Republicans protest at North Carolina early voting site

[XrisSmiles]

ha ha, i bet they were sick as dogs that night

[jaay334]

warren its more here in the US because ppl use healthcare here in the US like no one has to pay for it ER visits buy illegals the US tax pay pays for it . Tell me how the US gov thats 14 tillion $ down is going to pay for 300 milliion ppl ?

[ugboy1]

Well well, racist republicans letting themselves be heard. I don't think anyone should be surprised that republicans are racist, they represent that demographic really well.

[FrosChannel]

You can be a republican, but dont be a fucking dick.

[HAFFBAKED]

DON'T BE IMMATURE AT ANY DEGREE....

[sophia2k7]

Republicans are so immature =/

[jgpro]

whats the point of this? for one thing, people are going to vote for who they want to vote for regardless of these protesters. people just needed to go out and vote and stop these child like actions

[cbtalker205]

Child like? this country has been fine for 200 years without a nigger for a leader. You may elect that motherfucking terrorist bitch for the president of America but he won't be my president. And another thing he won't make it a year before someone shoots his black ass.

[Tamaramajamma]

ahhh. the reasoned and wonderful voice of the american dream. what a powerful and moving vision of fine humanity you represent for your country.

of course there is the small problem of Obama winning.

you sound a little threatened, pumpkin... ha ha

[sophia2k7]

hopefully you will move out of the country now then ;) and leave americans in peace.

That comment you made was moronic u gotta admit :D (its okay to laugh at yourself btw, i'm sure many people are already doing it)

[cbtalker205]

fuck you! You nigger loving piece of shit. And I stand by my above comment that he will be shot in the fucking head soon enough.

[warrensson]

You're a disgrace CBTalker. You're a disgrace to the institutions of freedom and democracy.

[cbtalker205]

FUCK YOU! I dont believe I asked you or told you a damn thing. I have only one question. Are all of you dumb asses who voted for this nigger still happy with your choice?

[maryellen728]

Right Wing Christians are such two faced phonies. They love & obey God & Jesus but they hate anyone different from them based on the color of their skin. Scratch a Christian Republican & find the most foul, vile, evil, disgusting violent hate-filled pigs.

BTW, I'm very happy with my choice. I don't give a damn if you asked me or not!

The world is changing & leaving ignorant asses like you behind so go back to your CB radio & the cave you crawled out of dragging your knuckles along the way.

[warrensson]

Thank you formaking your bigotry obvious.

At least we know what we're dealing with when we read your comments.

[doggamer5]

wow this is sad

push for your own team not against the other common people

[yimmy89]

No worries. Republicans will be censored soon.

[spw143]

RePugnants.

You have had 8 yrs of decadence..sickly drunk with it..NOT THIS TIME.

Vote

VoteVOTE

[My1Vote]

Republicans for RALPH NADER !

Vote today 11.4 for NADER/Gonzalez

Just 1 Issue(Amongts many):

If you were AGAINST the BAILOUT and you vote for the McCain/Obama Inc (Both whom voted FOR) - You are betraying yourself, the American people who (like you) HATE the Bailouts (there will be more comming...) and your Country.

VOTE NADER!

[IndianOpinion]

aaaaah poooor republicans...feel unfairly treated? Well, after 8 years you dont deserve anything, and I mean anything fair. So live with it!

[monkeyman1140]

Filthy republicans.

[oldnerdgrl]

This is definately voter intimidation... I really hope this was reported. A bit late now, unless they continue tomorrow. It's worth seeing if it's a legal act.

[hodagmiaz]

Protest? This is voter intimidation pure and simple. These ignoramuses take us back 60 years . Also, where are the police to enforce the 1964 Voting Rights Act???? Hmm'mm.........

[blackdiamondkutz]

ha ha i was there and i voted

[mircuryretro]

Now we're seeing people criticizing others for exercising their right to vote.  What the hell is that supposed to prove or affect? Why don't they go vote themselves? Idiots.

[Nunyaabiz]

Typical Christofascist racism from a bunch of Faux News Rush Limbaugh listening lunatics.

