NAACP won’t directly address racism leveled against Clarence Thomas at progressive protest

The NAACP won’t directly address the racism displayed by progressive protesters outside a summit hosted by billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch at the end of January in Palm Springs, Calif., but the organization did call for an end to all “vitriolic language.”

In response to The Daily Caller’s request for comment on a video showing progressive protesters calling for somebody to “string up” African American Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, or “send him back into the fields” or “cut off all his toes and feed them to him one-by-one,” NAACP spokesman Hilary Shelton pointed to the organization’s recent resolution calling for a “civil political discourse.”

I hate the term "Progressive" when applied to liberals...there's nothing progressive about their views.

[camle]

kinda shows their true colors.

[FormerACLUmember]

The NAACP wants Thomas dead. Period.

[sten]

just shows you that the NAACP is really a propaganda attack tool of the progressives

[ReverendJames]

Why do they hide behind the “Progressive” label? Are they ashamed of being Liberal? You always hear “Conservative Talk Radio” but when a Liberal station is on the air it’s always “Progressive Talk Radio” or “Alternative Broadcasting”. Cowards, the bunch of them.

Just as NOW doesn’t care about women slaves under Islam, so the NAACP doesn’t care about death threats to African Americans who don’t think Correct Thoughts.

[freekitty]

They don’t like him because he should reflect what their kids should be; not the reality of the deadbeats they are.

Did you watch the Super Bowl? If so, did you catch the Pepsi commercial with these two black people. At the end it looked like the black guy was hitting on the white girl on the next bench. The black woman threw a Pepsi can at the guy but missed and hit the white girl. If everything was reversed, would you have heard the ‘racism’ yelled????

[SoftballMominVA]

The only views acceptable to a liberal are their own.

[Balding_Eagle]

Liberal isn’t a correct term either, there is nothing liberal about their view.

However, those are the terms we have to work with, and we’ve been very able in exposing the current use of the label Liberal for what it is, a term with connotations of lies, deceit and oppression.

[Rational Thought]

Deceit has worked for them. Why fix something that isn’t broken?

[LibLieSlayer]

BLACK COMMUNISTS.

[combat_boots]

Why not?

[animal172]

I was thinking the same thing as that commercial was running. It was offensive on so many levels it hard to point to one area. Overall the ads last night were horrible. Did like the dogs partying though in the Bud Light one.

[PieterCasparzen]

is the naacp still around ?

[backwoods-engineer]

The NAACP wants Thomas dead. Period.

If Thomas is murdered, then the veneer of the rule of law and the Constitution is gone. I expect patriots to go to arms if that happens.

Through my gales of laughter I mumbled the same thought.

NAACP does not represent blacks, it's a Dem front group.
NOW does not represent women, It's a Dem front group.
AARP does not represent seniors, it's a Dem front group.
These groups have been corrupted into the liberal sphere not because it helps their constituents but because it helps the groups leadership maintain their positions.
It seems that groups by their very definition are socialistic in nature and socialists naturally gravitate to the leadership.
Independent minded individuals don't normally form into groups.

[wku man]

"Liberal isn’t a correct term either, there is nothing liberal about their view."

You're both right. That's why I've started calling them what they are...Leftists, Communists, Socialists, tyrants, anarchists, atheists, statists, dictators, oligarchs, etc. I mostly use Leftist, though.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
