WASHINGTON --President Bush met Tuesday at the White House with the outgoing head of the NAACP, the first meeting of his presidency with the nation's oldest civil rights group.
"It was a very frank and a very open dialogue," NAACP President Kweisi Mfume told reporters afterward. "We both have real differences."
The White House did not provide a description of the session, but Bush press secretary Scott McClellan said the president had looked forward to it.
"The president is always open to talking to people who want to work together on our common challenges and our shared priorities," he said.
The meeting came about after NAACP President Kweisi Mfume sent Bush a letter on Nov. 5 congratulating him on his re-election and requesting the chance to discuss challenges confronting the nation, said John White, the group's spokesman. Mfume announced Nov. 30 he is stepping down from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People leadership post.

David Horowitz reminds me of a converted zealot.
Frizzell Gray????
Yeah, "Kweisi Mfume" is one of his criminal aliases.
LOL. That's because David Horowitz is a converted zealot. But I'll take him and if Kweisi wants to come on board I'll take him too.
Ah well his idol was WEB Du Bois so what does that tell you? Very sad that he started out with non-violence means of protest and now embraces just about every leftist cause. It's almost as if he has no other reason for living.

I used to love to watch him on 700 Club.
Aha... so after meeting with that clown is Bush going to meet up with the Grand Dragon/Wizard/etc. of the KKK?

I used to like the 700 Club, too.
Actually, the Comicle had nothing to do with the content of this story. It's an AP story that's being hosted on SFGate.
Ahhh...the AP. Also unbiased.
Didn't know another single conservative in the whole building. And believe me, everyone knew I loved GWB.
I can't believe he would meet with them. Discraceful.
At a recent July 12th 2004 speech, NAACP President Kweisi Mfume's reiterated the same. A San Francisco Gate columnist wrote (184):
Mfume, in his speech to conventioneers, accused "ultra conservative right wing" attackers of hiring black people to carry their message. Think of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, Secretary of State Colin Powell or University of California Regent Ward Connerly [Education Secretary Ron Paige].
According to Mfume, these people are "black hustlers and yes men" who "speak with their puppet master's voice. (184)".
Here are some more excerpts from Mfume's speech (185):
Then when the ultra conservative right wing attacker has run out of attack strategy, he goes and gets someone that looks like you and me to continue the attack.
They've had a collection of black hustlers and yes men on their payrolls for more than twenty years, promoting them as the new generation of black leaders.
They can't deal with the leaders we choose for ourselves- so they manufacture, promote, and hire new ones. Like the ventriloquist's dummies, they speak in their puppet master's voice, but we can see his lips move and we can hear his money talk.
They've financed a conservative constellation of make-believe-black organizations, all of them hollow shells with more names on the letterhead than there are people in their membership. They are purchasing seats at the table of influence, and they're buying people for a few bucks a head. Because they know that some of us come cheap... real cheap.
Thirty six years after the assassination of Martin Luther King we still have a society where some in the Democratic party take our votes for granted and many in the Republican party still refuse to campaign for them. (185)
How can any Black Conservatives campaign for the African American vote when they are labeled them as such?
