Earlier today, Megyn Kelly of Fox News had Kirsten Powers on to talk about the Justice Department’s handling of the Voter Intimidation case against the New Black Panther Party(NBPP). Specifically, Brad Sherman’s [Democrat representing CA-27], reaction to a constituent question on the subject.
For a bit a background, members of the NBPP committed voter intimidation, one of which is Samir Shabazz. This is not in doubt as injunctions had been put in place. Unfortunately, in a land where Law is no longer king, injunctions can be reversed at the whim of a bureaucrat working to affect his leaders style of change.
The injunctions were reduced or reversed by the direction of AG Holder and the case was put out to pasture. The people, seeking justice, come to their duly elected representative to ask questions and they are met with arrogance clothed in ignorance.
The scene is now set, prepare yourselves for 10 minutes of pure awesome …
I believe they call that a smack down. Yes, I am sure of it.
Now, I wonder where anyone would have gotten the idea to do this sort of stuff.
I do hope that Mark Reed can raise enough money to make this issue stick to Brad Sherman

izoneguy (Diary) Tuesday, July 13th at 6:09PM EST (link)Powers is a very dim bulb. She sticks to the left’s talking points and never has an original thought. She never listens to the question.
The point cannot be made often enough: Modern liberalism, as embodied in the Obama presidency, is the defender of the status quo. And the status quo is a road to economic ruin. Political forces cannot redistribute the wealth that the economic system does not produce.
To the contrary,
Flagstaff (Diary) Tuesday, July 13th at 6:26PM EST (link)Kirsten Powers is an intelligent advocate. She had no case, at least none that stood up against our own lyin’ eyes, so she did what she had to do–she filibustered and dodged and diverted. Kelly was under magnificent self-control to not cut Powers’ mike.
Andrea Tantaros, the “balancing” guest, didn’t get to say much–Kelly chose to smack down Powers herself, which she could do with less acrimony because she was the host.
I observed it live, and was as impressed as everybody else was. The whole thing was proof that you can’t argue with insanity. Kelly’s closing was perfect.
“The press is so powerful in its image-making role that it can make a criminal look like he’s the victim and make the victim look like he’s the criminal. If you aren’t careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”– Malcolm X, Audubon Ballroom, December 13, 1964
I agree
Right_Again (Diary) Tuesday, July 13th at 8:20PM EST (link)Kirsten Powers is usually one of the brighter liberal guests on Fox news shows. She doesn’t always toe the line for the left. However, on this particular show she was channeling Alan Colmes. She had no legitimate argument against what Megyn was saying so she resorted to Alan’s standard bag-o-tricks and played the moral equivalance card. Ineffectively.
What a closing line. A classic.
5555!
Stan Tuesday, July 13th at 9:26PM EST (link)Agree completely. I’ve seen some well-reasoned arguments from Kirsten in the past, but this was awful. Megyn whacked her around pretty good. Kirsten deserved it.

betsyred (Diary) Wednesday, July 14th at 7:37AM EST (link)RINO in Chief, Joe Scarborough ran the clip on his show this morning. As is typical for Joe, he can’t help but stand with the WH on any issue that hints at conservatives demanding the truth and complete transparency. After running the clip, he and his cohorts giggled and jabbed at the entire issue with Joe, himself, saying that he ran it because Americans care about voter intimidation. Of course, he was being his usual sarcastic self. Yesterday they lauded Mrs. Obama’s remarks at the NAACP event. She whipped up the crowd by saying blacks need to intensify efforts. Does Joe think that should include voter intimidation? Joey says after watching the Kelley and Powers video, he’s so glad he’s nestled in the warm embrace of MSNBC with Mika’s WH files on every issue to help guide his thought and show prep. Joe can’t even stand up for Americans when it comes to ensuring our right and privilege of voting is kept pure. Thanks, Joe.
When I first got Dish Network I could hardly wait

