Voter intimidation by Black Panthers in Philadelphia

Fox News is reporting on some alleged voter intimidation going on in Philly by some guys dressed in Black Panther garb and identifying themselves as “security.” (h/t: Michelle Malkin)

Uhuru Shakur, chairman of the New Black Panther Party’s Atlanta chapter, had a few choice words for those who disagree with Barack Obama.

“Every president America has had has been a white man. Now the black man must be given his time to rule.“
[...]
“We warn you, leave Barack Obama alone and leave our babies alone because black people are a spiritual people and a people who are trying to do right, and we will not hesitate to take up our legal rights of self-defense.”
[...]
“We will be at the polls in the cities and counties in many states to ensure that the enemy does not sabotage the black vote, which was won through the blood of the martyrs of our people.”

Whether or not these guys are actual Black Panthers remains to be seen. Hopefully the media will investigate, as will the police who had to escort one man away; then we’ll find out whether this is for real or not. But I’ve been surprised in the meantime by how many Obama supporters on Twitter immediately dismissed the story as being concocted by Karl Rove and the “Panthers” in question as being Young Republican “tricksters” in disguise.

Check out this second video and judge for yourself. Do these gents look like Young Republicans to you?


Mary Katharine Ham responds:

Whew, good thing we’ve got these guys around to prevent intimidation. And, what better tools for preventing intimidation than all-black paramilitary uniforms and billy clubs? Thank you, New Black Panther Party!…Intimidation, of course, takes many forms. And, in their ever magnificent projection performance, Democrats will whine that it’s Republicans doing all the intimidating by, err, having people stand in line to vote, or something.
