Tea Party Is Dealt The Race Card

Racial Politics: The NAACP, in crafting a resolution condemning racism in the Tea Party movement, seems to have forgotten those Black Panthers with clubs intimidating voters and wanting to kill white people.

The "angry mobs" that reshaped the 2010 political landscape are angry white racist mobs, at least according to a resolution proposed by the NAACP at its annual convention this week in Kansas City, Mo.

The resolution calls on "all people of good will to repudiate the racism of the Tea Parties, and to stand in opposition to its drive to push our country back to the pre-civil rights era," said Anita Russell, head of the Kansas City chapter of the NAACP. "We need to realize it's really not about limited government." We suppose "tax cuts" is also code for racism.

The resolution comes after the late Sen. Robert C. Byrd, former grand kleagle of the Ku Klux Klan, was honored for his service to the nation that included leading the filibuster against the 1964 Civil Rights Act, supported in greater percentages by Republicans in the House and Senate.

It also comes as the Civil Rights Commission tries to unravel why the Obama administration refuses to prosecute members of the New Black Panther Party who in 2008 stood outside a Philadelphia polling place, dressed in paramilitary garb, one brandishing a nightstick, and saying things like, "You are about to be ruled by the black man, cracker!"

One of the Black Panthers involved, King Samir Shabazz, can be seen in a 2009 National Geographic documentary interview saying: "You want freedom? You're gonna have to kill some crackers! You're gonna have to kill some of their babies." Or at least those racists who opposed ObamaCare.

The NAACP has outlived any reason for its existence. It should be disbanded.

Of course Michelle Obama fits right in with them because she and her husband are as hateful and biased as the idiots who run the organization.

It is tragic that ignorant black racists control an organization that used to legitimately work to address racial injustices of the past. Now the NAACP is a tool of the anti-American Muslim impostor who dirties the Oval Office with his unqualified, incompetent presence.

I'm a Tea Party supporter and I am black.

Yeah... but you're 'black', not 'Black'.

[Apercu]

I guess the 95% of blacks who voted for Obama did so because of his platform. /s

When logic fails and you are losing the argument always pull out the race card.

More like, When logic fails and you are losing the argument, always pull out the billy club.

Liberals crying Race is like a Hooker crying Rape.

Excellent point

This is a fight that neither the lame stream nor the left want the tea party to push back on.
You see, normally the silent majority just ignores any jabs and lets things quiet down.
But answer me this: If Sarah Palin asks the Tea Party to push back on this, to actually make the media accountable on this, to make people feel OK about being on the right side of this, who do you think that helps?
NOT the lamestream and not the left, that’s who.
The woman is a genius, from Death Panels to helping Megyn Kelly get all in your face with Kirsten Powers ( with the Mama Grizzly well timed ad ).
They are playing right into HER timing and momentum by raising this craptacular issue now.
I was only going to head to DC once this summer, for 9-12, but NOW I am going to go to Glen Beck Restore Rally also on 8-28.
Thanks NAACP, you are moving a LOT more people than you think, you and your lamestream friends, and it is not going to help you a bit !

The Marianas trench isn't deep enough to measure the depths of liberal hypocrisy.

[glennaro]

with 94% of negroes supporting Barack Obama, what difference does it make what the NAACP says?

Please ... this is the racist NAACP that we're talking about. It's not "negroes", it's "colored people" dontcha know?

[chris_bdba]

Of course it was...probably typed and hand delievered by Michelle when she spoke earlier!

[Cheetahcat]

Who cares what this joke of an outfit does??

[UCANSEE2]

Anyone believe this wasn’t instigated by the White House?

Remember the 'almost riots' this Friday? Obama supplied the 'unruly crowd of white union workers', and made no move to keep the ANARCHISTS who ANNOUNCED they were going to be there, away.

He let the POLICE CHIEF deal with it.

The CHIEF knew he was being played. He ordered his troops to REFRAIN from the exact 'triggers' the Anarchists were attempting to set off.

So, it didn't get out of control, didn't get people killed, didn't cause the CHAOS they hoped for.

We owe the lives of many who would have been killed all across the country has this 'riot' not been controlled, and keep from absorbing the attention of the MEDIA.

The CHIEF of POLICE is a great American, and a great chief .

>> what difference does it make

Conservatives should not assume its platform is unattractive to those in the Black community.

"Relax, We knew this would be a hot summer with a lot of mud slinging."

You think calling for blacks to kill crackers and their babies is "mud slinging"? It's not, it's a call to arms, and it's not isolated.

"November will be here, things will change."

Don't you think the Commies know what's coming, and are working on all sorts of underhanded and illegal ways to subvert the elections? Relax? I think not!

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

[Terry Mross]

I hope they keep it up. It just shows how desperate they are and what liars they are. This mud they’re slingin’ ain’t stickin’. Everyone knows it’s b.s. And it’s going to be hard for them to start a race war when a large chunk of their race will be fighting as patriots.

[Tigerized]

Didn’t Andrew Breitbart offer $100,000 to ANYONE who had proof of the Tea Party either spitting on the delegation OR using the “N” epithet? I remember seeing video footage of Pelosi and her oversized gavel, striding through the crowd with members of the CBC trying to instigate a confrontation.

Nothing happened. No one’s collected.

And yet! There was some alligator-mouthed asshat from the NAACP on FOX today, making the claim that it actually happened!!

Facts mean nothing to these people. The truth to them is like Kryptonite to Superman.

[Terry Mross]

I love this sign. Today Simpson and Bowles are talking about doing away with the mortgage tax credit. That would be about a $1,500 tax hike for me. And lots more for others. Talk about destroying the housing industry. Then again, it’s probably all part of their plan.
