Too bad Leonard Bernstein isn’t still around — he’d love to have this fellow over for one of his Park Avenue “Black Panther fondue and Twister parties,” as Iowahawk so memorably put it:

A Black Panther urging the taking of lives? Gee, that’s never happened before.

Back in 2005, on the 35th anniversary of the day the infamous party that Leonard and Felicia held to raise money for the original Panthers, I wrote:

Also attending was Tom Wolfe, who wrote the event up for an article originally published in New York magazine, called “Radical Chic.” Later that year, it would be published in book form, along with his “Mau-Mauing The Flak Catchers”, another article about similar (if more low-rent) shenanigans on the West Coast.You could make a pretty good argument (as I’m about to attempt) that “Radical Chic” was the most influential, or at least most significant, magazine article of the past forty years–and that it foreshadowed the next 34 years of American politics.

It helped that the timing of Wolfe’s article and book was exquisite. 1970 was the apex between two key presidential election years: two years after far left anti-war protestors attempted to disrupt the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, and two years before its 1972 equivalent, where, as Ben Wattenberg said back then, “there won’t be any riots in Miami because the people who tried to riot in Chicago are on the Platform Committee.”

As Wolfe tells the story, he was visiting his wife-to-be while she was working at Vanity Fair, and noticed an invitation on journalist David Halberstam’s desk to a cocktail party and fundraiser to be put on by the Bernsteins to raise money for the Panthers. Wolfe was intrigued, and called the number on the invitation to RSVP. A voice on the other end took down his name and told him he was added to the list. He arrived, the Bernsteins had some idea of who he was from his New York and Esquire articles, and in plain sight, he pulled out his reporter’s notepad and ballpoint pen, and began to jot down the evening’s events.

“I was openly taking notes”, he recently said, “but they just assumed that if I was there for New York magazine it was because I must have approved of what they were doing.”:

I just thought it was a scream, because it was so illogical by all ordinary thinking. To think that somebody living in an absolutely stunning duplex on Park Avenue could be having in all these guys who were saying, ‘We will take everything away from you if we get the chance,’ which is what their program spelled out, was the funniest thing I had ever witnessed.

By the time of the 1972 presidential campaign, the ultra far-left anti-American politics that Wolfe observed in miniature in the Bernstein’s duplex would come to dominate the Democratic Party–to varying degrees, right up to the present day. As I wrote last month, that was the year where the wheels really came off the Democratic Party:

Radical chic and punitive liberalism became the norm, to the point where McGovern compared Ho Chi Minh to George Washington in a Playboy interview, and his aides took to wearing upside down flag pins on their lapels.This was a very different Democratic party from the New Frontier of JFK and LBJ’s Great Society which, while it was a little too big government for me (particularly as it ballooned under LBJ), had lots of redeeming qualities: they were patriotic; believed in strong defense at home and trying to spread democracy abroad; had a vigorous space program; and at least with JFK, were willing to cut taxes.

The election this past November may have been a watershed–the year that radical chic finally began to die. President Bush defeated a man who made first made his mark on the American stage in 1971 with a radical chic gesture of his own: as a Navy reserve officer excoriating US troops serving abroad, in front of the US Senate’s Committee on Foreign Relations.This is an extraordinary moment for the Democratic Party.

…Which, at least temporarily, they’ve weathered in a fashion as cool and crisp as one of Bernstein’s dry Martinis.

    The take over of the old Democratic party by the new left, and the exploits of the new left in the 60s and 70s is something anyone younger than 40 has no recollection of. Tom Wolfe and David Horowitz are about the only sources for any insight into those times, thanks to the monolithic left media.

    • Jake Was Here

      I don’t quite agree with that. Anyone wanting insight into the mindset that took over the Democrats in the Seventies is encouraged to read Hunter Thompson’s FEAR AND LOATHING ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. Even for a conservative, it’s a fascinating read, a privileged glimpse into how the Left thinks.

  2. 2. Robbins Mitchell

    The boy is letting his mouth write checks that his ass can’t cash.

    • Talnik

      I gotta hand it to you. That’s really…interestingly phrased.

    • Scottie Rasberry

      This is my new favorite quote.

  3. 3. David Thomson

    One more point perhaps should be added regarding the 1972 presidential election: Democrats learned the hard way that they often had to hide their leftism. George McGovern’s blatant “let it all hang out” left-wing campaign proved to be disastrous. Richard Nixon slaughtered him on Election Day. The teachings of Saul Alinsky were immediately afterwards taken much more seriously. It behooved Democratic Party candidates to be subtle, if not even outright deceitful, when running in purple and red state districts. They made sure to market themselves as moderates.

