The Obama Justice Department went to bat for the New Black Panther party—and then covered it up.

BY Jennifer Rubin, The Weekly Standard, 6/21/2010

The case is straightforward. On Election Day 2008, two members of the New Black Panther party (NBPP) dressed in military garb were captured on videotape at a Philadelphia polling place spouting racial epithets and menacing voters. One, Minister King Samir Shabazz, wielded a nightstick. It was a textbook case of voter intimidation and clearly covered under the 1965 Voting Rights Act.

A Department of Justice trial team was assigned to investigate. They gathered affidavits from witnesses—one of the poll watchers was called a “white devil” and a “cracker.” A Panther told him he would be “ruled by the black man.” The trial team, all career Justice attorneys and headed by voting section chief Chris Coates, filed a case against the two Panthers caught on tape. Malik Zulu Shabazz, head of the national NBPP, and the party itself were also named based on evidence the party had planned the deployment of 300 members on Election Day and on statements after the incident in which the NBPP endorsed the intimidation at the Philadelphia polling station.

The trial team quickly obtained a default judgment—meaning it had won the case because the New Black Panther party failed to defend itself. Yet in May 2009, Obama Justice Department lawyers, appointed temporarily to fill top positions in the civil rights division, ordered the case against the NBPP dismissed. An administration that has pledged itself to stepping-up civil rights enforcement dropped the case and, for over a year, has prevented the trial team lawyers from telling their story.

Some of Sarah Palin’s riskiest endorsements scored major victories Tuesday for the former Alaska governor, showing off her power in Republican primaries.

Palin had four primary endorsements in play – Carly Fiorina, Nikki Haley, Terry Branstad and Cecile Bledsoe – and three won or moved on to a runoff.

Palin served different roles for each candidate – sometimes spotlighting conservatives not well known to the national scene while at others validating conservative credentials to an unsure grassroots and even stepping in to deflect nasty attacks.

Milwaukee County’s top election law prosecutor Monday publicly reiterated and defended his claims that Milwaukee police didn’t investigate most voter fraud allegations for months after the November 2008 election.

Assistant District Attorney Bruce Landgraf said he referred 96 fraud cases to Milwaukee police between December 2008 and January 2009. He said his review of police reports found “no substantial investigation” of all but four cases for the first six months of 2009.

But Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn defended his department’s handling of the probes. Flynn denied that police dragged their feet and gave his most detailed account yet of the controversy surrounding a report on 2004 election irregularities.

The former detective at the center of the voting report controversy passed up his chance to tell his side to aldermen before he retires Friday from his job in the district attorney’s office.

Flynn and Landgraf discussed voter fraud issues Monday with the Common Council’s Judiciary & Legislation Committee. Ald. Jim Witkowiak asked them to address Journal Sentinel investigative columnist Dan Bice’s March 8 revelation of Landgraf’s e-mails about the pace of police investigations and Wall Street Journal opinion columnist John Fund’s 2008 claim that police refused to deploy a special unit to prevent fraud in that November’s presidential election.

Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett could do just a little more on vote fraud, but then he wouldn’t want to harm his chances in running for governor, would he?

By Patrick Marley of the Journal Sentinel, May 10, 2010

Madison — Voters cannot sign up with municipal clerks to voluntarily show their IDs when they go to the polls, the state elections board ruled Monday.

The move came in response to a group of Waukesha County women who have been asking clerks to check their IDs when they cast ballots to ensure no one steals their votes. But the Government Accountability Board, which runs state elections, ruled 6-0 that only the Legislature could set up such a system.

The fight over voluntarily showing IDs is the latest flare-up in the debate over whether voters should be required to show IDs at the polls. When Republicans controlled the Legislature, they passed three bills requiring photo IDs, but Democratic Gov. Jim Doyle vetoed them, saying such a requirement would disenfranchise voters.

A separate effort allowing people to voluntarily sign up for showing IDs at the polls hasn’t gotten through the Legislature.

A group of 10 women calling themselves the We’re Watching Wisconsin Elections Campaign has been trying to get municipal clerks to allow voters to sign up individually for the photo ID requirement, with little success. They asked the Government Accountability Board to change state policies so clerks would do that, but the board said it didn’t have that power.

Ardis Cerny, co-chairwoman of the group, said voters deserved the option of showing their IDs because she knew of someone in her area who was unable to vote after someone else cast a ballot in his name. She also pointed to a Green Bay case in April in which two people voted under two other people’s names.

“I just want to have my vote protected,” Cerny said.

It was great to see that conservative candidates replaced many local non-partisan positions throughout Milwaukee County and throughout the rest of the State of Wisconsin in yesterday’s election, David Karst, Chairman of the Republican Party of Milwaukee County said.

This is an exciting time in America, and I believe that we will see the same results in the November 2010 elections. We should expect that elected officials listen to the public, instead of ignoring them or calling them an angry mob. The silent majority is silent no more.

The Tea Party Express is made up of Republicans, Democrats, Independents, Conservatives, Libertarians, but the makeup of the individuals within the Tea Party movement align with the party of Ronald Reagan.

