Under Obama’s DOJ agreement…Black Panthers free to return to polls in November

Shortly after becoming Attorney General, Eric Holder dropped charges against three Black Panthers, who were caught on video, trying to intimidate white voters outside of a Philadelphia polling location on Election Day 2008.

The three, Minister King Samir Shabazz, Malik Zulu Shabazz and Jerry Jackson were all charged during the final days of the Bush administration with violating the Voting Rights Act by using coercion, threats and intimidation.

Shabazz held a nightstick, pointing it at people. Prosecutors said he “supports racially motivated violence against non-blacks and Jews.”

Charges were brought against the Black Panthers by the Bush administration. However, the Obama administration dropped them in May 2009, settling instead, for an agreement with Shabazz to not carry a “deadly weapon” into or near a polling place until 2012.

Which, means that come November…we may very well see a repeat of the ugly 2008 incident, now synonymous with Obama’s Department of Justice.

At the time of the incident, poll watcher Bartle Bull provided a sworn affidavit to the crime saying: “I watched the two uniformed men confront voters and attempt to intimidate voters. They were positioned in a location that forced every voter to pass in close proximity to them. The weapon was openly displayed and brandished in plain sight of voters.”

Bull also claimed that the Black Panthers tried to "interfere with the work of other poll observers ... whom the uniformed men apparently believed did not share their preferences politically.” He said that one of the black panthers told a white poll worker “you are about to be ruled by the black man, cracker.”

Last year, Bull spoke out on the event again, telling Fox News: “I find it deeply offensive. I know people who died over these issues, like Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr. If we can't defend their legacy, it's shameful to us and this administration.”

He continued: “If Americans can't vote honestly, and the government doesn't protect their right to vote, we don't live in a democracy. Last year Obama complained when the government in Afghanistan did not run the election properly. What about Pennsylvania?”

In not prosecuting the Black Panthers, Bull says Obama “violated his oath of office.”

It should be noted that Bartle Bull, a longtime Democrat, was a civil rights lawyer in the 1960’s as well as a campaign manager for Robert F. Kennedy.

In 2010, DOJ whistleblower J. Christian Adams testified before Congress about the refusal to uphold the law as it applies to everyone, which is now occurring under Attorney General Eric Holder. While all of the focus has been on what many would say is the DOJ’s outright protection of the Black Panthers in what was a blatant violation of the Voting Rights Act, there may actually be an even more troubling policy at DOJ.

According to Adams, the DOJ has undertaken a policy not to purge the voter rolls of ineligible voters, such as felons and dead people.

Adams reports that he attended a meeting at which Deputy Assistant Attorney General Julie Fernandez, who supervises the voting section at DOJ, actually instructed her attorneys not to enforce the law because it “would not increase turnout.”
