Filthy Bigots and Their Attempts To Link The Panthers With The Obama Campaign
FiredUpDem did an excellent post earlier (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x8442313) on how much this story stank.

There was no evidence of voter intimidation. There are no links to the Obama campaign. It is not as though the two "panthers" are wearing Obama stickers. They were in an area that polled 95% for Kerry in 2004.

It does not stop the bigots from jumping into their sheets and having their race-baiting fun.

The Right if you are White Reverend Amy Siksind was only too keen to don her white sheet, linking this story to ACORN (of course), Bailouts, The Census, The Dept. of Justice (Obama), General Motors & Chrysler, The Obama Administration, Obama Comrades, Uppity Woman, Voter Fraud, Voting & Voting Rights and the stimulus tax package. Wow two supposed "new black panthers" could have such a wild field of influence.

In its article on this, the bigot drools, "Golly, I am just SO surprised, aren’t you? I just never expected that Obama’s Justice Department would let these three men who were engaging in extreme voter intimidation off!! Ahem. Who am I kidding? Of course I did. I’m just surprised it didn’t happen sooner…"

It is interesting to note how many more there repeat the term "golly". Of course not used in any racist context. No of course not. Of course almost all of the other PUMA sites have now come out with same mantra. One such example

http://freemenow.wordpress.com/2009/05/31/racism-pure-and-simple/


Faux News of course jumps sets about pouring petrol on their cross with this article

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/elections/2009/05/29/charges-black-panthers-dropped-obama/

The headline itself is quite telling. Of course this is the same Fox News that has previously said that the President should not get involved with Prosecutions. The Of comments on this story are unsurprisingly racist.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/elections/2009/05/29/charges-black-panthers-dropped-obama/comments/

This story owes nothing to the New Panthers. Watch how dirty racists will twist this story into yet another attack on Acorn. How the stories of "voter intimidation" and "caucus intimidation" will rear their head again. However listen carefully to the video - the Election Clerk makes clear that these "Panthers" were NOT intimidating voters.

There was no case to answer; there could have been no prosecution. The DOJ acted properly when deciding a case that had been referred to them, according to Faux themselves in the last few days of the Bush administration.

Those claiming race bias are doing it for one reason only. Dirty bigots already have one political death on their hand, their Rethug colleagues have the blood of an illegal war on theirs, how many more do they want?

3. Hence why you saw the usual suspects out.
As I have said elsewhere - expect nothing else from a blog run by an Ex CIA Agent who has posters that have threatened to assassinate the President and invented a "Whitey Tape" to try and undermine an election.

This is a continuance of their attempts to undermine ACORN. It is deliberately sparking fears and as a result I would hate to be a canvass team member for the Census. The problem is we can only expect more from them not less. This is why I really do say lives are at risk.

6. I think they have already been called out by FiredUpDem
(My new DU Hero). All but one post was very critical of President Obama, the other post was praising another Primary contender. I wonder where that person is coming from?

7. Yes, I saw her
thread clarifying what the "suit dropping" was about..

I'm just amazed that that kind of "michelle malkin" thing is allowed on Democraticunderground.

8. If you run a campaign
threatening the other candidate with a gun, attempting to destroy ACORN for selfish factional politics and using "hard working white Americans" as a slogan, you attract extremists. This is a continuation of the absolute worst aspects of the Presidential election by people who I am glad are largely no longer part of the Democratic Party.

We now face the same in the UK, where Gordon Brown appealed to "hard working British families" and wanting "British jobs for British workers". The British NAZI Party have adopted that as their campaign slogan.

Despite that I can not imagine the head of "Call Me Dave" Cameron being stuck on the end of the sights a sniper gun.

The need to slap down racism remains. Electing a black President does not end racism. Anymore than electing Margaret Thatcher ended sexism in the UK.

There are very real dangers associated with this type of campaign and those running it know exactly what they are doing.

13. That OP was another stain upon DU
some of the things we are seeing here lately are disgraceful. And of course the usual "long time DUers" are allowed to chime in with thinly veiled racism disguised as dissent.

14. Amy Siskand is a complete asshole and why her PUMA New Agenda blog is allowed here is beyond me.
Edited on Sun May-31-09 07:48 PM by SemiCharmedQuark
The PUMA phenomenon was largely a figment the imagination, *except* in Siskand's world.

15. The New Agenda is PUMA Lite.
The same great crazies but only half the display of hate.