    Jimmy Carter portrayed himself as somewhat conservative politically and even religious in the traditional sense. Many conservatives voted for the con jobbing peanut farming from Georgia. I well remember later talking to a number of them who felt betrayed. Bill Clinton and Al Gore read from the same playbook. Barack Obama, needless to add, also did everything possible to project a phony moderate image.

    • David Stein

      Are we talking abot the Richard Nixon who obstructed justice

      • CGW

        David Stein:

        I think the answer to your question is yes. That’s because all politicians are corrupt and the highest political achievers are corrupt absolutely. Fifty years of history, one exception. Sad, but true.

      • MarkTheGreat

        This coming from the guy who defends Obama/Holder in the New Black Panther case?

      • MarkTheGreat

        The only difference between Nixon and the Democrats that preceeded and followed him was that Nixon did not have a congress of the same party.

        The stuff Nixon was accused of doing was nothing compared to what the Democrats routinely did, and still do.

      • johnt

        david stein, no David we’re talking about the Richard Nixon who owned the ice cream store on 70th st.
        However if you want to talk about the Bill Clinton who raped a woman in an Arkansas hotel I’ll find some time for you. It wasn’t anybody in your family was it?
        And if you want to explain just how bringing up some other issue is an answer to the issue at hand, I’d love to hear it. Unless of course you realize that you don’t have an answer and are just being a naughty, not to bright, little boy. For shame little boy.

      • Akatsukami

        Yep, that very same Nixon. Who, when people were given a choice between him and George “Business is hard!” McGovern, was re-elected by a landslide.

  4. 4. tc

    The illegal and racist actions of this person has been condoned by Eric Holder, Mr. Obama’s proxy. This is a heinous violation of liberty and cannot stand. This man should be in jail for threatening voters in front of that polling place, yet there are federal officials that avert their eyes and give tacit acceptance for his activities. They too are guilty and shall receive justice. This Shabazz guy is allowed to run free to serve as a tipping point for actions that those in power want to happen–

  5. 5. Mike

    These are the friends of that fake Obama and Holder?

    Sounds like they want civil war.

    Be careful what you wish for. You may get it.

    • No más

      Civil war? Yes..exactly!!…it would appear that is where we are being pushed.

      Some type of war fare, internal strife, race etc inside our country.. then martial law..then president for life.
      ..well, okay, it might not go that far.
      HOwever, Americans in general seem to be a surprisingly docile group unless the cost of coffee or such goes up.
      This is a grand country, no other place like it..i sincerely hope it can get back to “normal”..and we rid ourselves of Obama and are able to reverse the crap he has foisted on us.
      At this point, I’m bettin’ Obama goes back into office in 2012…
      NO CRACKER KILLIN’!!!!

      • kb

        Hmm. It seems that more of us are noticing that racial warfare, outright revolution and civil war are being promulgated by an radical racist administration the likes of which we have NEVER seen in this country.

      • PhillipGaley

        “Americans in general seem to be a surprisingly docile group unless the cost of coffee or such goes up.”?
        Well yes, doing as they do—they like to go to work every day—what’s more important, some kook on some street, somewhere, raving about something, or, the price of coffee? Now, in those terms, you’re able to understand that—aren’t you?
        As far as your expression of Obama’s 2nd term may be of interest, although I’m conservative in a solid conservative state—Ok—yeah, I think that, things are headed in that direction; but then, what if he immediately passes from office as a martyr, and Biden begins to rule in endless tongue-lashing—how wouldn’t that spoil a nice cup of coffee?

  6. 6. Is something wrong..?

    What is the problem..?

    Obama and this Black Panther are like two peas inside a pod. Both hate white people, Jews and America.

    Both use brass knuckles, physical intimidation, street gangs and violence to get what they want.

    Both believe that they are justified in doing what they are.

    Both use a microphone to make sure that they are the center of attention.

    Both rely on the ignorance of the crowd.

    One is just a little bit smoother talking than the other. He is the one that the American people said that they wanted more than anything else in the world.

    They got him.

    Again I ask, what is the problem..?

    • no mas

      Americans got hate and subversion disguised as “hope and change”.

      Everyone is at each others throats these days
      And, maybe this is what Obama and his handler wanted after all, and we have so willingly obliged…

      I still have not figured out how so many people could have been fooled by this man..it boggles the mind.
      If you owned a business would you EVER hire someone that you knew nothing about???? OMG this man was heralded as the second coming of Christ..puke.
      I can understand why people like ACORN and the new black panthers feel so empowered!!!
      Again we are jumping at something we do know little of in the AZ law about immigration. It’s merely votes for Dems that the Dems are worried about..not if the people are mistreated. Again…that hope and change thing in action with obama.

