Megyn Kelly: Is my coverage of the Black Panther case racist?
posted at 5:04 pm on July 14, 2010 by Allahpundit
Radioactive fallout from the nuclear exchange with KP, who’s conspicuously missing from this segment. Playing her part here — and showing/receiving vastly more respect — is Juan Williams. In fact, this is almost a bizarro-world version of yesterday’s screamfest as JW makes most of the same points KP did albeit in a more politic manner: Yes, he concedes, the DOJ’s decision to drop the Panthers case is a legit story (something she didn’t admit initially but went on to say later in the segment), but absent a formal finding that it was part of a program of bias inside the Department, the relentless coverage feels like racial scaremongering. Was that so hard?
Exit question: Should I be worried that KP hasn’t been on since the big dust-up with Kelly? Gulp.

Second that. Now, how about a motion that Eric Holder and Justice are racist? (and very probably, obama)
jeanie on July 14, 2010 at 6:39 PM
….You seem to be so upset about race and how it is used…except when it is liberals that are being shown to be racist.
..you have zero credibility.
You whine about people here making defensive comments….
…….yet you have no condemnation for liberals who are calling for the genocide of white people and the liberals who support them.
Your faux and selective outrage is pathetic but predictable coming from a liberal.

Nope. She put on FB that she will be on Fox at 9:30 tomorrow morning. Safer hour there I guess.

No “news” network spends as much time discussing itself than Fox News (especially Bill O’Reilly).
Tonight’s topic: Me, me, me!
YYZ on July 14, 2010 at 6:51 PM
The whole dust up was perfectly legitimate, differences of opinion, and M’s was the stronger and winning side.
jeanie on July 14, 2010 at 6:56 PM
Obama’s silence means assent.
Assent to the deepening of the racial divide in this country for purely political purposes(mid-term elections). It is a disgrace. It should be an impeachable offense.
And Michelle Obama?
Imagine Laura Bush being the keynote speaker at a John Birch Society convention. That’s basically what Michelle Obama did yesterday. She is a disgrace as well.
I can’t wait to send them both packing in 2012.

Sir, You have a very serious problem with intellectual honesty. Sometimes you come across as semi reasonable. Usually not. You won’t change any minds with your diatribes but I don’t really think that is your purpose.
If you are unable to see how even your screen name colors your world than I do feel somewhat sorry for you.
arnold ziffel on July 14, 2010 at 6:58 PM
All these race-baiters who claim that Megyn is racist for exposing racism in the DOJ: Where were you exactly when the Left was calling Bush racist after Katrina? You know, the race-baiters who endlessly played Kanye West’s clip saying Bush hates black people?
Tantor on July 14, 2010 at 6:59 PM
Not really. I’s symbolic of the Department of Justice under “Honest Eric” Holder. All decisions are based on race or politics.

I appreciate Megyn Kelly’s reporting on the DOJ dropping the charges against the Black Panther party. Her interview with the whistle blower was very interesting given the fact that DOJ refuses to answer subpoena. Megyn is doing her job; it’s what reporters do. Well, except for CBS’ Bob Shiffer. During his face-to-face interview with Eric Holder last Sunday, Shiffer failed to ask Holder why charges against Black Panther party were dropped.
TN Mom on July 14, 2010 at 7:24 PM
I was wondering when you would show up in this thread. Did I miss it when you denounced Mr. Shabazz – the guy who got let off – for saying ‘we gotta kill some crackers’ and ‘we gotta kill some cracker babies’? Who is the one trying to incite violence? I think it is the New Black Panther Party – same as the old Black Panther Party, they just haven’t started killing yet.

People trying to bury this story on racial grounds are trying to bury the alleged voter intimidation, just like they tried to bury the ACORN voter fraud flap under charges of racism.

They buried the story. THAT should be the story.

Obamma and his ilk have put back race relations 100 years.
The sad part is alot of Americans that just happen to be black are going to pay the price.
ColdWarrior57 on July 14, 2010 at 7:43 PM
Megyn Kelly’s coverage is not racist. The fact that two members of the New Black Panthers were standing in front of a polling place with night sticks talking about the man Obama going to win and then frightening the GOP poll watcher, and then the DOJ looking at the case and dropping it, and then a whistleblower saying it was based on race. No, her coverage isn’t racist. She’s covering a black vs. white racism case. She should be proud. I’m proud of her!
Oink on July 14, 2010 at 7:59 PM
Seriously? You can’t think of any on your own?
YYZ on July 14, 2010 at 8:00 PM
I have never seen anyone on this site talk about preparing for a Race War. They have discussed being prepared for our money not being worth anything and the need to be out of debt, stocked with supplies and having a talent with which they might barter. And those conversations were around the time of the financial “crisis”. You see every utterance in the context of race.

sicoit on July 14, 2010 at 8:26 PM
There’s a simple way to find out if the idiot Holder is refusing to prosecute blacks, -let those in the DOJ testify in Congress or in the Civil Rights Commission about what they know. Any democratics asking the administration to let them testify? I wonder why?
If the progressives think Christian Adams perjured himself in testimony in front of the Civil Rights Commission, let a court look into that by calling witnesses to see if his testimony can be corroborated. Any democratics pushing for perjury charges? I wonder why?

