The Black Panthers Are Coming To YOUR Neighborhood!
Another Townhall.com blogger, Matt Lewis, this time with audio of Rush Limbaugh talking about “Black Panthers [heavy emphasis on those two words], in Philadelphia, intimidating voters.”
“Imagine,” Lewis intones, “if this was Skin Heads in Georgia or Florida trying to intimidate voters.”
