You're like that English dude that used to hang with George Jefferson, except with bog-trotter legs.

Clarification 32 green
I respect your being offended with this and agree that the only people in uniform at polling places should be for example the NYPD people that I saw today when I voted.

My only objection was the article by Breitbart creating what appears to me to be a false perception that a vast army of armed black militia marched into Philly organized by the Obama campaign to intimidate Romney voters when the reality appears to be one guy at one polling place in an African American area of Philly (where the likelihood of even finding a significant group of Romney voters to intimately is probably extremely small)

sg3 knows full well they murdered over 10 cops in cold blood, yet he dismisses it out of political expediency and convenience. A trait shared by many in the White House, which is why this election is so important.

Its the point; This sort of nonsense could have/should have been snuffed out since the last election. If it had been a Klansman...it would have, MOST ASSUREDLY.

Do you disagree?

Not the same; legislatures all over the US voted in "Jim Crow" laws, which assisted the Klan in membership drives. Looking closely, Frank Rizzo and the Philadelphia PD, displayed overt racism, ad nauseum, throughout time.

Killing cops is unacceptable.

The Panthers are not a throwback to "African Heritage". They are but one response to the cruel and inhumane treatment suffered by blacks at the hands of the white majority

What's your phrase? "Dismissed out of political expediency and convenience".

Killing a cop should mean "Instant Death Penalty". There is no acceptable excuse; even if you do live in Philly.

Maybe potential cops should have walked away from the working conditions in Philly, under Rizzo.

Can a white guy join the Black Panthers? Do they have a quota to admit like 20% white people or something.

lol....

In 59 Philadelphia voting divisions, Mitt Romney got zero votes

http://articles.philly.com/2012-11-1...y-voter-id-law

Quote:
Larry Sabato, a political scientist at the University of Virginia who has studied African American precincts, said he had occasionally seen 100 percent of the vote go for the Democratic candidate. Chicago and Atlanta each had precincts that registered no votes for Republican Sen. John McCain in 2008.

"I'd be surprised if there weren't a handful of precincts that didn't cast a vote for Romney," he said. But the number of zero precincts in Philadelphia deserves examination, Sabato added.

"Not a single vote for Romney or even an error? That's worth looking into," he said.
Gee.... ya think?
