It also showed people walking around freely.
It's stupid and they should be removed, it could be seen as intimidation ....but, I have not heard that this is widespread.
edit - here's the video .... same polling station ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neGbKHyGuHU
2 lugnuts ... no doubt ... night stick? really?

black panthers or blackwater?
whatever.
no, it's not fairplay, it's stupid. no matter which way it's pointed.

of course two idiots at one precinct will be turned into some widespread issue on the right.
I'm more worried about lines that are hours long discouraging people from voting.
was like a picture

again, whatever
both of these videos are a FUCKING joke btw..
there's absolutely no evidence of any kind of trouble
the fox video is working overtime to try and make a problem and the young republican poster child they interview clearly does not have an agenda. (wink)
in the other video, the guy behind the camera is clearly trying to stir some shit up. The BP ain't havin it.
are we trying to pretend this isn't blatant propoganda?
you guys are getting desperate.
i kindof find it funny that yoru sig. is for Obama who is all abotu change but yet you don't have a problem with this. change indeed!

Bottom line: If you can't admit it's ridiculously wrong for these people to do this... you have serious issues. And I love the whole "well, it's Fox News" so it's not true crap. They have video and people claiming it's true with the Black Panther in the background. I totally believe this is true in Philly.
Anyway, no one ever said this will alter the entire election. It may have swayed a few votes... that's all. But, nonetheless, it's completely and totally 100% wrong and if it's even partially accurate;.. these guys should be seriously punished.
What those guys are doing is fucking wrong but the news segment, and your friend's e-mail, make it seem like it is wide spread, when in reality it is a localized incident.
exactly.
and there's only one peson in this thread that doesn't have an issue with it ... yet saveuplife puts "some of you guys" ...
mmmm, slant.

Good point. I apologize.... two posts by the same "guy".
WATCH This...

As I said, a handful of fucking idiots trying to intimidate voters. They should be told to leave the premise or at least taken into custody if they are threatening voters, but it's not some widespread black death squad roaming the streets of Philly cracking whitey's skull.
So standing there outside a polling station in their black fatigues with a Billy Club is okay in your book? This is not propaganda by any stretch. It’s one incident at a polling station in Philly, that’s all it is.

that's the same video I posted ... it's the same polling place as the initial report ... again, far from widespread incidents.

do you see any evidence of voter intimidation? I sure don't.
unless you count the dipshit young republicans scared shitless and standing where they should be.
across the street. I call that justice.
According to their national field marshall of the NBPP it's pre-planned. They asked their members to go out to the polls to ensure their interests on election day.
I'm not saying that there's much more evidence of this,... yet, however.
And by the way, they should be in custody not simply asked to leave. It's on thing to stand there unarmed, it's another to have a nightstick in your hand.
:rolleyes:
Of course this is wrong. But, it's no more wrong when black Obama supporters do it than it is when white Republicans do it. Try and keep it in perspective. Helping to spread hysteria doesn't make you look smart.
Are you serious?
There was an interview with the head of the Black Panther party in Philly and he didn't have the nicest things to say about Obama:
http://www.philly.com/dailynews/local/20081029_New_Panthers__war_on_whites.html
On Barack Obama and voting: "He's a puppet on a string. I don't support no black man running for white politics. I will not vote for who will be the next slavemaster." Besides, he added, Obama is "a Negro who doesn't even support reparations for black people in America."
In more important news he also does not support the Phillies
On the Phillies: "They can kiss my ass. The Phillies are not doing nothing for our 'hoods."

That's real nice.
Whichever side chooses to pull shit like this is wrong. It incites hate, division and unnecessary drama. Though, saveuplife, me thinks u love pulling the drama card. You are always one to stir things up, that is for sure. : )
No wonder there is so much animosity and division coming forth in this country. It is created on a grander scale trickling down ... which reminds me of an individual who has become the best puppet for creating this type of behavior ... an individual who soon will be exiting the White House.
Note ... this is probably a small incident though portrayed to be big. Sensationalism.
Man if was there in line I would tell them they're going to have to go and if they didn't I'd call the police. That is straight up bullshit and makes no sense whatsoever.

For those of you not from Philly, you have no clue what you are talking about if you think all of this isn't possible.
your right, i don't see how a person with a club standing in front of a polling office can intimidate any voters. just like a white person with a hood is voter intimidation. "rolleyes"

Do I see evidence? Nothing other than someone standing outside a polling place with a weapon. Did I hear him say anything? No I did not. But the weapon alone is enough intimidation. Maybe some people would be a little intimidated to walk around them. You never know what peoples intentions are.
So why are they dipshits? Is it because they are republicans or because they are young republicans? Also, what is this justice you speak of?

Of course it's possible, with the exception of one idiot on this board everyone pretty much agrees. Shit like this happens in all parts of the nation and it's not right. Those idiots standing there with their rent-a-cop outfits and their night sticks are just as fucked up as some white guy with a white hood on his head and neither should be tolerated. Unfortunately there are assholes like this in our country but instead of glorifying their cause by spreading mass hysteria, I'm not saying that you are doing that, we should largely ignore them for the uneducated bottom dwellers that they are. We should do everything in our power to make sure that their stupid actions have no impact on how society functions.
This is the headline on Fox News now.
My favorite part is when the guy runs up and tries to start shit by saying "We have a problem here?" the other white guy just standing at the curb there says "It's fine."
So I guess this is the agenda of the day, huh?
Are you saying do nothing and that will solve this type of stuff?
If so, I don't agree. If you are saying don't make it public,... I also disagree. My point,... I wouldn't be surprised if that standoff became a bit more intense had the caucasion guy not had a video camera. You and I have no clue that this isn't occurring elsewhere and just not filmed.... so it gets no press. The media can help stop crap like this IMO.
