Which Malik Shabazz Visited White House in July 2009, Mr. President?
by Andrew BreitbartIn May 2009, the Obama/Holder Justice Department dropped charges in a voter intimidation case against Malik Shabazz, a leader of the New Black Panther Party, despite having already won a summary judgment against him, and his New Black Panther Party colleagues King Samir Shabazz and Jerry Jackson who were video-taped outside polling place in Philadelphia intimidating voters as they arrived on election day, 2008. In July 2009, when Congress began looking into the matter, someone named Malik Shabazz visited the private residence at the White House.
When news of the visit was released under the auspices of transparency, the White House denied that the Malik Shabazz on the visitor’s log was the same Malik Shabazz involved in the New Black Panther voter intimidation case. According to Norm Eisen, special counsel to the president for ethics and government reform, the records contained “a few “false positives” – names that make you think of a well-known person, but are actually someone else.” He specifically cited Malik Shabazz as an example of one of these “false positives”.
At the time, the media did not challenge the White House on the veracity of this claim. The White House’s position was, basically: “We’re being transparent, here are all the visitor logs, and this guy is not the guy you think he is, TRUST US.”
The great thing about transparency – when there is actual transparency – is that it renders trust unnecessary. We ask that the White House identify which Malik Shabazz visited the White House residence on July 25, 2009.
In July 2010, J. Christian Adams, former attorney in the Civil Rights Division of the Dept. of Justice, testified before the U. S. Commission on Civil Rights that Obama Appointee Julie Fernandes, deputy assistant attorney general in the Civil Rights Division in charge of voting matters, told DOJ attorneys charged with enforcing Voters’ Rights Law that the Obama administration would not file election-related cases against minority defendants — no matter the alleged violation of law.
According to Adams, that policy is what allowed Malik Shabazz and Jerry Jackson to walk away without punishment and weapon wielding King Samir Shabazz to receive a wrist-slap sentence that merely prohibits him from appearing at a polling place until after 2012.
Although the Administration has tried to ignore the New Black Panther scandal, their apologists have contended the story was nothing more than a conspiracy theory of the right-wing spun by a lone, partisan, disaffected lawyer looking for attention on Fox News. But today, Mr. Adams is joined by a fellow government whistle-blower, his former supervisor at the Dept. of Justice.
Today, Christopher Coates, former Chief of the Voting Section of the Civil Rights Division at the Dept. of Justice, has testified before the U. S. Commission on Civil Rights. His testimony corroborates J. Christian Adams’ testimony before the same commission in July. Mr. Coates had originally signed-off on Mr. Adams plan to go forward with the civil charges against Shabazz. He and Mr. Adams had been ordered by the DOJ not to testify before the commission, and he was subsequently transferred to South Carolina last Christmas.
Coates’ testimony calls into question the Justice Department’s earlier denials that the handling of the New Black Panther case was politically motivated. And their refusal to allow attorneys at Justice to testify under oath about this case recalls the same attitude toward transparency exemplified by the White House visitor’s log policy: “We didn’t drop the charges against the Black Panthers because of politics, TRUST US.”
Continuing to say you’re transparent does not mean you are transparent.
The idea that an individual named Malik Shabazz had a private meeting in the White House residence in July 2009 is highly relevant because throughout July, Congressmen Frank Wolf (R-VA) and Lamar Smith (R-TX) were beginning to ask questions about to the dropped charges against the NBPP. So was the United States Commission on Civil Rights. Here is a timeline, according to Adams:
- July 8, Representative Frank Wolf sent a letter to Judiciary Chairman John Conyers and Ranking Member Lamar Smith demanding hearings before the House Judiciary Committee.
- July 9, Ten members of the House sent a letter demanding the DOJ Inspector General open an investigation.
- July 13, The Dept. of Justice replied but their letter contained factual inaccuracies about the case
- July 17 Smith and Wolf send a swift and pointed rebuttal
- July 20, Low-level DOJ staffers were sent to the Hill to brief Wolf on the Panther story, but Wolf threw them out of his office claiming they weren’t being truthful to him.
- July 22, Wolf sent another letter to Attorney General Eric Holder demanding answers.
- July 24, Portia Robinson, intergovernmental liaison at DOJ, sent a letter to the Civil Rights Commission trying to deflect attention.
- July 25, a man named Malik Shabazz visited the exclusive, private residence in the White House.
- July 30, the Washington Times broke the news that top political appointee, Tom Perrelli (the #3 official at Justice) was involved in the dismissal of the case. Perrelli was also a top campaign bundler for Obama.
