F FAUX NEWS: BLACK PANTHERS INTIMIDATING WHITE PEOPLE TO STOP THEM VOTING
Their main headline is TROUBLE AT THE BALLOT BOX.

THEY SAY WIDESPREAD PROBLEMS AT THE BALLOT BOX.

IT SEEMS IT BE VOTER FRAUD ALL THE WAY ON THE FAUX NEWS CHANNEL.

HOW COULD THEY BE SO LOW?

1. Didn't the Black Panthers cease to exist about 35 years ago?
This reeks of desperation.

30. Rep. Bobby Rush (D-IL01) was a Black Panther
Barack Obama once ran against Rush in a primary and lost.

Thus, Obama began his political career literally on the same stage with a Black Panther.

So, OBAMA IS A BLACK PANTHER!!111!!! DO NOT VOTE FOR HIM1!!!11!!!!

11. I don't know, but I've had two co-workers pop in to tell me about it.
A Black Panther in Pennsylvania somewhere is threatening McCain voters and screaming "White Power don't count here no more!" Yes, both coworkers made sure to catch that "black" accent. I guess they want to be sure we know not to vote for that risky fellow, who happens to be black...

Oh well. The upside is, you don't make progress without pissing off the conservatives, and they don't go away pretty. Hopefully, though, they'll just go away.

15. The Black Panther party has been inactive since 1976
they were just two rogues using the name. The NBPP has no affiliation with any of the former members who have insisted that this party is illegitimate.

There's no indication it actually is a polling station.

That's damn fine resolution for a cell phone.

There's no timestamp.

37. According to Fox News: Black "panther" a registered poll watcher.
While the camera operator has been discovered to be a liar and election disruptor, accusing ACORN, for instance, of being a pedophile front.

40. Only white people are allowed to be poll watchers. Apparently.
They don't need the sticks but there's nothing wrong with them standing in front of the polling location. And the guy with the camera was trying to egg them on.

58. To me they look like members of a group I remember from
NYC that are part of a type of neighborhood watch, their name had something to do with their berets. They use to patrol the subways and other high crime areas. That is why they have the night sticks. That was the only weapon they carried, if I remember it correctly and they handled some pretty sticky situations. Some people liked the idea of them being out there and some didn't, but when there was no police protection available, it was okay to feel a little safer with them patroling. :shrug:

43. I tried to vote at that precinct.
They held me down and carved "BP" on my face. Backwards, for some reason.
Originally, they said it was supposed to be "BO" for Barack Obama, but the "O" part didn't turn out. So they went with "BP."

45. TWO so-called Black Panthers at one polling site
And I'm sure they've been talking about this non-stop. I just heard this on a local radio station.

Really pisses me off.

57. Doesn't matter if it's one polling site. Why does someone need to stand there with a nightstick
unless he's a cop? It's wrong for anyone to feel intimidated to vote, I don't care what political party they support.

51. Ah, I couldn't tell

If I had to guess, I'd say they were probably there because they were worried that black voters would be intimidated and they wanted to back them up, NOT because they wanted to intimidate anyone. There were reports of black voters being turned away without much reason 4 years ago.

Wonder if these were some of the same "Blacks for McCain" who showed up to protest at an Obama speech a few weeks ago? It would make sense that they would try to cause some trouble.