Manufactured Outrage
raoul_duke Tuesday, July 13th at 9:47PM EST (link)No one is denying that the NBPP is a hate group. Both the Anti-Defamation League & the Southern Poverty Law Center define them as such. Beyond that, most of the story as reported here and in most conservative media outlets begins to fall apart.
Here’s a few facts for you… a smack-down of another sort. Sorry to trouble the good readers with a brief dose of reality:
1) The civil complaint alleging “voter” intimidation was filed by the Bush Justice Dept. on January 7, 2009.
2) The prosecutor assigned to the case was a one J. Christian Adams, a former Bush Campaign poll watcher, a prosecutor with no previous experience in voting rights or civil rights law but an extensive background in Republican politics & conservative activism. Adams was hired by the DOJ in 2005 by the disgraced & ethically challenged former political appointee Bradley Schlozman
3) The Bush DOJ dropped the case against all defendants except one later that year. At that time, Prosecutor Adams sat on his hands, remaining silent.
4) Last May, Prosecutor Adams resigned in protest, citing primarily that the DOJ had refused to allow him to testify and expressed an unwarranted fear of being held in contempt of court if he did not testify.
5) The Civil Rights Commission held hearings last April on the case(s) of “voter” intimidation.
6) To this date, no, zero, zilch, nada zoters have come forward to formally allege any sort of intimidation.
7) Complaints of voter intimidation at that Philadelphia precinct have come solely from Rebublican poll watchers. Your beloved Megan Kelly described video of the incident occurring that day as having been made by a voter. This is patently false. The video of that incident was made by Stephen Robert Morse, a blogger hired by the local Philly Republican Party on behalf of the McCain Campaign.
9) It was the Bush DOJ that dropped charges against all members of the NBPP, save one.
10) The Obama DOJ successfully obtained a default judgment against Samir Shabazz, a NBPP member, for carrying a nightstick outside the Philly polling place in 2008.
11)The only white “voters” in evidence at this particular polling place throughout that day were local Republican Party poll watchers according to eyewitnesses on the ground that day.
12) Abigail Thernstrom, the Republican vice-chairwoman of the U.S. Commission of Civil Rights, which is currently investigating the DOJ’s decision, has called the investigation “very small potatoes full of “overheated rhetoric filled with insinuations and unsubstantiated charges” and went on the say that it “has not served the interests of the commission”. She has further stated that the DOJ has given “plausible argument” for not pursuing additional charges in the case.
12) Video made by Mr. Morse failed to capture any racial slurs made by anyone. An earlier documentary by National Geographic did capture two NBPP members using derogatory terms against whites.
Tempest in a teapot? Manufactured outrage?
Have a nice day…

Jack_Savage (Diary) Tuesday, July 13th at 9:59PM EST (link)So much time to post, so factually incorrect.
The only thing one really needs to do is watch the video, then understand that the Obama Department of Social Justice dropped the case and downgraded the injunction, as Megan said. The NBPP is a well recognized and documented hate group, and I wish I could say it surprised me to see a lefty defend them. But it doesn’t.
Hate Group yes!
raoul_duke Tuesday, July 13th at 10:22PM EST (link)And, if you had bothered to read the info I posted, that point was stated in the first sentence. NBPP IS a hate group.
That’s not what’s being debated here and elsewhere. I believe the entire focus of the current storm is revolving around the issue of “voter” intimidation at the one Philly polling place in 2008.
So far, the facts just don’t support those allegations, under this admin’s DOJ or the previous.
Hey, but why let a few messy facts get in the way of a good head of steam, right?

It clearly contradicts you.
You said:
“So far, the facts just don’t support those allegations, under this admin’s DOJ or the previous”
From your NRO:
“The Voting Section was not able to make any recommendations to move forward with a lawsuit because the career lawyers assigned to the case could not find any evidence to support the claims being made. … There was no viable case to be “dismissed” by the Bush administration.
Some of the individuals pressing this preposterous comparison are the same militant partisans who masqueraded as career civil servants for many years in the Civil Rights Division but whose true political colors were always on full display.
These individuals are as unworthy of credibility as their absurd allegations.”

The appearance of anyone at a polling place dressed in paramilitary get up and behaving in any way to be construed as menacing is wrong… very wrong. Same for showing up at a town hall meeting strapped, locked & loaded. I’m not defending the NBPP in any way, got it?
It’s the lack of evidence of actual intimidation, as no voters from that day have yet to come forward during any hearing, and the theatrical resignation of Adams, he, too, without any concrete evidence to support his claims that has downgraded this case.

Kirsten Powers is a black apologist and oddly enough wanted to discuss Bush, not Shabazz.

