No, White Poll Watchers In Black Neighborhoods Are Not Racists.

When armed New Black Panthers show up at the polls in Pennsylvania to intimidate some "crackers," it's no big deal, but when duly authorized poll watchers, who simply happen to be white, show up in a polling place used by large numbers of black voters... well, Katie bar the door, that's racist.

AJ Vicens and Natasha Kahn in an article published in, shocker of all shockers, the "unbiased" Washington Post didn't come right out and used the word "racist," but the accusation is so overtly clear, that one would hesitate to call it an implication.

Vicens and Kahn write: "As Jamila Gatlin waited in line at a northside Milwaukee elementary school to cast her ballot June 5 in the proposed recall of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, she noticed three people in the back of the room. They were watching, taking notes. Officially called 'election observers,' they were white. Gatlin, and almost everyone else in line, was black. That’s pretty harassing right there, if you ask me, Gatlin said in the hall outside the gym. Why do we have to be watched while we vote?" Quick, someone call George Zimmerman's attorney and have him instruct Zimmerman to take the witness stand and proclaim, 'Trayvon was black. That's pretty harassing right there.' Sounds racist, doesn't it? That's the point; race-baiting is inherently racist. Vincens and Kahn go on to inform the readers that two of the "election observes" were "from a Houston-based group called True the Vote, an offshoot of the Houston tea party," begging the question as to just who is guilty of engaging in racist behavior. Gatlin, assuming she is being accurately quoted, has a right to hold and express her opinions, but Vicens, Kahn and The Washington Post have no excuse for writing and publishing an alleged “hard-news story” that can more accurately be described as propaganda and race-baiting than mere media bias. Vicens and Kahn bolster their point, or rather, their propaganda ploy under the guise of legitimate news, by quoting Nic Riley of New York University’s Brennan Center: "In a community where voter participation is not very high and where folks are not as politically active, any barrier that prevents you from getting to the polls or that discourages you from getting to the polls is potentially a problem.” Not-so-coincidentally, the Brennan Center just so happens to be a far-left George Soros-funded operation that has been conducting phony studies, and exploiting friendly contacts (apparatchiks) in the lame-stream media and the Holder Department of In-Justice to advance the absurd contention that common-sense voter id laws will potentially disenfranchise minority voters. Matt Vespa, writing for News Busters asks: "Did I miss the conspiracy here? What is so evil about poll watching?" The answer, of course, should be self-apparent. There is a conspiracy here, and it started with George Soros, the Brennan Center, Eric Holder’s Justice Department and all those who are involved in what is obviously an organized movement to cast aspersions at legitimately sanctioned poll-watching activities (by individuals who are not armed and don't actively engage voters with verbal threats and taunts) and voter id laws which discourage actual voter fraud and safeguard the integrity of the electoral process for all voters, without preference to race, color or creed.