Congratulations to all of the newly elected representatives, and I wish you the best in your endeavor to join individuals like Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker in holding the line on taxes, making your communities a business friendly community.

Republicans Ahead In Polls

I was pleased to see that Republicans were leading in both the Governor’s race and the race for United States Senate, David Karst, Chairman of the Republican Party of Milwaukee County said.

The polling data that we are seeing is very encouraging; however, no one should take the 2010 election for granted. Remember that the Democrats are still in control in both the State of Wisconsin and at the federal level, and here in Wisconsin we have seen how they continue to try to change our election laws.

Karst once again encouraged residents to call their State of Wisconsin Representatives and tell them to vote against AB 895 and SB 640 by calling 1-800-362-9472. These bills could change the direction of this election if they are put into law before the November, 2010 election.

The Republican Party of Milwaukee County wants to invite you to become a member today, by calling 414-727-1220. We need your support in order to make a difference in both the State of Wisconsin and the United States Congress.

Dear Fellow Conservative:

It has been brought to my attention, that the City of Milwaukee has a program which is called “Adopt-A-Voting Site program.

I have attached a copy of information on this program, and would like to encourage you to adopt a voting site in the City of Milwaukee. I have been advised that even if there are poll workers in the polling site, they are being removed and replaced by liberal groups.

Since the City of Milwaukee will play a major role in the election of a new Governor in the fall of this year, I would encourage you to sign up for this program. Please contact Bob Spindell, Republican Election Commissioner for the City of Milwaukee at 414-276-6331/fax: 414-276-3582.

All of the information is in the attachment as to what you need to do to sign up your group or business to adopt-a-voting site.

If you apply for a voting site and are turned turn down, I would like to know about it, as we want to make sure that this program is fair and equal to both sides of the political spectrum.

Thank you for applying for the program – the November election is too important for us not to get involved.

Sincerely,
David Karst,
Chairman
Republican Party of Milwaukee County

Hey, America, you have a phone call. It’s Pravda on the line and they just called to say that they’re shocked at the sort of propaganda coming from our mainstream media.

Before the vote on Obamacare, the MSM acted like an extension of the White House press office. Since deathpanelcare became law, they’ve switched over to lowering expectations, trying to distract the public, and pumping out Democratic spin disguised as news.

Yesterday, there were stories popping up all over the place claiming that Republicans had given up on repealing Obamacare. Their evidence for that claim? An old quote from John Cornyn and a bunch of Democrats insisting it was a losing issue.

–SNIP– Oh, sure, by November no one will care that the Democrats are raising taxes, slashing Medicare, causing premiums to spike, paying for abortions with your tax dollars, giving Viagra to sex offenders, killing jobs, raising the deficits, and destroying the quality of medical care in this country with a plan that will lead to doctor shortages, rationing, and death panels.

Gosh, why in the world would Republicans, none of whom voted for one of the most irresponsible bills in American history, still be talking about that issue in November?

State of Wisconsin - Government Accountability Board at http://gab.wi.gov/

by Charlie Cook, National Journal, Saturday, Jan. 30, 2010

Having given himself “a good, solid B-plus” for his first year in office and declaring he would “rather be a really good one-term president than a mediocre two-term president,” President Obama has a lot of people, even in his own party, wondering what on earth constitutes a good performance to his way of thinking.

Jimmy Carter is the only president in over a century who failed to win re-election after taking over from the other party. That presidents usually get re-elected is of little solace to Democrats bracing for losses that could be comparable to the epic midterm election defeats of 1958, 1974, 1982, 1994, and 2006.

Congressional Democrats are hardly blameless on this, but it is the president who sets the agenda and largely runs the show. After his historic election to the presidency, Obama had a lot of political capital. But by opting to push a deeply flawed and insufficiently robust economic stimulus package, one that failed to keep unemployment from rising far higher than the administration expected, Obama committed his first presidential sin. Some observers argue that the $787 billion stimulus package was the biggest the president thought he could get. A far more persuasive argument is that he wanted to save his political capital for causes nearer and dearer to his heart. Making matters worse, the legislation lost credibility because Obama let the stimulus become a Christmas tree for all kinds of pet Democratic projects. Instead of being seen as a much-needed economic shot-in-the-arm, the package was widely viewed as wasteful spending.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The Republican Party of Milwaukee County conducted a straw poll on the announced Republican Gubernatorial candidates at their booth during the 11 days of the Wisconsin State Fair. The results from the Straw Poll are as follows:

Walker 2420
Neumann 132
Todd 44

Republican Party Chairman David Karst said “I was not surprised with the outstanding support that Scott Walker received during the fair.” Karst said “the Walker campaign signed up hundreds of volunteers at the booth for Walker.” This was a non-scientific straw poll. Individuals cast their vote by placing quarters into “ballot boxes” for each candidate, each quarter counted as one vote and people could vote multiple times.

All of this good news come on the wake of the announcement by Jim Doyle that he will not seek re-election for a third term – Karst said he believes that Doyle knew that he could not beat Walker statewide and that is why he decided at this late date not to run again.
