Did Obama make a campaign appearance with Malik Shabazz?

(By Ed Morrissey, Hot Air) - Since the Washington Post has decided to turn over every rock looking for racism among the Republican presidential candidates, Andrew Breitbart decided to do the same among Democratic presidential candidates, too. Not surprisingly, he found an interesting connection between both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton to the New Black Panther Party in 2007 — the same organization whose leaders mysteriously escaped prosecution for voter intimidation once Obama took office:

New photographs obtained exclusively by BigGovernment.com reveal that Barack Obama appeared and marched with members of the New Black Panther Party as he campaigned for president in Selma, Alabama in March 2007.

The photographs, captured from a Flickr photo-sharing account before it was scrubbed, are the latest evidence of the mainstream media’s failure to examine Obama’s extremist ties and radical roots.

In addition, the new images raise questions about the possible motives of the Obama administration in its infamous decision to drop the prosecution of the Panthers for voter intimidation.

The images, presented below, also renew doubts about the transparency of the White House’s guest logs–in particular, whether Panther National Chief Malik Zulu Shabazz is the same “Malik Shabazz” listed among the Obama administration’s early visitors.