The White House has assured the American people that the Malik Shabazz that visited the White House at that time is not the same Malik Shabazz at the center of the New Black Panther story. But, the White House has not provided any information to verify its contention or who this “other” Malik Shabazz is.
We call on the White House to act in the spirit of their transparency policy and provide further information, sufficient to independently verify the identity of the person named Malik Shabazz who visited the White House private residence in July of 2009.

Than you Mr. O'Conner.
We talked about that here last fall, and I have been asking it ever since. There was never a satisfactory answer given. Personally, I refuse to believe that there that many Malik Zulu Shabazza's running around.
a house of cards

My goodness!
Say it ain't so!
You don't mean to imply there was a quid pro quo?
It is clear that there are those in this country that want desperately to spread the wealth of the productive, at the expense of destroying the very foundation on which this Republic was formed, and to create a socialist type of government. They wish to enslave the people by creating a dependence on the government for all of our needs, while at the same time destroying our economy and relegating our once exceptional accomplishments and achievements to those of a third world nation.
I cannot accept this approach to changing this country. We that have served the public, to protect and defend the Constitution, did so in good faith. Many have sacrificed their lives, liberty, and fortunes to ensure the Republic survived attacks in the past, and those yet to come.
We are a Nation of one people and must turn back the divisions that have been so entrenched in our society.
"Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed."
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The gathering in the photo above should test their leadership skills, let them run Haiti and see how they do? …whoops my bad we already have Detroit as an example. Scratch that they make better race pimps.
Speaking of Detroit, did you happen to catch the United Auto Workers new program? "Doobies for Dodge".
As far as them running anything, that has already been tried. They called it Rhodesia. Today, it ceases to exist.
This case is much bigger than any of us know, especially Chairman O….
This is the kind of thing that forces resignations invites congressional hearings and leads to impeachments.
When the republicans take over in January this entire affair needs to take center stage in hearings and questions need to be answered for the good of the republic.
I'm not holding my breath for anyone in the White House or justice department to save their own ass and fess up when it's not in their DNA to tell the truth to begin with.
We have one set of laws to be applied equally for everyone and the Resident seems to think he is above that concept or those laws.
Obama,Holder and all the rest of these usurpers are finding out that they will be held accountable to the LAWS OF OUR LAND.If they don't know it by now they will shortly.
The Resident as you refer to him, is nothing but a goddamned phucking lying bushman of the Kalahari.
I can think of another false positive that happened 2 years ago November. So many people thought Barak Insane No Bama was presidential material.
Obama lied, people…. Ummmm…… well. They covered it up.
I pray daily that they find out.
Start impeachment today – against Attorney General Eric H. Holder, Jr.
Either he lied to the President, or they both lied.
Now now now people ….this is perfectly acceptable on the hill these days. If oblahma wants to have thugs,criminals, killers, racists and terrorists on OUR hill that WE pay for, it is quite alright. Just make sure you take your papers with you if you care to hold a future event in DC, or they may have you arrested, hog tied or both.
That's no doubt in the new clause in the death care bill some place, tucked deep in small letters where no one can see it.
Keep the heat and the spotlight on! Good job. The only way to expose oppressors of freedom is to confront them with the truth, and demand their explanation. Then they will simply indict themselves!
A Dept of Justice that is corrupt, attached to other branches of Government that are also corrupt, is unacceptable in America. We need to be as aggressive and persistent in investigating and prosecuting them, as they are in their assault on U.S.
Thank you Mr. O'Connor. Keep up the good work! We need to get to the bottom of this, no matter how many distractions and brick walls the obama Admin throws up!
Want to know what I think is funny?
Look at the photo, and the "costumes" those imbeciles are wearing. It is always symbolism over substance. They are dressed up in their zoot-suits, looking like a bunch of Organ Grinders Monkey's who have just escaped. Their jobs? Their jobs are simply to show up, look ridiculous, and protest. Protest anything, and everything.
My point?
If an employer had a dress code, and asked one of those clowns to wear such stupid looking garb, there would be a screeching and screaming heard Nationwide, followed by class action lawsuits, about "Da Man" belittling those poor downtrodden minorities.
Actually, I just talked myself out of my own argument.
Let them go. Let them continue to dress like a one ring circus act. They just ruined their own credibility and bona-fides.
Morons..
Everything that happens on the hill is 1 big cover up.
Sure there are! I meet a half a dozen every day! lol! </sarc>
Seems like I remember the White House having this same problem with another verrrrry common name,
BERTHA LEWIS…. the (un-indicted) ACORN QUEEN…………..
Amazing how many semi-famous folks the prez has dealt with in the past whom are NOT visiting him, ,,,huh?
Oh Wellllllll,………………… if you say so Mr 0.
.
It was a different Malik Zulu Shabazz, right?
+Hanzo+
I don't think there is any reasonable doubt that they are both lying through their two-faced teeth.
Transparency from the BHO admin…. bwaahahahahahahahaha. Oh hey tough guy Black Pus.. Panthers where were you on 8/28? Thought you were going to pay Mr Beck a visit or did you think twice when Glenn mentioned that his friend Marcus Lutrell was going to be here with some of his close friends… Navy SEALs!
Bunch of clowns who are part of BHO's thug army compromised of ACL- CIO, SEIU, ACORN and other members from the Alphabet Organized Crime Family that are on that register of visitors too Im sure!
56 men, our Founding Fathers, had the guts to stand up and do what’s right, what about you? http://www.savingtherepublic.com
"This is all Bush's fault. It was in a big box with a bow on it left in the white house." -king zero
There is probably a lot of Malik Shabazz's. Al Hajj Malik Shabazz was Malcolm X. When converts to Islam take a Muslim name they're not very original about it. Look how many call themselves Muhammad. Question is, how many have White House access. Probably one.
Fools like The Black Panthers, and their followers are the big reason for the continued failure of anything they touch.
Now Cowboy, you know how stressful it can be working for the UAW, or I mean Chrysler, they need their weed, and booze.
On another note I read a piece over at the Daily Caller, Herman Cain is indeed looking at a run for president in 2012. That’s good news, win, lose, or draw, he’ll pull the race to the right. Now that’s a quality candidate.
Yep.
Totally different.
An honest case of mistaken identity.
BwaaHaaaphuckinHaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Are we to allow the Black Panthers to be encouraged because Eric Holder let them get away with Voter Intimidation, when we have an election in Nov?
There are people out there that buy into the "Circus act."
That's how we find ourselves here today.
Sure there are.
I met two last night on the county road when I was bringing in my saddle horses.
They're everywhere, they're everywhere……………!
King Samir was ordered to stay away from polling places until the 2012 elections, so if anyone sees him then, please, make sure he decides on his own to NEVER come near a polling place ever again. He should be made to break out in a cold sweat when he even THINKS of an election, and he should be eager to vote by absentee ballot.
We will never get the truth from Obama's "Ministry of Lies".
By the way, King Samir feels free to beat on women, so ladies, don't be too shy around King Samir.
"… That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new guards for their future security"
I was genuinely concerned that one of these thugs would try to murder one of our patriots at the 8/28 rally, but I overestimated their courage. Silly me. BO's goons prefer to work under cover of darkness when assaulting good working Americans. Plus the news cameras make sure to turn away from the violence they commit.
Raising their fists while wearing "leizure suits", isn't very intimidating, is it?
Andrew Breitbat,
GREAT LINE!
"We ask that the White House identify which Malik Shabazz visited the White House residence on July 25, 2009."
I hope you realize what you just wrote.
You just wrote: "What did the President know, and when did he know it?"
That one question was enough to bring Nixon down.
Your line might go down in history as well.
Somewhere in Kenya, a village is missing it's idiot.
Great work Mr. O'Connor. Glad to see we can still find investigative reporting in the "Big" sites.
Our government is being take over in a Chavez style coup, with willing accomplices in the Senate, House of Representatives, and the Federal agencies.
If we can gain control of the House and Senate, the career bureaucrats that are willing to lie to further the aims of the Obama Coup should be charged, tried and jailed for aiding and abetting the Obama administration.
This crap has to stop and the hammer needs to fall hard on Progressive bureaucrats that are destroying our Republic.
will the real malik shabazz please stand up? could a investigative reporter, lookup the name, there can't be that many malik's to find. then question all of them, to see where they were on that day, and then we can find out which one was at the whitehouse?
Do a little background research on Darrel Issa. He'll be the one to take up the case. And this is exactly the kind of investigation that he will launch first.
Yo, Big Government,
you ought to figure out who wrote this article.
When the thread first went up, it had Larry O'Connors photo on it, now you just changed it to Andrew Breitbart. Is Big Government getting so big that the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing?
This is my experience with black/white relations…
My primary co-worker is a black woman.
She works 5 days a week.
Her primary co-worker is a white guy (me)
I work 5 days a week.
We are both professionals
So why does race keep coming up here?
