Let the freepers mess with these guys! Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

Remember to take your video cameras with you.

1. Who the hell are these guys?

If they're done voting, looks to me like they need to get lost.

22. Rumor is the guy talking in the video is Samir Shabazz

Hes not an Obama supporter.

* On Barack Obama and voting: "He's a puppet on a string. I don't support no black man running for white politics. I will not vote for who will be the next slavemaster." Besides, he added, Obama is "a Negro who doesn't even support reparations for black people in America."

An obvious RW plant!

2. What were they there for?

I would be scared to go in to vote if I saw people out front with clubs. There was guys in line with me this morning in army fatigues and that threw me when I first walked up till I figured out they were in line.

3. Rush is all over this shit.

someone get those fuckers outa there.

[FVZA_Colonel]

4. Haven't they already been sent away?

I think this is all over with.

[sarah FAILIN]

9. Listen to it again

Someone says in the background they're calling the police at the end. Who knows what these guys were doing, but maybe it got straight.

6. Just great. Who needs that BS today of all days. Go home and soak your heads.

[Poll_Blind]

7. Only a bully stands outside a calm poling place with a billy club.

I don't care if they're from the left or right. Fuck them!

12. Two guys from Central Casting can do it too!!

This may be a dirty trick. Consider the anonymous source in Arizona.

[Poll_Blind]

14. I also believe this may be a dirty trick.

  Everything comes together very conveniently, very quickly. To wit, the follow-up here where the police show up and break it up- there's a nice little graphic bumper preceding the footage.

  This is arguably a hoax perpetrated to reinforce the anti-black stereotypes.

8. they are probably there because of the crap the thugs are pulling today

he's in an obviously predominately black precinct taking pics with his camera phone and clearly, by the conversation he had with security, wasn't displaying his press credentials on the outside of his jacket like the press is supposed to do. He said he had some kind of pass to go inside--well, wear that on the outside of your jacket so that security can see it.

Everyone is hypersensitive today over the thugs trying to deny blacks their right to vote.

all this guy accomplished was looking and sounding stupid. I want to see all of what he shot before making a judgment against the security guards. The thugs are trying to steal this election any way they can and it's a good thing that this polling place ain't tolerating any shit from mouthy people with camera phones.

[sarah FAILIN]

11. Weren't the people going in and out of the building mainly white?

Even if they were "security", why have the clubs out playing with them and being so confrontational about the camera? We just don't need anything negative today.

[sarah FAILIN]

13. nevermind, looks like security or pollwatchers standing around.

still strange

[ryanmuegge]

10. Paid GOP plants used to rile up racist white voters.

[Reform]

15. Thats what it seems like

just makes no sense why they would be out there with a club eye balling everyone.

[captainjack08]

16. GOP Paid Agent Provocateurs....

Paid to spook white people. Come on... what else could it be? Just like the Philly girl who painted a black eye on her face... more Rove hijinks... these guys could be legit but I suspect they are paid to be there to scare white people on the way into the polls. Look at the people outside. They are mostly white.

You think cops are gonna let two guys dressed like revolutionaries stand outside a polling area with clubs?

No.

Just long enough for a photo-op.

[NOLALady]

17. Check their faces

for a backwards M. They are as believable as the B Girl.

[pjt7]

18. the kid with the camera is a punk

[951-Riverside]

20. Hes a hero in my eyes for standing up to those thugs.

[mrbarber]

19. Oh for God's sake.....

We do not need some crazy asshats brandishing a billy club outside of a polling place. The Right Wing Media is going to be all over this.

[HPD]

21. They aren't plants

One of the guys live in the building.

They succeeded in helping McCain get the racist vote.

[The Wielding Truth]

24. "The lawyers said. That's why we're here"guy on right said.

What does that mean? Someone asked them to be there?

25. I love the paranoia

clearly rightwing plants, or foxnews just made it all up.

Yeah, because every single crazy asshole in the world is a registered republican, there aren't any of the left side of the aisle. Nope, not a one.

[democracy1st]

26. those guys need to go back to their crack houses and return the gop's money