The reason Powers wanted to talk about Bush
njrob Tuesday, July 13th at 7:19PM EST (link)was that she knew she had no case in regards to the illegal behavior of the NBPP. They’re a bunch of thugs and if she talked about them she would get run ruff shod over by Ms. Kelly. So she tried to filibuster constantly like a politician and only speak about her fixed talking points. She’s a joke of a commentator and really has gone off the deep end in her love for the Obama Administration.
Instead, Ms. Kelly kept bringing up the issue for why they were on the show, the criminal behavior of these thugs, and Kelly won by a TKO.
I think the "during the Bush administration argument" is starting to sound like my dog ate my homework.

The Bush blame,
gazill Tuesday, July 13th at 7:42PM EST (link)what examples have ever been provided of her claims, regardless of relevance to Megyn’s point, of voter intimidation cases thrown out during the Bush administration. In the recesses of my mind, I recall (time after time) accusations of voter fraud, voter intimidation/suppression and disenfranchisement during the Bush era whenever a Democrat lost, yet did not see any true evidence. However, I did see a video of the panther standing in paramilitary gear with a baton. I wish Megyn would have asked the drone to cite a specific example, and then provide the evidence. As I get older (and crankier, and boy is this administration elevating that trait), I lose complete patience with these people.

cactusjack Tuesday, July 13th at 10:44PM EST (link)subliminally, anytime anyone hears the name Bush now in political context it just makes them compare then to now, and realize they either miss him, or -shazam- GWB actually did better than “my man 0.” Either way a good association.
An Arizona case, Gazill...
merryj1 Wednesday, July 14th at 12:28AM EST (link)…and the Bush DOJ sent lawyers down to investigate: There were allegations of minutemen intimidating voters, but it turned out they were gathering English Only petition signatures, they were not within an improper distance to the voting polls, and there was no approaching of or interaction with voters until/unless the voters went to the petitioners to read and sign (or not) their name(s).
On the other hand, I was chewing nails about all of the Democratic voting fraud instances that the Bush DOJ did not investigate: Washington state where more votes were cast than registered voters; Wisconsin, where Michigan students bragged of casting several votes each at various Wisc locations (and a NY activist sent busloads of vagrants from poll-to-poll to cast multiple votes for $2 plus a pack of cigarettes each); numerous ACORN-related cases nationwide (some enforcement efforts on some cases), etc.
Someone answer a Question for me, What Voter Intimidation of Americans of African descent was the Libtard talking about?
Michael Dugas (Diary) Tuesday, July 13th at 7:59PM EST (link)I don’t remember the MSM screaming, and they would have, about white/republican intimidation of Americans of African descent at the polls. I see racism daily on the Left which I know they like to tag us with, maybe it makes them feel less dirty if they feel we are on par with their own racist behaviors.
We all saw the New Black Panther leader calling for killing whites and their babies….is that not the definition of the Hate Speech the left is always talking about? If I, as a Caucasian Conservative and a Republican, were to call for the killing of Americans of African descent and their children I’d be crucified in the media and probably brought up on federal hate crime charges of some sort. Incitement of violence for starters and there wouldn’t be any DOJ dropping the charges on me.
I do know this, if it happens again the Administration and the DOJ have just increased the likelihood of violence because the intimidated may just decide that there isn’t any justice for them
through legal channels and they may decide to handle it themselves.

Jack_Savage (Diary) Tuesday, July 13th at 8:27PM EST (link)The voter intimidation of African Americans that we are clearly guilty of is our racist idea that voters should actually be eligible and registered to vote and not be felons. At times we have even proposed the radical, teabagger racist idea that voters should actually carry identification that would prove that they are who they say they are when they voted. We also want to intimidate blacks by occasionally purging voter rolls for people who might have moved, be dead or be convicted of a felony.
Come on, man – systemic racism, so pervasive that we don’t even notice it? Don’t you read The Nation or hang out in the Village?

"SMACK" What was I thinking Jack!
Michael Dugas (Diary) Tuesday, July 13th at 11:09PM EST (link)Of course it’s so subtle as to be almost non existent. Systemic Racism and the Left seems to think the only cure for it is….more racism!!! More Hate!
Your SNARKisms aside, the overwhelming hypocrisy of it all is almost laughable if its intent wasn’t so malicious.
If The New Black Panthers were to actually start killin’ dem crackers and their babies would the DOJ prosecute or just issue a summons on a misdemeanor?