  7. 7. Ruebacca

    Right here right now we see the ideology of the killing fields. Get ready for year zero.

  8. 8. justasimplepatriot

    Can you say Adminfestation?

  9. 9. gordo12

    No hate speech in this video.

    Oh well, this is change. I only hope people begin to open their eyes.

  10. 10. tehag

    I’m sure when Robert Byrd and his allies were occupied the state and federal government, they protected their militant wing: the KKK. Now that the Democrat party has full control of the federal government again, just as it has in the past, it will protect its militant wing, which includes the New Black Panthers. No sense mentioning any other groups: we all know who they are, and they are too numerous to list.

  11. 11. Jane Doe

    OK, Why is this video not being used to file charges on this scum. He is making terroristic threats about targeting for murder white people and their babies. This is also an inciting violence and hate based crimes charge. Use this video immediately to file charges on this scum. I’ll tell you if I were there he would have had the surprise of his miserable racist life.

  12. 12. Indigo

    When is Mr. Driscoll going to apologize for his calumny against Mel Gibson? He takes a discredited site and repeats it’s slur and nothing from Mr. Driscoll.Slime is slime whether it’s on the left or right.

  13. 13. Forgotten Man

    Lets let the Black Panthers fight the KKK then we only have to kill the winner. One thing worse than a professional victim is a criminal and these butt wipes seem to be both.

  14. 14. hoponpop

    I’ll go out on a limb here; this guy was raised on the taxpayer’s dime, and we the taxpayers are currently feeding his illegimate children (by three or more baby mommas)…

  15. 15. GDT

    You know guys – the thing that concerns me about this whole mess is that is it just not smart (from the perspective of the Holder justice department). Over the top, in your face, video evidence cases like this could have been used as cover. If I were Holder and if I had his adjenda (big ifs here folks) I would give the other side a couple of bones – let ‘em have the grossly obvious ones to show I was doing my job. This situation seems to be tailor made for that purpose – video evidence AND summary judgment of guilty because the purps didn’t bother to show up to the hearing.

    Even given the Obama – Holder adjenda why pick this case to make a stand? This isn’t just Orwellian – this is over the top in your face impossible to avoid Orwellian. Look at the specifics: Justice isn’t saying that the evidence was flawed, that there could have been mistaken identities or some other procedural issue was violated. Justice is saying “So there was a Black Panther in para-military garb carrying a night-stick patrolling a polling place – what is wrong with that?” This is enough to make true believers begin to taste something funny in their Kool-Aid.

    So why? Why make a stand with this case? An even if they decided to make a stand with this case, why not do it based on some technicality? Why the Orwellian “Nothing to see here – move along” in the face of video documentation, a summary judgment and an easy to research history on the purp? Even from Holder-Obama’s perspective this is not smart, intentionally suicidal or something is going on that we have not yet discussed.

    • pelaut

      “…or something is going on that we have not yet discussed.”

      You bet there is, but I’ve mentioned it since last winter. To wit:

      Obama needs to orchestrate his cold race war into a hot one in order to get the bolshis on the streets before this election. He’s making this a “long hot summer”.

    • It doesn’t seem a smart thing to do because you are thinking in terms of politics.
      The internationalist subversives think in terms of war.
      What they are interested in is the amount of chaos, disorder, and ultimately violence that they can spur.
      Everything in the mind of a subversive is a devilish fight: rich against poor, race against race, government against free markets etc. etc. (and the list is very long).
      The winner of ALL this fights is always one: CHAOS.
      Chaos and disorder, economy in troubles, these are the goals of the subversives.
      From ANY level of chaos that they can cause they plan for the NEXT level of chaos.
      America has never seen this happening INSIDE its borders, and must learn how to fight this strategy without playing in the hands of the chaos-planners.

      We must preach peace and law, One Nation under God.

    • blotto

      GDT: They do it because they can get away with it. Look at how brazen the progressives and Dems have gotten over the last 18 months. They know the MSM will cover for them. They know that the O is fully behind every bad thing that is happening to us and to this wonderful nation.

      Call it the arrogance of power.

      This is why this will not end well for our nation. As has been already alluded to, some kind of civil war is looming. Or secession. But the left and racist blacks/NBPP/Islamists/progressives will never give up their aspirations of destroying America.

  16. 16. steve

    Why isn’t this man in prison. He was openly making death threats to kill white people and their babies.

