The librats only wanted a soundbite to use against him. And the media was more than willing to assist. It was a trap.

Yeah, well, it only makes me respect him more for refusing the toe the line with them.

[Mark]

I'd like for him to speak to the few conservative black groups, just to show how irrelevant the NAALCP is. I'm sure it would be on every news station/news papers--NOT.

[Republic If You Can Keep It]

I'm so glad he is not pandering to those who so openly despise him

Beautifully said.

[mdittmar]

I seem to remember a little ad put out by the naacp comparing Presidential canidate Bush to those who drug James Byrd to his death.

Maybe quese forgot about it,I don't think President Bush has.

[sandlady]

I agree. This would be a good start:

Here is proof that JULIAN BOND IS A FOOL AND HAS NO BUSINESS TEACHING OUR YOUTH

[BIGZ]

The decision not to speak was a far cry from candidate Bush's appeal to the NAACP four years ago when he conceded at its convention in Baltimore that Republicans hadn't always gotten along with the group.

One of the basic reasons that the NAACP does not get along with the Republican Party and other conservatives is that Bond and Mfume appear to believe that the only way Blacks can achieve equality is thru Socialism or Communism, both these political entities force equality, at least upon those who are not elite.

The United States was built on Personal Responsibility, Free Enterprise and a Government based on a Republic, with a minimum of governmental control. Centralized government does not work, the USSR and the other Communist countries proved this and it is true today in the Arab countries and Europe, Communism/Socialism does not work, except to create equality. Equality in this sense, equates to everyone having nothing.

Equality can be achieved in two ways, bring the have-nots up or the haves down, I prefer the first option.

Bush: NAACP hostile to me

Good memory. He met with them and then they ran an add basically blaming Bush for the dragging deaths in Jasper Texas at election time.

BTW, I've read that, that racial crime was retribution for racial rape in prison.

[nhoward14]

I know who I would prefer to go speak to the NAACP... Of course, they would claim they were railroaded.

There must be thousands of blacks out there that don't agree with these puppet fools that run the NAACP. You would think that some of them would start an organization of their own to rival these commie lefties, or is it they just don't care? Maybe so few of them they can't get started.

I'm sure if they did, the president would be happy to come talk to them. Therefore making the NAACP look like even bigger fools.

[sandlady]

I always thought equality pertained to opportunity and not possessions, necessarily.

[sandlady]

See #25.

[Non-Sequitur]

``But recognizing our past and confronting the common future with a common vision -- by doing that, I believe we can find common ground.''

He's kidding, right?

[fish hawk]

Thank you, somehow I missed that.

[Soul Seeker]

This is an interesting turn of events.

It is definitely G.W's pattern to reach out, even to a point we would term it excess. It is also pattern for him to disengage when he believes all options for compromise have reached a close.

He is making a stand now with the NAACP. I have to wonder if this could be a signal of what could come with others that have gone out of their way to be defiant of peace offerings. Though I don't wish to read more into this stance than exists, it is worth considering.

[muawiyah]

The rhetoric has been so vicious that it's extremely probably Mfune and Bond have organized armed hit teams for the purpose of assassinating the President at their convention.

Good idea for "W" to stay away from this bunch.

[Che Chihuahua]

The NAACP is just another part of the Neo-Communist cabal assembled by the democrat party. Many of the so-called leaders like Julian Bond are 1960s relics spouting the old Marxist-Socialist agitprop lines.

[goldstategop]

The NAACLP preaches racial equality but practices racial division. Julian Bond's words fit his own organization perfectly. Like all liberals, he and his boss Kwaisi Mfume aren't aware of just how ironic the NAACLP's accusation hurled against the Bush Administration has turned out to be.

ATTN JULIAN BOND: June 6, 2001 --- KKK Byrd Is 3 Heartbeats from the Presidency

FROM USA TODAY -- 6/6/01


By voice vote, the Senate then elected Sen. Robert Byrd, D-W.Va., the senior Senate Democrat, as president pro tempore, replacing Sen. Strom Thurmond, R-S.C. That is a constitutional and mostly ceremonial post that is also third in line of succession to the presidency.

---

Note to Julian Bond: On this day, Mr. Bond, a former member of the KKK became the President Pro Tempore of the United States Senate. Ahead of him in our country's leadership were President George W. Bush, Vice-President Richard Cheney, and Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert.


Bond was being interviewed by Wolfie Blitzer and made a fool of himself. He defended racist and outrageous statments by Jesse Jackson, saying there was no comparison to Trent Lott. NAACP Chairman Bond, who teaches American History at the University of Virginia, claimed that what Lott said was far more egregious than Jackson because Lott was only 3 heartbeats from the presidency.


Apparently this college history professor should not be in the history department of the University of Virginia. In 8th grade, we learn about the line of succession. Trent Lott, incoming majority leader, is not in the line of succession. KKK Byrd, however, as pointed out to Bond by Arlen Specter, is in the line of succession.


Julian Bond, are you a liar or are you just stupid? Why didn't it bother you that for a year and a half a former KKK member was 3 heartbeats from the presidency?


What a fool.
