‘I’M GOING TO CUT YOU OFF RIGHT THERE’: CNN ANCHOR CALLS OUT OUSTED COLORADO DEMOCRAT FOR BLAMING RECALL ON ‘VOTER SUPPRESSION’

Posted by Brian

Refusing to accept her defeat gracefully, recalled Colorado state Sen. Angela Giron appeared on CNN Thursday to blame her embarrassing ouster on “voter suppression.” Earlier this week, Colorado residents voted to recall Giron and Democratic Senate President John Morse over a number of gun control laws they helped pushed through the Legislature.

“We know what really happened here. Yes, we had the strong NRA and you have a person like Mr. Head, but what this story is really about, it’s about voter suppression,” Giron said.

The former state senator claimed that 70 percent of Colorado residents vote by mail, but there was no mail-in voting for the recall election. Surprisingly, she was quickly called out by a CNN anchor.

“OK, forgive me, but I’m going to cut you off right there. Because if we talk voter suppression, I’ve read reports on lack of popularity on your behalf. Let’s just not go there,” CNN’s Brooke Baldwin said.  Being reprimanded by the CNN anchor left Giron looking like this:

Jesse Jackson: Long Lines At Polls Are "Voter Suppression"

Posted by Brian

Race-Baiter and Baby-daddy, Rev. Jesse Jackson
So now, people having to stand in line to vote is voter suppression!

Why does anyone actually take this moron seriously?  To me, his credibility was gone once he put his hands into the blood of Martin Luther King,  Jr. and, wiping it on his sweater, established the myth that he was with the late reverend at the time he was shot, launching his career as a media whore, and race-baiting charlatan.

Doesn't this guy have a young female congregant to "comfort",  or a corporation to shake down?

(CNSNews.com) -- Reverend Jesse Jackson, founder and president of the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, said that long lines at Pennsylvania polling places on Election Day were a form of voter suppression. 

He added that he has not seen lines like the ones at early polling places in Ohio since the election of Nelson Mandela in South Africa.

New Black Panthers Say They'll "Monitor" Polling Stations Again This Election

Posted by Brian
Don't worry!  I'm sure Eric Holder and the racial (In)Justice Department will be all over any voter intimidation by the NBP's this time!
Riiiiight!

Will New Black Panthers be back this year?
WILL BUNCH, Daily News Staff Writer
POSTED: Monday, November 5, 2012, 3:01 AM

THEY MAY BE back in black for Tuesday's election - the uber-controversial New Black Panther Party.

But now with 100 percent less nightstick.

You'll recall, especially if you've ever listened to conservative talk radio, that it was right here that the Election Day 2008 appearance of two local leaders of the smallish black-power posse outside a polling station at 12th and Fairmount in North Philadelphia - one brandishing a large nightstick - became a national controversy.

Critics said it was an open-and-shut case of voter intimidation and that the U.S. Justice Department, whose probe began in the Bush administration and ended during President Obama's term, let the New Black Panthers duo off too easy.

Third-World Elections Come To Houston - NAACP Campaigning For Obama In Polling Station

Posted by Brian

Barack Obama speaking at NAACP event
The Blaze reports that NAACP members showed up at a Houston polling place, passed out water, and campaigned for Barack Obama. Wearing hats and jackets emblazoned with the NAACP name, they were at one point told to turn their jackets inside out, but refused, defiant that they would do whatever the hell they wanted to, and would not leave the polling place.
Though representatives of "True the Vote" were there to report the violations, they were told by someone from the city that the NAACP could violate the law and operate within 100' of the polls.
Somebody tell me:  How is the NACCP distinguishing themselves from the Black Panthers, or from the Ku Klux Klan in the past?  Not in the sense of violence, but in the tactics used by these groups to either intimidate voters to vote how they wanted them to, or to not vote at all?
And where are the police to enforce the sacredness of these polling stations, which are to be free of any type of coercion for the people who go to perform our most basic duty of voting in a free country?
We don't need UN poll watchers here, we need the American people to stand up and say that this is enough. I don't for one second believe that this is some spontaneous thing that the local chapter of the Houston NAACP decided to do.  This is the district of the infamous Sheila Jackson-Lee, one of the stupidest, and most racist members of Congress, who showed up at polling stations in 2010 to shake hand with people at polling stations, clear violation of election laws. This kind of stuff is going to continue to happen in areas where the Dems think they can get away with it.
All of this kind of stuff comes from the top.  Obama and his regime will not have fingerprints on this kind of stuff, but they have given their nod of approval to those who can coordinate this stuff.
This is Obama and Chicago-style politics on a national level.

REPORT: NAACP OPERATIVES INVADE HOUSTON POLLING STATION
Posted on November 3, 2012 at 8:00pm by Becket Adams

Members of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) on Friday allegedly descended on a polling station in Houston to “encourage” people to vote for President Barack Obama, Townhall.com’s Katie Pavlich reports.

Poll watcher Eve Rockford, who was trained by True the Vote, claims three people wearing NAACP labeled clothing showed and started handing out bottled water to people waiting in line. After that, they started “stirring up the crowd,” at one point even mentioning flying people to Ohio to promote the president.

Surprised by what she was seeing, Rockford notified Polling Supervisor Rose Cochran.

“I went to the polling supervisor and let her know that it was not appropriate that they were in the building handing out water. She ignored me. I repeated my statement. She told me that she would handle it,” Rockford said in an incident report released True the Vote.

