<DIV>Pat,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>FACT CHECK:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>1) Thou shalt not judge</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>2) It was not the Black Panthers that gave the endorsement, this is the New Black Panthers created in 2001, a non-violent group</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>3) The Obama campaign did not post it on the website, it was posted on the Blog without the consent of Obama or his staff, it was a community site where bloggers and fans of Obama post material., kind of like Vision 2020. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>4) It was removed from the board within hours of its posting. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>So before we all get judgmental, and start calling people racists, please check your facts.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><A
