Is there any estimate as to the number of members of the NBPP? I’m seen enough of the two guys featured on Fox to last me a lifetime. I get the feeling they are just limelight-seekers who know that sounding outrageous is good for ratings. (After all, they keep getting asked back, what, 50 times now?)

I’ve not seen any numbers for their total but King Shabazz is the leader of the Philadelphia chapter.

Malik Shabazz is their national leader and they have chapters in different cities so they number a lot more than what we see on TV about this incident.

That used to be the old line from the Jesse Jackson Al Sharpton types, about blacks and racism. Blacks can’t be racist because they don’t have power.

But who has the power now? Obama and Holder.

I guess they’re going to have to find a new self serving excuse, that one doesn’t fit anymore.

I want to see Democrats in hand cuffs over this outrage.

This case will never die down, until justice is done.

The civil-rights laws will not be enforced.

Correction: "... will not be enforced against leftists."

What do the Democrats have on the non-conservative Thernstrom?

That’s a good question.

There’s something screwy because she did an about face on this voter intimidation.

When I read some background on her and the people she’s tied to it reminded me a little of Richard Mellon Scaife. He’s supposedly a staunch conservative but he and his newspaper supported John Murtha for years.

What’s the innocent excuse for these people to be wearing these uniforms?

Never heard of any in this state - not even in Newark. It’s hard to tell if they are a real group or just few knuckleheads who like to get on TV by spouting off outrageous garbage like “kill cracker babies.”

Curious jaz. I did not see in the article any reason, or speculation as to reason this Abigail Thernstrom person would take the outrageous stance she has taken on the matter, but then the article isn’t about that, and I shouldn’t expect it. Perhaps other FReepers can convince me she is “Conservative”, but I don’t think so.

I am NOT all that familiar with her, only having known her name in her former position. Seems a name one doesn’t forget, as well my penchant for profiling leads me to believe with such a name, and her appearance that she is quite the Leftist. I say Conservative my foot.

I agree with you, RQSR. I’ve no idea what her reasons are but am very suspicious of her being a conservative.

Check my post #12. If anything I put her down as a lib or maybe a country club RINO.

That thought hadn’t crossed my mind but it’s a possibility, people do strange things with the onset of dementia.

Did someone get to Abigail with threats, or promises of a better job?
