The New Black Panthers certainly think they are the Black Panthers (though the old ones disavow them) and are certainly every bit the racist thugs the originals were.

The issue is that the Obama justice department ( I know you took issue with that but Eric Holder is Obama's man and he is AG ) dropped the voter intimidation suit some of those career people filed against the NBPP - and that can only happen with approval of the AG.

I do agree that Obama is no "radical" in the NBPP sense. But if Bush had to take hits for all the wacko right-wing nutjobs whose support he curried, Obama has to eat NBPP, Code Pink, Acorn, and Ayers.

I think Obama's personal disdain for simple-minded people makes him feel he is insulated from association with people he uses - Wright and the Code Pink people being a good examples - because privately he thinks they are fools and he has no compunction about telling everyone what they want to hear.
