Maybe you remember this picture:

It was taken last November in Philadelphia, on election day, as members of the Black Panther Party “assisted” voters by providing “security” as they cast their ballots.  They weren’t asked to be there, weren’t paid, and had nothing to do with the election.  So, why were they hanging around armed with nightsticks?  Gee, I wonder.

The matter, as you may know, was going to be the subject of a court case, charging the two men with voter intimidation, brandishing a weapon, and issuing racial threats and slurs.  None of the men involved have ever made any appearance in court.

Now, the entire matter has been tossed out of court by Associate Attorney General Thomas J. Perrelli, the number three man in Obama’s Department Of Justice.  The Washington Times has broken the story as a big exclusive, so I suggest you go here and read up.  It’s fascinating stuff, and yet another in a long line of Obama’s post-election quid-pro-quos.

Acorn faces voter fraud charges in 14 states?  Obama gives them $5.2 Billion in bailout money.

Auto unions instruct their membership to vote for Obama?  Obama gives them partial ownership of the car companies he ordered into bankruptcy.

Write favorable accounts of the President’s campaign for Newsweek?  Get a job in the administration. 

Intimidate voters at a polling place in Philadelphia?  Don’t worry, the administration has your back.

Just imagine if a couple of Klan members had decided to provide “security” for polling places during the last Bush election and, once elected, Bush’s DOJ had decided to drop intimidation charges.  The outcry would have been massive, instantaneous, and completely justified.  The only difference here is the simple fact that the bleeding hearts are silent.

Remember:  It’s only intimidation if it doesn’t help Obama.  Otherwise, it’s called ”voter assistance.”  Please, make a note of it.