Rogue administration delivering

hillbillyjim on July 14, 2010 at 8:46 PM
When any of those groups post themselves outside of polling places, and the DOJ inexplicably refuses to press prosecution, your analogy will be a little more logical.
ddrintn on July 14, 2010 at 8:51 PM
Anyone who has watched Fox News Sunday’s Panel knows exactly where Juan Williams would be on this issue. He will support and endorse any vile act that Obama and his crew does. Notice, how the Juan Williams group continues to throw Bush into the mix. Keep up the good work Megyn.

Arguing with idiot ? Again ?
macncheez on July 14, 2010 at 9:03 PM
I can’t think of an instance where these groups you mention were given a free pass by the DoJ; if they had been it would be news for national consumption and condemnation.
You have beat this particular dead horse to death ever since the Shabazz tapes hit the ‘tubes. You’re losing credibility by the hour. You have completely jumped the shark with your insinuative missive towards Tony737.
Do you seriously believe that a video of a couple of skinhead thugs with billy clubs at a polling place or shouting about killing (insert your favorite racial epithet here) babies wouldn’t be roundly condemned here?
Dude.
hillbillyjim on July 14, 2010 at 9:05 PM

Liberty or Death on July 14, 2010 at 9:43 PM
Are these within the DOJ? The Obama admin? Do they have any real power?
If not, then why raise their sick prestige to that of the POTUS? the DOJ?
As deflections go, that was a bad one.
Be it NBPP members, neo-Nazis or Skinheads is not the point, its not even the subject.
The subject/ point is why did the DOJ drop the case after they had won?
Substitute “NBPP members” with “neo-Nazis” or “Skinheads’, The “Obama admin” with any “unknown admin”, Would it be okay with you if they just dropped the case after winning it?
Would it be okay with you if they stonewalled legitimate questions as to why they dropped it?
DSchoen on July 14, 2010 at 9:47 PM
– TRC
You live on another planet if think I wouldn’t complain about two skinheads hanging around the polling station and threatening people with nightsticks … as I walk in with MY BLACK WIFE to vote. Nah, I’d be ok with that, right? Only in YOUR little mind.
– Jim (speaking to TRC)
Thanks Jim, I wouldn’t have even known he was talking to me until I saw your post. I guess in his mind I’d be ok with a neo-nazi calling for the death of black babies because MY babies are only HALF black! Haha
Tony737 on July 14, 2010 at 9:59 PM

If Ojesus & Co. are trying to polarize this nation, they’re doing a bang-up job.
hillbillyjim on July 14, 2010 at 10:12 PM
Since Megyn DID rant on a fellow Fox, and since Fox IS Fair and Balanced, especially on matters of race, they brought in Juan Williams to play Uncle Remus. :rollseyes:
Holder is right. America is truly cowardly when it comes to being honest about her ongoing legacy of slavery. The Incident in Philly is played out in Black enclaves all across America every election cycle. Meet the New boss; same as the old boss.

fossten on July 14, 2010 at 11:05 PM
Who says we don’t get excised when we see neo-nazi, skinhead, white-power azzholes? Hate is hate my friend regardless of skin color in my book, yet it seems according to you hate is only truly hate if it’s dished out by white people! So who is more colorblind? I would say myself and most other HA commenters, not you!
I would be just as livid if it were Skinheads at this polling station wearing their uniforms, brandishing a club, and using racial slurs! In addition I would be just as vocal and pissed if they weren’t prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law as should have been done with the Black Panther members that were clearly there to incite voter intimidation!
Somehow I believe The Race Card doesn’t believe these Black Panther members were intimidating voters so here’s the sworn statement given by Bartle Bull, he was a longtime civil rights activist and former aide to Sen. Robert F. Kennedy’s 1968 presidential campaign (emphasis mine):
Mr. Bull dedicated many years to the civil rights cause in order to ensure minorities have their say through their vote, the mere fact the Black Panther’s did this was a complete and total affront to a man dedicated to their civil rights at a time when doing so placed himself and his family in peril and this is how they thank him?!?! They may as well have urinated on him; it would have been less disrespectful!
Liberty or Death on July 14, 2010 at 11:27 PM
The KP/JW/Leftist Obammunist/General Gashole argument appears to be: since there is no FORMAL finding of a pattern at DOJ, even though there are plenty of examples and allegations from credible former prosecutors who were there, we should ignore the story of this incident. Then, when the next one pops up, same deal, deep-six the coverage. And when the next “isolated” case is exposed, forget that, too.
`

