Former NAACP chairman Julian Bond is perfectly fine with government coming down unfairly on people he hates. “Hates,” by the way, is not too strong a word. On MSNBC today, Bond dubbed the Tea Party the “Taliban wing of American politics” while opining that it’s fine with him if the IRS targets them while his group keeps its tax exempt status.
“I don’t think there’s a double standard at all,” Bond said. “I think it’s entirely legitimate to look at the tea party.”
“I mean, here are a group of people who are admittedly racist, who are overtly political, who tried as best they can to harm President [Barack] Obama in every way they can,” Bond continued.
“They are the Taliban wing of American politics and we all ought to be a little worried about them,” Bond asserted.
When asked if his assessment of the Tea Party was “a little harsh,” Bond said that it was not. “The truth hurts,” Bond insisted.
Video at the link. Bond starts off with a lie, accusing the Tea Party of being “admittedly racist.” The literal meaning of Bond’s words is that the Tea Party itself admits to being racist. When has that happened? Bond here has launched one of those “When did you stop beating your wife?” attacks, to which there is no good response to a false allegation. It’s fundamentally unfair and dishonest.
The NAACP accused then Gov. George W. Bush of being complicit in a black man’s murder. Under Bush, Texas convicted and eventually executed one of the men responsible for that crime....

Julian Bond, MSMs darling of the 1970s And what did he do, host Saturday Nite Live as his biggest accomplishment?
Julian who?
How will African-Americans ever prosper if this clown typifies what passes for leadership?
“I mean, here are a group of people who are admittedly racist, who are overtly political, who tried as best they can to harm President [Barack] Obama in every way they can,”
Oh, and the NAACP is not racist and political? What do those people smoke?
“I mean, here are a group of people who are admittedly racist, who are overtly political,
***Tea Party has nothing to do with race, but the NAACP is utterly focused on race, and they’re “overtly political”. Sounds like he’s engaging in projection.
Those of us who recall Bond from the 70’s may wonder if he was in some ways the prototype for 0bama. I do.
How is the Tea Party “admittedly racist”. That label has been attempted by left but hasn’t really stuck outside the the obamaphiles.
Hate to break it to Uncle Tom, but the day will come when the WILL be a conservative administration. Be careful what you wish for.
the wrong side won in 1865
Lloyd Marcus will be surprised to hear he is a racist!
Add Julian to the “Justice Brudders”, Sharpton and J. Jackson.
The black leadership does not want blacks to prosper....the NAACP and people like Julian Bond, Sharpton and Jackson would be out of work if they did.
Julian Bond, good friend of Jimmy Carter, is a racist and communist. Whatever else could we expect from him!
There should be a yearly Oscar Awards night for Best Liar and Best Cartoon.
This guy would be a nominee for both categories.
The statuette, of course, would be a replica of Pinocchio.

“Lloyd Marcus will be surprised to hear he is a racist!

They will just call Lloyd and Uncle Tom. Just pathetic what the NAACP has become.
Professional race axe grinder - crazy as a s*it house rat. Decades past his "use by" date
Hey Julian go look up your pal Charlie Rangel and see how in love with the IRS he is... or your tax cheating buddy boy Geithner. Pathetic nest of Rats and scoundrels up and down the spectrum.
The grievance industry is a huge one, and the source of many jobs for ethnic minorities that are unqualified for them. Just as the Quartering Act forced colonists to host British troops, now affirmative action forces companies to host unproductive, unqualified workers based solely on their color (I am not referring to genuinely qualified, competent people; they are victims of suspicion because of the former).
They need to change their name to NAACA..The National Organization For the Advancement of the Communist Agenda..because that is what they are..Communists
But, of course, he’d be screaming bloody murder if the IRS singled out Black groups for scrutiny.
Hyocritical horse’s *ss.
