Charges Against 'New Black Panthers' Dropped by Obama Justice Dept.
Charges brought against three members of the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense under the Bush administration have been dropped by the Obama Justice Department, FOX News has learned.
The charges stemmed from an incident at a Philadelphia polling place on Election Day 2008 when three members of the party were accused of trying to threaten voters and block poll and campaign workers by the threat of force -- one even brandishing what prosecutors call a deadly weapon.
Yeah. Replace "Black Panther Party" with Ku Klux Klan and Bush administration after "charges dropped by" and see how loudly the howling gets... I don't care which side of the ideological fence you happen to sit on; when you have people in quasi-military uniforms brandishing weapons outside of a polling place, that's something that has absolutely no place in the United States of America.
That the 0bama administration is declining to prosecute speaks volumes about their views on "justice". That the media is allowing this to slip under the rug is nothing short of unconscionable, especially in light of how they would treat the story were the political affiliations reversed. The silence on the left is predictable; sadly, so is the silence on the right. We're so afraid of being labeled as "racists" that we're afraid to address simple, basic, clear-cut violations of our laws because of the pigment of the perpetrators.
That's how banana republics and third-world dictatorships operate - not America.
That is all.

At least we didn't hear any off-the-cuff jokes from Trent Lott. Remember, we need to keep our outrage over racially tinged topics in perspective.
[sigh] Sometimes, not all that much but I admit that it does happen, I grow weary of being held to a higher standard than my ideological opponents deem to place upon themselves (which speaks volumes, doesn't it?)
"That's how banana republics and third-world dictatorships operate - not America."
That's true, but the America we grew up in is dead.
