Why Is White House Protecting Black Panthers?

Today, we learn that the Obama administration has asked that charges of election day voter intimidation against three members of the New Black Panthers Party for Self-Defense be dropped.  Now, we ask why?

According to a Washington Times editorial:

One of the defendants, Jerry Jackson, is an elected member of Philadelphia’s 14th Ward Democratic Committee and was a credentialed poll watcher for Barack Obama and the Democratic Party when the violations occurred. Rather conveniently, the Obama administration has asked that the cases against Mr. Jackson, two other defendants and the party be dropped.

On Nov. 4, 2008, I published a post about what I described as “tryouts” being held for the Civilian National Security Force being touted by then-presidential candidate Obama.  That post, featuring this video, highlighted the blatant voter-intimidation actions of the three men.

Take a look at the video and decide whether you think the charges should be dropped.  I think you’ll agree with me that the answer is a resounding “NO!”

Welcome to the Land of Hope and Change!

irony:  after accusing America of cowardice in addressing race issues, Eric Holder’s “Justice” Department dismissed a civil complaint of voter intimidation against the New Black Panthers.

Roy -- If you look in the post above, you'll find I already have a link to the video.  Why repost it again?

I have to wonder ...this possibly was not the only place this happened.!? The made themselves visible in other towns.  Obama will   surely be scrutinized for this...then when one looks already at his lies and  CHANGE... he can get away with it.  I wonder when the educated libs are going to wake up to what he is really about.
