"So you want to talk about voter intimidation?"

[WhiskeyGirl]

Bring up the cold, established fact of vote fraud, and the left will counter by saying that voter intimidation is the real problem -- hinting, as did the absurd Fred Kessler, that wild gangs of Lake Country lunching ladies were heading for Milwaukee to scare off Democrats from the polls.

All right, you want to talk voter intimidation? Let’s. The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights did the other day, and Hans von Spakofsky reported on it for National Review. Especially exciting was the part where members of the New Black Panther Party marched into the room in paramilitary uniforms and started taking pictures of people testifying about how the racist thugs tried ethnically cleansing the vote in Philadelphia in 2008.

The hearing was to get the Obama Justice Department to explain why it dropped the prosecution of the documented, recorded-on-video, dead-to-rights felony voter intimidation. No adequate explanation was, in the end, offered. But interesting testimony emerged, writes von Spakofsky:

“Bartle Bull — a well-known Democratic lawyer (and former publisher of The Village Voice), who worked in the South during the height of the civil-rights campaign — saw (voters scared away). He had also gotten a call about the intimidation and drove to the polling place. One of the Panthers pointed his billy club at Bull and said, ‘Now you are going to find out what it is to be ruled by the black man, cracker.’ This to a man who started off as a volunteer for Adlai Stevenson, who headed Robert Kennedy’s campaign in New York in 1968, and who, in 1971, worked to get civil-rights stalwart Charles Evers elected governor of Mississippi.

“Bull saw several voters walk up the long driveway to the polling place, stop, turn around, and leave when they saw the Panthers standing there in their black uniforms and combat boots with one of them slapping a billy club in his hand. It was a pretty dramatic moment in the hearing room when Bull, Hill, and Mauro turned in their chairs, and Bull pointed to one of the Panthers sitting two seats down from me and identified him as the one who wielded the billy club that day and who also said on the National Geograpic documentary that he wanted to kill white people.”

So, yes, by all means, let's chase down voter intimidation -- starting with the documented cases.
