FOX news was interviewing a guy dressed like a black panther, apparently "scaring people" into voting.

I fucking hate FOX

Well, considering how much reason white folks have given anyone of color to freak the fuck out over the past,oh, 232 years...

Nope - Charles is telling the truth. I'd post the link, but the SPAM filter is blocking the link.

Hey guys, check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neGbKHyGuHU as much as I hate to side with fox news on this one, if these guys were white, the stranger staff would be shitting there pants and this would be all over the liberal blogs. Fact is these assholes are aggressive and intimidating and they shouldn't be doing what they are doing.

Is there some last minute Black Panthers controversy I don't know about? Did Obama pal around with Fred Hampton when he was four?

That's hysterical. Hope they all die from fear.

@8 Uh... Yeah. Black Panther's are "providing security" at polling places in Philly...

@11 not the fox news coverage might be ridiculous but the initial video posted by someone claiming to be a student (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neGbKHyGuHU ) clearly shows these assholes have weapons and are standing in the front of a polling place. That type of intimidating behavior is bullshit, end of story, I don't care who they back as far as candidates are concerned.

@7 They're just a couple of nuts who showed up at a polling location. I'm sure there's other nuts out there today causing disturbances at polling places that aren't being posted on YouTube by paranoid college students.

@13,

You might try suicide - but preferably not from the Aurora Bridge and/or Red Square where you might inconvenience or traumatize others.

@18 I agree, but that doesn't make it right. Additionally, it does help explain the number of search hits being seen for "Black Panthers".

Hi-LARIOUS.

Just checked it out and searches for "SHAWN Hannity" (#28) outpace "SEAN Hannity"(#38).
