Nightstick. It's a weapon specifically designed for physical force and held by one of two members in military-style uniform of a group with a known violent history. But hey, why should we care.....they were "security" and brandishing a weapon at a polling place is common to every election.
I agree 100% with you Tim! I watched that video earlier and my favorite part is when the news guy went to interview the one Black Panther and the Panther said, "...and I'm telling you, you got no authorization to be at this pollin' station, that's what you got!"
To which the reporter responded, "Yeah, that's what they told us earlier, and in fact we checked with our legal department, the Philadelphia Board of Elections, and we do in fact have the legal right to be within 10 feet from the entrance of a polling place, and YOU should know that!" LOL
As for the guy who was "asked to leave and left..." he was escorted away by police.
wow. A guy with a stick, who was asked to leave and then left. Friends our very democracy is at stake. lol
What would happen if a white supremist (sp?) was standing outside the door, holding a night stick in his hand? There would be all hell to pay! The country would go ballistic!

Get used to it, Rich. The double standard will continue.
There is always irony in any situation. I find it very ironic that the party of segregation, the party that founded the KKK, the party of George Wallace, JB Stoner and other racists, is the party that elected President Elect BO.
I also find it ironic that PE BO referenced MLK Jr. who was in fact, a Republican.
I find it ironic that the words of Abraham Lincoln are coming true. "You can fool all of the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time. But, you can't fool all of the people all of the time."
Yes, there is plenty of irony in this election.
It is going to be an interesting and incredibly profitable time for some of us.
Congratulations, PE BO. I pray our republic survives your turn at the helm of power.
Stupid people are just stupid. It does not matter what the color of their skin is, and there is plenty of stupid to go around.
Didn't two white guys in Tennessee try and rob a couple of gun stores with a plot to kill Obama? For some reason I picture them in food stained wife beater shirts, a case of Budweiser in the trunk, and their plans written on a napkin.... :D

What?
Don't you know any history? All of those were members of the Democrat party.
Bush said that, McCain said that, do YOU have a problem with the subject?
If so, that's sad..
No reply needed and thanks for your support!
I'm curious. Why do you have such a chip on your shoulder? Your guy won! Be happy! We are all going to witness his performance in office. The way you are carrying on it almost looks like you are afraid he won't live up the many and varied promises he's made and the expectations he has allowed to be set.
His election is historical. Of that there is no doubt. But, the only reason it is historical is because of his skin color.

I'm guessing because Obama had to run on a Reagan platform. :wink: And give the Democratic party a little credit. Sure they were wrong on the race issue for 145 years but galdang it, the last 10 months they have gotten it right. If the Democratic party can change, anyone can change. BTW, how's Robert Byrd? He still in office?
In numbers maybe, in percentages not even close. But, voter turn out makes his election historic? Really.
So, he is between the youngest and the oldest. Yawn.
Lots of Presidents have had kids. Teddy Roosevelt had a house full of them.
THANK YOU! It always has been but the racebaiters wouldn't admit it.
Now, that is just pathetisad.
Look at the headlines here and around the world. It doesn't say America elected a President with two young daughters (or any of the others you mentioned). They are all talking about America electing the FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT!
It is incredibly historic and you should be ashamed of yourself to trivialize it with the items you mentioned above. He will forever be the first black POTUS and given the history of this country, it is an incredible achievement.

I agree on the race thing. I am very proud of how far race relations have progressed in spite of the racebaiters.
Yes, the former Grand Dragon of the KKK is still the senior Senator from WV.
It is not the politcs behind this for me, I see this as a turning point for our country in the respect of having more Americans deciding to have a voice and participate in the political process.
People actually cared enough to get off of the couch and exercise their right to vote.
That is an amazing occurrence, and something we should all be proud of.
