the most blatant form of voter intimidation I've ever seen

Wow, hyperbole much?

In Afghanistan they're cutting off the fingers of people who dared to vote.

That's voter intimidation.

See also: Jim Crow.

Actually, rethugs like Monica Goodling and Tim Griffin supressing hundreds of thousands of votes through the use of caging lists in 2004 was a far more egregious anti-democratic action than this moron in cammy-wear twirling a nightstick.

And nothing happened to those asswipes, of course, except one of them became Gonzo's Assistant and the other was in line to get a DOJ job as a reward.

The mob rule tactics of the astro-turfed right in the health care debate are a form of intimidation as well.

Do rtards call shenanigans on them?

Hell no.

Wrong is wrong but let's have some perspective here.

Wot these guys did was dumb, no doubt about it but it certainly aint a hanging offense as some on the right seem to think.

As opposed to the birther nonsense, the "death panel" crap and the "Obama's coming to take our guns" fear-mongering this "scandal" definitely has more weight, ...which is to say "some".

The optics are not good here.

Be Well.

Who the fuck is Bartle Bull, btw?

Never mind. Gots teh googlZ!

They were campaigning outside a polling place

Has this been proved?

They were outside a polling place, yes.

But campaigning?

Were they wearing "Vote Obama or Die" buttons?

Did they try to sway voters?

Were they telling people not to vote?

Or were they just being counter productive morons with a racist chip on their shoulders?

Be Well.

Ignore the video of blacks dressed in military garb intimidating voters with a nightstick

Are you a fucking whackjob, Joe?

It's impossible to ignore that video.

FOX put it on a loop and then stuck it on heavy rotation for most of election day in a deliberate and obvious ploy to awaken racist sentiments.

Spud at the time sed wot these guys were doing was dumb but that FOX making it into their lead story on election day were even worse.

Spud still holds that belief, btw.

This faux outrage from the right is nothing if not amusing.

It's just another molehill they're trying to make into yet another mountain.

It's the mote in Obama's eye they whine about ceaselessly while ignoring the beam in their own.

Spud sez GL wit dat.

Run with it.

Knock yerself out.

Be Well.

In '08, we have video evidence of blatant voter intimidation by Black Panther members and Spud accuses FOX News as the racists for showing the footage?

Blatent voter intimidation?

all we have to do is wait until Andrew SullHIVan tells us how to respond.

Actually, unlike the right the left have a tendency to make up their own minds.

Know that may be a bit of a scary concept to a ditto-headed sheep like yerself, Airhead, but do grasp it.

The nightstick twirling moron was told by police that he couldn't stand outside the polling place and he left.

The other dumbass got involved in a dumb and dumber interview with FOX which made both of their mental inadequacies readily apparent.

Voter intimidation involves denying a vote, suppressing a vote, using force to coerce a vote or threatening retaliation for voting a certain way.

These rebels w/o a clue did none of that.

Ergo these charges deserved to be dropped without clogging up the courts any further.

The only blame Obama deserves here is for not calling this guy a jackass at the time.

Spud still holds that FOX were the bigger assholes here.

Be Well.

Are you freaking crazy? Anyone not intimidated by a man in paramilitary garb, waving a baton in front of a polling place is packing heat or crazy.

But those mulletted, mouth breathing, wife beater-wearing, inbred SOB's showing up outside town hall meetings with firearms are cool right?

Lawls.

So standing in front of the door of a polling place holding a nightstick and saying "you're going to be ruled by the black man now, cracker" does not constitute "intimidation?"

It doesn't constitute "voter intimidation", dimbulb.

Aint you been listening to Spud at all?

Dang, thought you was supposed to be some type of lawyer or sommat.

^_^

Be Well.