They have absolutely no clue what they are protesting and they are ALL voting against their own best interest.

People this stupid should not be allowed to vote.

[SunnyKid975]

Protesters harassing people going into a voting site is a violation of the Voting Rights Act of 1964.

As Section 11 (b) of the Act clearly states:

No person, whether acting under color of law or otherwise, shall intimidate, threaten, or coerce, or attempt to intimidate, threaten, or coerce any person for voting or attempting to vote, or intimidate, threaten, or coerce, or attempt to intimidate, threaten, or coerce any person for urging or aiding any person to vote or attempt to vote.

[youbetterhide]

Blame it on early election.

[SunnyKid975]

Typical GOP tactics. Here is the usual order:

1) Voter purging/scrubbing- mostly for felons

but now moving on to homeless, foreclosed on.

2) Voter ID matching - prevalent now in Florida - to match a drivers license against central database or surname.

3) Voter disenfranchisement - allowing minimum no. of voting places, no early voting leading to 4-8 hr waits in line or

minimal voting machines.

4) Voter intimidation/protest like here in NC.

5) Voter "caging"/challenges on voting day.

[roughouser13]

This is a bit over the top. I am all in favor of right to assert opinion, but directly at a polling site stirs up thoughts of voter intimidation. Shouldn't there be a law regarding no right to assemble within a 1/4 mile of voting place?

[Emcmxxxvi]

BHO and MICHELLE THE SHE WOLF will not pollute our White House with their BVS ! Search: Obama October Surprise Black Liberation Theology Say hello to Michelle Obama BHO, with HIS MASTERS money is out spending The Hero Warrior 5:1 THEY want to buy the AMERICAN PRESIDENCY. WE, THE PEOPLE WILL NOT ALLOW IT! BHO has 1000:1 videos to bamboozle YOU ! you can NOT post but only "good"comments, THAT IS NOT FREE SPEECH !

[jaim12005]

even if Obama is out spending 'The war hero' 5-1

that should speak volumes to you moron.

5 out of 5 people in this country would rather support and donate thier hard earned money to him rather than your war aged hero & his retarded vp canidate.

it bits you in teh ass that Michelle and her black hair products will be sitting on the white house master bathroom counter doesn't it...Muhahahhaha

I freakin love it! Deal with it!

All men were created equal.

it's never to late to change.

[warrensson]

It seems as though you were quite wrong eh chum?

The people did allow it and the people did have free speech.

McCain made his choice re: accepting public money and, for your purposes, it was the wrong one...I'm fairly sure though that had he not made that decision you wouldn't have been citicising it.

By all means support the person you want to support but don't delve into illogicality or hypocrisy in so doing eh bigboy?

[kulaspurkar]

If Obama is a Socialist - then let it be. No Harm. Capitalism is slowly but surely destroying America.

[nahakala]

"Nobama"?

How do the protesters know who's voting for whom?

Obama/Biden '08 '12

[southerncn]

Voter intimidation: this is what the GOP is good at.

[k9forkids]

You Obama Voters are so un-educated, Why the hell are u even voting for him, Obama is an empty suit. Obama wants to raise your taxes not just if u make over 250k but your 401k as well. He is a fucking socialist! If you don't know what that is I would suggest that you visit Moscow.

All you see is a nigga on stage and u automatically vote for him but don't even know why.

[youbetterhide]

I've realized while checking out the video's posted on youtube and the comments listed below them. Many of the comments typed are done by teens who seem to enjoy your reaction and are looking for some excitment/verbal reaction that they can go back at. They aren't even voting because they can't they are not old enough. Thank God for that. Anyone who considers Obama is just hoping for a free ride, and they are blind because that will never happen. Obama buys his votes McCain has earned them.

[ddeck307]

You may be right about the teens trying to get a reaction, but I am 21 and this is my first election to vote on. I have been doing countless amounts of research. I dont understand your claim of free ride with obama when the republican belief is lower taxes less government. Due to those beliefs Obama is more of a republican than McCain. I am not looking for a free ride. I am also not willing to cast my vote to a man who will give a 1/4 of his tax breaks to housholds making over 2.2 million.

