Obama OKs Black Panther Voter Intimidation

Career Justice Department officials who filed a civil complaint against members of the Black Panther Party for wielding nightsticks and using racial slurs to prevent whites from entering voting booths were told by Obama's political appointees to drop the case.

Career lawyers pursued the case for months, including obtaining an affidavit from a prominent 1960s civil rights activist who witnessed the confrontation and described it as "the most blatant form of voter intimidation" that he had seen, even during the voting rights crisis in Mississippi a half-century ago.

Alas, Obama believes this is justice. Intimidation only works against minorities. Chicago thuggery? You decide.
