Similar to hate factions like the KKK and neo-Nazis, the New Black Panther Party is a militant hate group, headquartered in Washington, D.C. that seeks to redefine the black struggle for equality and demand liberation from what it sees as white supremecy.

Baton Rouge, La. (AP) -- A judge has ruled that a former Black Panther should be released on bail while he awaits a new trial on charges he killed a prison guard in April 1972. U.S. District Judge James Brady said Tuesday that Louisiana must release Albert Woodfox on bail until either it drop charges against him or retries him. The state is appealing Brady's previous ruling that Woodfox deserves a new trial because he had an ineffective defense lawyer. Woodfox is one of the inmates known as the "Angola Three."

We all remember the story of Democracy in action last week, where Black Panthers with nightsticks intimidated white voters in Philadelphia. This is not the first time the Black Panthers supplemented their First Amendment rights with weaponry. Back in June of 2000, a black guy was scheduled to be executed in Texas. The Black Panthers and their Muslim leader opposed the execution, and showed up at the Republican Convention to "protest" . . . with shotguns and AK-47s. This was not widely publicized by the MSM, but the local news ran a couple of stories. Tensions in the already intense...

You would think that with a landslide prediction that people would be able to vote without being harassed. Black Panthers intimidating voters in 2008? Why are they at polling stations that are predominantly voting Democrat anyways? Why can't they just sit home, watch CNN, and enjoy their day? If anything this will really influence midwest and rural voters to go out and vote for McCain. I can not believe how dumb some people can be. This Obama campaign reminds me of bullies. We need to go out and support McCain! Anyway, if you want to see the Black Panther videos...

Barack Obama laughs off charges of socialism. Joe Biden scoffs at references to Marxism. Both men shrug off accusations of liberalism. But Obama himself acknowledges that he was drawn to socialists and even Marxists as a college student. He continued to associate with Marxists later in life, even choosing to launch his political career in the living room of a self-described Marxist, William Ayers, in 1995, when Obama was 34. Obama's affinity for Marxists began when he attended Occidental College in Los Angeles. "To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully," the Democratic presidential candidate wrote...

During the April 16 debate between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, moderator George Stephanopoulos brought up "a gentleman named William Ayers," who "was part of the Weather Underground in the 1970s. They bombed the Pentagon, the Capitol and other buildings. He's never apologized for that." Stephanopoulos then asked Obama to explain his relationship with Ayers. Obama's answer: "The notion that somehow as a consequence of me knowing somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago, when I was 8 years old, somehow reflects on me and my values, doesn't make much sense, George." Obama was indeed only 8 in...

Workers World newspaper in the past has supported the candidates of Workers World Party running for national office in the U.S. presidential elections and who have put forward a revolutionary socialist program. This time we are taking the unusual step of endorsing the candidacy of Cynthia McKinney because these are unique times and this is a unique candidate.

As the association between Obama and Ayers came to light, it would have helped the senator a little if his friend had at least shown some remorse. But listen to Ayers interviewed in the New York Times on September 11, 2001, of all days: “I don’t regret setting bombs. I feel we didn’t do enough.” Translation: “We meant to kill that judge and his family, not just damage the porch.” When asked by the Times if he would do it all again, Ayers responded: “I don’t want to discount the possibility.” At the conclusion of his 2001 Times interview, Ayers...

One day after Barack Obama delivered a speech calling for improved race relations in America, the blogosphere was buzzing Wednesday about whether his campaign planned to remove an endorsement by the New Black Panther Party from his Web site. The New Black Panthers, who inherited their name from the Black Panther Party of the 1960s, has a page on the Obama campaign’s public forums that says it is backing Obama because he “represents ‘positive change’ for all of America. Obama will stir the ‘Melting Pot’ into a better ‘Molten America,’” the group says. The NBPP, which has been led since...

The Black Panthers tried to fight institutional racism with grass-roots action and coalition-building, not violence, said Black Panthers Party co-founder Bobby Seale at a presentation at Edgewood College Thursday night. Donning a black beret, Seale dismissed the one-dimensional image of the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense as a militant group to a crowd that filled up the bleachers and spilled out to the sidelines of the Edgedome. Seale, now 70, has written several books on the Black Panthers and has starred in a barbecue cooking show with his wife. The Black Panthers "crossed all racial lines," Seale said. The organization...

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: And they're monitoring our people to try to prevent the one person from coming up with the one idea. And the one idea is how we are going to exterminate white people. Because that, in my estimation, is the only conclusion I have come to. We have to exterminate white people off of the face of the planet to solve this problem. SEAN HANNITY, CO-HOST: Last night, we brought you this story of former North Carolina State University professor Kamau Kambon, who made those comments at a forum on media coverage of Hurricane Katrina last year. It has...

William Lee Brent, former bodyguard to Black Panther Party leader Eldridge Cleaver, died last week in Havana, Cuba. He would have been 76 last Friday. The cause was bronchial pneumonia, said Steve Wasserman, a close friend and editor of Mr. Brent's 1996 autobiography, "Long Time Gone." Mr. Brent was still a fugitive when he died, sought by U.S. law enforcement officials for his June 1969 hijacking of TWA flight No. 154 to Cuba. The plane, with 76 passengers aboard, was bound for New York from San Francisco. No one was hurt. He arrived in Havana expecting to be hailed as...

Hashim Nzinga appeared on Hannity & Colmes tonight to defend Cynthia McKinney slugging a Capitol Hill police officer. He also defended McKinney’s father who has publicly spoken out again Jews. Nzinga can relate because he too hates Jews, in fact he blames them for 9/11 and says they knew about it beforehand. However, tonight, Nzinga threatened Sean Hannity if he ever ran for Congress. Nzinga said he would come up to New York because the two need to be “one on one”. He wouldn’t go any further on air.

The New Black Panther Party is coming to New Orleans on Friday to represent the black "masses" who have been "displaced, murdered and abandoned" by a negligent government at war with its people, the group said in a press release.

A Canadian judge on Friday ordered a former Black Panther-turned-librarian back to Chicago to face charges that he tried to kill a police officer in 1969. Joseph Pannell was picked up in Toronto last year after being a fugitive since 1974 on charges of attempted murder and aggravated battery. He was accused of shooting Chicago police Officer Terrence Knox. Pannell, who was 55 when he was arrested last year, is also charged with jumping bail. Knox, who survived the attack, called the decision Friday by Justice David Watt "the most significant ruling in the case." "I never thought they would...
