I don't like voter intimidation of any stripe, but it seems that this is clearly the Obama Admin saying that it's not going to do anything when whites are intimidated. I'm not going very far on a limb in saying that had it been the KKK intimidating white voters and saying things like "you're gonna learn what it's like to live under a white president" they'd have long since been found guilty (to say nothing about the media hand wringing).
Yet in this incident, it seems that the whole thing is disappearing.
