You let me know when your done sucking it up. As stated, Fox dropped that story instantly and never aired another second of it on election night. Pst, it was bullshit.

What was BS about it?

That people were not turned away from the polls and that the story was a 100% setup. That in case you missed the memo white people voted for Obama, too, in very large numbers. That the magic black pathers couldn't and didn't somehow have a crystal ball and somehow figured out which white people were voting for Obama and which were voting for McCain so as not to scare and intimidate the wrong whities. That Fox news high tailed out of there faster than they arrived on the scene. That had it been a real issue they'd still be broadcasting live from that entrance many months later. Etc. Look how much coverage the Todd story got 24/7 until it was found out to be a fake a couple days later. Yeah, Fox was just going to drop THIS story? Yeah, not so much.



Good job not commenting on the fact that prosecutors pressed charges and there was debate in congress about it.

Use Fox as the boogyman. Congrats.

Nothing was "fake" about it.

Good job keeping your head up your ass about frivolous charges that went no where. Just another birther story. :roll: keep trying laughing stock EBT #47

The chages went nowhere because the Obama team chose them to go nowhere. There is no buisness for men be they Black, white, or pink to be strutting around polling places with Batons In the USA.
Had they been KKK members you would be having a tizzy about it, and rightly so.
Your uber salivating over all left has caused you to wet your pants.

Oh get your head out of your ass and start thinking for yourself. Fox dropped that contrived story faster than a priests pants at an alter boy convention. Ever wonder why nothing more came of that set up? That was just the Ashley Todd story of the week.

Link?

To what?

You are completely mixing up stories.

Hah, I would love for Acorn or Black Panther people to try to prevent me from polling...
It would be fun.
I'd make sure they threw the first punch, and end up in jail. Or in a coma, one of the two.

I have no idea why people would get the brine idea to stuff cucumbers in a bottle in front of an abortion clinic but if that's what they want to do, so be it, as far as I'm concerned.

Even though those people are all dumbass bible thumping morons who believe the earth is 5000 years old.... they still have the right to protest.

I know. It sounds crazy to me too but it's what this thread is about:

Should pickling be allowed outside abortion clinics?

Then they should have done the same to the Black Panther Group during the last election . . . or to Union members picketing during a strike.

What about my post is Palin-esque? The fact that I admitted I misunderstood the "nuance" of the post? The fact that I said "Gotchya" instead of "Oh ok, I understand what you were trying to say"?

Grow up, troll.

i agree with this.
i am pro-choice but i have no issue with anyone protesting anything, so long as they do it in a "civil" way.
I also feel that whenever there is a large picket anywhere that there should be police protection for those who are not doing the picketing. Any of the picketers who violate the "rules" for picketing should absolutely be arrested.

There's a difference between expressing your opinion and harassing someone. If i was going to an abortion clinic and a single person was shouting profanities at me, blocking my entrance, and physically invading my space and freedom, would he not be reprimanded for harassment?? im asking because im not sure, so enlighten me.

Not that I am siding with people who would harass patients going into the clinic, but how does one justify making it illegal to photograph someone in a public place?
Taking a photograph of someone in a public place won't get you sued. Taking a photo of non-public figure where they have a reasonable expectation of privacy, and when the publishing of said photo will likely reveal embarrassing or personal facts about that non-newsworthy person can get you sued.

Another's right to privacy trumps your right to take a photograph.

Protest is fine. Intimidation is not.

Another imaginative post from jpalin77. Keep 'em coming. The nonsense is entertaining.

It's most curious that you said a few days ago that you hadn't posted here for a while and that you only came back to assert your views on the subject of a particular thread - and yet you're still here. We've certainly missed your authoritarian pov...