    Where is Philadelphia’s black mayor Michael Nutter? Where is talk radio? You know our “brave conservative ” talk show hosts? I’ll tell you where, cowering under their beds in fear of black racists. According to the FBI, black on white rapes numbered 14,000 while white on black rapes are virtually non existent. Yet all we remember is the Duke lacrosse team. Furtermore, blacks commit 50X the amount of crimes against whites as opposed to any other group. Yet it is illegal in Philadelphia and most other places to file a hate crime by a white against a black or charge them with racial discrimination. Where’s the media and again talk radio ? There’s a heck of a lot more to this black racism against white people than the Black Panther case.

    We not only have institutionalized racism against white working and middle class people in government, academia, corporate America, and the justice system but also open threats to kill us and our children and nobody gives a damn. Someone should have beaten this dirtbag to a pulp. What is wrong with us?

    • David Stein

      It was the job of the white DA, Lynn Abraham to take action, not the Mayor Nutter. Anyone who recalls Abrahm knows that she operates as an independent and does not answer to the mayor.

      • ..is this the same David Stein who trolls around scribbling non sequiturs?

          Please stay on topic. i know how hard it is to read oppsing opinions

          • MarkTheGreat

            Is this the same David Stein who has introduced at least three non-relevant posts to this thread already?

          • Mr. Lucky

            This is the Stein Way. Or shall it be said, a Modern Liberals at it’s best.

            Notice the similarities to miriam rove?

            Lowercase usage, short semi-topical riffs, with intentional misspellings, poor grammar, mid-east origin and lack of any continuity other than getting attention. And this from a supposed IDF vet. Draw your own conclusions.

            Look at PJM in general. Has there been a noticeable increase in contrary posts lately? Hmmmm….

          • I can’t speak for the rest of the PJM site, but at least on this blog, “David” has been given a time out.

          • "David" Stein

            You’re oppressing me!!!

          • 2texans

            David – send your complaint to the DOJ…

          • Will it make any difference if he does complain to the DOJ?

            Somehow, if the Obama administration doesn’t care that the majority of Americans didn’t want health care reform and Americans are in support of Arizona’s illegal immigration law but there is a lawsuit against it anyway, something tells me the DOJ won’t care what we think about it dropping the case against the New Black Panthers.

          • Facts, reason and logic – kryptonite to those of Davids ilk. None – and I mean NONE – of their premises can survive a first-principles argument. Try this one out on one of them the next time they open their ignorant yawp:

            “To whom does your life belong?”

            All else proceeds from the answer to that question. And none of it is to their advantage.

      • steve

        Yes, David, Ms. Abraham is a leftist Jewish women who is Phildelphia’s DA. So where was the black mayor Nutter while Philedlphia’s election process has completely crumbled into a toilet of corruption fraud, and intimidation? If they were white would you still exonerate the incompetent Nutter and his racism? I doubt it. Go back and crawl into you little hole.

        Obama should be impeached for this fiasco and no David, he is not Philadelphia’s DA.

    • mememe

      HEY!!! time to get out the white sheets!!
      ..oh wait…that’s the Democrats KKK invention
      ..what do conservatives/independents do????, we don’t have anything like “crackers” , or “white sheets” or …

  17. 17. Savvy Cowboy

    If writing your Congressional representatives doesn’t work to stop this, then voting for good Conservative candidates may be our only hope in a last ditch effort. These boys are more than welcome to come on out to the “home on the range” to discuss their “Cracker” hatred; they’ll even be served a fine meal.

  18. 18. Adina Kutnicki, Israel

    I cannot imagine that the racist, Black, separatist thugs from the Panthers would dare to utter their threats anywhere in proximity to ‘good, ole boys’. While they can intimidate the gutless, progressive ‘crackers’ on the addled east and west coasts, they would be strung up on lightposts if they tried it in the south, or mid America.
    My take has always been – forewarned IS forearmed. If they tried such a stunt where I used to live in the US, suffice it to say, their baseball bats would not have protected them, they would have scurried away like the racist cowards that they are. Hint:It pays to be friends with people who don’t cower in the face of thuggish brutes!

    • RICHARD S.

      Adina, well, I’m one of the “crackers” the Black Panther in the video wants to kill and to kill our babies. I’m a deep south “cracker” but not like the dumb rednecks they put on t.v. when they attempt to show ignorance in the deep south. I’m intelligent, well read and politically astute. I can assure the “Panther” in the video that we are well prepared to defend fellow crackers and our babies from ANY type of violence that these thugs try to perpetrate against us. We know how to grow our own food, take animals for sustenance and are well armed to protect our neighbors and friends. We do not need the comforts of life, welfare checks or Tokay wine to live a productive life. We abhor violence but are skilled in the art of survival. We’re not part of militias or survivalist groups but just God-fearing, respectful southern county boys. We will NOT be intimidated by any idle threats from any racist group such as the New Black Panthers.

