Michelle Obama Rouses NAACP Before Vote Condemning 'Racist' Elements of Tea Party
ABC News ^

Posted on 07/12/2010 7:11:32 PM PDT by Scythian

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 her speech, the first lady focused on the issue of childhood obesity and her "Let's Move" initiative, but outside of her remarks, anti-Tea Party activism has been a key focus of the gathering, which conservative leaders say is driven solely by a political agenda.

Tea Party members have used "racial epithets," have verbally abused black members of Congress and threatened them, and protestors have engaged in "explicitly racist behavior" and "displayed signs and posters intended to degrade people of color generally and President Barack Obama specifically," according to the proposed resolution.

Just. Wow.

Before these two are done, the guillotine is going to be resurrected for some elitist hide; it'll be all the rage amongst what used to be the middle class.

You want to see a racist, Michelle? Look in the mirror. Though it may crack.

Such unseemly behavior in a first lady let alone any politician. To fight off her husband’s critics, she ‘gins up’ the NAACP to label Tea Partiers racist so that this can be used in the Nov. elections to keep both houses for Dems. Has someone has forgotten that one Dem favoring poll put the percentage of minorities in the Tea Party at 25%. I imagine labeling minorities as minority hating racists may not help but then again...maybe it’s intended to chastise that 25% into returning to the fold of the Democrat party. Why use Michelle? Couldn’t Obama use Rev. Wright or some other person that would distance the White House from actual racial agitation? It’s already known that the ‘New Black Panthers’ were daring Beck to show up on the mall for MLK’s birthday and first lady Michelle does THIS?

“....The nation’s largest and oldest civil rights organization will vote on the resolution Tuesday during its annual convention in Kansas City, Mo......”

It may have been a “Civil Rights Organization” back when, but IMO it’s foundering in a sea of Racism today.

Amazing how they would purposely alienate 70% of the voting population.

Tea Party members have used "racial epithets..."

Show me.

have verbally abused black members of Congress and threatened them...

Show me.

and protestors have engaged in "explicitly racist behavior..."

Show me.

and "displayed signs and posters intended to degrade people of color generally...

Show me.

and President Barack Obama specifically..."

Show me.

Have any of you reading this thread seen or heard anything to back up these allegations?

I call out the NAACP. Words are cheap and worthless. Show us the pictures. Let us listen to the audio. Show us the video. Prove your allegations or go home.

I think you are right on all points. Also, as long as we shoot on the vertical rather then the horizontal ... we will win. (just a shooters aside, nothing to see here.)

Exactly. The Obama’s are not the president and first lady of all the people - only some of the people.

I cannot stand being the Hated Cracker Honkey scumbag, the White Devil any more. Can I please be black now? The POTUS and the FLOTUS have convinced me that I, by virtue of the color of my skin, am completely without any merit whatsoever, and that I am to be driven before them in shame, and in exile.

The headline makes it look like Michelle Obama mentioned the Tea Party. But the content of the excerpt makes it clear she did NOT mention the Tea Party...only that others in the NAALCP are upset at the Tea Party.

ABC is trying to start a race war. :)

I hereby condemn in the strongest possible terms the NAACP as a proven professional racist group of glass jawed thugs.

“So this is what “Post-racial” means

Same as our post turtle president”

And sadly, so did the kids. Can you imagine how they are faring in a private school (Sidwell Friends) full of rich, WHITE crackers???? It’s a good thing they import their friends from Chicago in.
