Racially divided armed groups at polling places on election days
I’m kinda liking the sound of that. This is the change we all hoped for.

Do I have this right?

White House plays the race card. It was a slam-dunk case, militant members of the New Black Panters, who are not connected to the original Black Panthers, stood at polling places, armed with weapons, defied people to come inside.

The same men stood on a streetcorner and shouted a whole host of terroristic threats like this: "We didn't come out here to play this game. There's too much serious business going on in the black community to be out here sliding through South Street with white dirty cracker whore [ BLEEP ] on our arms. And we call ourselves black men with African garb on. What the hell is wrong with you, black man? You had a (unintelligible) with a white girl on your damn arm. You want freedom? You are going to have to kill some crackers. You might have to kill some of their babies."

oops, looks like this is a big ball of lies.

for those of us not inclined to leave it to foxnews and legions of gullible dipshits...

"Decision not to pursue criminal charges was made by Bush DOJ, not Obama
Bush DOJ, not Obama, made decision not to pursue criminal charges. Before President Bush left office, the Department of Justice filed a civil complaint asking for an injunction against the New Black Panther Party and some of its members. Inhis May 14 testimony before the Commission on Civil Rights, Assistant Attorney General Thomas Perez explained that the Bush administration's Justice Department "determined that the facts did not constitute a prosecutable violation of the criminal statutes" but did "file a civil action on January 7th, 2009." From Perez's testimony:
PEREZ: Moving to the matter at hand, the events occurred on November 4th, 2008. The Department became aware of these events on Election Day and decided to conduct further inquiry.
After reviewing the matter, the Civil Rights Division determined that the facts did not constitute a prosecutable violation of the criminal statutes. The Department did, however, file a civil action on January 7th, 2009, seeking injunctive and declaratory relief under 11(b) against four defendants.
Obama DOJ actually obtained judgment against individual carrying weapon at polling place

May 2009: DOJ obtained default judgment against Shabazz for carrying weapon outside polling station. On May 18, 2009, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania entered default judgment against Samir Shabazz. Inhis May 14 testimony before the Commission on Civil Rights, Perez stated that the Justice Department had obtained "sufficient evidence to sustain the charge" of voter intimidation against Shabazz, identified by Perez as "the defendant who had the nightstick," and that "the default judgment was sought and obtained as it related to him." Perez testified:
PEREZ: Based on the careful review of the evidence, the Department concluded that the evidence collected supported the allegations in the complaint against Minister King Samir Shabazz. The Department, therefore, obtained an injunction against defendant King Samir Shabazz, prohibiting him from displaying a weapon within 100 feet of an open polling place on any Election Day in the City of Philadelphia or from otherwise violating Section 11(b).
The Department considers this injunction to be tailored appropriately to the scope of the violation and the constitutional requirements and will fully enforce the injunction's terms."

The guy was on his way out.
besides....
If Everything was dropped about it, how was there anything to drop now...
It's 2010?

the other thing is....
Bush stabbed all his constituents in the back form the time he and Paulson
came out to announce the bailout.
It doesn't mean Holder doesn't have a duty to prosecute the case right on.

1. ask the legions of dipshits and foxnews why they resurrected it. also - you may have noticed this - often times legal matters take a long time to fully resolve.
2. the thing they did get him on WAS DURING OBAMA, after the other stuff was dropped BEFORE OBAMA TOOK OFFICE. the DOJ under HOLDER DID PURSUE THE REMAINING CHARGE.

Leaders of the New Black Panther Party express joy in a newly available video that Attorney General Eric Holder tolerated their voter-intimidation activities and dropped a case against them.

In the video below, Malik Shabazz, president of the New Black Panther Party, explains at a NBPP meeting why New Black Panthers were sent to polling places with batons. His comments include some jokes, as when he cracked to members “You know we don’t carry batons…. PSYCHE! I’m just playin’.” Shabazz goes on to explain that his brother got a pass from the Obama Justice Department because “Justice Department leadership changed into the hands of a black man by the name of Eric Holder.” Good to know.

J. Christian Adams, the Department of Justice attorney who resigned because the Department of Justice would neither prevent nor allow him to testify on the case, did note that some people in the DOJ “argued that the law should not be used against black wrongdoers because of the long history of slavery and segregation. Less charitable individuals called it ‘payback time.’”‘

Adams also testified before the U.S. Civil Rights Commission that he “I was told by Voting Section management that cases are not going to be brought against black defendants [for] the benefit of white victims.”

In early January, 2009, the Department of Justice brought charges against them under the voter intimidation statutes of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. And, when none of the defendants appeared for trial, in April, 2009 the court entered a default judgment against them. All that remained was a hearing by the court to pronounce sentences against the defendants. Then, strangely, in May, 2009 the Department of Justice dismissed the charges.

We are now hearing from J. Christian Adams, one of the DOJ attorneys who handled the matter, and, what he is telling us isn’t good. First he claims that two Obama political appointees to the DOJ ordered that the case be dismissed. And then he tells us that a mandate has been issued in the Civil Rights Division of DOJ that henceforth, the Civil Rights Division will no longer prosecute any voter intimidation case where the defendant is black, and the victim is white.

cato - the whole thing about obama/holder not pursuing a voter intimidation case against those new black panther guys - what foxnews and the dipshit legion have been raving about - is the lie. that part of the case against them was dropped before obama took office. no, it's not bush's fault, either. the DOJ folks didn't think they'd be able to win the case. so they dropped it. BEFORE OBAMA.

cerise - adams is about as credible as the shabazz guy or his brother.

"two Obama political appointees to the DOJ ordered that the case be dismissed." is obviously not true. the case was dismissed on january 9, 2009. BEFORE obama took office. january 9 is a matter of court record. it is indisputable.

Yes, but 0bammy's transition team was busy at work restoring confidence in the DOJ in November of '08. That would be BEFORE the New Black Pampers case was dismissed. :shrug:

As a transition team for the Obama administration begins work on a Justice Department overhaul, the key question is where to begin.