[youbetterhide]

5 percent pay 40 percent of all taxes. If it weren't for them nothing would be there to create business or run this country. Lets finger print welfare recipients we'd save billions lets give a young man who is going to jail a choice to enlist instead that would give him/her a chance to turn around. Let child support run across state bouders so dead beat dads have to pay for their children vs. the states, let health care to do the same, make it competitive to bring cost down. This is change.

[ddeck307]

If you like the fact that 5 percent of people pay for everything. whats wrong with raising their taxes a little more. I dont agree with welfare and i do agree with making dead beat dad OR moms (which was my case) to pay child support across state borders. Health care competitive? That would never work. We also cant leave it the same. Why should we have free school, police, libraries, and not health care. I would rather be able to go to the e.r. for free than read a book for free.

[youbetterhide]

Other countries have free health care but come here for our doctors. We have the best, we can't risk a down grade of our heath care. Others wish they had what we had and many have commented on why would Americans want to trade that in? I live in NY my auto policy is from Conn. it saves me 800 a year on 2vehicles. Allowing companies/individuals to purchase policies out of state would bring down the cost. There are health policies that are available based on income.

[youbetterhide]

Our schools, police and libraries are not free. Who told you that? Homeowners carry all of the school cost it is 2/3 of our residencial tax as well as the libraries, telephone polls, sanitation, street cleaning, fire department. Police is paid for via state tax if "state troopers" or "county tax" if "county police", or if private paid via an addional village tax. Obama is reffering to only Federal Tax it is a small part of the pie.

[youbetterhide]

One more thing, Obama is far from Republican and is not a Democratic either he's just running on their ticket. My son is in college 20 years old, he got a noise ticket for his music being to loud had to do community service. He worked in a soup kitchen it taught him a lesson and he dove head first into his studies. Your education is paramount he's a biotech major who has to work hard. Getting handouts leaves you on a soup line, working hard makes you into something. BE ALL YOU CAN BE!!!!

[spongah]

See.. we're already socialist

[ddeck307]

sorry i waited so long to respond. well you think its ok for our police, library's, fire department, and sometimes garbage service to be SOCIALIZED. But healthcare no? It makes no sense to me. Healthcare is about life and death but you think its ok to have the prices up so high that a guy like me cant afford to go to the hospital when i break a bone or get very very ill? I feel its a travesty that the us healthcare system isnt in the top ten of the world.

[warrensson]

The USA spends more per capita, in the world, on its Healthcare but as you say, isn't rated within the top ten in the world.

What is wrong with this picture?

Well, for one, doctors have to practice so as to avoid being sued for medical malpractice...this does not assist with positive health outcomes *and* it makes healthcare more expensive.

[maryellen728]

The truth is that as payouts for medical malpractice lawsuits have gone down significantly, the insurance premiums have increased dramatically.

Medical malpractice insurance premiums have an inverse relationship to payouts, as payouts go down, premiums go up. Again the insurance companies lie & convinced the public that big payouts cause increases in insurance premiums & the cost of healthcare. Doctors protect bad doctors & the insurance companies blame injured patients for their own greed.

[warrensson]

This is one more reason to move towards socialised healthcare system, like the rest of the first world.

I'll say it again, because it bears repeating:

The USA spends more per capita, in the world, on its Healthcare but isn't rated within the top ten healthcare systems in the world.

[warrensson]

Go look up the definition of "Socialism" in an austere publication such as the Encyclopaedia Brittanica and then get back to us about reason why you think the USA is already socialist.

[Obviously]

Do they realize they're protesting against democracy? I mean I'm all four a healthy protest and people exercising their First Amendment rights I just think it's a little silly when you step back and look at it.

[majorbored12]

they don't like democrats voting?? what?? sorry but thats democracy.

[dweeze4444]

Get used to the idea of Barack Obama being your commander and cheif LOSERS. McCain is a joke and Palin is a MORON!!!

OBAMA/BIDEN 08 and 2012!!!

