A police report has been filed. The Obama campaign states that it has "discussed [the situation] with the campaign staffer in an effort to clarify the matter". From CBS Chicago (hat tip: African American Conservatives): "The President of the South Suburban Branch of the NAACP alleges a
director of the re-election campaign of Barack Obama has threatened and
intimidated him because he doesn’t support the president."
By the way, the NAACP official doesn't support Mitt Romney either: "David Lowery says he believes he was threatened during a phone conversation with Louis Raymond, the Illinois political director for Obama for America. Lowery says he doesn’t personally support the president because he’s
not addressing issues important to the black community. He said he was
explaining that to Raymond when the Obama campaign official told him, 'You know what? I know everything about you.' Lowery says Raymond added, 'We’ve been watching you, and since you don’t support Obama, we’ll deal with you,' before hanging up."
