the one thing that hate site doesn't do is list the quotes about love and tolerance which vastly outnumber the commands to do violence.. or their biblical counterparts. or the comparison that was done, wherein the bible's violent commands outnumber the Quran's.
The incident was investigated by the Department of Justice and, before Barack Obama became President
It turns out that the decision not to pursue criminal charges against the New Black Panther Party for it’s actions at Philadelphia polling places during the 2008 election was made when George W. Bush was still President.
(1) the original NBPP controversy really was small potatoes, as Abby Thernstrom and Jonathan Adler concluded. This was a tiny incident in a single polling place about which there was not proof of a single intimidated voter.
1 minor case as opposed to how many hundreds of polling places True The Vote showed up to, recording which black person voted, claiming to be security to check their ids and write down info? and how many "True The Vote" volunteers were investigates? Zero.
So once again: you ignore actual rampant intimidation, to point one case by the skin color you don't like. And you claim youre not racist.
you'd be less ignorant (and less racist, but hey, thats probably a stretch for you) if you stopped to realize that while yes there was once case brought against the BP...none at all were brought against the good patriotic white folks who posted themselves at majority minority polling stations to ensure "the integrity" of minority voters. and then there's the cases of the polling stations that were moved or closed in majority minority neighborhoods.
or this list of incidents from 2008:
Voter Intimidation and Deceptive Practices
In recent elections, robo-phone calls and misleading flyers, often targeting minority and low-income communities, have spread false information regarding elections and voting qualifications. For examples of such documents, click here. New Mexico. Two families reported visits by a private investigator inquiring about relatives that the state Republican Party alleges voted fraudulently in the June primary. The private investigator requested identification for relatives in question as proof of their eligibility, potentially in violation of federal law. The Bernalillo County Clerk confirmed both individuals' legitimate registrations. On October 27, 2008, the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund filed a lawsuit seeking an injunction to stop further intimidation. Virginia. A phony State Board of Elections flier was posted around the Hampton Roads area, stating that Republicans vote on Tuesday, November 4th, and Democrats vote on Wednesday, November 5th. The Virginia State Police determined that flier was an "office joke" and not intended to deceive voters. Philadelphia fliers. Deceptive fliers about the consequences of voting were distributed in a predominantly African American neighborhood in Philadelphia. Greene County, Ohio. A law enforcement officer in Greene County, Ohio sought the names of 300 voters who registered and voted at the beginning of Ohio's early voting period in a town made up largely of students. The effort, which was later withdrawn, was criticized as an effort to intimidate student voters and deter others from voting. Hamilton County, Ohio. In a move that could intimidate and deter voters, Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters recently requested, via subpoena, personal information for 40% of the voters who registered and immediately cast a ballot during the weeklong period in which Ohio allows same-day registration and voting. California. Dozens of voters reported that a firm hired by the California Republican Party tricked them into registering with the GOP when signing a petition they believed to toughen penalties against child molesters. The Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder is reviewing 9,000 registration affidavits submitted by the firm to determine if any of the party affiliation changes were involuntary. Travis County, Texas. County officials are looking for a man who may be providing misleading information regarding the state's straight-party voting option, telling voters that in addition to a straight-party vote, they must also select the name of the candidate they would like vote for president. In actuality, doing this would de-select the mark automatically made by the straight-party vote. Madison County, North Carolina. Residents have complained of misleading calls that provide inaccurate information regarding absentee ballot deadlines. The State Board of Elections is investigating. Kern County, California. A radio host announced that Republicans are being urged to vote on November 4 and Democrats on November 5. Although the host has said he meant it as a joke, the county elections chief has asked the radio station to stop providing misleading information. Baltimore City, Maryland. In Maryland, people with felony convictions can register to vote when they have completed the terms of their sentence, including probation and parole. The Baltimore city elections board sent letters to 422 people with felony convictions who registered to vote asking them to verify that t
the biggest reason the 2008 crash didn't turn into Great Depression 2.0 was our existing assistance programs, weak as they are. they helps slow and arrest the crash, automatically kicking in and stimulating the economy. its how crashes SHOULD work. it would have been even less painful, had our programs been stronger.
when talking about wins for the economy: so is spending on the poor. the stimulus effect on the economy s such that spending on the poor results in more economic activity being generated than money is spent. ie, for every dollar spent, more than 1 dollar is generated, boosting the economy. during the crash SNAP was generatings over 2$ for every 1$ spent. unemployment insurance has a similar effect.
so a proper social support structure is the first step in fixing our economy. and the UBI can be the first step in strengthening our incredibly weak support structure.
want to talk about actuall current welfare? fine. first educate yourself about it instead of posting BS.