Michael, the voter intimidation she was talking about...
merryj1 Wednesday, July 14th at 12:43AM EST (link)… was primarily between 1866 and 1964, when the Democratic Party head in Tn, Nathan Bedford Forrest, created the Ku Klux Klan as a Dem Party national enforcement arm, with the declared purpose of breaking down the Republican Party so the Democrats could obtain control of elections.
That was actually pretty much common knowledge up into the FDR Administration; how on earth the Dems ever managed to twist history that 180 degrees to garner the Black vote and loyalty is mind-boggling to me, but you have to admit those old boys were very good at deception and deceit!
Dispicable and violent, absolutely, but very good at bald-faced lying. Ironic, though, no? The NBPP is now part of their 21st century KKK, as is the SEIU and who-knows-what-else.
Thanks for posting this story!

mom25 Tuesday, July 13th at 8:22PM EST (link)Liberals cannot mount a sensible, logical argument on any issue. They have all these ideals and positions, but nothing factual to base them on. The sole weapon they have in their arsenal is calling names and blaming other people. Thank God for people like Megyn who can keep control, make sense, and try to bring people back to the original argument. That Shabir Shamaz person should be on trial for hate speech…..if a white person stood on a corner with a bullhorn, shouting that black men should kill “white crackers” and babies, they’d be slapped in jail, plastered across the television screens and possibly dragged out for a hanging. This administration is a disgrace………

I could not believe what I heard…Carville absolutley dumped on the Moratorium. Talked about job loss in the Gulf, the economic impact, how bad it was. You got to hand it to him, Carville is a loyal Cajun. His wife backed him up. They were both dead serious, no axe to grind, but I bet the WH was turning back flips. Sen Landrieux knows she had better go to bat for her threatened state or she is toast next election whenever it is. Cajuns have long memories I guarantee.

I just scratch my head when I hear something like
cactusjack Tuesday, July 13th at 11:10PM EST (link)this “get by” the producers of CNN interview shows. They had to know Carville was probably going to open fire on Bamster again. No, CNN has not suddenly gone Red State or anything like that. I have to believe, the producers must have called all their anchors in recently and said “look, Obama is consistently under 50% approval rating and still dropping, the only thing being hurt by not taking the gloves off with him now, is CNN’s ratings…so you can take the gloves off…a little.” These dump on Obama shots out of the woods at CNN are not an accident anymore. The Clinton connection may indeed be the answer gekster. And as I recall Clinton carried LA in 1996.

We could expect certain things from B Clinton based on the polls (and I guess Dick Morris whispering in his ear)! Obama is working the Alinsky method and taking orders from George Soros and whoever else who has bought him off. Obama doesn’t care about the majority of people in the USA, just the ones who need social justice and fit his Marxist Ideology! To my best gut feeling, Hillary Clinton is in the same mold of B Obama, not her husband B Clinton. However, Hillary may not be a complete hard a-ss idealogue, although I could be wrong!

Did anyone else noticed that Kirsten Powers flat out lied?
barleycorn (Diary) Tuesday, July 13th at 11:30PM EST (link)Check out the video at about 2:45 and then at 6:55.
She first says it wasn’t voter intimidation and then claims Megyn Kelly is putting words in her mouth and denies having said it wasn’t voter intimidation.
The inability to keep track of what she had said in a short interview is pretty solid evidence she was making it up as she went along.
My only regret is that I only have an opportunity
TNJim (Diary) Wednesday, July 14th at 12:39AM EST (link)to listen to Megyn’s show for a few minutes each day during the Kelly’s Court segment. Thanks for this, Aaron. This is why she’s one of my favorites on Fox. And I agree with Fladstaff waaaay up in the first comments thread. Kirsten usually is better than this. Right_Again I think pointed to her downfall quite accurately. She channeled Colmes, and fell on her face. I still think Megyn woulda had her for breakfast, but not as bad.
Kelly rocks.

c1212c Wednesday, July 14th at 1:13PM EST (link)That just truly made my day, thank you Megyn! Powers had the same stupid talking points on last Saturday’s Fox News Watch. This reminded me of the good ‘ol days when she tried to debate Michelle Malkin on O’Reilly’s show, she had even less of a chance with Malkin. Looks like she hasn’t learned anything.
