First Lady Michelle Obama brought renewed energy to the NAACP today, delivering the keynote speech at the annual convention one day before the nation's largest civil rights group is expected to condemn what it calls racist elements in the Tea Party movement.
The nation's largest and oldest civil rights organization will vote on the resolution Tuesday during its annual convention in Kansas City, Mo. In addition to jobs and the economy, anti-Tea Party activism has been a large focus of the gathering, which conservative leaders say is driven solely by a political agenda.
The resolution is part of the movement to realign people against the Tea Party, which has emerged as a strong grassroots, albeit fragmented, force across the country.
"We have to close the enthusiasm gap," NAACP president Ben Jealous said in an interview with the Associated Press Friday. "The danger of the Tea Party is that people see them and think about periods in history when groups like them were much more powerful than they are now, and so a lot of what we spend energy doing is explaining to people what reality is, and that the reality is that the majority from 2008 still exists."
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in coordination with 170 other groups, including labor unions, is planning a protest march in Washington, D.C., Oct. 10 as the next step in building momentum against the Tea Party.

Imagine a White first lady delivering a keynote speech to an organization called, National Association for the Advancement of White People.
These people are RACIST PIGS and need to be BOOTED OUT of the halls of power IMMEDIATELY!
Oh, good grief. How many different sized polka dots can one dress have?
As for the racist nonsense. Calling everyone with whom you disagree a racist has lost its cache.
Hey Michelle... STFU!!
NOT racists:

FReepmail GOP_Lady if you want on or off this ping list
Lets hope this thing some call First lady is the last we see of this first very soon.
She does not represent this country and all of the people. She is an embarrassment and a fraud.
NAACP president Ben Jealous”
You can’t make this stuff up.
> Michelle: Lets face it, Whitey is racist.
Did she really say that?
If so, it should be repeated over and over and over to every Leftist until his tiny little brain implodes.
The hypocrisy in that statement is so glaring, that Michelle Obama must be a total MORON to have missed the irony.
SHe may look like a Wookie, but she’s definitely nowhere near as smart.
Can’t wait for their protest march against the Tea Party, I’m sure it will be as huge and enthusiastic as the pathetic 2003 “Millions for Reparations” rally on the National Mall.
What an idiot. We are also harking back to a time when Black people were heros and KNEW their OWN history! Unlike today, when organizations like NAACP align with organizations like ACORN and the Weather Underground! Both racist organizations. Black folk once knew their own history, now all the seem to know is what a few racists have taught them over the last couple of generations.
Irony of all Irony’s is this: The New Black Panthers, ACORN, NAACP, et al. all espouse killing white babies and “crackers”. Who is the undisputed ruler of the Democrat party? It’s exclusively WHITE.
Is that not ironic as all get out?
This fall the Democrats will be saying “Where da white voters?”
I hope the people coordinating the TEA Party issue a statement condemning the racist elements of the NAACP.
More power for the new black klan, nice.
Excellent point.
Has the NAALCP (National Association of Liberal Colored People) changed since that rabido racist, Julian Bond, headed it?
It's amazing the anxiety that say Sarah Palin or the Tea Party movement causes amongst these dimwits. This isn't 2008 and all their foot stomping and histrionics won't make it so.
