Yeah, way to sensationalize a headline. That's not what their intent is at all, and they will not be engaging anyone.

Like good soldiers, they aren't targeting any one group, but all groups that would attempt to intimidate any type of voter.

But members of the Black Panthers, a black nationalist fringe group, aren’t going to be the veteran volunteers’ only concern.
"Bullies at the Ballot Box," a new report from Common Cause and Demos, concluded that right-wing groups, including a Tea Party spin-off group called True the Vote, are training "poll watchers" to target minorities on Election Day.

Well of course that's not their intent. And it's certainly not why they'll be in Philadelphia where the Black Panthers were in 2008.

We should all keep our eye out for voter intimidation.

Agreed. But I salute these veteran's for what they're doing considering the case against the black panthers was dismissed by the "Justice" Department. Had it been the Tea Party or anyone else you can bet they would have been prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. This administration let the black panthers off with a slap on their hands.

They don't seem to be deterring the NBP . FOX just reported the NBP is at a polling center in Phili .

Yep, saw that, and why not? Afterall, the Attorney General has given them a Get Out Of Jail Free card so they can attempt to intimidate anyone they want.

no Black Panthers or UN observers in Fishers this morning.

Apparently the Black Panthers are back on the case. Also, there are reports of Republican poll watchers being kicked out in PA (not necessarily related).

Well that article was certainly specific about which polling places were being affected.

I'm sure the U.N. inspectors will be on the job and help to rectify the problems.

Almost 70 court appointed election officials kicked out of Philly polling places. Is this really happening in America?

I know some people think this is funny, but a lot of men and women have given their lives to ensure we have the freedom to vote for our elected officials. I served 6 years in the military and what is going on in Philly and likely other places like Chicago just makes my blood boil. So make fun of it if you want, but I don't think it's very funny that this is what is happening to our country.

The count so far...

2008: Two Black Panthers at one polling site

2012: One Black Panther at one polling site.


THE SHOCK AND HORROR!!!! What will we ever do? So news-worthy.

I hear you. I served 26. The people who make light of this are extremely disrespectful of us and those who gave more than us.

I was happy to see a line. Took about 25 min to get thru. One of the pole workers apologized for my wait. I said thanks for being here and that I was happy to wait. It was the longest line to vote we have ever had in Whiteland. There were no Blue Helmets or Black berets, and no one said diddly about my CC. (Of course they didn't see it either.)

 

[2001FZ1]

I couldn't find any Black Panther stuff on the CNN web site. Its all a lie from Fox News.

This is so ironic...

The black panthers claim they gather to protect voters from intimidation...

Now another group is gathering to protect voters from intimidation...

The only thing these stories lack is voters actually being intimidated....

Well, here is story of a voter being intimidated by an Obama supporter with a gun and another being punched. These incidents were in Detroit.
