Voter intimidation: White on black, go to prison. Black on white, meh.

Remember the story we commented on last Election Day, about the three Philadelphia Black Panther thugs who were intimidating and scaring white people away from a local polling place by using a nightstick, curses and threats?





Well, we're sure you'll be happy to know that Obama's and Attorney General Eric Holder's political appointees at the Justice Department have seen fit to overrule career prosecutors at that agency, and have dropped all sanctions against the men, despite video evidence of their misconduct and despite the fact that one eyewitness to the incident named Bartle Bull, a veteran of the 1960's civil rights movement,

"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."

Incredibly, an affidavit by Bull (a liberal Democrat, by the way) describing in detail the blatant intimidation by the goons didn't even make it into the pile of evidence supporting the government's complaint, according to the story.

Violating the Voting Rights Act, hurling racial slurs and threatening people with violence are all A-OK behaviors with this new administration as long as the perpetrators are black, we guess, especially since it seemed to be a foregone conclusion at the time that we "crackers" were "about to be ruled by the black man", as Bull recalls one of the goons braying in triumph.

Welcome to the new "Justice" Department, soon to be presided over by such reverse racists as Sonia Sotomayor.

Maybe we just don't understand why the men were let off because we're not a Latina woman and therefore lack a certain "richness of life experience", eh, Judge Sotomayor?
