All of this rather reminds me of when Adolph Hitler decided to purge Ernst Röhm from the National Socialist movement.
I think the Letter is funny and the NAACP needs laughed at!! NOT respected ,The kill white babies by their friends forever killed that also within me.
Who exactly is the tea party federation?
and it begins.... I’ve said it many times but I will say it again, don’t expect to win this battle with tea parties and playing nice. You can’t fight evil, Marxist criminals that way. We may win a battle, but we will never win the war.
Newt Gingrich says Tea Parties should hold town hall meetings with the NAACP to find common ground. Will the Tea Party Federation take Newt’s advice?
This was a VERY stupid move.
What a good pick to use CBS. /sarcasm
I don’t know who the National Tea Party Federation is but they sure don’t represent me. This sounds like shades of Dick Armey and other neocons.
All the more reason not to let ANYONE represent your views. Represent them yourself.
He's been close to producing an idiot eruption for months, and finally just couldn't hold back. It was inevitable.
“Dear Mr. Lincoln,” began the fictional letter posted by Williams. “We Coloreds have taken a vote and decided that we don’t cotton to that whole emancipation thing. Freedom means having to work for real, think for ourselves, and take consequences along with the rewards. That is just far too much to ask of us Colored People and we demand that it stop!”
Sometimes the voices in ones’ head gain control over the mind. It’s an ugly thing to witness.

"Dear Mr. Lincoln
We Coloreds have taken a vote and decided that we don’t cotton to that whole emancipation thing. Freedom means having to work for real, think for ourselves, and take consequences along with the rewards. That is just far too much to ask of us Colored People and we demand that it stop!
In fact we held a big meeting and took a vote in Kansas City this week. We voted to condemn a political revival of that old abolitionist spirit called the ‘tea party movement’.
The tea party position to “end the bailouts” for example is just silly. Bailouts are just big money welfare and isn’t that what we want all Coloreds to strive for? What kind of racist would want to end big money welfare? What they need to do is start handing the bail outs directly to us coloreds! Of course, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is the only responsible party that should be granted the right to disperse the funds.
And the ridiculous idea of “reduce[ing] the size and intrusiveness of government.” What kind of massa would ever not want to control my life? As Coloreds we must have somebody care for us otherwise we would be on our own, have to think for ourselves and make decisions!
The racist tea parties also demand that the government “stop the out of control spending.” Again, they directly target coloreds. That means we Coloreds would have to compete for jobs like everybody else and that is just not right.
Perhaps the most racist point of all in the tea parties is their demand that government “stop raising our taxes.” That is outrageous! How will we coloreds ever get a wide screen TV in every room if non-coloreds get to keep what they earn? Totally racist! The tea party expects coloreds to be productive members of society?
Mr. Lincoln, you were the greatest racist ever. We had a great gig. Three squares, room and board, all our decisions made by the massa in the house. Please repeal the 13th and 14th Amendments and let us get back to where we belong.
Sincerely
Precious Ben Jealous, Tom’s Nephew NAACP Head Colored Person"
I guess he intended some cute satire here, but this is so over the the line it would not survive as a Free Republic Vanity post. Mark Williams picked the worst possible time to get cute, especially as a leader of one Tea Party organization.
“National Tea Party Federation” = left wing front group or cowards. This is exactly what Always Wrong Joe Biden has been praying for. The Tea Party is a movement not an organization or a “federation”. I guess it’s time for more active, unorganized TEA Parties leading up to the Election. What counts is Turn out not Turn off.
We have no officers,no headquarters, no plans to be a third political Party.
Organizations can be hijacked and infiltrated which is why We The People are so threatening. We are held together by our love of this country, not by mission statements,bylaws etc etc...
God Bless America
