Black Panther intimidation at the polls?; NBPP: “We will be at the polls in the cities and counties in many states to ensure that the enemy does not sabotage the black vote, which was won through the blood of the martyrs of our people”
Reader Steve e-mails: “Just after 12:00 noon, Fox News reported that two black panthers were at one location in Philadelphia “guarding” the doorway to a polling station. One carried a nightstick and confronted a citizen who had gone in to the polling place. That citizen called police (he was interviewed by the Philly correspondent for Fox). The citizen reported that police removed the black panther with the night stick, but the other, who lives in the area, remains near the door.”
The New Black Panther Party said yesterday it would send its members out to the polls to ensure its interests on Election Day:
Minister Najee Muhammad, national field marshal for the New Black Panther Party, and Uhuru Shakur, local chairman of the Atlanta chapter of the party, took turns reading statements from Dr. Malik Shabazz, leader of Black Lawyers for Justice and attorney for the party (yes, that Malik Shabazz)…
…”We will not allow some racists and other angry whites, who are upset over an impending Barack Obama presidential victory, to intimidate blacks at the polls,” Muhammad said. “Most certainly, we cannot allow these racist forces to slaughter our babies or commit other acts of violence against the black population, nor our black president.”
Muhammad added, “We must organize to counter and neutralize these threats using all means at our disposal. This is a great time for our people, and we must ensure that peace prevails for our people.”
Shakur said the New Black Panther Party does not hate white people, but it does not like racist white people who try to harm the black community…
…Shakur added, “We warn you, leave Barack Obama alone and leave our babies alone because black people are a spiritual people and a people who are trying to do right, and we will not hesitate to take up our legal rights of self-defense.”
Shakur said the New Black Panther Party believes the plot that was foiled in Crockett County was not an isolated incident and that the party will do what it can to protect members of the black community on Election Day.
“We will be at the polls in the cities and counties in many states to ensure that the enemy does not sabotage the black vote, which was won through the blood of the martyrs of our people,” he said.
As members of the New Black Panther Party said “Black Power,” Andrew Chirwa, an Alamo resident and native of Malawi in Southern Africa, urged everyone at the press conference to shout “Black Power” together.

Transcript from the FNC report:
FOX: LEVENTHAL (Alleged Black Panthers Voter Intimidation)
JANE SKINNER: breaking election news, we have reports of possible voter intimidation in some way — pennsylvania. republicans saying that two black panthers have been blocking the doorway of one polling locations. rick, what are the details on this? what are you hearing?
RICK LEVENTHAL: i do not even know where to begin, but we have reached a polling place in the city of philadelphia. one of the two black panthers who was allegedly blocking the door is standing right over here, with an accused us of intimidating voters because we were here with a camera and microphone. he did not answer questions, other people here have confirmed that another person in black panther attire was holding a night stick and apparently the concern was that they were intimidating people who were trying to go inside to vote. a republican poll observer actually called the police, the police were here and we miss them, they came and left. that person called the police is here. why don’t you tell us — step down off the curb, if you do not mind. what is going on here?
CITIZEN: we got a phone call that there was intimidation going on. i walked up to the door, two gentlemen in black panther guard, one brandishing a nightstick, standing in front of the door. they closed ranks as i walked up. i am a veteran, that does not scare me. i went inside and found full- watchers, they said they had been here for an hour — i went inside and found poll-watchers, they said that they had said not to let people outside because black people are going to win no matter what. at that point, i spoke to him, we would not get into a fistfight, i said, and i called the police.
LEVENTHAL: the person with the nightstick was escorted away, which i just confirmed inside. but the implication is that you were telling me that the black panthers were there to intimidate white voters from coming to this location?
CITIZEN: anyone who is not going their way, i do not know. someone in front of a polling place with a nightstick, that is intimidating for all voters.
LEVENTHAL: this is the first time i have heard of black panthers being stationed outside of a polling place. the one gentleman who is still here, he is a poll-watcher?
CITIZEN: yes, and he can wear what he wants.
LEVENTHAL: the other person was not allowed to be there with a nice that?
CITIZEN: you cannot stand with a nightstick anywhere, that is a weapon. obviously, you cannot stand around with a weapon menacingly in your hand under any circumstances.
LEVENTHAL: that is situation, as far as we know it. we have heard of other incidents in the city, including voting machines breaking down. we heard of an incident not far from here where far — all three machines broke down. people did wait, most of them. lines have dissipated. i have not made it inside yet, we had a skirmish in front of the door. apparently there is voting going on as well. at this point, apparently anyone who wants to vote here can vote here.
SKINNER: i know that they do not have enough people to man ever falling site, but as far as you understand the police have come and gone. is anyone monitoring in case someone is still hanging around?
LEVENTHAL: well there are poll watchers still standing here, we’ve been to at least a half a dozen polls around here and I haven’t seen any police officers, they don’t want a police presence to intimidate some voters, they did escort one gentleman out of here
SKINNER: It’s true in some places they don’t want police on sight, plenty going on there for you