    • rvastar

      And who was it that killed 100+ million people over the past century in the name of political ideology? Oh yeah…”leftists”…like this scumbag – and you.

      See how that works, moron?

      • David Stein

        Please don’t put Stalin and Mao in the same catagoy of moderate lefts and i will not place Hitler in the same catagory as moderate right wingers. Yes, i do see how it works

        • “Please don’t put Stalin and Mao in the same catagoy [sic] of moderate lefts and i will not place Hitler in the same catagory [sic] as moderate right wingers.”

          That seems fair — I wouldn’t do that, either.

        • MarkTheGreat

          The only difference between the so called moderate left and the communists, is how fast they want to get to the killing fields.

          As to Hitler and Mussolini, fascism is a form of socialism, so you own them, not us.

        • Forgotten Man

          OK but Hitler was a National Socialist.

        • GDT

          Excuse me “David” or whoever – point of order. Hitler was a hard core LEFT winger. Nazi = National Socialist Party. You are going to have to look harder if you want to come up with an analogous “Right Wing Tyrant”.

        • rvastar

          Please don’t put Stalin and Mao in the same catagoy of moderate lefts…

          I don’t. I put you so-called “moderate lefts” in the same category as the Walter Duanty’s of the world – namely, intellectually dishonest “useful idiots”…moral cowards who are incapable of admitting wrong doing by your ideological compatriots because to do so is too stressful to your fragile self-image. You excuse away everything – even as the transgressions of the more hard-core statists like Obama and Holder become ever-more brazen – and by so doing, illustrate that you’re capable of excusing away even more.

          Where – exactly – is it that “moderate lefts” like you are willing to draw a line?

          History shows us that the answer is generally “nowhere”.

          • It is one of the great ironies of history that useful idiots like Stein here are usually the first get their ’9 grams’ in the back of the neck in some dank basement delivered by the regimes they help to put into place. But don’t take My word for it. Look up Yuri Bezmenov’s interview on Youtube.

            The joke’s on you, David. Trouble is, if history’s any indicator, you won’t survive it.

        • Excuse me, kapo-boy. Allow me to step in with a bit of inconvenient history – from the horses mouth, so to speak:

          “The Party is all-embracing. It rules our lives in all their breadth and depth. We must therefore develop branches of the Party in which the whole of individual life will be reflected. Each activity and each need of the individual will thereby be regulated by the Party as the representative of the general good. There will be no license, no free space, in which the individual belongs to himself. This is Socialism – not such trifles as the private means of production. Of what importance is that if I range men firmly within a discipline they cannot escape? Let them own land or factories as much as they please. The decisive factor is that the State, through the Party, is supreme over them, regardless whether they are owners or workers. All that, you see, is unessential. Our Socialism goes far deeper…”

          “The people about us are unaware of what is really happening to them. The gaze fascinated at one or two superficialities, such as possessions and income or rank and other outworn conceptions. As long as these are kept intact, they are quite satisfied. But in the meantime, they have entered a new relation; a powerful social force has caught them up. They themselves are changed. What are ownership and income to that? Why need we trouble to socialize banks and factories? We socialize human beings.”
          Adolph Hitler – Rauschning, The Voice of Destruction pp 191-193

          You leftards love to toss those Nazi=right-winger bombs. For you, it’s a dud when you try it around adults who know their history.

        • Frank

          Sorry, Steiny, Hitler was one of yours, not ours. Hitler was for smoking bans and universal health care. Not exactly “right wing” policies.

          And of course the leftists will wail “but he was a militarist!”. Yeah, and Stalin, Mao and Castro aren’t? Militarism is not exclusive to the left or the right, but in the 20th century, state sanctioned genocide was.

    • GDT

      Yes David, Miriam or whatever pseudonym this particular troll is using today. That white guy was tried, convicted and executed. He is taking the big dirt nap as we speak. That is what is supposed to happen.

      We are not worried about the Black Panthers. You are right – they are a marginal 60s anachronism. This is not about the Panthers. This is about the US Justice Department. This is about the practice of excusing absolutely anything as long as one is on the “correct” side of the political fence.

      • David Stein

        I saw the coverage and it was much ado about nothing,. There was no voter registered at that polling station intimidated. yes, the police should have come and moved them from teh spot. It was one polling station in a nearly 100% Black neighborhood. I’m sure millions of dollars persuing tyis minor incident would be considered money well spent.

        • MarkTheGreat

          So as long as nobody is willing to step forward and say they feel threatened, threatened by these men who still live in that neighborhood, then there was no foul?

          The fact that there is sworn testimony by voters stating that they didn’t vote because they felt threatened is of course none of your concern.

