Karl Rove on Black Panther Case: White House 'Thumbing Its Nose' at Voter Rights
FOXNews.com ^ | 7/9/10 | FoxNews

The White House is "thumbing its nose" at one of the most fundamental American rights by not investigating allegations that the Justice Department wrongly abandoned a 2008 voter intimidation case, former Bush adviser Karl Rove charged on Friday.

In an interview with Fox News' Megyn Kelly on 'America Live,' Rove accused White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs of "not telling the truth" when he said Thursday that he was not looking into allegations that the DOJ wrongly dismissed a case against the New Black Panther Party. He also accused the administration of "thumbing its nose at one of the most essential rights Americans have."

"Of course they're aware of this," Rove said. "I can't imagine that when the attorney general makes such a controversial decision, that they would have not discussed this with the White House.

Gibbs, however, appeared to dismiss the New Black Panther case on Thursday, telling a reporter who questioned him on the matter that "I haven't paid any attention to it."

The case stemmed from an incident on Election Day in 2008 in Philadelphia, where members of the party were videotaped in front of a polling place dressed in military-style uniforms and allegedly hurling racial slurs while one brandished a night stick

The country is beginning to thumb its nose at Washington. If Obama lets this Black Panther Party get off......he needs to leave office.

Come on Karl, you know the truth,

this is about “racial payback”,

but you don’t want to say that, yet, until more people come to that understanding.

The Emporer has no clothes. It’ll just take one honest person to stand up and point out that fact.

Ahhhh. The headline needs a qualifier. The White House is thumbing it's nose at WHITE voter's rights...... I had a cousin(30 something) who worked for Zero in 2008. In August before the election, I received an e-mail that said ‘When Obama is President, white people are going down.’ My cousin is white and grew up in privilege. He accused me of being a racist because I didn't support Obama. Looks like his prediction from that August was right.

Once we lose fair and honest elections ... we will have lost our country and IMO the time for talk will be over

The next day after the election,
there were reports of blacks in high schools openly taunting and threatening white kids,

until someone whispered to them “pssst... NOT YET! Don’t let the cat of the bag yet!”

There are a lot of folks preparing behind the scenes for that possibility, and praying that they won’t have to put their “preps” into action.

But if the ballot box of liberty is taken away from us through fraud or theft,

they have their final box already sitting there in reserve.

Sadly, that time is close. ACORN manipulated the 2008 election but I figured Obama was going to win anyway even without their help. To quote Hugh Hewitt ‘If it's not close, they can't cheat’. Every close race tipped to the Dem in 2008 because of the Secretaries of State Project by Soros and MoveOn. We MUST win by more votes than they can cheat by. (that sentence does make sense in my mind!)

Tyrants don’t have to be concerned with voter’s rights.

It’s more of a double flip off.

"We MUST win by more votes than they can cheat by."

That should be the byline for the entire Conservative "get out the vote" campaign this year, and in 2012.

To let Gibbs get away with ..."I haven't paid any attention to it." as an acceptable response is just maddening. This is 0bama saying he hasn't paid attention to it. It is 0bama's DOI (Holder, one of the JustUs Brothers) that did this and quite clearly with 0bama's full and complete support. Damn the MSM.

Tyrants don’t have to be concerned with voter’s rights.

I wonder if Obummer is trying to generate another crisis. I am thinking he will soon grant citizenship to all the illegal immigrants by executive decree. With full voting rights of course. This will prompt lots of legal challenges that will not get resolved before this year's election.

Then he creates an army of volunteers to assist in the election process. So many new voters will require lots of helpers, you see. This volunteer army of helpers will be comprised of the new citizens and leftover Acorn types. Anybody who tries to stop the volunteers gets thrown in jail.

The volunteer helpers control who gets to vote and what votes get counted. Dems gain more seats in Congress - game, set, and match.

Obama set the precedent for getting involved at the street level with his beer summit.

The fact that the Sock Puppet in Chief directs his Heel Patch Puppet, Gibbs, to say they have paid no attention to this is clearly an Obama finger message.

Rev up the philosophical motorcycles and throw these racist demogogues out.

Gibbles the Clown saying “I haven’t paid any attention to it” is his way of “mind your own business and don’t question us, peasant”. Codespeak. The Left accuses us of using racist codewords in everything we say, so let’s turn the tables. Everything this Regime says is codewords, to be “translated” to what it really means in terms of Marxism-Leninism.
