It lets both groups pretend that the NBPP has enough people to fill a school bus.

Their leader Cuannell X (sp?) was a regular panelist on Hannity for a decade, always happily agreeing to play scary, black militant straw man to Hannity's 'reasonable' conservative in all discussions of civil rights

The Romney Project Orca "poll watching" goons sitting behind the the real poll volunteers glaring at the computer screen and relaying info to their goon squad partners who are using Blackberrys and tablets to "check" the voter's information after giving their name to the person checking them in to vote

A lot of reports on twitter about seeing this happen this morning

Project Orca = Stolen Election

I don't know how these hypocritical idiots get dressed in the morning.

Is there nothing they won't do to earn a dollar ?

Do they have zero morals ?

What is threatening about this elderly gentleman ?

Are they upset that he opened the door for two white women ?

Fox News is too disgusting for words.

Fox News viewers are the most unpatriotic people living in the U.S.

They truly sicken me.

I kept waiting for him to do anything remotely intimidating, and their big climax was that he opened the door for old ladies???? Seriously, that's all they've got?

he kindly opened the door. Republicans would have slammed the door in everyone's face and demanded ID 'cause it's what they do.

21. Semi-military pose?

He isn't at parade rest. Parade rest is a formal military pose with hands behind the back, looking strictly forward. He wouldn't do other activities from parade rest, he would come to attention first then perform his duty from there. The guy in the video is just standing like any guy might be standing if he had to wait outside in the cold. He says hi to people and opens the door for the ladies.

The fox news analyst obviously has never been in the military.

I think the cell phone ear piece would be more intimidating because he might be in secret communication with someone.

You know, it's quite odd that so far, Fox News has been the ONLY news network that has milked this NBPP story so much. I have never heard about this supposed Black hate group on any other network, not even CNN. Fox News couldn't possibly be pushing an agenda, could they?

...having a Black man open the door for you. One other thing, I didn't see him asking anyone for identification like those Republican asses outside of polling places on the other side of Pennsylvania.
