From Bullying Gays to Gays who bully...

[TicklinGuy]

A while back, a coupla' (Literally. ...two.) guys stood in front of a polling station in Philadelphia. One of 'em had a night stick. They never stopped anyone from going in, but they were perceived accurately as being potentially intimidating, and they were removed by Philly police. End of story? No. The right wing media spun this into a national wave of The New Black Panther Party that was threatening democracy everywhere. Those two guys do get around, don't they?

Though this is somewhat off-topic, it is also somewhat inaccurate. The pair didn't just stand there silently; they verbally accosted voters. They weren't just "perceived" as intimidating; they were. And while you may believe the news was "spun" on the right, at least they covered it; the left-wing media virtually ignored the story. Also, the news was not about the re-emergence of the Black Panther party (which did become an issue several times over the next 1.5 years, like when they verbally threatened Glenn Beck and his rally), but about the DOJ's selective refusal to investigate the incident.

It is off-topic. Repost in P&R and I'll respond when I have time to waste.

If it's off topic then why did you bring it up in the first place?