FL GOP Voters Sent Fake Letters Questioning Citizenship

Posted by Brian
While those on the left scream like stuck little pigs about voters being disenfranchised by having to show proof of their identity, we have this story of an actual attempt by those on the left who are trying to suppress GOP voting in the swing state of Florida.  According to the report, only GOP voters are receiving letters which attempt to intimidate them by questioning their citizenship, with the apparent goal of keeping them away from the polls.
This has all of the earmarks of ACORN, Organize Now, Florida Watch Action, or whatever they are calling themselves these days.  It will be interesting to find what the Feds turn up on this one, assuming Eric Holder doesn't stop the investigation before it gets started.
While Dems keep making accusations of voter suppression, isn't it curious how it's nearly always the Dems who keep getting caught with their hand in the cookie jar?

Feds to probe possible voter fraud in Florida Residents receiving false letters questioning citizenship, officials say

ORLANDO, Fla. - Officials in Florida have issued a warning about a new trick trying to prevent voters from going to the polls.  Voters are getting letters that look like they are from local elections offices, questioning their citizenship. But Local 6 has learned the letters are fake, and they are going out across Central Florida and other parts of the state.

Officials said the voters who have received the letters thus far are white, registered Republicans who consistently vote in elections.

U.S. A Banana Republic? Dems Call In U.N. To Monitor U.S. Elections For "Voter Suppression"

Posted by Brian
H/T To The Hill
Leftist so-called civil rights groups are calling in the United Nations to monitor U.S. elections on November 6th like some third-world banana republic.  Supposedly they are concerned that conservative groups like "True the Vote" are aiming to suppress minority turnout.
Really?!
Where were these groups when the New Black Panthers were stationing themselves at the doors of polling places, dressed in black military gear, wearing black sunglasses, and carrying billy clubs?  Noooo, this was voter intimidation at all.  How do we know?  Because the Eric Holder Justice Department said it wasn't, killing an investigation of what seasoned agents said was a "slam dunk" case of the NBP's illegal intimidation voters.
Apparently though, states who have laws requiring voters to produce identification verifying that they are the person that they claim to be IS voter suppression. Having poll watchers to ensure that there are not others like the NBP's at the polls to intimidate voters is also voter suppression.
So, according to these leftists we need U.N. monitors from liberal places like France, and countries who were once part of the Soviet bloc to come in and monitor our elections.
New Black Panthers "poll watchers" in Philadelphia 
I don't think for one second that these "civil rights" groups believe that True the Vote or Voter ID laws are suppressing the voting rights of minorities.  They are simply doing the prep work to challenge any vote that doesn't re-elect Barack Obama or any number of liberal Democrats who they see as critical to maintaining their power. By putting all of this in place ahead of the election, they are positioning themselves to cry "voter fraud" or "tampering with the results" in the case of a close election. I also don't put it past them to have liberal groups take to the streets and create civil unrest in the event the election doesn't go their way. They are not above manufacturing a crisis, using an unwitting or not-so-unwitting media on the day of the election.  Look for early returns and exit polls to heavily favor Obama and Democrats.  This would set the table for, if and when the results swing for Romney, these leftist groups and the media to claim that something untoward may be happening, while positing the theory that we may be seeing a coordinated effort to steal the election by right-wing groups.
If all of this may seem crazy to you, I say you may be right. Crazy like a fox.

International monitors at US polling spots draw criticism from voter fraud groups
By Alexander Bolton - 10/20/12 12:00 PM ET    

United Nations-affiliated election monitors from Europe and central Asia will be at polling places around the U.S. looking for voter suppression activities by conservative groups, a concern raised by civil rights groups during a meeting this week. The intervention has drawn criticism from a prominent conservative-leaning group combating election fraud.

The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), a United Nations partner on democratization and human rights projects, will deploy 44 observers around the country on Election Day to monitor an array of activities, including potential disputes at polling places.

Charlie Rangel Accused Of Disenfranchising Hispanic Voters

Posted by Brian

Ethically-challenged "Good Time" Charlie Rangel may be in more hot water.  On the heels of what looked like a close primary victory in Rangel's longtime Harlem district, he is now being accused of orchestrating shenanigans which did not allow Hispanic voters in his upper Manhatten/Bronx district to receive ballots, told they were not on the voter rolls, or failing to provide assistance to non-english speaking constituents.
Rangel, who has been vocal in his opposition to voter ID laws, claiming they would disenfranchise blacks and Hispanics, is now embroiled in a scandal in which the disenfranchisement claim is based on the appearance, or accent, of the voter.
Whatever happened to the "content of their character, and not the color of their skin", Charlie?

Bid for feds to eye Rangel vote

Claiming voter suppression, a national Dominican American organization and state Sen. Adriano Espaillat are demanding the Department of Justice monitor the high-stakes ballot count in Espaillat’s bid to unseat longtime Rep. Charles Rangel.

The Dominican American National Roundtable yesterday called on the feds to “investigate whether access to the ballot was denied or suppressed for Latino/Dominican voters in the Democratic Primary for the 13th Congressional District.

Sharpton: GOP Suppressed Wisconsin Recall Vote

Posted by Brian

“but resist we much… we must… and we will much… about… that… be committed.”
Al Sharpton  (Watch Below)

Bwahahahahaha! Oh that wacky Al Sharpton!

Speaking to his anemic radio audience, Al Sharpton insinuated that the Republicans stole the Wisconson election on Tuesday by outspending the Democrats, and (wait for it!) suppressing Democrat turnout(?)!

As I posted earlier this week, voter turnout in some Democrat strongholds was reported at over 90%, which not only doesn't sound like voter suppression, it reeks of voter fraud on a massive scale.  Not massive enough for Al Sharpton, of course.  Turnout need to be not 100%, but over 100%.  How else are they going to get candidates like Al Franken elected?

These guys are getting worried, which is going to make for a major effort by Democrats to artificially inflate turnout in November.




Sharpton's greatest T.V. moment:
