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.

Michelle has been itching to get out of the gate since they shut her up his first year....this gal is no stay at home mom no matter how that song is sung. Once she gets flapping her jaws again too much...and she will...they’ll shut her up again.

Meanwhile have others recognized that some very clear and distinct lines are being drawn to entice some very real and dangerous fights on the horizon....these comments and coming from ABC news no less...are race baiting remarks of course...but this is popping up all over the place.

It’s more than unnerving seeing blacks, mexicans, latinos, muslims, all being cowtowed to by this administration...and not with peaceful intent...or am I imagining this??????

What a totally classless First Lady.

I think Michelle and Barack misunderstood the socialists when they said they wanted to created a classless society.

It seems to be a coordinated effort with ABC. Tonights ABC webpage features Michelle’s comments to the NAACP and hi-lights the accusations of racial epithets and abusive treatment on the part of Tea Partiers and then provides this link as proof: Rand Paul defending his controversial remarks.
http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/rand-paul-defends-discrimination-remarks-10708471
Like RAND PAUL is representative of the Tea Partier’s objectives. With the MSM pushing this hard, this early- I shudder to think how they may sway the vote. They really have panicked. And I think this indicates there is a Journolist 2.0 out there that the MSM will use to ‘save’ this election like they ‘saved’ the ‘08’ election!!!!

Black conservatives (like me) get even more grief from black folks than white conservatives do...

"Thank you" for who you are seems both inappropriate and inadequate...but thank you.
