They tried last night but the Saints were not having it.

He looks like a school crossing guard. Very scarey! Especially as he greets and holds the door open for the old white ladies.

“It’s time for us to go intimidate the honky voters!”
“Wut u mean ‘us’ white man?”

I loved the clip from Fox showing the guy greeting voters and opening the door for them.
It could only be sold as intimidation because the guy is black. That’s Faux for ya though.

THE ONLY REASON MITT ROMNEY IS NOT CARRYING PENNSYLVANIA IS THE BLACK PANTHERS. YOU HEARD IT HEAR FIRST.
Giant flashing siren.
DEVELOPING….

Is Philly the Black Panther’s natural habitat? Seems the couple that were spotted in 2008 were in the same area.

I hope someone “intimidates” my 79-year-old mom like that when she goes to vote today.

As a resident of the Philly area I’d think that white folks here would be used to being around a lot of black folks.

Somehow, I doubt they wanted to show the scary man open the door. My goodness he was in a military stance…wtf.

@kindness:
There ya go. Big black dude courteously opening a door = intimidation. Overweight white dude opening a door with a surly snarl (ala Dick Cheney) = not intimidation.

Uniform on a white person: reassuring.
Uniform on a black person: terrifying.

Probably one of those moocher veteran types, as opposed to a maker chickenhawk, like one of the Mittlets.

Dammit, Cole, you’re not supposed to tell anyone about the super secret decoder ring.

So, when are we going to have an Electoral Vote prediction thread?
Comrade Mary
I’m sorry, but when it comes to voter intimidation, you have to go to white people to get the job done right.
Oh — wait:
Original story at the Columbus Dispatch.

@quannlace:
Call me old fashioned, but Oakland, CA, is the natural habitat of Black Panthers.
This thing in Philly is just not old school.

Stupid libs don’t even know how to spell “O.G. Holder” correctly.

I was driven to vote for decency by my inner Black Panther. Due to my light complexion, blond hair and blues eyes It didn’t film as well for Faux use.

@Cacti:
I predict there will be 538 electoral votes. And you can TAKE THAT TO THE BANK.

“Intimidate” ?
Is that like ‘Hannidate’ for black people?

The Ancient Randonneur
You just missed Erick fearless leader of the Red State Strike Force whining on CNN that Hurricane Sandy will be to blame if Romney loses. I may have to turn off the TV or might overdose on schadenfreude before the polls close on the East Coast.

You can tell by the smile on the black dude’s face as he opens the door for those vulnerable white women that he wants to kill them and rape their daughters.

@Chyron HR:
Bookmark that, libs!

this just in: a black guy in a hat spotted at voting location.

@The Ancient Randonneur:
Oh, Hurricane Sandy is to blame? Not the fact that Rmoney is the worst major party candidate for President in my lifetime, which includes such gems as Nixon and the deserting coward?
Erickson’s demise via feet first woodchipper cannot come a nanosecond too soon.
Hunter Gathers
You should’ve sprung for the brain implant. Not only did I get the message from Holder, but I also get 6 months of free BET, Jay-Z’s entire catalog on MP3 and the ability to do a killer Rudy Ray Moore impersonation.

@Cacti:
There was one this morning. Check downstairs.

@chopper:
But was it a black hat? /calibrates fear level

Obama winning because of Hurricane Sandy proves that God does not want a Republican in the White House.

@chopper:
I have it on good authority that in Maricopa County, AZ, hispanics have been spotted voting. Sheriff Arpaio has yet to comment on this development.

I’ve still got my ring, but when I decoded the message, all it said was, “Be sure to drink your Ovaltine.”

@Comrade Mary: Oooooooohhhhh! That’s… not at all surprising

Obama winning because of Hurricanes Sandy, Candy and/or Randy means better luck in 2016, losers.

