"Justice Department political appointees overruled career lawyers and ended a civil complaint accusing three members of the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense of wielding a nightstick and intimidating voters at a Philadelphia polling place last Election Day, according to documents and interviews." 

"A Justice Department spokesman on Thursday confirmed that the agency had dropped the case, dismissing two of the men from the lawsuit with no penalty and winning an order against the third man that simply prohibits him from bringing a weapon to a polling place in future elections."-Excerpts Washington Times

Now, use your imaginations for a moment. Let's say it's 1960 and instead of the Black Panthers, let's make the club-wielding thugs Klan members. What do you think? Voter intimidation? Naaah. This is just a case of empathy in action. Welcome to the Obama Justice Department, where reverse-racism is righting past wrongs.