The Left is pure evil, here as elsewhere, now as historically.
Adjoran on July 15, 2010 at 1:00 AM
It’s a common tactic for leftists to troll what they consider to be “right-wing blogs” either trying to aggravate a racist comment out of someone or just to post mirroring views for a while then post something racist themselves, then link to it on Kos/DU/HuffPo etc to “prove” how evil the right is.
TRC’s not just a troll, and a contemptible liar, but a saboteur as well. I don’t know why that’s tolerated – differences of opinion are not just fine but dandy, but deliberate and repeated lies and false accusations and generally “*****ing on the rug” shouldn’t be acceptable.
I wish Happyfeet hadn’t gone back to Protein Wisdom, but frankly he earned the ban here, others have too, but haven’t got it.
I don’t run the place, I can just shake my head.

Bradky on July 15, 2010 at 8:22 AM
This is how the black racists and the MSM marginalize and silence anyone who disgrees with them. Just label them racist. It’s time for this to come to a stop.
TrickyDick on July 15, 2010 at 8:26 AM
And the way for the GOP to address it is to be candid about the facts. If all people are created equal then all races have the same capacity for racist behavior.
If you agree with that statement take it to another level – say for the sake of argument that 5% of all people are racist. Percentage wise there are just as many black racists as white or any other group. But the acknowledgement that needs to be made is that simple demographics of the population (70% white 15% black) translates to a 4 to 1 ratio of white racists to black racists.
On the positive side that would mean that there is only a 5% chance that someone is racist. Most people are not racist and they know that. Don’t take offense for a mischaracterization – you come off sounding like you are defending the true racists, instead blunt it with rational arguments.
You might be surprised at how well that works.
Bradky on July 15, 2010 at 8:35 AM

Extrafishy on July 15, 2010 at 8:57 AM
If she is racist for pointing out someone has testified about a racist policy, and therefore saying the Obama Admin is playing racial polotics, then the following are racist as well….
NAACP
Every Democrat
Everyone at MSNBC
Everyone at CBS news
Everyone at ABC News
Everyone at CNN
Everyone on PBS (Especially Grover)
Hollywood
and so on….
jeffn21 on July 15, 2010 at 9:01 AM
THIS IS ALL JUST ABOUT POLITICS……
Is the right using the Panthers as the “boogeyman” to gin up their base in the same way that Michelle O and the NAACP were trying to gin up theirs this past week?
I mean in the grand scheme of things WHO CARES what these clowns say? Are we too be outraged by every nut who has a functioning Mouth, voice box and tongue? Yes, Pete Stark is a NUT, Yes the Panthers are dangerous, yes, the DOJ is slack on this case. We get it. Sorry I just can’t get all worked up about this one with so much other crap out there to take issue with (Cap & Trade, Financial “Reform”, Primaries, and NOVEMBER…..)
And a SHOUT OUT TO GEORGE W. BUSH for making the Obama / Dems case by coming out with a book right around the November election (to remind everyone that yes BHO inherited all this “mess”, BLAH BLAH BLAH).

