Civil rights activist and NAACP Chairman Julian Bond delivered a blistering partisan speech at Fayetteville State University in North Carolina last night, equating the Republican Party with the Nazi Party and characterizing Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and her predecessor, Colin Powell, as "tokens."
"The Republican Party would have the American flag and the swastika flying side by side," he charged.
The talk so infuriated at least one black family in attendance that they got up in walked out in protest.

So you did..My bad.
Looks like it's fund raising time over at NAACP Headquarters.
The naacp is a marginalized piece of crap. Does anyone even listen to them anymore?
"I developed Godwin's Law of Nazi Analogies: As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one." -- Mike Godwin (online counsel for the Electronic Frontier Foundation), here: http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/2.10/godwin.if_pr.html
"There is a tradition in many Usenet newsgroups that once such a comparison is made, the thread is over, and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically lost whatever argument was in progress." -- from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin's_law (as it stood on 3-22-2005)
You're right. Thanks. I forgot to mention that important fact. It makes what was done all the more despicable.

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.

You're white, me and all my people will say
You were a racist in April
Still are in May
And I know I'll never change my tune
Reparations, yes...reparations in June
I said you're white...you're to blame for everything
And oh so much misery....to my race you bring
But forever you ain't gonna keep us down
Make us angry and...we'll burn your town
I've been a puppet, a parrot, a poverty pimp, and a...professor, too
If you don't give us the things that we want, we will boycott you
I've learned from Jesse well...how shakedowns work
You're dealing with top notch pros, you cracker jerk
You're white...that's something you can't deny
You got to give us much more until you are bled dry
Because, so far pal, it ain't been, ain't been enough
You can like it or not...but, we want your stuff
I've been a puppet, a parrot, a poverty pimp, and a...professor, too
If you don't give us the things that we want, we will boycott you
I've learned from Jesse well...just how big shakedowns work
You are dealing with top notch pros, you cracker jerk
You're white...no man, you cannot deny it
All your lame, your lame excuses...we will not buy it
If we don't get the things we want by July
We will go out in the streets...Mr. Honky...you'll die
Oh my
Bush has declines to address the NAA(L)CP's annual convention for the past 5 years. He treats them as if they don't exist, which is what they deserve.
Julian Bond used to be coke head. I think he wrecked his brain

Where does he go after this rhetoric? The Republican Party could actually do what he accuses them of doing, and he couldn't ratchet up his rhetoric any higher.
Wait till we have new Republican black governors in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. We're going to have quite a few tokens! Pretty soon he'll have to read such a long list of "tokens" it'll be simply laughable! That's why I say the best way to defeat these bigots is by continuing to win and changing hearts and minds through action.
When will the IRS remove the NAACP's tax exempt status. They have clearly become a wing of the Democratic Party.
I cant wait to hear Brian Williams of NBC give his report concerning Bond's speech on tonight's evening news.
That will probably be a very very long wait???
I hope President Bush doesn't let this stand.
That kind of talk is very dangerous on many levels.
As a child I can remember when using the term "H E double hockey sticks" was reserved for the most stressful times like breaking a bone. At all other times it was a mark of degeneracy and uncivil in the extreme. Today you could play a Lenny Bruce tape in some churches.
The same has happened to political discourse. Lincoln was compared to a baboon and the terms of scalawag and capitalist/fascist toady was fighting words. Now the left has so debased their lexicon that all they have left in their verbal armory are the Nazis. Even when the liberals realize (seldom) how disproportionate the charge is, they cannot resist since everything else is so shopworn.
Interestingly, on the right, it appears to me to be much less inclination to use the comperable ultimate of Communist. Perhaps it is because they are mostly a dying breed or perhaps because the terms looney, wacko, idiotic and other such "loose-cannon" adjectives seem so much more appropriate.
I can remember when my favorite author, R.A.Heinlein, made much of an educated man being able to insult without using any swear words. It left such an impression on me, that even after leaving childhood and parental restrictions, I am ashamed when I do occasionally use the "H" word. I simply despise those who need to use these "atomic bomb" terms like the "N" WORDS and the "F" terms.
Yeah...I watched the NBC evening news....no mention of the Julian Bond statement....
maybe there was a technical glitch....
On a slightly different note, NBC did air a segment on the Muslim outrage against certain European news publications printing cartoons of Mohammed....
However, Brian Williams prefaced the segment by saying NBC would NOT show the cartoons in question!
Figures....what a bunch of cow dung....
