The Washington Post is
finally getting around to exposing the threat the NBPP poses to America. After a brief summary of the story, they add the inevitable he said/she said:
Abigail Thernstrom, a commission member and a senior fellow at the conservative Manhattan Institute, called it "small potatoes" and said conservatives should pursue more important issues against the Obama administration.

Thernstrom said that she did not find Adams's testimony convincing and that the facts of the case raised doubts in her mind, noting that the Black Panthers were standing in front of a majority-black precinct that had voted overwhelmingly for Democrats in previous elections -- not a prime
spot for intimidating white voters.
Todd Gaziano, director of the center for legal and judicial studies at the conservative Heritage Foundation who also serves on the commission, disagreed.
"Anyone who has seen the video and who reads [Adams's] testimony knows this is something that needs to be investigated," he said.
Thernstrom offers a fact to support her position. Gaziano essentially says that he believes this needs to be investigated. A pox on both their houses, I say.
