Violence in American Politics Increases

http://worthreading.ning.com July 12, 2010
Clad in military attire, New Black Panther bullies used weapons, racial insults and profanity to deter voters, and federal prosecutors in response filed a civil complaint in Philadelphia. However, the case was mysteriously and abruptly killed by a top Justice Department official just as a federal judge was preparing to punish the Black Panthers for ignoring the charges and refusing to appear in court. 

While the mainstream news media lambaste the Tea Partiers with accusations of racism, violence, hatred and other transgressions, these same reporters and pundits routinely turn a blind eye towards the violence perpetrated by liberal-left \”activists.\”
Routinely, Americans are spoon-fed allegations of Republicans attempting to disenfranchise Democrat voters, but in reality it is usually groups of activists who are allied with Democrats — ACORN, New Black Panthers, SEIU, etc. — discovered to be involved in using brutish tactics or corruption on behalf of their chosen politicos. Here are a few examples: 

• — In Monterey, California several elderly Tea Party patriots holding a peaceful rally were accosted by a leftist who used vulgar language and threatened the participants.

• — In South Florida, Tea Party participants were assailed by pro-illegal alien amnesty, while in a separate incident in Florida, SEIU members brutally attacked a black man who dared to join the Tea Party movement. Besides beating him to the ground, they screamed racial epithets at him.

• — In North Carolina, a local GOP chairman was physically attacked at a Tea Party rally by a known supporter of President Barack Obama. The Tea Party member was assaulted while his wife and toddler watched in horror.

The Department of Justice whistleblower who resigned over the \”corrupt nature of the dismissal\” of the New Black Panther case testified before the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights this week. Unfortunately, except for the Fox News Channel — Megyn Kelly, Glenn Beck and others — the nation\’s newsrooms are ignoring the story. 

At the hearing in the commission’s Washington D.C. headquarters, J. Christian Adams accused the DOJ of racial bias for dropping charges against the New Black Panther Party. An attorney on the case, Adams testified that within the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division there is a pervasive and open hostility towards equal enforcement of the law. So insidious is this attitude that, according to Adams, even a minority DOJ employee was harassed by DOJ Voting Section staff for working on a case with white victims. 

To support his allegations regarding the culture of the Civil Rights Division, Adams cited numerous second and firsthand accounts. Notably, he stated that Deputy Assistant Attorney General Julie Fernandes told him personally that the division is \”in the business of traditional civil rights work.
\”In other words, it will only pursue cases with minority victims,\” said officials at the Washington watchdog group Judicial Watch. 

His testimony before the commission focused on the New Black Panther case in Philadelphia on Election Day 2008. Members of the New Black Panthers – clad in paramilitary outfits and brandishing a club – intimidated voters as well as poll watchers. 

The individuals involved are seen on videotape verbally threatening citizens, hurling profanities and racial epithets. Using the 1965 Voting Rights Act, the Justice Department brought a voter-intimidation case against the group. Despite receiving a default judgment after the defendants in the case ignored the charges, the Obama Justice Department dropped the case in May 2009.