Will the police in Philly take care of this obvious tool of intimidation?
Here we go. The first skirmish of Civil War II.
and so it continues…
My gosh, boy talking about threatening voters! The police or feds need to get at these polls asap. I will not submit.
L
This country need a powerful purge…
PA has concealed carry.
Makes me wonder what the Black Panthers are “so” afraid of… must be those little old white ladies wanting to vote…. ooooo so scared.
The fact the “black population” doesn’t speak out against these thugs is a disgrace. If nothing else this election made clear where we are today with race. While white people pretend it’s not an issue black people continue to carve out special righs for themselves. They are not interested in equality. It’s a push for superiority.
Let me put this together in my mind…. little old white ladies and concealed carry… vs. the Black Panthers. My money’s on the little old ladies. Experience, kids, experience! Ha!
Folks laughed at me a while back when I posted my thoughts regarding a real battle being waged in American between the forces of good and the forces of evil……..it’s happening right now, I hope you folks are not too naive to recognize it…..
Obama wants to give tuition credit for “service”. Presumably these “gentlemen” are simply working their way through Wharton.
HEL-LOOOO! We’re the ones trying to SAVE their babies!! b. Hussein is the one trying to leave them to die on shelves and make sure they kill more!
Our own MJ wants more and more and more abortions. Don’t they realize the percentage of abortions that black women get? If we really wanted their babies dead, wouldn’t we simply support abortion as a vehicle to accomplish that?
OY…
Oh, and by the way, I actually live in Philadelphia, I do have a permit to carry, and I will be carrying when I go to vote later on today….God help someone if they try to intimidate me..
perhaps the first shot of the second civil war…
“Black Power” my white @$$. They’re there to intimidate the white voters into voting for Obama. Any vote for McCain would be an attack on Obama.
And as for killing black babies? The only one who’s running that’s for killing black babies is….OBAMA! McCain’s pro-life. Palin’s over-the-top pro-life. Obama? Doesn’t want his [black] daughters saddled with the consequences of a baby.
“Our black president”… I thought the president was for all of America. Not this guy though. Go McCain.
The democratic process just isn’t enough for some people. By any means necessary, I guess. I’ll rejoice the day that the black community will renounce and reject the corruption and welfare mentality amongst their own, and join the ranks of true Americans.
Some of PA’s clingers need to get down there with their guns. If the police want to thwart violence, then they can start enforcing the laws – evenly.
Wha?! Why would a police presence intimidate voters? Is it possible disenfranchisement of the ‘felon bloc’? or the ‘wanted bloc’?
That’s why the M-4 was created.
The victim mentality truly holds back the black community. The quicker they move forward is the key to true independence.
Unfortunately, so many of the black “leaders” can’t have any of this… they’ll lose clout and power. And let’s be honest, that’s what they are all about anyway.
The BP’s and the Soros lackey Obinkee are woefully confused about what racism is, how it works, and how they are being used in the name of their own so-called “movement.”
VIDEO HERE of the Black Panthers from Fox News: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCeD1RcJjAg
Keep your eye on the news…I’ll be out to vote later on this afternoon, in Philadelphia, bitter and clinging to my concealed weapon…just in case….
McCain won’t touch Reverend Wright, losers praise Obama’s grandmother who raised him…
Americans have embraced diversity and cultural importance and leaving welfare in place and borders open while claiming that sonny Jesus loves everybody the same… Americans are getting what they deserve.
Unfortunately, I and mine are stuck in the storm with the rest of the fools.
Hold onto your Bible too, Angel, that will complete the perfect American trifecta… voting, guns and Bibles.. gotta have some fun.
Is it alright if a white man stands there to protect “The White Vote”, and to protect “White Power”?
Of course not, that would be “RAAAAAAACIST!”
Is this moron for real? Does he even know that Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger wrote a book called Birth Control and the Negro where she said, “[they are] destined to become a burden to themselves, the their family, and ultimately to the nation.” Planned Parenthood’s answer? Why, “choice”, of course!
Barak Obama is the one that is slaughtering the babies!
God help this country!
This is the precursor to Obama’s Civilian Security Force that will be established after he is elected. Get ready to cowtow to Americas version of the thought police.
Wow….
Am I the only one who sees that style of wording as not all that dissimilar to that of spokesmen of the “religion of peace”?
Somebody please explain to me why I might be misinterpreting/misreading/misunderstanding it.
Might it be that it was taken “out of context”?
What morons! White voters in Philly are more likely to be voting for Obama. It’s the rest of the state which will vote for McCain. They are too stupid to even know who to intimidate. Their presence might cause voters to switch from Obama to McCain.
Silent, undercover observations, with an accessible cellphone for 911 and the media would be much more affective. That’s how you fight voter suppression and intimidation.
Malik Shabazz is an embarrassment, and I wish he’d disappear. Idiot.
Ohhhhh, that’s right, I’ll take my Bible along as well…..!!
Preview of the next four (or more) years if Osama Obama wins….
Answer to the first question about the 2010 elections asked of President-for-Life B. Hussein Obama: “What elections?”
Yep, ditto.
I don’t think the NBP, or the Jesse Jacksons of the world want Obama to win. But, I guess that’s a discussion for another day.
These fools are probably going to run Obama’s “civilian” army.
TooMuchTime,
The Black Panthers never learned the admonishment from John Wayne.
“Life is tough. It’s tougher when you’re stupid.”
Amazing to see how other minorities have just passed by blacks and kept going. The Dems have used groups like the Panthers. Both are doing a great job destroying a large segment of the American population. But Dems get power and money for it so they don’t care. The Panthers get crumbs and think they are kings of the world. Useful idiots.
I mentioned months ago in the primaries when Odumbo accused Clinton of racism, here it comes loud and clear. Odumbo has brought back racism to heights we haven’t seen in 50 years…it’s going to get ugly folks. Remember these black radicals are only slaves to their hatred and bigotry.
Be prepared!
Country First! U.S.A.

