Civil rights icon Julian Bond defended the IRS for targeting tea party groups, on Tuesday, labeling them “the Taliban wing of American politics.” “I think it’s entirely legitimate to look at the tea party,” Bond said on MSNBC. “Here are a group of people who are admittedly racist, who are overtly political, who’ve tried as best they can to harm President Obama in every way they can.” Bond was chairman of the NAACP in 2004, when the IRS opened an investigation into their nonprofit status following the group’s convention, where Bond delivered a speech criticizing President George W. Bush, and the IRS alleged they passed out fliers opposing Bush’s reelection. “I don’t think there are any parallels to what we’re seeing today,” he said. “Of course we were unfairly targeted.”

Bond is a liar. The Tea Party pretty much backed Herman Cain.
Julian Bond - first president of the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Your sir are a DINO. You are not an American. True Democrat’s and True Republican’s should all be appalled at the the special treatment the IRS has administered to these groups. Only DINO’s, RINO’s and Fascist’s support such activity.
It is very hard to satirize people who continually say more outrageous things in real life than you could ever make up.
You lose your rights if I don’t like you.
this is funny... very funny. Someone was acting as Bond or did SNL get him to do himself?
"Psychological projection is a form of defense mechanism in which someone attributes thoughts, feelings, and ideas which are perceived as undesirable to someone else. For example, someone who harbors racist ideas while believing that racism is socially undesirable might come to believe that a friend is racist, projecting his or her racism onto the other person."
Bond hosted the show himself, I remember at the time I had no idea who he was.
Bloody Hands: The Southern Poverty Law Center Hate List
Bond’s a has-been bigot. Who cares what he thinks. He needs to be marginalized like the KKK.
You could have stopped at “black churches”. Tell me THAT’S not racist in itself!
‘Doesn’t fit the observations of any Tea Party rally I’ve ever been to. He’s obviously never been to one. Thus, how would he know, other than to just lie about it?
Typical of islamodemocommucrats.
Oh... he's still taking oxygen. Too bad.
Oh really, Julian... and you're an admitted pedophile.
One slur deserves another, homie.
This does have racism written all over it. First of all, it is no secret that a heavily weighted percentage of government jobs are filled by blacks. What better opportunity would there be to discriminate against whites than to target an organization that is 99.9% white. This is also a civil rights infringement, and I certainly hope it is addressed. If a significant number of black organizations were targeted, you better bet there would be a civil rights violation filed.
Admittedly racist? Lie, nobody I know of "admitted" such a thing. Overtly political? True, wanting to return politics to a constitutional basis. Tried to harm Obama? Half-truth. Since we try to spread the truth about Obama and his regime, and since the truth is negative in almost all cases, he gets harmed. But the goal is to preserve and protect our constitution, not to "harm" him.
All communists and Nazis backs the IRS any time it goes after Americans.
The utterings of a grammatical illiterate (plural vs. singular - "are"..."group") should be discarded out of hand.
Go back to grade school where you intellectually belong, Julian.
“Obamacare (forced increased taxation)”
Let’s be more blunt, Obamacare is quite simply the confiscation of our physical beings and will be used to dictate our every day activities. In other words, it is SLAVERY! I find it rather amazing that our “first black President” was the one to re-institute slavery and that a “civil rights leader” is attacking the opposition to that slavery!