        • Forgotten Man

          Would it be OK for the KKK do to the same thing in a “predominately” white neighborhood?
          If not then these morons should have also been arrested or at least run off.

        • Ouch

        Debating DS (Peace, dude) is useless. He is a child. He is allowed to cause trouble because he is a protected class. He is allowed to say things because of anonimity. He is allowed to post unintelligible drivel because our military has given him the freedoms to do so. He is allowed to be a pain in the ass because his views of the world are never criticized by the MSM and academia so he believes HE is right.

      This is a variation on Obama’s, Bush did it first defense.

      As always, David can’t defend the actions of his own, so he tries to change the subject.

    • steve

      Timothy McVeigh was backed by and was front for Muslims. That is why he was executed so quicly while Mumia Adul Jabal still waits for his pardon from te black racist, Barack Obama. BTW none of this exonerates McVeigh.

      David seems to hate white people too, especially Christian white people.

      • carol b.

        He hates whites and America. Seems he wants to take over…what will he do without whitie to pay his bills.
        ..resentment of not having people give you everything they have worked hard for..runs deep

    • Dr. Dave

      How is it that the New Black Panthers are “marginal”? Timothy McVeigh worked with just a small number of extremist whack jobs. There are far more New Black Panthers than there are (or were) Timothy McVeighs.

      Oh…and Hitler belongs on the Left not the Right. The Nazis were socialists…fascists, to be sure…but socialists none the less.

      Bud- You have simply and cleanly re-enforced the fact that liberals are racists. You claim it is perfectly okay for Blacks to terrorize other blacks. Nice call.

    While no one has ever been charged, Black Panthers had the motive for the death of Betty Van Patter, who had been their bookeeper. At the recommendation of David Horowitz, the Black Panthers hired Betty Van Patter for some bookkeeping. After Betty Van Patter discovered some irregularities in Panthers’ books, she disappeared in December 1974. Her body was found in San Francisco Bay a month later. While no one was ever charged with the murder, from the beginning David Horowitz suspected the Panthers. Betty’s daughter, Tamara Baltar, didn’t initially suspect the Panthers, but after a decade of investigation she also came to the conclusion that one of the Panthers had murdered her mother. (Correction in Horowitz’s article: Tamara/Tammy Baltar was the offspring of Betty Van Patter’s first marriage, and never assumed the surname of Van Patter.)

    Organize and polarize. Stoke hatred. Promote chaos.

    Once achieved, absolve and pardon those who perpetrate thuggery on your behalf and call for “justice”, i.e. revenge, against those who oppose you (that’s where a “civilian national security force” would come in handy — one “working for the clampdown”, to quote a phrase). Toss out a few platitudes about “healing” while simultaneously tightening your grip.

    Repeat as necessary.

    This is basically what the “white” groups has been warning our country for decades..But they have always been demonized. Guess what…. they were right. Now we are going to have to fight for our lives, our families , our freedom. Bring out the starch….I got to iron a sheet.

    • Eli

      Intereating. fight idiotic behavior with idiotic behavior. You go ahead and iron those sheets and become exactly what you hate. Dr. King’s methods are needed here, not violence. Fighting fire with fire just burns everything up. Think people, it takes two to tango as the cliche goes.

      • blotto

        What do you propose to do then, Eli?? If your rights and freedoms are at stake are you going to just turn the other cheek? Do you think you can reason with them? Come to a compromise? Or will you fight? Or will you expect someone else to fight for you so you can maintain your effete status?

        We have been too patient with black racism but also with white progressivism.

        “It is better to die on one’s feet than live on one’s knees.”

        • Eli

          Blotto, I’m not sure you will even want to hear what I have to say. If hour are to the point that you think it is a good idea to get the white sheet, you are beyond reason. I meet hate with love. Don’t get me wrong, if you want to mess with me personally, I’ll take you out. But i will never say it is a good idea to target all people from a group because some inthat group are idiots. Malcolm X understood this too late in life and as a result he will be more known for calling people who happen to be white devils. It does not matter that he had a change of heart at the end of his life because the damage was done. I suggest sane people, allow think rationally and work to unite with like minded people as opposed to blindly condemning all of a particular group based on an assumption.

    • Bilgeman

      Al…before you go waste two perfectly good 2×4′s and a valuable gallon of gasoline, could you spare a minute?

      You DO understand that you are being provoked by the Alleged Hawaiian and his creature Eric Holder into precisely the kind of reaction that you are contemplating here.

      One stupid move, and the Puddin’head Of The United States has his “Reichstag Fire”, and can then turn his Afro-Himmler/Holder loose on the public…cheered on by his captive moonbat livestock in the press and academia and in the government-run health-care system.

