My give a gak ended when I recalled that Texas will be so Red that taking over one polling station is like spitting in the ocean.

Further, i don't believe this person. There would be pictures of these folks in their NAACP shirts all over the place. If people were cutting in line, you can bet your ass some folks would have taken pictures/videos on their cell phones and plastered them over the interwebs. Including this complainant.

Nope...not on youtube yet

**d-usa**

I can't bring myself to switch on Fox News, but I assume that there is still a lack of grainy cell phone footage?

**Jihadin**

No footage but whats already printed...and Fox News not showing it or mentioning it. Only big news on there about polling stations is a Fed Judge extended the polling stations by four hours in 4-5 counties in FLA

**d-usa**

It Fox News isn't running with an anti-Obama / democratic voter fraud story then I think the story is settled...

**Jihadin**

Nope...just the Hitler voter registration form...Hitler...wait...John Adolf Hitler in Ohio...residence in LA...that voted in Cinncinataorsomethingclose

**Kilkrazy**

What we have here is an allegation by a right-wing group that apparently is known for falsifying evidence.

They play the race card straight away, yet are unable to produce a single photo or independent eye witness report to support their claim.

The whole story is clearly a fabrication and I wonder that the NAACP does not take a suit against the originating organisation.

How dare people make such claims purportedly to support democracy?

Absolutely disgusting.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOUSTON, TX - Friday afternoon at an early polling place located at 6719 W. Montgomery Road in Houston, NAACP members were seen advocating for President Barack Obama according to volunteer poll watchers on location at the time.

According to Eve Rockford, a poll watcher trained by voter integrity group True the Vote,

Aaaaand that's where I stopped reading.

The entire True the Vote organization is despicable, and really should start referring to themselves as the Saal-Shutz.

(yeah, I know I Godwin'd this thread, but the comparison is apt)

**Kovnik Obama**

So, hum, why can she watch the polls and not the UN representatives?

Cause she is an ameriCan who loves freedoms, and they are ameriCan'ts who hate freedom.

Wait for Monday the weekend cable news cycle is generally set on Friday. Fox reported the town hall story.

Without pictures in this day and age: it never happened.

Hard to believe this happened though. When the Black Panthers showed up to intimidate white voters in 2008 there were all sorts of videos of it. Sweeping it under the rug distracted Eric Holder from selling guns to narcocartels for almost a week. A WEEK! Could have been longer, thank god for the MSM.

Actually it was that horrible lib George W Bush who "swept it under the rug", mainly because nothing happened that was prosecutable. Unless you think Obama and Holder have a magical time machine, of course, and can project thier presidential power into the past.

But, you know, it's only Facts, what do they matter, right?

Under the Bush administration, a criminal investigation into the incident was started, but later dropped.[10][11] Instead, in January 2009, less than two weeks before the Bush administration left office, the civil rights division of the Department of Justice filed a civil suit under the voting rights act against four defendants, namely, Minister King Samir Shabazz, Jerry Jackson. The case remained open when the Obama administration took office a few weeks later.The decision to dismiss the charges has led to accusations that the Department of Justice under the Obama administration is biased against white victims and unwilling to prosecute minorities for civil rights violations

Come back again soon

No, just their homeless - aka bums. Crime jumped in Houston after Katrina.

Did this occur? Probably. Do I care? Probably not.