Perhaps I'm blind but I just don't see it in everyday life.
I know, it is disgusting to say the least. These bozos make Slick Willy look honest.
Yeah, scraped one off my boot a week ago…………….
Than we'll add purgery to his list of many crimes.
All I see is a target-rich environment……
My Yorkshire Terriers are dying to urinate on their …..ankles. That's the ONLY salute they deserve.
I remember the first report of a little break-in at the Watergate.
This story already has more legs than that one.
I guess only the Malik's of American rate a private Beer Summit. I'll bet they discussed their strategy for polling places this November. Are they going to "get in our faces" again?
whichever 'Malik Shabazz' it was who turned up to see his pal Barry at the WH I can guarantee that he was an American hating Communist POS
Sarah Palin summed it up correctly this week by saying…."Damned Lies!"
This alone is enough for impeachment if true. Let Obama get absorbed into the ash heap of history. He's torn the country in half and set back race relations 50 years.
Malik Shabazz is such a common name in the US. Geez I think there are at least 10 in San Diego alone.
"Is Big Government getting so big that the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing? "
I have seen it drifting that way….
But I'm kinda new here…so I'll try to stay out of the way.
Going forward all visitors to the White House should be photographed and finger printed and viewed through one of those naked airport scanners. How's that for transparency?
I liked it before your filter caught it and changed it to panthers.
The WH's plan to "just deny until it goes away"… is not working for them. Instead of going away, everything is blowing up!
I have 3 roommates with the same name. Go figure.
It is becoming a centipede very quickly but the media still thinks its a single celled organism…
Having dealt with many liars over the years, it is not difficult to decern when someone is lying or speaking the truth. Our President, Mr. Barak Hussein Obama, is, (IMHO) an absolute liar.
If I were to be given an audience with him, I would with all due repsect for the office, call him such and back it up with an enormous list of infractions.
Can't wait to take back OUR house and kick the resident OUT!
Andrew:
You're not saying that these two names might actually be the same person, are you? Why, that would make it seem as though the President of the United States supports racists, intolerance and bigotry…not to mention infanticidal maniacs.
As usual, a great job, for pointing out the obvious, AB!
What a coincidence. Two black liberation activists in the White House residence on the same day – and neither willing to offer a shred of proof as to their real identity
I don't see a single white person in the crowd… they must be racist… !!!
Where there's smoke, fire won't be far behind. Holder and Crime, Inc. thought they we're gonna be a able to sweep this one under the carpet. Time to grab the popcorn and watch the fireworks.
BOOM !!!
Boy, you ARE new here. WE don't see it in everyday life, either. That's why, when The Black Panther's accuse us, the TEA Partiers, of being racist we get a little ticked off. They are hypocrites. IF, the prosecution of this case was stopped because of preferential treatment to the Black Panthers, there is a lot of hypocrisy here. And, more importantly, it directly involves the Attorney General and the President of the United States. I got a problem with that.
Look for the Megan Kelly vidoe later today from FOX on this DOJ case .. One of the civil rights guys is BLAMING BUSH !!!!! YES …..
I'm watching it now so it should be up later …..
I can promise them this: If they try it at MY polling place, they will get a LOT more press coverage. I'm not saying they'll like it, mind you…they might not even be aware of it. They don't have TV's in ambulances, do they?
He might as well say Malik Shabazz didn't visit the same Barak Hussein Obama that is President of the United States or the same White House where the President resides. It'd be just as believable.
Can Congress remove Eric Holder or is the President the only one with that power?
Did you just see the interview with Taylor and Yaki on FOX….?
That Yaki character is trying to dismiss this entire case as "midterm politics"…
Unbelievable!
Another Obama lie. There is no other Malik Shabazz. And King Shabazz hates every iota of a cracka.
Just to be completely fair, here's a bit of research into other Malik Shabazz's:
I went to google.com and searched for the following:
"Malik Shabazz" -panther -malcolm -hajj -nbpp
That starts with the full name, and removes any entries that have to with Malcolm X or the NBPP.
That leaves the following candidates:
Two lawyers in the DC area (Perhaps the same man with an old and new adddress)

I wonder if working in reverse would show where the Malik Shabazz , the one we know , was . Did he buy a plane ticket, make some credit card purchases , cell phone records, security/phone cam vids or whatever sleuths use to find out where he was? If the White House is found to be lying by this method it implies a great deal about the Panther case.
This is not a race-based issue and I don't see why you can't get that through your head. Try to expand the thought process.