David2.0 on July 15, 2010 at 9:08 AM
The “narrative” of this particular story is that African-Americans are intimidated at the polls by the racists of their own skin color. This has been going on for decades and is aided and abetted by the enablers, black and white, in the Democrat Party who put votes before human dignity. The NBPP just got caught.
That is the usual rhetorical tactic used by people who don’t actually want to speak honestly about race in America. Demonize anyone who dares to state the obvious: African Americans are treated like serfs of the Democrat Party. And it is happening with intimidation and violence when necessary.
Could you be any more vague? Let’s say it plainly: No one, especially other African Americans, are allowed to come to the aid of African American serfs.
And just how, I ask, are these pathetic white stereotypes guilty of intimidating Black voters? The correct answer is that they are used in cheap propaganda by -you- to dispirit black voters, most of whom know the color of the real intimidators.
This conservative opposes “bigots” of any kind who perpetrate or allow the intimidation of any persons on the base of race, color, creed, or sexual preference. And I know that the overwhelming majority of those who call themselves conservative in this time and place agree with me.
This isn’t about white fear-mongering TRC. It is about black fear-mongering that has metastasized into a quasi-military power exercised within the African American communities across America by other blacks who are supported by black and white political barons within the Democrat Plantation House.
Randy
williars on July 15, 2010 at 9:14 AM
Allahpundit, you leave your headline hanging in your write up, AS IF Megyn Kelly would stoop so low as to ask for public confirmation that she did not cover the Black Panthers as a racist with KP.
maverick muse on July 15, 2010 at 9:24 AM
Armstrong Williams nails this in the last minute. The issue is not about about inflamming racial tensions but wether justice has been done against voter intimidation.
Liberal folks like Power and Juan Williams are trying to move the goal posts here.
Bringing up whether there was voter intimidation during the Bush election only proves the point that it is wrong regardless who the victim or transgressor are.
Defending the DoJ for dropping this case says one thing, justice should be applied differently for different people.
shick on July 15, 2010 at 9:24 AM
Completely on point.
xax on July 15, 2010 at 9:31 AM
When a lawyer has to resign his job just to testify (which the DOJ did have to do) THAT is news.
When the defendant’s in a case are convicted and THEN the prosecutor drops the case, THAT is news.
When the defendant later is shown inciting violence and murder (“we gonna have to kill their cracker babies”) THAT is news.
And when all the news outlets except Fox run away from those stories, THAT is news too!

PappyD61
You’re right, I agree.
Conservatives, Moderates and Independents need not “use” the Black Panther bogeyman–Obama already used them. Everyone responds at the polls.
Threatening violence to promote racial superiority at the expense of all others (regardless whether minority or majority) gets reactions from everyone.
So the questions are whether this backfires on Obama in elections. And that depends upon whether the majority of American blacks WANT to play the perpetual victim that they endorse violence in order to coerce American tax funds to squander in further corruption (that being Obama’s forte).
Just as Americans argue for “moderate Muslims” to stand up against the radical Jihadists in their midst, Americans argue for every American to take responsibility for producing a life of liberty as equals under the law.
Personally and culturally, everyone needs to get over the damned xyz chips on shoulders, regardless of hue, thinking themselves to be “more special” than others.
The Democrat Party will never allow liberty. And without liberty, life is daily death.
maverick muse on July 15, 2010 at 9:43 AM
Americans who vote were offended that the NBP would actually threaten peace as they did. But no one confronted the Black Panthers with any threat of violence at the scenes AND SUBSEQUENTLY, not from cowardice, but by bravery passing them by on their way through the doors. Yes, the cowards turned their backs and failed to vote. But no one violated the Black Panthers in the wrong BECAUSE WE TRUSTED OUR GOVERNMENT TO FUNCTION.
What Obama and Holder have done is to destroy all hope in trust that our government functions according to law.
THAT is why turning out to vote, regardless of threats or disillusionment, matters more than ever from now on.
maverick muse on July 15, 2010 at 9:48 AM
The NBPP member was trying to raise racial hatred against whites when he shouted, “we gonna have to kill their cracker babies”.
Foxnews was pointing this out.
Liberals on the other hand say, “Why are you showing this? Are you trying to incite racial fears?”
WHAT? This line of arguing is completely irrational and demonstrates a form of madness. Madness can strike anyone at anytime. Pride is the chief weakness of the host in which madness latches securely onto.
shick on July 15, 2010 at 10:08 AM
Last night, O’Reilly was trying to get Mark Lamont Hill to explain why the NAACP sanctioned the Tea Party and let the NBPP slide. He refused to answer, side-stepping like a football safety. Meghyn and Fox News needs to keep covering this issue.

