On the day President Obama was elected, armed men wearing the black berets and jackboots of the New Black Panther Party were stationed at the entrance to a polling place in Philadelphia. They brandished a weapon and intimidated voters and poll watchers. After the election, the Justice Department brought a voter-intimidation case against the New Black Panther Party and those armed thugs. I and other Justice attorneys diligently pursued the case and obtained an entry of default after the defendants ignored the charges. Before a final judgment could be entered in May 2009, our superiors ordered us to dismiss the case.

Holder is the enabler being he runs the DOJ, if that department is corrupt Zer0 can do as he pleases, and he does because the RAT majority is unwilling to call for a special prosecutor.
Indeed. But few people know about the original incident, because the MSM didn't cover it.
Fewer still know that Holder refused to prosecute. The MSM didn't cover that, either.
Of course, maybe they'll decide to cover Adams' testimony...
And, for good measure, hurling racial epithets at the voters.

U.S. Commission On Civil Rights' info page on the New Black Panthers investigation here. Might want to archive it now. Don't know when Zero gets his chance to make new appointments to this commission, but when he does this will all be scrubbed.
My fantasy is the ENTIRE Obongo Bozo administration perp walking to the Big House in 2013!
They should have been arrested on the spot!
Damn the LIEberal/Socialist/Marxist/Fascist Bastards who are destroying our country.
Thanks for your posts and links. Good stuff!
Amen and thanks, I was unaware of the other thread.
Thanks for the link, I’ll be watching it.
The Obama Justice Department hates white people.
No doubt about it.
There's a 14 min video at the link with Adams specifically saying the DOJ voter rights division lawyers are hostile to bringing voting rights cases against minorities.
