Philly voter intimidation

Share
 


Black Panthers blocking a polling station. There are other reports stating they were standing directly in front of the door not letting people in.

I see more and more extreme political things happening and it makes me wonder if we as a country are turning less tolerant and more radical.

Re: Philly voter intimidation

You are misunderstanding their intent. The Black Panthers are merely "Obama's civilian army" trying to ensure a fair voting process for the oppressed members of society. The fact that you refer to their actions as intimidation shows that you are the true racist.

Seriously, how is this alright? How is this legal? If the race in PA is close and McCain comes up the loser I would head to the courts in this issue if I was in charge of his campaign. Unfortunately, I know he probably won't and little to nothing will be said of this in the future. This is the last semi-fair election we'll have in the future anyway. Once Obama and his goons are in charge, rigged elections will become the norm. With a super leftist judiciary ready to rubberstamp whatever they do.

If it was happening to your party, you'd be furious!

Hey, I guess this in retaliation for the Republicans trying to steal the election by instituting ID requirements.

GOP election stealing: Instituting common sense ID requirements

Democrat election stealing: Black Panthers with night sticks

why, bc you think the liberal media would refuse to ever air this or bc the people on this site truly are fair and balanced.

actually i found it off of youtube while scrolling through election coverage. foxnews (you know, the only news organization willing to criticize republicans and <gasp> democrats as well) had nothing to do with me finding out about this.

as least you'll sleep well in your knowledge that obama did not win legitimately. it may make the re-education camps and forced conversions to islam go much easier

Now, comrade, even FoxNews has repeatedly claimed that there is no evidence of voters being blocked at this facility.

Re: Philly voter intimidation

They said no one has made complaints to the police dept about being prevented from going through the door. Quite a bit different than it not happening. Dearest Comrade, I would have expected you to know the vague spin of the difference between those two statements. Plus the one poll watcher in another video said they got shoulder to shoulder and he basically walked right through them.


just for the liberals to giggle with glee over a fox video;-) look at the 1 minute mark

I'm quite positive Obama will win this election regardless of stuff like this. However I must ask the left leaning bunch on here- Doesn't this bother you even a little bit. It seems we are getting more militant and less tolerant of other views. Party headquarters in various states have been vandalized, signs are being stolen, defaced or burned. Degrading language is used against the other party's candidate. This is going on with both parties and it is worrisome. The great thing about America is you can vote without having to be worried about harm coming to you or your property. It seems like we are heading in a direction where that may not be the case.

Re: Philly voter intimidation

Here is the actual story...

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com...polling-place/

One of them was asked to leave, and did so without incident. The other one had a poll watching certificate, so he was allowed to stay.
Also, what could he do? I voted this morning, and in Philly the curtains close when you are voting.
