Who Wrote the NAACP ‘Racist’ Tea Party Report?
The Blaze ^ | 10-21-10 | by Meredith Jessup

Posted on 10/21/2010 2:58:39 PM PDT by blueyon

Two weeks before a potentially game-changing midterm election, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) has given its endorsement to a report labeling the tea party as a self-preserving movement of racist bigots. It‘s no wonder given the fact that NAACP’s political agenda conflicts with the vast majority of the tea party platform of smaller government and reduced spending.

With Wednesday’s release of the report, however, the news media is once again dropping the ball, not only by not pointing out the NAACP’s obvious conflict of interest with the tea party movement, but in failing to do their due diligence in reporting on where the report comes from and why it was written.

The Washington Post reports that the NAACP-endorsed “Tea Party Nationalism” was “put together” by the Institute for Research and Education on Human Rights, but doesn’t report further on who the IREHR is. Politico reports that the NAACP “commissioned Leonard Zeskind and Devin Burghart” to write the study, but makes no mention of who Zeskind or Burghart are other than noting their association with the Institute.

Thanks blueyon. I'd put in search links, but I want to get offline before I grow old and arthritic and die here.

With each false accusation of racism, the left wittles away the potency of the jab. They will eventually shink this once serious charge to the level of blowing a rasberry.

As I would say in my early years when confronted with name-calling, “Takes one to know one!” However, that implies their is truth to the name (racist). I belive the are projecting their own views and beliefs on us. I’ve always believed that the ones calling others racist are really racist themselves. But I think they really believe it. I am sick and tired of being called a racist.

I don’t know who wrote it but the tone of the report comes straight from the Southern Poverty Law Center. I am sure they have a hand in it.

The NAALCP should investigate NPR for their racist and divisive firing of a black man, Juan Williams.

Cheers!