Glad to see you say that MJ. At least one of you guys is willing to concede something and not defend evil just because it’s on your “team”.
Judge says no law broken when man carried firearm into polling place
CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. – Franklin County Judge John R. Walker followed the law Tuesday in returning a concealed weapons permit to Gregory Rotz, but the judge said he would prefer the state ban firearms from polling places.

Mistress is right… being a little bit more subtle will work. In an earlier part of my life, I was an election official.
Nothing wrong with alerting the appropriate people about shenanigans at the polls… particularly the press… just make sure who you get this info to. Some might just blow you off, Foxnews wants to know if anyone sees anything like this. Give them a “heads-up”.
The trolls keep trying to make fun of people who think they need to arm themselves to protect freedom?
community organizers at work.
There has been a question about why the blacks do not rise against the radical Black Panther group. The answer if the present Black Panthers are like the original Oakland California ones is FEAR.
I guess this is what Obama meant about the “Civilian” force.
Nice.
I’m listening to the ABC Radio News on the hour. Eagerly awaiting news about this outrage…OK, here we go. Sarah Palin in Alaska voting. B-HO voting in Chicago, after Bill Ayers…Factory orders drop in September…Dow up 250…Chile puts up billion bucks of aid to middle income families…
Commercial. Nada about the Panther punks.
If you think these thugs are angry now, just wait until McCain/Palin pull off the upset. Ocommie will win the popular vote due to states like CA & NY, but lose the Electoral vote. The thug thizzle will sizzle.
YEEEHA
McCain/Palin ‘08
Don’t be surprised if Barack replaces the Secret Service with the bow-tied thugs who “protect” the Nation of Islam’s Louis Farrakhan.
How is this kind of behavior even allowed to happen. No one should be allowed to just stand outside a voting station. This is clearly a effort to intimidate people who may vote for John McCain.
If this was happening at my voting station I would be raising three kinds of hell until the black panthers were either removed or I was in jail.
CMH
No troll on this thread is going to disuade me from carrying my weapon to the polling place….I am not in the suburbs mind you but will actually be voting IN the city of Philadelphia, which has come increasingly close to achieving third-world status…it’s like the Wild West out here….
It appears to be alright to form your own vigilante group so I guess the rest of us had better get organized. Apparently, the the police couldn’t care less about who is being intimidated.
I praised her yesterday. I am not a loser. Care to take it from there?
No intimidation at my polling place (I would have raised hell if those jerks were there).
This is my first presidential election, and I am now officially a racist. <3
Thank God I don’t live near a major city anymore…
Is he talking about Obama? He’s black?
And what is the entire continent of Africa doing behind the panther in their logo? That’s a lot of individual countries. Several of which have issues of slavery & civil war at this very moment; killing babies, indeed.
MistressJustice, I’ve said before that we’re being a good influence on you.
Glad to see you coming around.
That was won through the blood of the martyrs of MY people. My family were abolitionists before the revolutionary war and I’d have a much larger family now if it weren’t for the fact that most of the men-folk of my family died in the civil war which gave this moron the freedom to make wild-a$$ claims like this.
If Minister Najee Muhammad had a clue he’d realize that the enemy he’s so terrified of, is the candidate he’s cannonizing.
Regardless – it’s insane that Minister Najee Muhammad would work so hard to give the Democratic party priority in the vote – the exact same party which gave us slavery, lynchings, segragation, and the KKK. And to defend the candidate of muslim African descent – a direct descendant of the people that sold Minister Najee Muhammad’s ancestors into slavery.
NOW you know why the lunatic left demands that history is revised and glossed over, so completely moronic situations like this never come to light.
As they say, when seconds count the police are only minutes away.
I’m not seeing these so called white supremacists intimidating minorities. While deer hunting near my hometown recently (the whitest town I’ve ever known and one with a racist history), I noticed more Obama signs than McCain signs. I even saw a vandalized McCain sign that had a red spray painted “O” on it. Maybe it’s the area’s long time support of unions or the promise of free money, but I saw my share of trailers on dirt roads with Obama signs in front.
I don’t praise her. She raised the hippy daugher who screwed around, got pregnant underage and received food stamps and welfare… I don’t respect anything about that family. Good riddance.
ODERINT DUM METUANT !

