New Black Panther Dismissal is Sleeper Issue for 2010 Midterms

Earlier today I had the opportunity to attend the United States Commission on Civil Rights’ hearing on the U.S. Department of Justice and the New Black Panther Party litigation. The testimony by the hearing's lone witness, former DoJ lawyer J. Christian Adams, was nothing short of extraordinary.

During the 2008 presidential election, members of the New Black Panther Party were caught on videotape brandishing a nightstick and hurling racial taunts at white and black voters as they sought entry to a polling station in Philadelphia.

Following the irrefutable evidence caught on film of voter intimidation, the Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against three individuals and the Black Panther Party itself for violating Section 11(b) of the Voting Rights Act — which prohibits intimidation, threats and coercion. When none of the named defendants nor the New Black Panther Party showed up for trial in April 2009, a default judgment was entered in favor of the government.

Here's where things get interesting. After the government had won its case in the absence of the defense to present itself, the Department of Justice abruptly changed course and sought to voluntarily dismiss the charges against three of the defendants while giving a slap on the hand to another by telling him that he was not able to go to Philadelphia polling stations through the 2012 elections. The big question as to why the Department of Justice would drop the charges on a clear-cut case of voter intimidation startled many; in today's commission hearing, I think we found the answer that had so far been elusive.

In emotional testimony, J. Christian Adams, until last week a member of the DoJ's Voting Section — he resigned in protest over the department's handling of the case — told a stunned hearing room why he felt the case had been dropped. In no uncertain terms, Adams noted that senior officials within the Obama Justice Department had told employees that they were not to bring voting-rights cases where the alleged victim in the case was white. In other words, white transgressor and black victim, bring it on. Black transgressor and white victim? Forget about it.

I will let Adams speak for himself; his words were electric and disturbing. Long ignored by the traditional media, the Philadelphia Inquirer and other outlets have begun to question the Obama administration about its apparent inability to adjudicate justice blind of race or ideology. If Adams’s claim that the Department of Justice has instructed officials to ignore cases in which blacks victimize whites to focus on white-on-black cases, this will be the sleeper issue that could explode to toss the Democrats out of office in 2010 and 2012.

Americans have struggled with issues of race and equality since our founding. If America's first black president and attorney general have been found to selectively prosecute members of one race while ignoring members of another based strictly on the color of skin rather than the color of law, they will have foolishly fanned the flames of racial suspicion while tarnishing the legacy of civil rights pioneers who sought a color-blind society.   It is time for the Department of Justice to fully account for its failure to prosecute members of the New Black Panther Party for their apparent crimes. Would the Obama administration recklessly use the force and weight of our scales of justice to charge whites while providing a free pass to blacks for committing the same offense to score political points? Let us all hope and pray the answer is no while the evidence before us indicates another answer to the question.

Wish those punks would have tried to get in my way. Who are the male men in that area that were “intimidated”? Whimps. They should have rounded up a few fellas and went over there and removed those jack asses!

That may be so, but the Black Panthers, original and new, were revolutionary communists.

From the article: REVOLUTIONARY HEROES

"On May 1st, May Day [1969], the day of the gigantic Free Huey rally, two of Alioto's top executioners vamped on the brothers from the Brown Community who were attending to their own affairs. These brothers, who are endowed with the revolutionary spirit of the Black Panther Party defended themselves from the racist pig gestapo [the police].

Pig Joseph Brodnik received his just reward with a big hole in the chest. Pig Paul McGoran got his in the mouth which was not quite enough to off him.

The revolutionary brothers escaped the huge swarm of pigs with dogs, mace, tanks and helicopters, proving once again that "the spirit of the people is greater than the man's technology."

To these brothers the revolutionary people of racist America want to say, by your revolutionary deed you are heroes, and that you are always welcome to our camp."

You know it’s bad when even the ORIGINAL Black Panthers, and the Huey P. Newton Foundation have condemned the New Black Panthers:

How telling is it that Eric Holder won’t prosecute them?

Those pictures look no different than any other "gang pride" pictures I've seen.

Why do these idiots support Mao? If they knew anything, the real Mao himself would have laughed at them as his fellow soldiers marched them to the firing squad.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

This is the federal government deliberately refusing to bring criminals to justice.
But you can be sure they would put any White person in jail for SAYING the “n word.”

Why do these idiots support Mao?

Many of the communists in Obama's circle are Maoist, including "rev" Wright, Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, Farrakhan, Van Jones, Anita Dunn, Jeff Jones, etc, etc, etc. The Weather Underground, Black Panthers (original) and Black Liberation Army were Maoist, as is the Revolutionary Communist Party.

From Investor's Business Daily (IBD), August 27, 2008:

"Ayers, now a tenured distinguished professor of education at UIC, works to educate teachers in socialist revolutionary ideology, urging that it be passed on to impressionable students.

One of Ayer's descriptions for a course called 'Improving Learning Environments' says prospective K-12 teachers need to 'be aware of the social and moral universe we inhabit and ... be a teacher capable of hope and struggle, outrage and action, teaching for social justice and liberation.

The Annenberg papers are quite extensive — 132 boxes containing 947 file folders with 70 linear feet of material. They undoubtedly contain more surprises regarding Obama's relationship with Ayers, one of many relationships Obama has sought to hide.'..."

You know it’s bad when even the ORIGINAL Black Panthers, and the Huey P. Newton Foundation have condemned the New Black Panthers

I recall reading that the main reason they "condemned" them was that they felt there was no longer any reason to use violence and intimidation in order to reach their revolutionary goals. That they were on the doorstep already, or something to that effect

[ETL]

From the Louis Farrakhan, Nation of Islam website, FinalCall.com...
Malik Zulu Shabazz, chairman of the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense (NBPP):
"We are happy today to be standing side by side with the Nation of Islam. We believe, like the Nation of Islam and the Honorable Elijah Muhammad believe, in a nation of our own. We believe in a Black first philosophy and a Black Liberation Theology. We don’t worry about the criticism. We love all of those who labored in the Panther Party from the ’60s. Many are with us today."

Well, except for Robert Byrd- he gets the nice eulogy from ObaMao.

“I recall reading that the main reason they “condemned” them was that they felt there was no longer any reason to use violence and intimidation in order to reach their revolutionary goals. That they were on the doorstep already, or something to that effect.”

Now there’s a comforting thought. I’m sure they wouldn’t have any qualms though about reverting back to their old ways once they feel they can they can get away with it.

You know, Asians and Hispanics really aren’t fond of Blacks. As in really. So, with the precedent set, they’ve got some serious payback coming for this flagrant illegality. They wanna play revenge, they’d better know the ante they’ve just upped.
