Liberal umbrage-monger David Corn– of the Mitt Romney 47% and the Rand Paul hates Dick Cheney video fame– says the difficulty with making African-Americans angry enough to vote against Republican “intimidation” tactics is that they don’t realize they’re being intimidated…
Chris Matthews: What about the attempt to intimidate them out of voting?
Corn: Well, that’s true. It’s happening…and when you do that– when people wanna vote or they’re thinking about voting in an election– they do get ticked off and it motivates them.
But…they are so disaffected or so distant from this election that they may not even know that they’re not being allowed to vote.

“..they may not even know that they’re not being allowed to vote.”
I do believe I would know almost immediately, and have quite an urgent reaction if I was not being allowed to vote.
Q: Do you have an I.D?
A: Yes
Q: Are you registered to vote?
A: Yes
Q: Have you already voted in this election?
A: No
Here’s your ballot, you may now vote.
I fail to see what the difficulty here is.
Mr. Corn is scum. Total slime that needs to be flushed permanently. Its about time someone did some investigating into this solid gold kook
What I’d like to see is a 20,000-resident poll taken...just asking these people if they have an ID. With the exception of homeless people, who might be mentally-unfit to start with, or people hiding themselves in America with fake identities....I doubt if you can find more than five people out of 20,000 without an ID. These will be elderly folks in some old folks home who no longer require such.
As for the 99.9 percent of us with ID’s? You can’t function in 2014, without some form of ID. Go try to get a narcotics prescription from the doctor, or try to get married, or try to get a new bank account. It’s just not possible. I dealt recently with one credit union and they asked for two ID’s before they’d let me proceed with the paperwork. Go try to register a car without an ID.
If you’ve been injured in a car accident... or even if you don’t know you’ve been injured call now!
White Democrats/Leftists have a racist paternalistic attitutde towards blacks.
In other words David Corn is saying he believes he is smarter than black people. After seeing his reporting for some years now I’m pretty sure that’s not true.
Ooooooooookay...
To progressives, black people are cannon fodder.
Addled loudmouth would do America a favor if he shut his Corn hole rather than spew from it.

Ditto. Have a good friend that cannot manage money especially when folks are stealing it. He got kicked out of his other credit union so had to get him another account so he could pay his bills by the auto withdrawal method not requiring a checking account, which he can’t have.
Same story, two pieces of ID required.
Cornholio!
I’d like to challenge a working American...go for 365 days without use of an ID. It can’t be done anymore. As for non-working Americans? Go and apply for various programs? I don’t think you will get past the first round at the government office without being forced to show some form of ID.
Want to live or hunt off the land? If you own the acreage, fine....but that hunting license or fishing license will require you to show an ID before getting them. Maybe prior to the 1970s...we could just show up and say we were the oldest son of James J Jones of Little Rock, and that got us service.
What if me and and friend showed up at a certain polling place in the ATL in KKK uniforms with a german shepherd each - or maybe a billy club?
Think it would go like it did in philly when two guys dressed up in black panther garb showed up at a certain polling place with billy clubs swinging?

...and that indeed gets to the heart of the matter. So much for ridiculous democrat talking points regarding racist republican’s denying the vote to po folks.
The problem is that minorities are being USED by Dems.
A big part of the problem with many ‘african americans’ is that they’re neither.
The truth is, Progressive Leftists are opposed to individual liberty as defined in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. The only real complaint they have about chattel slavery in America two hundred years ago is that the slaves were privately owned.
But they get orgasmic over the idea of slavery to the state.
Democrats never pass up on opportunity to tell us why enslavement by the state is for our own protection and our own safety, because life under the anarchy that conservatives want to impose is just too risky and dangerous. We can't have any of that inhumane "on-your-own economics" that conservatives advocate.
Thereby proving that you no longer have to be black to be an Uncle Tom.
“But…they are so disaffected or so distant from this election that they may not even know that they’re not being allowed to vote.”
Theyre incapable of obtaining ID. They dont know that theyre not being allowed to vote. They dont know that theyre being intimidated.
Tell us, Mr Corn. Is there anything the black community can do and does know? Because to hear you democrats tell it, the black community is utterly helpless, incompetent, and too stupid for words. Some people would say thats a racist attitude you and your fellow democrats hold.
I am now so intimidated, I do not think I will vote this year.
