It has become, I'm afraid, the National Association for the Advancement of Crack Pots.

...they put out a commercial of the chain dragging behind p-up truck, that indirectly was a hit piece on Bush?...

Indirectly?? No, it was a blatant direct hit piece. There was nothing the least bit indirect about it.

Bush said something important. He spoke about "the soft bigotry of low expectations in education." Instead of lowering the bar to meet underachievers at their level, Bush called for elevating the underclass to the level of the bar and beyond.

For his courage, courtesy and frankness, Bush got the James Byrd commercial. No wonder he has refused subsequent invitations to speak to the NAACP. Why endure insults from people who have no intention of voting for you and who do not represent all of black thinking, an increasing amount of which espouses more conservative principles?

The future of black America does not lie in the slogans, tactics and bitterness of the past. Instead, it is in the attitude expressed eloquently and forcefully by Bill Cosby about such issues as parental responsibility and oversight, using proper English and staying in school.
"The quiet past..." the black vote is just a rubberstamp for the so-called Democratic Party. Nothing any Republican does will sway much of that vote -- for now. Let the independent and conservative groups agitate, agitate, agitate. If they don't succeed however, the result will be less and less of a voice for the black community. If they do succeed, it will be by advocating positions palatable to the rest of America and seeing those positions vindicated by Republican-initiated public policy. The radical fringe minority within a minority will wither away and die.
George W. Bush will be reelected by a margin of at least ten per cent

"Of course, the solution to this is simple (and even more correct): eliminate tax-exemptions from ALL organizations."

I think the ULTIMATE solution to this would be to eliminate TAXES from ALL organizations. This would expedite the creation of many anti-NAACP groups, minimizing the influence of the NAACP and all other left wing Trust Funds of whatever stripe!

For decades, many conspiracy theories originated on the political right - from fluoridation is a Communist plot to the Council on Foreign Relations is a front for the creation of one world government

That latter one isn't a "conspiracy theory". It's a fact.

The NAACP needs to be kept alive as it allows me to have so much fun with my liberal friends. Whenever a discussion turns to race I always refer to" black americans" as colored people. When my liberal friends say that I should not refer to "black americans" as colored, I say that black leaders think of themselves as colored or they would have changed the name of their organization years ago. Always creates a silence in the conversation and usually changes the topic to beer and football. Especially love to use it around my mother in law.

If it didn't exist, someone would have to found it, just to promulgate brilliantly stupid ideas like "reparations."