@Villago Delenda Est:
Hey, at least Dick isn’t shooting them all in the face. On the other hand, I only wish Dick Cheney would show up to my polling place to open the door for me. It’s dark and lonely out there and any number of bad things could happen…..Dick? Dick is that you? BOOM! Oh! I’m sorry Dick.
Cacti
That stupid hurricane had to come along and ruin a perfectly serviceable talking point that Obama is in over his head and can’t work with Republicans.
Before that, the stupid economy had to improve, and wipe out that 8% unemployment talking point.
It’s damned conspiracy, I tells ya. Arglebargle!

@Cacti: Hopefully TONS of them. Would be sweet to toss that scumbag.

Funny how a hurricane hurts a Republican and helps the Democrat. Funny how that works.

@Comrade Mary:
oops, or what she said.
Culture of Truth
Nov. 6 (Washington Post)– The Romney campaign now saying internals attributed to their pollster Neil Newhouse showing Mitt up in Ohio, tied in WI, PA “are incorrect”
The numbers — showing Romney three points up in New Hampshire, two points up in Iowa and dead level in Wisconsin — have circulated on conservative blogs since the British tabloid’s report.
HA HA

I told my mom about this, and she used a word that people from Northern Ireland over-use, but in this case was entirely appropriate: “Desperate”.

@Villago Delenda Est:
Black Panthers in Philly are like pythons in the Everglades. They thrive because there is plenty of prey and no natural predators.

@Comrade Mary:
AH HAHAHAHA HAAAAAA!
Is it still “irony” if everyone expects True the Vote morons to be as criminally hypocritical as possible?

Yes. And delicious irony it is. Almost as sweet as the wingnut tears that will be shed over the issue.

Is the “New Black Panther Party” like the “Padres Fan”?
SFAW
@Sly:
“Mother rapers! … father stabbers! … Father rapers! Father rapers standing right there holdin’ the door open for old white folk!”
Only thing missing is that the polling place ain’t on Whitehall Street.
SFAW
@Culture of Truth:
Is “are incorrect” the new Rethug-speak for “total bullshit”? Because it seems as if that phrase should have been used with more of Rmoney’s figures than just polling numbers.

@JC
Well, if keeping the polling-place door open is what is required, I’m sure that the NBPP could find no better doorstop than our own Mr. Cole…

Still calling for volunteers for mop up duty post-election. The camps will be fully staffed. The “guests” will be on transports. We need a few folks for “clean up” duty.
gelfling545
No need to intimidate. Just have machines that will only select Romney.
danimal
@Darkrose: I’m a Padres fan. Does that make me intimidating? I could totally strike fear with my 19 jersey, right?

What no hoodies…it’s cold outside in Philly…not in Oakland where it is beautiful,warm and sunny.

OMFG…did you see that…towards the end of that video?! He held the door open for those old white ladies. The apocalypse is coming in the form of the blahs coming to hold the door open for old white people. Gotta go, I hear the black helicopters coming.

Sorry John, but I’ve seen your pic.
No way you can intimidate folks in WV or PA.

So they’re saying that Republicans run screaming at the sight of a black guy?
Mandarama
I’ve been driving people to the polls today, and just like in 2008, no matter what part of my city I go into–even the worst housing projects–I’ve been treated with nothing but kindness. I suspect that all-white neighborhoods would not behave the same to black campaign volunteers.
I love doing VoteRide–but I feel sad that some suburban white woman like myself is needed to help the poor among us get to the polls. It should be easier than this to exercise your right to vote.
JasonF
As a reminder, during the health care debate, when Tea Party members showed up armed to town hall meetings, they were only exercising their God-given Second Amendment rights, and anybody who felt intimidated needs to get over it.
Jim Pharo
John, George Soros called and said your shift in Philly begins at 4. Try to look menacing!

The Obama Thug-New Black Panther operation is better than that, John. They know you’re not a brotha.

Did you know that teams of former Navy Seals are on their way to confront the army of New Black Panthers that is intimidating white voters? Breitbart.com says so.
