DEVASTATING - AT 7:55 A.M. ET:  Last week, Barack Obama's justice department (Eric Holder, proprietor) dropped a case against the Black Panthers, some of whose members engaged in blatant voter discrimination during the November election. 

Now, Bartle Bull comments on this disgrace.  Who is Bartle Bull?  He is a man with impeccable civil rights credentials - a civil-rights lawyer in Mississippi in 1966, New York campaign manager for Robert Kennedy in 1968.  His words count:

On May 15 Obama’s Department of Justice quashed a civil rights case involving voter intimidation by blacks in Philadelphia on election day, 2008...

...As New York chairman of Democrats for McCain, I had gone to Philadelphia on election day to work as a volunteer at polling places...

...never until I went to Philadelphia on November 4 had I seen a man with a weapon blocking the entrance to a polling place...

...Two men dressed in black combat boots, black berets and black uniforms blocked the door to the polling place at 1221 Fairmount Street. One was brandishing a large billy-club, intimidating anyone who approached. The two were members of the New Black Panther Party (NBPP). Our campaign called the police and the press. The press filmed the incident...

...In early May the Federal court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania entered a default judgment versus King Shabazz enjoining him from again appearing at a polling place with a weapon. But on May 15, with victory certain because the other defendants (including the national NBPP) had not answered the proceeding, the new leadership at the Department of Justice dropped the case by filing a Notice of Voluntary Dismissal...

...The Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League describe the NBPP as a hate group, and the original Black Panthers have denounced it, but the new administration is protecting it.

Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy did not die to have thugs dressed like storm troopers and carrying weapons block the doors of polling places, nor to have the Attorney General of the United States protect the thugs instead of the voters.

COMMENT:  You will notice the lack of interest by the mainstream media in reporting this story and probing Mr. Obama's justice department.  The press is too busy telling us the life story of Judge Sonia Sotomayor, and relating that diners were thrilled this past weekend when Barack and Michelle showed up on their romantic date in New York - a date that cost taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars.

It is Bartle Bull's conclusion that really gets to us.  Please read it:

What will our next elections be like? ACORN, the principal instrument of voter fraud in 2008, has now been lavishly funded by the “Stimulus Package”. Intimidation at the polls is designed in part to prevent poll watchers from challenging the fraudulent voters registered by Acorn. The new census is to be overseen by the political office in the White House. Hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants have been registered under the “Motor-Voter” Bill, which mandates voter registration at Motor Vehicle Bureaus. The New Black Panthers will be at the door.

Change we can believe in.