-Welfare is known as TANF, and it doesn't move anyone out of poverty because it was created in 1996 by the welfare "reform" law created by Clinton and the republican congress. TANF eliminated welfare, even though conservatives still act like it still exists. TANF, aka workfare, is not an entitlement , runs out after 2 years, and requires you find a job. TANF is a 16.5 billion dollar block grant divided amongst the states, and it is the state's reponsibilties to administer it. now heres the reason why it doesn't help poverty: because most states don't spend it on poverty. instead the states get to spend it however they want, as long as they can claim (without any proof needed) that the intent is to reduce poverty. so most use it to plug their own budget holes, particularly in education. nationally only about 12% of those who need/qualify for TANF actually receive it. that's why it hasn't done squat for poverty: because welfare reform was ultimately a lie. the old actual welfare system was an entitlement like SS: if you were below poverty line, you qualified and got money. period. the new one has instead had the opposite effect, of increasing poverty instead of decreasing it. meanwhile the rest of the western world still has a basic entitlement form welfare, and the result is their poverty rates went down. but then the point behind their systems isn't the same as our "welfare reform" really was: welfare reform was simply racism, a means of denying minorities a way up as they were perceived to be undeserving.
-the abuse is largely a myth as always has been. the famous "welfare queen" Reagan talked about? a single middle class white woman who was caught and sent to jail. though the image in most conservatives minds is an unmarried black women with a dozen kids (re: racism). in reality, for the reasons state above, she actually isn't like to be receiving any TANF.
-SNAP moved to cards because its cheaper/easier to administer, and because it makes it even easier to detect fraud. not that fraud was rampant before: it wasn't. but the elimination of paperwork, paper stamps, and addition of computers reduced overhead and administration costs, and computers can sort quickly though the data much quicker, and the result is fraud, already low, was reduced to less than 4%. which, compared with the economic stimulus effect (every dollar spent on SNAP generates over 2$ in economic activity) means its practically negligible while the program actually helps boost the economy.
-the list of eligible food items never changed. enforcement was always essentially the job of the cashier to ring up the items properly. cards/computers make that task easier. your "extremely large" comment is nothing but "extremely large" pile of BS. no, the money was not going to alcohol or cigarettes. cashiers who allowed such transactions lose their jobs, because companies that allow such transactions risk losing the privilege of participate in the program.
-the idea behind the basic check is that there are no restrictions. you spend it on whatever. so again your comment is ignorant.
-and then you devolve into some typical ignorant strawman comment on communism, china, etc, building another mountain of BS, once again ignoring what REAL welfare states look like, and how they are not only higher than the US on the freedom index, but the economic and poverty ones too.
oh btw, as China's economy has improved, so has the status of their citizens, including the poor. their poverty rate is comparable to the US's. and if the trend continues, within 20 years it be less than ours. their social support programs are stronger than ours, and their minimum wage is far higher, being pegged to 40% of the average urban salary.
so as I said: learn what youre talking about. and maybe stop picking china as your strawman while youre at it.
no, actually, welfare aka TANF is a flat 16.5 billion dollar block grant divided among the states (that is totally unadjusted for inflation), and has been since 1996 when Clinton signed the welfare reform bill into law.
the majority of which states don't even spend on poverty (average rate is that only about 12% of people who actually need/qualify for welfare actually get it, nationwide), but rather as a means of patching up holes in their budgets, which is legal as long as they can tangentially connect it to the concept of preventing poverty.
the first year it was law ~10 million people received assistance from it. within a few years that number fell to only 4 million, while the number who actually need its assistance has only grown, not lessened, and the poverty rate remained unchanged.
which part is racebaiting scumbaggery? the part where he ended the recession? the part where he began winding down one of the longest periods of warfare we've known? or maybe the part where we've had the longest period of sustained economic growth...basically ever? I could go on.
the point is you are posting 100% delusional garbage.
The most qualified person in years, with the best fact checking record of any candidate, with no major skeletons in the closet (beyond 100% manufactured unsubstantiated garbage) runs for president.....against Trump who is the complete polar opposite in each of those categories...
and we're supposed to believe she's the "crooked" one.
that is how delusional American politics have become.
we already seen how this plot line plays out in the US a few decades ago.
In a landmark compromise, in return for massive tax breaks and credits, to the tune of 300+billion dollars (guessing maybe 400-500+ in todays dollars), they were supposed to roll out high speed internet infrastructure nationwide using the money they didn't pay in taxes.
Instead they just pocketed the cash, and padded their profits, and have yet to be held accountable for the swindle.

This is incorrect.
Not where your posts are concerned.
except for the fact the case was dropped by the republican administration before Obama even became president.
and lets not also forget the facts of the case you mentioned:

Both are 100% unqualified
Cause no one has ever become president after being a state legislator, senator, or secretary of state before, let alone all of those things....
what's it like to be so deluded?
must be that new English, where "constantly trying" has the same meaning as "has introduced 0 proposals or policies to do so".
yes, but you're ignorant, so who cares what your opinion on the subject is?
because what bush did wasn't destabilizing in the least...
the only thing you said that isn't more delusional BS is the bit of about whistleblowers.
again you get proven wrong yet AGAIN.
ever get tired of your BS being pointed out?
which part is racebaiting scumbaggery?
the part where he ended the recession?
the part where he began winding down one of the longest periods of warfare we've known?
or maybe the part where we've had the longest period of sustained economic growth...basically ever?
I could go on.
the point is you are posting 100% delusional garbage.
cause mass shootings never happened before the black guy got into the white house?
shutup idiot.
I love this argument.
The most qualified person in years, with the best fact checking record of any candidate, with no major skeletons in the closet (beyond 100% manufactured unsubstantiated garbage) runs for president.....against Trump who is the complete polar opposite in each of those categories...
