FOX: LEVENTHAL (Alleged Black Panthers Voter Intimidation)
JANE SKINNER: breaking election news, we have reports of possible voter intimidation in some way — pennsylvania. republicans saying that two black panthers have been blocking the doorway of one polling locations. rick, what are the details on this? what are you hearing?
RICK LEVENTHAL: i do not even know where to begin, but we have reached a polling place in the city of philadelphia. one of the two black panthers who was allegedly blocking the door is standing right over here, with an accused us of intimidating voters because we were here with a camera and microphone. he did not answer questions, other people here have confirmed that another person in black panther attire was holding a night stick and apparently the concern was that they were intimidating people who were trying to go inside to vote. a republican poll observer actually called the police, the police were here and we miss them, they came and left. that person called the police is here. why don’t you tell us — step down off the curb, if you do not mind. what is going on here?
CITIZEN: we got a phone call that there was intimidation going on. i walked up to the door, two gentlemen in black panther guard, one brandishing a nightstick, standing in front of the door. they closed ranks as i walked up. i am a veteran, that does not scare me. i went inside and found full- watchers, they said they had been here for an hour — i went inside and found poll-watchers, they said that they had said not to let people outside because black people are going to win no matter what. at that point, i spoke to him, we would not get into a fistfight, i said, and i called the police.
LEVENTHAL: the person with the nightstick was escorted away, which i just confirmed inside. but the implication is that you were telling me that the black panthers were there to intimidate white voters from coming to this location?
CITIZEN: anyone who is not going their way, i do not know. someone in front of a polling place with a nightstick, that is intimidating for all voters.
LEVENTHAL: this is the first time i have heard of black panthers being stationed outside of a polling place. the one gentleman who is still here, he is a poll-watcher?
CITIZEN: yes, and he can wear what he wants.
LEVENTHAL: the other person was not allowed to be there with a nice that?
CITIZEN: you cannot stand with a nightstick anywhere, that is a weapon. obviously, you cannot stand around with a weapon menacingly in your hand under any circumstances.
LEVENTHAL: that is situation, as far as we know it. we have heard of other incidents in the city, including voting machines breaking down. we heard of an incident not far from here where far — all three machines broke down. people did wait, most of them. lines have dissipated. i have not made it inside yet, we had a skirmish in front of the door. apparently there is voting going on as well. at this point, apparently anyone who wants to vote here can vote here.
SKINNER: i know that they do not have enough people to man ever falling site, but as far as you understand the police have come and gone. is anyone monitoring in case someone is still hanging around?
LEVENTHAL: well there are poll watchers still standing here, we’ve been to at least a half a dozen polls around here and I haven’t seen any police officers, they don’t want a police presence to intimidate some voters, they did escort one gentleman out of here
SKINNER: It’s true in some places they don’t want police on sight, plenty going on there for you

A person can wear what he wants while standing in front of a polling center?
Hmmm…I wonder if it would be considered intimidating if a white man wore a Klan outfit and stood in front of a polling center?
This is were the “N” word came from. I have never been racist before,,this is making me racist I will never look at a Black person the same agian.
Racism should not be tolerated at ALL not towards anyone. I’m not sure where reverse racism has suddenly been tolerated but it is ridiculous! Their number is:
(215) 235-2185
James Wolf, thats the silliest thing Ive ever heard. You cant judge all black ppl based on what one or two or even many do. Thats just like what a lot of black ppl do assume all white ppl are racist. Silly!
Scary? A bit..but, did anyone complain about NOT being able to vote?
I invite these guys to try this in Alabama.
Where real men still live.
We arent intimidated by thugs
“this is making me racist I will never look at a Black person the same agian”
James, embrace what your ancestors knew. You are starting to know the truth, spread it to two other Whites. Read the history of Rhodesia, learn it well. Look at the things which comprise Civlization and ask yourself who created them. Turn off the pollution that comes across your radio and television and listen to Beethoven and Mozart. Then compare it to the so-called artistry of Little Wayne and Dr. Dre. Obama will do the rest for us. Know it, live it, share it with at least Two.
This dude is a dolt, a blinkin idiot. Standing in front of the poll with a nightstick?? To most folks that is a no brainer.
Clip one watch the little man try and use intimidation with his baton………………
clip two watch the little man try and hide the baton under his arm………………….
Now you tell me what he was doing.
To say “this is making me racist I will never look at a Black person the same again”
Please people, fellow citizens, fellow Americans. The votes have been cast democratically.
First and foremost we are Americans. We have to stand as one. We have problems in America that need our attention. And we have to face them together as Americans.
You prolific bloggers have had 20+ months to voice your opinions. Let it go. We have voted in a new leader that has promised change. Let him lead us now. There is no place for bigotry in America anymore. You are only punishing your own sanity and personal progress if you can not let go of your bigotry. Oppression is ugly. Repression is ugly. Finally we as a people are unified. We are one now, with liberty and justice for all.
Let’s move forward as a team and continue onward in that spirit of unity. We Americans know for a fact that we are the greatest country on Earth. Let’s prove it. Together as one, as a team. Have pride in who we are.
If you continue to bash each other then any progress will be impeded and any change we have fought for will diminish.
Allow people of all races in America to celebrate. We are Americans. Celebrate equality. Celebrate a new dawn. Celebrate what lies on the horizon so that together we can change for the better as a unified nation. Change will happen much more efficiently if we can all get on the same page.
To continue bashing one another impedes change that we need. The last administration impeded progress. A new and hopefully better administration lies ahead. One we can be proud of if we work together. It is imperitive for survival in a complicated world.
Let’s rally together. Celebrate as Americans together. Let’s not attack each other as citizens of the same America. Rise to the occassion. Fine, we all have the right to our own political opinions and we cast our opinions yesterday. Let’s move forward NOW as Americans and right the ship in the right direction, together as One.
none of you know what your’e talking about. there are very few white people and almost no mccain supporters at this poll. these guys are anti-obama
Alan-there was no Klan member at the polls intimidating people, there WERE black panthers there. I agree it would be intimidating if a Klan member was there, but thats not what this discussion is about. BP’s can wear what they want and be where they want, but intimidating people that are trying to vote just doesnt work. John, you are stupid, there is no way that black panthers are trying to intimidate black people into voting for McCain. Think about it, it just sounds dumb.
WOW! what is this world becoming? Im sorry, but this just shows how dumb ppl can get. I agree, “what if??” the other party would have done this?? it would be blown up… It’s good we have a black guy in office. JUST NOT THIS ONE!! let them make fools of themselves.