      Leave the likes of Shabazz and the NBPP be. They will be dealt with by those of their own color when those folks contemplate exactly what Malik Shabazz’s antics will cost their own children.

      Or maybe they won’t, and they will simply again agree to foot the bill for these clowns’ hatred.

      They took it up the keester for half a generation for the sake of Rodney King and OJ Simpson, didn’t they?

  25. 25. Morton Doodslag

    How prevalent are these attitudes among blacks in America? In the aftermath of Rev. Wright, with Holder protecting an apparently important voting block as represented by these POS Black Panthers, it is a question which begs for answer immediately.

    • Rob Crawford

      “How prevalent are these attitudes among blacks in America?”

      The NAACP apparently petitioned Holder to have these charges dropped. The president who clearly approves of this travesty has an approval rating in the 90-95% range among blacks.

      You do the math.

      • mememe

        Does this mean blacks have no mind of their own, don’t know the facts or are too dependent on the government?
        Democrats have created a subclass of slaves with welfare, affirmative action etc A kind of “jim Crow” is actually alive and well right here in River City.
        Race war? yeah..

    • Delia

      Mort, I think the reaction of blacks to the O.J. verdict might have been a warning clue. Also, that only a majority of blacks still seem to be supporting Barry even though he has proven himself to be the absolute DUD most of us SANE-minded, WELL-informed people of ALL shades of melanin saw him for.

      Let me guess, a majority of blacks are only supporting Odoofus in high numbers with all his flat-out FAILURES because he’s a ‘DEM’ *cough-cough* and not because of his ‘shade’. Right. If this were a [totally] white ‘DEM’, those same blacks would have seen the truth the rest of us are seeing without a problem but, they are blinded by race. If that isn’t race-based preferential treatment then I dunno what is? :\

      • TriGeek

        Then again all my white “intellectual” friends out here in Hawaii continue to think Obama is the bees knees. No amount of screw-ups seem to change their minds. They are just so cool and post-racial, don’t you know?

    It is time (while we still have a conservative majority on SCOTUS) to form Citizen Grand Juries in our local counties and indict BHO & his co-conspirators in our State Courts for crimes committed by his campaign in 2007 & 2008.

    Newsmax.com recently reported:

    “One thing appears certain: Supreme Court Justice John Roberts isn’t likely to back down to Obama. Roberts reportedly still is angry over President Obama’s decision to use the State of the Union address to scold the justices for their Citizens United v. FEC ruling, which rejected limitations on corporate and nonprofit electioneering.

    When Obama said during the State of the Union address that the ruling would “open the floodgates” to donations by foreign companies and other special interests to influence U.S. elections, Justice Samuel Alito mouthed the words “Not true.”

    The president’s decision to use his bully pulpit to frame the ruling’s political impact incorrectly may have caused lasting damage to his relationship with the judiciary. The Los Angeles Times reported on Tuesday that “Chief Justice John Roberts Jr. is still angered by what he saw as a highly partisan insult to the independent judiciary.”

    The Los Angeles Times reported Monday that a number of legal scholars now consider a clash between the expansive pro-government plans of the Obama administration and the Roberts court to be inevitable.”

    The Black Panthers will no doubt be at the polls, come November. We need to have people at the polls with video recorders, recording their every move. Some of you good samaritans need to do that. I will be doing it in my city.

      good idea!!…we’ll see what we can do here.

        Great mememe! We have a group of 6 people, to take 1 hour shifts at a time. You may want to do that because the polls are open for about 12 hours.

    WTF? If that “Cracker! Cracker! Cracker!” crap isn’t racist (“I hate white people! All of them! Every last iota of a cracker, I hate him!” says Samir Shabazz) then I don’t know what is. That incident outside the polling station was blatant. But they get a pass for from higher-ups at DoJ in violation of Rule of Law and the 14th Amendment. Black racists are still racists.

    hello. radical extremism rewarded for stirring chaos, and deserving head banging: seems to be the thread. i read talking points repeated for information (to benefit the opposition), and some just do not contribute to the agenda. a video of this incident was broadcast across the state of Pennsylvania on the night of voting. there was a chilling media expose of the incident, implanting fear in the minds of people whom had not yet exercised their right to vote. i saw it in Pittsburgh. the infotainment media had crossed a line of voter manipulation on the dinnertime news. many elderly all across the state were afraid to go vote. they are regular voters. the infotainment media was used as a malicious political tool for personal gain. no news here. everybody move along now. move on reformers, spend a little tax on me.

  34. 35. Keith

    We HAVE TO get away from these liberals. They will continue to take the country apart one piece at a time. They have no concept of objectivity, are suspicious of the lessons of the Enlightenment, and do not have the capacity to understand the scientific method.