WRONG!
She took in the grandson who was dumped by his parents, worked and paid taxes, and sacrificed to send him to an expensive school. Almost sounds Republican. Her daughter and grandson have free will and make their own choices.
She dies and you say “Good riddance”?

Typical black racist philosophy.

Please forgive any error(s) – the last Latin I had was 34 years ago, and I don’t have time to check it on the internet!
We are products of our environments… she raised both of the losers.
I won’t miss her…
I guess the Black Panthers don’t realize the only “right to vote” granted by the US Constitution is for US Representative and US Senator. The Constitution does not provide for a popular vote for President.
whose spirituality is expressed through thuggery and intimidation if you and your bullying flunkies are given the chance.
I wish more people understood that.
SoCal,
You sound like a cold hearted, mean spirited lefty. You should move to a less hostile environment. You product you.
Dear Lord, please don’t let this be a “taste of things to come” if Obama loses tonight.
Amen.
P.S. to Black Panthers: You want Obama for President? VOTE FOR HIM and let the rest of us exercise our right FREE OF INTIMIDATION. Thank you.
Hey granite….
Ex meis frigidis et mortuis manibus !
Hey, I work hard, take care of my familiy, don’t depend on others, and am raising my children to not be communists… I would like for all people raising Marxists like that old lady to just disappear… You and McCain can love “god’s children”.. not me.
People don’t understand it because we’re dealing with a vast left-wing conspiracy of ignorance that is aided, abetted, sustained and reinforced by our public education system.
Which is a topic for another day.
When Obama’s promises fall short for the Afro-Americans, you will find that Obama isn’t black enough and only is a half breed.
The Great Uniter in action.
There aren’t two Americas…no. Not here.
no, it’ll be whitey’s fault!!! republicans, christians, and especialy JOOOOS!!!!
Killing black babies and denying your right to self-defense is Obama’s department.
OTOH, sacrificing for your freedom was done in large part by my lily-white ancestors.
As Forrest Gump would say: Sorry I had a fight in the middle of your black panther party.
This morning as I was about to leave for work, I opened the blinds to check the weather outside and there was a car sitting in the street with 3 African-American gentlemen in it. They were STARING at the “McCain-Palin” sign in my yard. I kid you not. I live just down the street from a polling place. I also had a “NOBAMA” sticker on the back of my truck (visible from the street).
Wasn’t particularly concerned this morning. But after reading this story (and others, about police gearing up for 11/5) I’m wondering if I should be.
Thank you, Mr. Heston!