[stewart0312]

GOP hates Democracy

[bsahle]

This what I call anti American. People have the right to vote in this country well they did up untill this day. What a shame.

[ingthingram]

Unpatriotic!! UnAmerican!! UNLAWFUL!! Thank God the end of the Bush regime is near!!! if you havent voted for OBAMA, you still can. GO VOTE, OBAMA!

[Abashi76]

North Carolina is a red state.

[cls8808]

Hopefully not this year.

[peymaania]

My Oh My, where's my Southern Fried Chicken,

my Banjo and my Mint Julep? Poor Obamicans being hayrASSed by White Trash. Well it serves them right, thinking a colored man can ever get into the White House. It's called the White House for a Reason, and it ain't cuz it looks white! It means Whities House!

Poor Hussein Obama, even if he's elected

the KKK is just gonna shoot him down, just like they did in April of 68 to MLK.

[westkan]

Shoot at, and hit, or shot at, and missed ya better hope neither happens to Obama. The shrub has put in place the mechanism where Obama or Biden, can rule absolutely if they wish, McCain as well, if he get's the win. Our Constitution has been gutted, by the republicans.

[MissNophi2U]

Now if only they put that much energy into things that actually would help Americans. Teach a child to read, we know they can spell! WTF!

At this point they might as well be working for the Obama-Biden campaign. They are just keeping us motivated & reminding us why this election matters.

Obama-Biden '08

Let's make it a Landslide

[barbaradering]

They should be charged an pressed the crimes they are commiting.

I am shocked that this was allowed.

No No No to North Carolina! For shame!

[invisi3ill]

Go to an NFL game as a fan of the away team if you want to see actual harrassment.

[filmprez]

When I see this, I am truly disgusted at our country and our people. What are we back in the 60's? Grow up people. This is the kind of activity and sentiment that is making the Republican party and the Establishment of America so very unattractive to all of humankind. The Establishment of American has to go. The old ways of thinking has to go. This intimidation, "fear me because I am powerful, white, American and strong, has to go.

[Wez666]

What a bunch of dumb fucks.

[FansFiltration]

That is just sick, and truly un-American in every way, shape, and form!

I feel these people would rather live under a christian religious dictatorship.

[CalicoatMaker]

Wonder why they are mad? ASK THEM. They are sick of all the fradulent voter registrations and false absentee votes.

I wish the republicans would cheat at voting so we there will finally be legislation passed to force people to prove citizenship to stay on the roles. Purge everyones name from voting, and let them all produce a passport or birth certificate and pic ID when they register.

Want to see hate? Just look at any thread at DemocraticUnderground messageboard. All violent, hateful posts

[platterat]

They're mad because they're ignorant & being used.

ACORN is REQUIRED by law to turn in ALL registration forms, & flags those thought to be fraudulent. It's a manufactured issue designed to stir up angry Rep's who are going to lose!

Historically, absentee voters are mostly REP'S.

You want voter fraud? Look at problems in 04 with computerized voting machines, who made them, & who controlled their use.

Look at 00 & 04 when 1000's of disenfranchised FL voters were not allowed to cast a ballot.

[vetteg]

what are you talking about Calicoatmaker, republicans have cheated at voting and it has been documented

[bsahle]

Republicans did cheat in Florida I guess you forgot.

[bsahle]

I am all about freedom but this is not freedom this hate. I think we all have the right to vote for whom ever we want to vote. This says a lot about the rep party.

[Animalsneedlove2]

People have the right to protest I agree with that, but this hate is starting to reach dangerous levels. The sad part is the McCain/Palin ticket, and some other Republicans are just igniting a fire that has the potential to burn out of control.

It is a pretty sad day for democracy when you question if for safety reasons maybe you shouldnt wear a T-shirt, Pin, or have a bumper sticker in support of the candidate you support for President.

[lvlyldy19]

They should be thrown in jail for breaking the law!

[mheiseus]

Good keep harassing voters, they just make McCain and Palin look like idiots. I have never seen anything like this in my life.

The audacity of the Fascist Right to try to block the right to vote. How pathetic and ignorant.