    And they never will.

    If we peacefully divide the country, they could create their own la-la-land and conservatives/libertarians can can produce our own. We are the most mobile society in the world. We move. This is what we do. But this time, Western Civilization depends on it.

  35. 36. sallie

    wow…it seems the only problem blacks in America have is the white guy…so, i think the blacks should go back to the continent that their people sold them into slavery from…

    there is a black and a white Israel?? I thought a Jew was a Jew was a Jew..like a rose …b any other name is still a rose.. ‘course the guys only hate the white side of the Jew stuff..duh..stupidity x 1000 as usual. Of course it’s okay to whore out their women in the rap videos they’re all so proud of.

    I think the boys in the videos that I watched need to go live where they can appreciate things more..like where ever they came from to begin with..ahla Helen Thomas..

    The YouTube stuff, I should not have watched them…

    I just love this radical Prez with all of his radical racist buddies!! I heard King Shit head say that he would like to bring his friend Ruger. Well. maybe he would like to meet my friends also. They all like to suck off of the govt & then blame us for forcing them to take welfare & food stamps. How does Africa treat their own people??? I live in the Midwest, where he hang on to our guns & religion. Got that right!! Never can buy too much ammo!! Obama sues one of own states under the premise that is will create profiling, but in the suit,profiling isn’t even mentioned. Then Him & Holder turns around and lets the black panthers go even when they are caught on tape intimidating voters!!! Who is trying to divide this country more than it already is?? I have to go clean my guns now!!! Go Az, Go away Obama!!

  37. I wrote about this too.

    What gets me is that the Justice Department dropped the case. Why? It seems as if there are only certain forms of acceptable racism that the Justice Department doesn’t mind.

  38. My fingers are too darn fast.

    I wanted to mention that this was a great column that puts a lot of focus on the New Black Panthers.

    It’s simply amazing that black racists can say something like this though and it’s almost accepted. But if a white person said it, stand back because all hell will break loose.

    When will our society learn that no form of racism is acceptable and we need to give equal attention to it.

    Go to work, love your families, and live your lives.

    Embrace your constitutional rights. Take heed of your responsibility as a citizen to become familiar with the 2nd Amendment. Keep it fed and watered, and safely tucked away, and pray to God that the only exercise it gets is at the range.

    This is not tin-foil hat talk, this is simply realizing that only you can be responsible for your continued perambulations on this side of the dirt. Those societies who either did not enjoy such a liberty or had it taken away from them fill the abattoirs of history.

    Great article Ed. Keep publishing the Truth. A quote from another guy (Attaturk) on another blog goes “the Truth is slow, but bulls**t travels at the speed of sound’
    I find it quite amazing that the loudest anti american, racist revolutionaries get the coverage as having a ’cause’ worth fighting for while those that advocate the restoration of freedom for all, liberty for all, justice for all, are accused of hate speech and make the DHS list of extremists.
    For those who ‘hate every iota of a cracker’, there are places to go where ‘crackers’ never tread. Be they white, red, brown or black (substitute slur for) ‘crackers’.

    And for Gordon who said “Go to work, love your families, and live your lives.”
    If you live that way, it’s your choice. GW told us that on 9-11. …we will take the fight to them. Go on about your lives… or some such nonsense. The reason we WON WWII was a call for EVERY AMERICAN to BE INVOLVED in the war effort, produce, manufacture, buy bonds etc. Not so much so in Korea and Vietnam. We must be involved at any level we can and demand those at the highest level to affect freedom, restore it or get thrown out, replaced by them that will.

    Don’t relax and rely on your 2nd ammendment rights. They only help you in protecting your lives and property. You run out into the public to stand against tyranny and/or the revolutionary, you will probably be shot dead by a cop or an anarchist… and you don’t get to choose.

    The NBPP is bent on creating racial segregation across America. They’ve stated as much that they want a race war with blacks being victorious.

    Many of the spontaneous civil demonstrations in the past 20 years have actually been well planned and orchestrated actions by groups like ACORN, SEIU, La Raza and now NBPP:

    Of course, the recent condemnation by the NAACP and Michelle Obama of the Tea Party as rascist is just more pre-emptive finger pointing by those that really have a race problem.

  51. 52. Bill

    I agree that the wheels started coming off the Democratic party with the nomination of McGovern in 1972. But even though McGovern was way to the left, he couldn’t stomach the idea of unions eliminating workers’ rights to a secret ballot. But President Obama could, and would willingly promote it. He also (while a Senator) voted against life saving procedure being done on a baby that survives the partial birth abortion procedure. That tells you all you need to know about President Obama.
