Right wing claims that Black Panthers with clubs outside voting station in Philly is intimidation... |

5. Were there actually Black Panthers... |

standing outside of polling stations with clubs? I don't recall having heard of that.
I guess it's intimidation - unless they were trying to ensure that nobody else showed up to try and intimidate / frighten away minority voters.

6. Right wingers think a group of black people anywhere is intimidation. |