Don't be scared of change people.

[djg714]

Scumbags

[ReedMcGowan]

McCain't.

[peymaania]

Well now, are you speaking between the sheets?

I mean the only person who can attest to that would be the perscription drug abuser, our next First Lady, Skanky McCain't! How many folks here know that Rich Bitch with a 200 Million Dollar Fortune is addicted to Oxy-CUNTin? That's right she's just trying to

Oxy-her you know what, cuz it hasn't been

used for so long that its about to fall off!

[raposofan]

A faint fragrance of desperation.

[dn90md]

this shows that we as americans have not come as we think we have and this is just boiled down to one thing ...RACISM!!!

[tanketto]

This looks a little too much like voter protest against blacks in the 60's

[JohnnyFurious]

Wouldn't some of the people voting, most likely be voting for McCain anyway??

Just seems like a good way to make people angry at you and your candidate, for being a bunch of a-holes.

[omjeremy]

WTF is this? How is this legal?

[moosefart]

@Omjeremy

Hey--It's a "free"-country

/despite 8 years of the Patriot Act

//8 trying to intertwine religion & government

///and 8 more years of the disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights

[Batnap2u]

It's not legal - it violates the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

What better way for "Christians" to spend a Sunday than to illegally heckle people as they go to vote?

McCain and Palin need to speak out and totally condemn this behavior. They need to tell all the people who are racist, that they do not want their vote.

[Diesel27000]

@Batnap2u How can you tell what is their religion?

[Revor8453]

Unfortunately not surprising given how vitriolic their base is becoming. Check your civilized behavior at the door when McCain supporters are nearby I guess...

[ouodi]

If I see people protesting at my polling place it won't make me choose their candidate.

[soundfury07]

At least they're 100 feet away as is legal. Why would they think shouting would change anyone's mind? It won't.

[Blac13]

This is an obstruction of democracy if I have ever seen it in my time, and it is illegal. Where were the police?

[jibberjubbers]

Its things like this that make me think, you know, maybe it wouldn't be so bad if a big fat comet came and wiped us all out.

[ibexr88]

Oh come on, protesting outside a rally is one thing, but at a polling place? They're just voting!

[coon35]

Yeah.....Isn't this kind of bullshit illegal?? Is this country going back to the 1850's or something? So bloody pathetic.

[phildeckard]

This is the only way that Republicans can think that they can win. All they're missing are their hoods...

[bsahle]

what do you expect look at the leaders, Mccain and the rest of the rep they are as ignorant as these people. These people watch and learn from the leaders and the result is this.

[RollWithItVideos]

I'm a little confused why Republicans would think it would be a good idea to picket voting? Isn't that the kind of thing that happens in dictatorships?

[Rant93]

LOLZ.

>I'm a little confused why Republicans would...picket voting? Isn't that the kind of thing that happens in dictatorships?

I think you just answered your own question

RollWithItVideos. Dictatorship is fine as long as they feel like the dictator in question is wearing their team colors.

[Leels17]

Wow...intimidation at the polls...shameful.

[hajqbvii]

Protesting someone's right to vote...GOP strategy?...but isn't intimedating and harassing voters a federal crime?

[undeadnow]

Hillbilly's

[samalyn56]

Ignorance runs deep in republican North Carolina...after these people slashed the tires on 30 cars I'm wondering if it will effect voter turn out? I would say they should be arrested, but I'm guessing the cops there are republicans also.

[efeez1986]

McCain supporters = terrorists

[willowswhip]

Honestly, do these morons think they are going to change peoples minds or make them more resolute to vote for obama. Besides, they could be heckling mccain supporters! IDIOTS

[serenityblues]

These people believe in democracy? They call themselves christians? McCain should disqualify himself for promoting this kind of hatred. The media is also guilty. SAD SHAMEFUL

[ihatemyjobmore]

I think anyone that votes for either Obama or McCain are... well just plain stupid. Both of those two bozo's are only going to destroy what's left our republic. And the rest of you are stuck playing the left vs right game thinking there's really a difference, when there's not, what a shame. McCain = Fascist. Obama = Socialist. The lesser of two evils. I'm not playing that game. It's time to vote third party people. It's time to clean house, if your rep voted for the bailout, dont vote for them!

