Obama must've forgotten when Black Panthers intimidated voters and blocked poll watchers in Philly
Washington Examiner ^ | November 08, 2022 | Christopher Tremoglie

Barack Obama took to the stage in Michigan in late October to warn the crowd of the dangers of political rhetoric. He repeated similar claims during a rally Saturday night in Philadelphia. While not identifying any person or group in particular, it was evident that he meant the Republicans. He brought up the dangers of people standing outside voting booths armed to try to intimidate voters. Yet, Obama was singing a different tune in 2008 when the New Black Panther Party did this very same thing in Philadelphia. They harassed voters, verbally threatened poll watchers trying to enter, and called white voters "crackers" and "white devils."

...

"When we start demonizing them, making wild, crazy allegations about them, that creates a dangerous climate," Obama said at the political rally. "And if elected officials don't do more to explicitly reject that kind of rhetoric, if they tacitly support it or encourage their supporters to stand outside voting places, armed with guns, and dressed in tactical gear, more people can get hurt."

...

But when such tactics favor the Democrats, it's apparently "voter intimidation for thee, but not for me."

On Nov. 4, 2008, two members of the New Black Panther Party stood outside a polling site in Philadelphia, dressed in paramilitary uniforms, carrying a nightstick, intimidating voters, and calling them racist slurs. The two Black Panthers "stood shoulder to shoulder in front of the entrance to the polling place and were positioned in such a way that voters had to pass within arm's length of them to gain access."

According to testimonies, the Black Panther member with the nightstick was seen "slapping the nightstick in his free hand in a menacing manner and pointing the weapon at people located at the polling site." And, at one point, they blocked a poll watcher "from gaining access to the polling entrance. Both men were certified poll watchers "serving on behalf of the Democratic Party," which required training to "what constitutes proper behavior at a polling site."

...

Furthermore, evidence showed that at the polling site, they targeted white voters with "a series of racial epithets." They called white people "white devils," "white supremacists and crackers," and other racist, bigoted statements such as "f*** you cracker," "how you white mother [expletive] gonna like being ruled by a black man?", and "now you will see what it means to be ruled by the black man, cracker."

Yet, somehow, this case, after all of this evidence of intimidation and racism, was dropped by Obama's Department of Justice. This demonstrates that Obama's rhetoric about violence and fear is mere pretend. He doesn't care about voter intimidation — he just cares about saying whatever will benefit Democratic politicians and their left-wing political agenda.

Has anyone asked themselves why the election riggers allowed DeSantis to have a victorious night?

The answer is found by asking two questions. 1. How can Trump and his following be stopped? And 2. Which candidate can be propped up in order to divide the democrats opposition?

DeSantis has been allowed to be victorious by the election riggers in order to cause division and infighting within the gop.

What was it that alinsky stated in ‘rules for radicals’?

Rule 11: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it. Don’t try to attack abstract corporations or bureaucracies. Identify a responsible individual. Ignore attempts to shift or spread the blame.

According to Alinsky, the main job of the organizer is to bait an opponent into reacting. “The enemy properly goaded and guided in his reaction will be your major strength.”

The United States has chosen to serve other gods rather than embracing true victory...

2 Chronicles 7:14
King James Version

14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Another reason America finds herself divided, because she has sought to divide Israel despite God’s warning not to.

Here is a result of that:

He did not forget.

The case was done and all that remained was the sentencing but the DOJ dropped the case because it did not fit their narrative. The “law” was enforced. The narrative was not.

Too few realized the significance of what this meant at the time and it was followed by 8 years of narrative over law and we only saw the small amount of it that was publicized.

Listen to J. Christian Adams who was inside the bubble while it happened. It was stark. The DOJ was fundamentally transformed.

Hmmm, 30 years ago I could say what I see. Right now, I see a coward that thinks he or she is something. Show up in my world and DNA will identify you as you were born. Never had rounds headed his way

OBAMA is an expert at forgetting history-—including his own.

They were less a threat to honest elections than the DOJ jackboots DeSantis barred from the polling places.