Why is Allah mischaracterizing (today), KP’s statements yesterday? He’s giving her FAR TOO MUCH credit for a coherent argument.
Here let me help you out here Allah … here’s what KP said.
1. The BP story … Yawn!
2. Okay, well maybe there is something there … but you’re racist to cover it.
3. And besides, no voters were intimidated … and yeah – I totally disregard the testimony of the DoJ whistleblower because he’s just another conservative troll because he’s saying things I don’t agree with. Who are you going to believe? Me? Or this troll who was actually there?
4. Okay – well maybe there were some voters intimidated – sorry I didn’t actually READ the testimony so I guess I got that part wrong … Yawn! whatever.
5. Hey I talked to some of my buddies in the DoJ – so I know everything about this case that I need to know. Who needs to bother with boring transcripts?
6. Okay, so maybe I’m not prepared to debate you on this Megyn – but … This is really ALL George Bush’s fault.
– KP was pathetic – she didn’t do her homework and she defended the indefensible. She’s grown lazy and arrogant – she’s not on Kelly’s show because she doesn’t add any value to the discussion anymore.
HondaV65 on July 15, 2010 at 11:38 AM
No “lamestream media or news outlet” covers for Obowma more than CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, MSLSD, CNBC, Time magazine, Newsweek, New York Times, LA Times, Boston Globe, Boston Herald, Atlanta Journal Constipation, San Fran Chronicle, Houston Chronicle, Chicago Tribune, Associated Press International, United Press International, ESPN, Letterman, Leno, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Rolling Stone magazine, Life magazine, Esquire magazine, Jet, Ebony, Miami Herald, Arizona Republic, Seattle PI, The Oregonian…..
Odd? All of these are losing viewers and subscribers except one: Fox News.
Until Obowma can enact the “fairness doctrine” which is laughable. Liberals believe only 100% or greater liberal viewpoint is not enough.
dthorny on July 15, 2010 at 11:50 AM
I would assume that Fox is simply taking the focus off of her, for her own ratings, by giving her a bit of a break from focus.
She’s very partisan, though. I honestly usually switch to Chuck Todd for more objective reporting.
AnninCA on July 15, 2010 at 11:53 AM

Try to follow the liberals logic on the “racist antics” of Tea Party Conservatives:
The racist signs…that NO ONE has seen or photographed.
Libs spit upon….that he now refutes and just made up.
The N word used……that was never heard or recorded.
Andrew Breitbart offered $100,000 to prove ANY of this on
video or recording and NOTHING so far.
Recent Democrat history:
Dems against racial tolerance and blacks rights.
Pro Jim Crow Laws.
Dems blocked blacks from Atlanta schools.
KKK Byrd (D-WV) member and RECRUITER for the KKK.
KKK was the strongarm of the democrat party.
Inner city poverty and dependent on gov’t support.
Abortion devised as racial eugenics by Margeret Sanger.
Obowma uses race as a dividing tool for politics:Alinsky.
Looks like the liberal “glass house” needs cleaning.

It doesn’t take a genius to extrapolate from this incident. And if you think political intimidation isn’t part of the daily lives of folks in “that” part of town, you haven’t been paying attention to what happens to “the wrong” black people from Justice Thomas to the poor guy beaten up in St. Louis this spring. Remember the video of Obama’s storm troopers in training? And what do you think about the use of dead people and felons? Why do you think that there aren’t more black folks speaking out about this crap? Finally, let me ask you: Is the NBPP alive and well in the black communities across America?

I wouldn’t have a problem with this story if every white racist that intimidated blacks received this much media attention. It still happens in this country and it happens at polling places without this amount of noise from Fox.
It’s impressive for Fox News to find a conservative black commentator to express a point of view that 5% of black Americans in this country would agree with, making Juan sound like he’s out on a limb. Fair and balanced.

KP has chip on her shoulder, Juan does not, you could see Kirsten gearing up to hijack the segment from the get go and then when confronted she angrily spewed the liberal excuse machine talking points, Megyn wasn’t having any of it.
Interesting, now, the left wants to separate polling intimidation from the Black Liberation Theology which is the direct cause but still wants to stick illegal and legal immigration in the same category?
The never ending liberal hypocrisy.

I just think that Kirsten Powers had a bad day. I have never seen her lose her temper before and frankly I want to write it off as just a bad moment (we all have them ) for her. I am sure that MK and KP both regret how that went down.

No, he cannot. He’s way too short for the job.

I’m with Bartle Bull.

Late to the party. I can see why MK is po’d at KP. She doesn’t know what she is talking about.
KP says there was no intimidation.
MK points out that there was testimony that there was evidence of intimidation.
KP says it’s moot because they got an injunction against them.
MK says the injunction were either downgraded or dismissed after they were won.
KP says Boooooooooooooosh!
KP is a lousy debater. If she is not going to address the issues, MK has the right to stop her from promulgating a lies about what occurred.

Megyn did what a good journalist should. There are just so few left anymore on TV,people forgot what it was like. The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. God love her!
NOT racist!

These guys stood in front of a polling place calling people racial slurs and threatening people with a weapon. It was all caught on video.
They got away with a slap on the wrist.
You have to be an absolute effing moron to not understand why this is a big deal.
Maybe it was only one polling place in 2008. But what is stopping NBPP from doing this 100x over in 2012? It obviously worked the first time.
