"You are about to be ruled by the black man, cracker."



This is a video filmed in Philadelphia last November on election day of three members of the New Black Panther Party who stood outside a polling place and intimidated white voters and poll watchers. One of the racists carried a nightstick. Now we learn that 0bama's political appointees have overruled career lawyers in the justice department and ended the civil lawsuit against these racist thugs:



Justice Department political appointees overruled career lawyers and ended a civil complaint accusing three members of the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense of wielding a nightstick and intimidating voters at a Philadelphia polling place last Election Day, according to documents and interviews.
The incident - which gained national attention when it was captured on videotape and distributed on YouTube - had prompted the government to sue the men, saying they violated the 1965 Voting Rights Act by scaring would-be voters with the weapon, racial slurs and military-style uniforms.
Career lawyers pursued the case for months, including obtaining an affidavit from a prominent 1960s civil rights activist who witnessed the confrontation and described it as "the most blatant form of voter intimidation" that he had seen, even during the voting rights crisis in Mississippi a half-century ago.


Here is what Bartle Bull, a civil rights activist who witnessed the intimidation, had to say:



Mr. Bull said the "clear purpose" of what the Panthers were doing was to "intimidate voters with whom they did not agree." He also said he overheard one of the men tell a white poll watcher: "You are about to be ruled by the black man, cracker."

But of course, the racist 0bama administration approves wholeheartedly of what these thugs did.
