Sorry, from your previous posts on the thread, it looked like you didn't mind the Panthers being there.



When did I say that?



What does this have to have to do with anything in the OP? The Libertarian argument against the 1964 Civil Rights Act is based on property rights not racism.

Clearly a communication breakdown.. appology accepted.
 
Moderator's Warning:
Everyone needs to get back on track.

This thread is about the New Black panther's and the alledged voter intimidation. Making some sort of analogy to the Tea Party or libertarians is one thing. Going off on repeated tangents just ranting against them while attempting to extremely loosely tie it together is not. Its derailing. If you want to focus more on that, start another thread.

Members should not tell other posters to "STFU".

Refrain from calling other members racists.

Stop the personal attacks, stop the baiting, and get back on topic

Look.. if I was a black I would be scared of the libertarians getting in office.

EDIT: In other words I sympathise with the black panthers being sick of white supremacy.

Black Panthers are intimidating even without a weapon. Just standing around menacingly with their black berets, black clothes, and jack boots is intimidating.

Especially when you know what their leaders stand for (killing white people).

No it isn't. Libertarianism is a political philosophy that is open to be shot down and called out for what it is. If you don't want racists voting for your candidate then make sure he doesn't give them a reason to vote for him.

Since when did I get control over racists?
 
Voter intimidation is a crime. This was blatant intimidation.
Wasn't this law passed because of the KKK showing up at voting booths in hoods and carrying nooses and the like?.
These thugs with their batons, uniforms, and spewing racial slurs such as "crackers" is no different.
This administration (Eric Holder) for example is causing a greater divide by refusing to let this case go forward. I'm beginning to think there is an all out assault on white people. This president and adm. seems to be the great divider rather than the uniter like we thout it would be.

You can deny it all you like.. but clearly white racists groups applaud the roll back of the 1964 civil rights act.

That may be true, but I couldn't fault them if they were just standing there. But they had done more than that, and what they did warranted at the very least an investigation. I think to the rest of us, it's clear that it was an act of voter intimidation.

K, you can't answer the question. You're just throwing out your suppositions and assumptions and bigotries against a particular political group. Noted.

My kids took off with my headphones, so I can't listen to it, although I have seen it in the past. I will go off of memory.

They are not charging him because of his little racist song dancy thing. They are trying to charge him because of what happened on that day.
What seems to be continually ignored in the video is that there are white people leaving this area who seem to be completely unaffected by these two men standing there.

Funny also if they were white and carrying guns, they would just be NRA members protecting their second amendment.

I posted the video so you would know that the Black Panthers aren't an innocent group that is simply trying to justly protect blacks. They HATE white people. They want white people to suffer. They want to KILL WHITE BABIES. They're the black KKK.

Umm no .. racism is recurrent at the Tea Party rallies.. and Rand Paul(as do libertarians) supports the roll back of the 1964 civil rights act. Seems that while libertarians are doing it intentionally or unintentionally they are giving whites back their white only lunch counters or whichever other variety of business that would discriminate based on color. The black panthers, I guess, should be voting for the Tea Party. It is ironic isn’t it?

You haven't shown any of that to be based on racism. You're jumping to that conclusion so you can pursue your bigoted opinion. Coincidence, supposition, and assumption are all you have. So in that light, we can return to the topic at hand which has NOTHING to do with the Libertarian party or the Tea Party.

This is a blatant lie. One you won't even attempt to prove.

Actually if you want to be honest, you would ask, those who do, who are libertarians, why do they want to? If it's because of racism, you would not only be completley ignorant, or willfully dishonest, but absolutley clueless as well..


Please do tell....

I guess you should learn what "irony" is.... I guess if you want to lie about the libertarian party and its intentions, I guess your scenario would be irony, but before you try advanced thoughts, perhaps you should work on honesty first.

Why does that even matter? It's clear they were standing in front of a polling place with nightsticks. That's intimidation whether it's gun, nightstick, baseball bat, etc. and no matter what color the person's skin is.

So now I'm a bigot because the libertarians want to give racism a fair chance in society via rolling back the 1964 civil rights act? The black panthers might find support in the Tea Party for having their own black lunch counters? Libertarians call for that law to be changed specifically because of it's effect over private enterprise. They believe that society will just magically ignore racist sentiment and the businesses that engage in white only service will fail. I think libertarians are wrong. There is nothing to stop the black panthers from creating their own black businesses in predominantly black areas under the same pretext. So you have no problem with whites doing it apparently. All on the hypothesis that these businesses will fail, who is making suppositions and assumptions?
