his or her next generation can be just as successful as former President Ronald Reagan, who came from a struggling family.

Reagan’s dad was a shoe salesman & an alcoholic that didn’t want his son to grow up struggling like he, himself had to. If Reagan’s dad would have blames his circumstances on the man, Reagan would not have been successful.

I really don’t care if Trinity United Church put a white face on the stage & he preached a message that contradicted a bible scripture like Hebrews 17:14-17.”Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.

15See to it that no one misses the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.

16See that no one is sexually immoral, or is godless like Esau, who for a single meal sold his inheritance rights as the oldest son.

17Afterward, as you know, when he wanted to inherit this blessing, he was rejected. He could bring about no change of mind, though he sought the blessing with tears.”

The reality is, something is wrong with that church.

Until the Obama Family look within themselves & reject the message coming out of Chicago’s, Trinity United church that suppose to be “of God & Christ,” he will fail to become the next President.

Yeah, those cats are Billary & Hillary’s agents, but you can’t defeat them without publicly rejecting what they represent.
In this blog, you are going to see classic cases of what’s wrong with mixing politics & religion. Mixing politics & religion only corrupts that which is meant to be uncorrupted.

Let me add. White folks don’t want to hear black people talking about race in a way that points fingers at their racism & ignores our racism.

Mike’s America

I am not going to tap your link, but I will read & discuss what you pull out of that link & post it at this site.

PS. I really like the software that created this web page. I am wondering what is the name of it & how much did it cost?

@Marcell: The document is a PDF, but an image file of the original affadavit. It is not text selectable.

It’s approx. 3 pages long and very clearly states his experience in voting rights cases as well as his position as poll observer at this polling place on the day in question and what he saw.

If you don’t want to read it that’s your choice.

But unless you want to retract your comment that this is some right wing fantasy then I don’t see how you have ANY credibility on this matter whatsoever.

P.S. If there is a dangerous virus present here I suggest it’s the one in your brain.

Hi Mike’s America

The reality is & was, those tough looking guys were there not to intimidate voters, but to intimidate conservatives who engage in voter fraud. The Dems including myself wasn’t planning on allowing you right-wingers to outsmart us like you did in Florida 2000.

Might I add, how do you out smart those who engage in voter fraud for conservatives? You do that by winning BIG, & I am into putting together strategies that will help those I support win BIG. You could have stolen Pennsylvania & it wouldn’t have made a difference.

Wow!! The last two victories for the Democrats have been won by extremely large margins.

This is how it should be & was done:

@Marcell said: “The reality is & was, those tough looking guys were there not to intimidate voters, but to intimidate conservatives who engage in voter fraud. “

You have evidence to present which corroborrates your view that these armed thugs in militia uniforms were there to prevent vote fraud? If so, show it. And I mean EVIDENCE, not just another of your left wing fantasies.

I’ve provided you with the sworn affidavit of a witness on the scene who describes what he saw at the scene but you have totally ignored it.

Furthermore, Democrats, particularly ACORN agents, are well known for voter fraud. Nothing but your delusional, willfully ignorant mind can alter that fact.

As I said above, your failure to retract your utterly ignorant statement regarding this episode deprives you of all credibility and me of any further need to consider your remarks for anything but what they are: totally ignorant bull crap.
