Fox News Raises Specter Of New Black Panthers To Stoke Fears Of Racial Violence In Missouri

Fox News host Martha MacCallum hyped fears that the New Black Panther Party is pushing racial violence following an FBI report that one member of the group was on the ground in Ferguson, Missouri following the tragic shooting death of an unarmed black teenager.

Michael Brown, an 18-year-old unarmed African American, was killed at the hands of a Ferguson police officer after an alleged confrontation with the officer. Following Brown's death, a series of tense protests broke out in the town. According to the LA Times, the largest protests have been peaceful, but some looting and vandalism has occurred at night.

The constant drum beat of Fox Noise's fear-and-loathing keeps the Faithful Fox Sheeple in line.

The same assholes lose their minds if you so much as whisper that the Cliven Bundy Defense League are a bunch of Klan types.

and they have been trying to keep the peace. Several reporters have made comments about them during this hot mess.
Faux will misrepresent their actions.

Of harassing people at the polls? Usually it's Glenn Beck who spreads the NBP rumors.

must be the bad guys (not that they exist), and not the police. But, where are all those running for office in 2016 and not saying a damned thing....and I'm looking at you Hillary. We've heard from the President and even Rand Paul even if you don't trust him. Why am I hearing crickets in that direction.
