Buck, Bennet pan NAACP study on "racist" tea partiers
Examiner ^ | 10/17/10 | David Freddoso

Posted on 10/17/2010 3:09:54 PM PDT by freespirited

During their debate this morning, David Gregory presented Colorado’s Senate candidates — incumbent Democrat Michael Bennet and Republican Ken Buck — with a soon-to-be released study by a handful of left-wing groups and the NAACP that tries to tar the Tea Party as a racist movement.

Buck, naturally, rejected the study out of hand, and said he had not seen any of that in the 800 Colorado events he had attentded. Bennet’s reaction was interesting because it was almost identical. He said he had spoken to tea partiers in Republican parts of the state, then echoed Buck’s answer: “I haven’t seen a lot of that either."

I'm hard-pressed to recall the last study of value from the NAACP.

Even the MSM is starting to come to the realization that there is nothing racial in the Tea Party, not that they won’t push the meme the next day. lol

Zero value. The NAACP is a meaningless group of racists desperately clinging to relevancy. The less attention they get, the better.

Don’t feel bad, I believe the grand total is indeed the Null Set. LOL

I guess some Dims are beginning to read the tea leaves, at least to some limited extent.

They (libs) aren’t proficient at photoshopping. FReepers have picked up on discrepancies in photos of events attended by conservatives—things like, it was sunny that day, not cloudy; look at the shadows—it was at this time, not at that time; look at the crowd—Beck’s attendees, not the union crowd. They haven’t been able to provoke the Tea Party members; they have nothing but claims that the conservative crowds verbally abused certain individuals. The conservatives are just too smart for them. Giggle. Thanks for being there, y’all!

The (pure as the driven snow and totally objective) NAACP playing the race card?

No way, it must be a typo! /s

Even Bennett is too smart to alienate at least 1/3 of the electorate.

The TEA Party needs to do a “study” of the “racist” 98% that voted for Barack Hussein Obama in 2008.