[maxelliott41]

totally agree with you man

[oddjob29]

let me guess... vote ron paul? *looks at page* AH! yeah ok, i want to vote for a racist old man with terrible ideas!?

[ihatemyjobmore]

First of all I don't know where you're getting the racist part from. Second, terrible ideas? If you don't like the constitution this country was founded on then move to China. Oh wait, you probably didn't learn that in school did you kid? Do some home work and get back to me when your all growd up ok.

[Femminista2]

John McCain must denounce these supporters' actions. It's absolutely despicable, not to mention idiotic.

[TokyoNiGHTS1]

He can't, these are the only people he has left. He's spent the last several weeks building up their ignorance and hatred. He can't turn on them now.

[Femminista2]

I really hope you're wrong. But sadly, the McCain-Palin campaign (between the phone calls, Palin's statements at rallies, the behavior and remarks they permit at their events) gives me more reason to agree with you than disagree.

[Euranell]

Blacks Vs Hicks, I'm rooting for the blacks because I hate country music and I also hate guys that call themselves cowboys when all they do is ride their cousins and spit tobacco

[peeenisss]

I made doo doos in my panties.

[WrongPotion]

Repubs or Rethugs?

[frankgug]

I can reply with something that has not been said. THE ONLY THING THESE PEOPLE FORGOT TO DO WAS TO PUT ON THEIR KKK UNIFORMS. PATHETIC. I hope Obama/Biden clean McCains house in NC. You people are better than the example shown here. Thank you.

[dejahthoris]

They forgot their lynching ropes too. And they think they are so very witty by spelling out Nobama- it's pretty sad. If McCain wins it will be because the Republicans steal the election just like they did it in 2000 and 2004. We better be paying attention.

[westkan]

Nobama, McSame, one is no wittier than the other, not an issue. Stealing the vote may be. I can only hope Obama doesn't pull a Gore or a Kerry and recapitulate in the event a McCain win looks hinky.

[waronsuck2178]

@dejahthoris No stealing here. You all though seem to be idiotic enough to linger on Bush. How do you like Obama now? ARe you happy that my grandmother cant afford medication? Or that some of my family who are less fortunate then me are losing their small time business?

[gotthkid2]

@dejahthoris guys it isn't about repuplican or democrat. its the illuminati/elites on the top CONTROLING the government and the president. WAKE UP

[raineydr]

I was going to comment but I can't anything better than what's already been stated already.

We saw Sen. Obama on Sunday and felt so inspired and hopeful that YES WE CAN!!

GOBAMA/BIDEN 'O8

[beautyjbfnc]

thats why im not voting for there old saggy chicken canidate. cause they are brain dead. an erratic just like him

obama oheight!!!!!!!!!

[Jacksonholenativ]

What a bunch of Neandrothals protesting the voting. Stupid idiots.

[OutsideTheBoxTalk]

Harassing people exercising their right to vote is totally un-American and everyone everywhere should stand-up against these pathetic attempts by the Fascist Right to suppress the vote.

[beautyjbfnc]

exactly this should not be allowed seriously having signs is one thing but harrasment is another im serious

[Mmmmmmmbacon]

I've lived in NC all my life....and early voting has been around for years. No one harassed early voters when the Repugs were winning.

What a bunch of infantile jerks Repugs are! Losers in every sense of the word.

[MisiaFine]

I'm disappointed that there weren't more people in line.

Make sure your vote is counted!

VOTE EARLY!!!

[thepoliticalcenter]

Lovely, the McCain-Palin campaign as well as Republican Party has managed to whip supporters into shape as attack dogs that intimidate US citizens from voting.

Talk about Anti-American.

[MisiaFine]

That makes me furious! What terrible people! They don't honestly believe they're going to change anyone's minds, they're just harrassing the voters to try and keep them from voting.

[CoopIsFamous]

those repugs sure have class!
