Believe what Faux/Fixed/Fox says only f you own a salt mine or three. Last 
week, they reputedly had proof that the LA Times had video of Obama, Bill Ayres 
and a Palestinian activist at a fund raiser, listening to anti-American poetry 
being read. (I think it was poetry. Anti-American, for certain.)

The Nine Circles must've been overcrowded, to allow Uncle Rupert and His Clowns

Obama Volunteer On Scene Disputes Fox News' Suggestions That Black Panthers
Are Intimidating Voters


By Greg Sargent  -

Fox News and other conservatives on the Web are pushing hard on the story
that two black panthers may be intimidating voters at a polling place in
north Philadelphia.

But an Obama campaign volunteer who's been on the scene since 6:30 AM this
morning tells me in a phone interview that there's been absolutely no
intimidation of voters at all today. And a Pennsylvania spokesperson for
Obama said the two men aren't in any way affiliated with the campaign.

Fox News' story is right  here.
It says one of two black panthers on the scene was "allegedly blocking the
door," says another was "holding a nightstick." and adds that "the concern
was that they were intimidating people who were trying to go inside to
vote."

But Jacqueline Dischell, the Obama volunteer, tells me by phone that that's
false. 

Dischell confirms that there were in fact two black panthers guarding the
polling place, a nursing home on Fairmont Avenue in north Philadelphia,
earlier this morning.

But she says one was an officially designated poll watcher (it was not
immediately clear which municipal office had designated him in that role),
and the second was his friend. The second panther, who left two or three
hours ago, was the one with the nightstick, she says.

Dischell says that earlier this morning a few men who identified themselves
as being from the McCain campaign came and started taking pictures of the
two panthers on their cell phones. She suggested that they seemed to be
baiting the panthers, and that the designated watcher may have given one of
them the finger in response to the picture taking. 

The police came roughly an hour and a half later. She says she talked to the
cops and told them there had been no incident. The police drove away without
getting out of the car, she adds.

Some time later, a second, larger group of men whose affiliation couldn't be
determined came with real cameras and started taking more pictures. Maybe 15
minutes later the cops returned. This time, they spoke to people on both
sides, and told the panther not designated to watch the polls to leave,
which he did without an argument.

"There was no fight, nothing," she says.

Fox News arrived on the scene at around that time and started interviewing
people near the entrance. The building manager asked the Fox reporter to
leave, she says, and he moved further from the entrance.

That's where things now stand. "There has been no fighting, no voter
intimidation at all," she said.
