Heckling voters? People who are voting? AMERICAN CITIZENS WHO ARE EXCERCISING THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS? I'm at the point where I'm ashamed to be a freakin' Caucasian.
Photographer Joe Eddins and I headed over to the closest one and found a steady line of voters hoping to cast ballots early. Most seemed to be Obama supporters and several had come from the rally. Nearly all the voters were black.
Also at the polling site was a group of loud and angry protesters who shouted and mocked the voters as they walked in. Nearly all were white.
As you can see from these videos, no one held anything back. People were shouting about Obama's acknowledged cocaine use as a young man, abortion and one man used the word "terrorist." They also were complaining that Sundays are for church, not voting.
I gotta say that big guy supporting Obama could have twisted the finger jabber into a pretzle without breaking a sweat. More restraint than I would have had.