Let me put it to you like this. Is it "normal" for a sitting President to invite a well known bigot who at the time was under investigation by the U.S. Justice Department for voter intimidation? I'll hang up and listen.
Bush and Malik are tight. I remember Malik said a lot of nice things about him.
If by "here" you mean the US, it's because the remnants of a civil-rights movement, which has long since jumped the shark, seeks to enrich and perpetuate itself, at the expense of everyone else, including those they purport to defend, enabled by a too-powerful federal government.
It is as Barry Goldwater foresaw.
If by "here," you mean the Bigs, the answer is simple. Because the left keeps making it an issue, and the Bigs keep a really close watch on the left. With the exception of a few HuffyPuff/Kos Mobys here, posters couldn't give a rat's posterior about a person's melanin endowment.
Ehhhh ya know I dont want to PO BG admin I think using that one would be going a little too far dont want to get my post deleted ya know
If they keep on sweeping things under that rug of theirs, it will be more noticeable….I think we're at that point now.
I guess AB wrote this, originally O'Connor was credited for this.
…supports racists…
Well, his DOJ dropped the Black Panther case…
…intolerance and bigotry…
Well, he did say the Cambridge police "acted stupidly," without benefit of knowing the facts…
…infanticidal maniacs…
Well, that would be consistent with his position on abortion…
.
.
.
You know, you may be on to something, there…
At this particular point and time …. no one can do anything. oblahma is the only one with any kind of power. What power he don't have he will just steal anyway.
Once you start lying it becomes lies about everything.
Who believes these people about anything anymore. And why.
See, I knew it was a common name, right up there with Ken Jones, James Smith, and Oliver Willowby
It could easily have been another "Malik Shabazz". I mean, I know at least 4 guys by that name. Don't you?….
Watergate was when the MSM went completely off the deep left end. Nixon's "crimes" were all minuscule compared to this Marxist ship of fools.
well, I would like to meet the Shabazz and Lewis who visited the whitehouse that happened to have the same names as leaders involved in corruption within the whitehouse. Wow, what are the odds?
besides Haiti is still trying to get out from under that last Category 5 storm,…….
this one would be a Category 10
That new rug they put in the oval office is already coming apart at the seams me thinks. Tooo many fleas from the Head Dog.
Wearing those suits remind me of the NAZI movement!
They are full of hate.
The stimulus created or saved millions of jobs…and Obamacare will lower the cost of your insurance…and there must be thousands of Malik Shabazz'es who might visit Obama…why can't you people just trust the President?
2012,……..
the White House is going to need a major overhaul.

"There are 1 or fewer people in the U.S. named Malik Shabazz."
MSNBC Transcript:
Dear Viewers:
The actual Malik who visited the white house is the alleged love child of Rush Limbaugh. Malik is from Nigeria and is working with the president on bridging the gap between progressives and conservatives. Malik brings a unique perspective to the table. He's both black & white. His mom is a beautiful Muslim from Africa. His father is the renowned conservative pundit. Malik works for the prince of Nigeria and helps him with the prince's investment strategy of sending faxes and emails to Americans asking their help to free up World Bank capital.
Malik loves both capitalism and socialism. He is the perfect bridge between east & west, rich & poor, and integrity & corruption. The POTUS would be crazy NOT to have Malik advise him and Andrew Breitbart is both a racist and a rabble rouser for even suggesting that the president does not have the best intentions. It is simply incredulous. Clearly, our president's intellectual capacity is so far beyond any conservative thinker that perhaps Mr. Breitbart should stick to Acorn conspiracy theories and pretending to be relevant in a world dominated by legitimate news sources like MSNBC and The Atlantic.
Yours truly,
Keith Obermann
655321:
Did you ever consider the possibility that maybe, just maybe, your relationship with one black co-worker is not indicative of race relations in general?
Don't they though?!
Gotta have those little arm bands, and patches, and ephalets to go with their berets.
I want to recognize Christopher Coatesas well as Christian Adams as American heroes for coming forward to tell the truth in the face of the full force of the Federal government.
The President of the United States allowing a convicted criminal to visit the White House, deny it and then interfer with a federal investigation resulting in a known criminal video tapped commiting a felony, go free.
What kind of person is Obama? He is a liar and a confrimed racist and should be removed from office right now!
This country owes Andrew Breitbart more than it can ever repay.
Well, that explains it. It must have been the guy who sells reparations apparel in Salt Lake City. Maybe he was meeting with Obama to discuss the Dem's small business tax cut bill. I'm sure his business is struggling. I doubt there is a big market for his merchandise in Salt Lake City.
