Hmm? Wasn't it the NAACP that ran the advertisement during election 2000
that basically insinuated that George W. Bush was responsible for the dragging
death of James Byrd in Jasper, Texas?

Hmmm...NAACP criticizes Republican President. In other news, the sky is still blue, and grass is still green.

Appearing at the convention, the Rev. Jesse Jackson on Monday characterized Mr. Bush, leaders in Congress and judges on the courts as "the most threatening combination to civil rights in 50 years."

So when they start approving Bush's judicial appointments?
Most of those are clintoon appointees.

fyi........

These people are so desperate to maintain their power and prestige! When will their members see that helping the people is not the NAACP's real goal anymore?

I read another report that gave more of Bond's one-liners, and, objectively speaking, they were pretty clever. No doubt, Hollywood limousine liberals had their writers work on the remarks for him

Civil rights have faltered during the Bush administration.

And exactly what else would we expect from Kwambly Mujumbly-wumbly and his race baiters? “Civil rights have reached the point where people are judged by their own abilities and character. Affirmative action, hate crimes legistlation, and other government preferences are no longer needed nor is the NAACP. Thanks for all your support, now let’s all go find real, productive jobs.”

Not likely…

What is a civil right anyway?
Is it another way of saying special rights?
Thought we were all equal...

Hey, let's not let the facts get in the way of a Jesse Jackson tirade. Sheesh.

Appearing at the convention, the Rev. Jesse Jackson on Monday characterized Mr. Bush, leaders in Congress and judges on the courts as "the most threatening combination to civil rights in 50 years."

Most threatening combination.... beats Stalin and Mao, Hitler and Mussolini, Ted Turner and Jane Fonda.

The Revvvverrrrund Jacksssson has come undone.

I like Bush's response to a question referring to the NAACP's convention:

"I sit across the table from Condi Rice and Colin Powell everyday."

Enough said.

NAACP says administration failing to address civil rights

And just as an election cycle begins to get into full swing. No racial politics being played here...

People who believe this stuff are so stupid/democRAT...

The NAACP is like the dinosaur shown on A&E's "Walking with Dinosaurs" being blown-away by the shockwave from the comet 65 million years ago.

"Walking with Liberals," coming this fall, from Fox!

NAACP President Kweisi Mfume criticized Mr. Bush for not meeting with the group to discuss policy since he took office.

Gee, the NAALCP slanders and disses the new president, then can't figure out why they aren't invited to meetings with Dubya! Duh. Maybe someone should explain to them how responsible adults behave when they are interested in participating in a grown-up manner at the policy table.

The NAACP is run by clowns and no one, other than racists, take it seriously anymore.

A report released at the news conference evaluated progress in all 50 states, giving 24 grades of D or F.

How much you want to be that those 24 states are the ones with Republican governors and administrations?

Non-partisan indeed...

[MeekOneGOP]

LOL! Oh, yeah, thanks. I'm back to reality now.........

NAACP Chairman Julian Bond opened the convention Sunday, charging that Mr. Bush has failed to keep a promise made to the NAACP convention in 2000 to enforce civil rights laws.

Exactly how does George Bush enforce civil rights laws?

Mr. Bond said that since Mr. Bush's election, groups opposed to civil rights have "ascended to unprecedented positions of power within the federal government."

????? I did not know that "groups" were given positions of power, only individuals. Interesting. Bond admits that from his point of view, an appointed person is supposed to serve some "group".

Mr. Bond singled out for criticism Attorney General John Ashcroft, describing him as a cross between former FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover and the Rev. Jerry Falwell, neither regarded by blacks as a friend.

Although I have many problems with Ashcroft, I have seen nothing he has done or said targeted at blacks. And his stupid mention of Falwell shows his contempt for Christians.

"You can't be president of all the people when you only want to deal with some of the people," he said.

Ironic comments comming from a person heading a group that represents the views of less than 5%-6% of the country. There will always be some jerkoffs in society whom you must ignore, this time, it happens to be the race-bating NAACP.

By the tone of the article, you would think blacks have been rounded up en masse since January 2001 and The Justice Department has started burning down black neighborhoods.

Perhaps a name change is warranted, National Association for the Advancement of Clown People (NAACP)!

[MeekOneGOP]

Exactly. And one step further - they're the ones that could address this
criticism most effectively, imho..........
