Disgusting! NAACP Leader Ben Jealous Labels Tea Party "White Supremist Group" – Links Movement to KKK, Stormfront and David Duke
Posted by Jim Hoft on Saturday, July 17, 2010, 6:29 AM
DISGUSTING— NAACP Chief and smear merchant Ben Jealous just linked the tea party groups to the KKK, Stormfront and David Duke.
And, it looks like he just labeled the tea party a “white supremist group.”
Unbelievable.
Via CNN:
This week at the NAACP annual convention, we passed over 75 resolutions. They addressed critical issues from education equity, to fixing our broken criminal justice and immigration systems, to our top priority: jobs, jobs, jobs.
One resolution, which was highlighted in my convention speech, created media frenzy: The unanimously passed resolution demanded that the leadership of the Tea Party repudiate its racist elements and make it clear that there is no space in the organization for bigotry.
It is unfortunate that at a time when our nation is reeling in the midst of one of the most devastating downturns in our economy since the Great Depression, the NAACP is compelled to deal with a disturbing, corrosive attack from the Tea Party.
Instead of joining us to repudiate racism, Tea Party leaders have attempted a tit for tat and demanded that we condemn the New Black Panther Party for reported hate speech. It is a false argument. Of course we condemn hate speech from anyone and any organization, including the New Black Panther Party. But that party is a mere flea compared to the influence and size of the Tea Party. And the New Black Panther Party is not a member of the NAACP. What we are asking the Tea Party to eschew is not the racism of some outside organization, but the bigotry within.
After my speech, I was approached by a man named Chris, who asked that his last name not be used. He’s a member of both the Tea Party and the NAACP. He thanked me for denouncing the racist elements of a party to which he is loyal. He explained that he felt increasingly uncomfortable within the Tea Party. We want Chris to live in a world where he can feel comfortable in both organizations.
Over 2000 delegates voted. The resolution was proposed by our Missouri State Conference, from the home state of the Council of Conservative Citizens, widely recognized as the linear descendant of the White Citizens Council. Their fealty to racism is not obscured.
Like Stormfront.org, a website founded by former KKK leader Don Black, the Council celebrates its allegiance to and influence in the Tea Party. The avowed racist David Duke notes that thousands of Tea Party activists have urged him to run for president. When the Tea Party marches by, Duke thinks it’s his fiesta.
Our members know too well the pain and the potential danger of white supremacist groups. Since our resolution was publicized, a number of our branches and our corporate offices are reporting violent threats.We have all seen the blatantly racist signs portraying President Obama as a monkey. We have seen the press conference with the civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis describing how he was spit on and called the N-word, or Rep. Barney Frank being called a vicious slur for gay men.
Dick Armey and other Tea Party leaders have not only refused to disavow the racism — they have denied it.
With increased influence comes increased responsibility. It is long past time for Dick Armey and the Tea Party leadership to take a stance. Instead, they remain silent while many of the group’s leaders are attacking the NAACP, calling a historically multiracial, anti-racist organization “racist.” We are receiving death threats and other threats of violence for asking them to rout the violent, racist factions in their midst.
The NAACP is working hard to move our nation forward. We have joined with almost 200 other organizations representing people of all races, creeds and faiths to form a movement to pull America back together and put America back to work. “One Nation Working Together” is the antithesis to the bitter polarization being bred by the Tea Party and its ilk. It represents a clarion call to unity, to come together as a country.
On October 2 we will gather in Washington in a march for jobs, to demand a fair economy that works for all. We will embrace hope and possibility — not hate…
Did he really just go there?
I’m with Andrew Breitbart on this one.

So tell me how comfortable a short fat white woman of about (coughfiftysomething) feel at an NAACP meeting? I think we should demand a Presidential decree, just like they did for gays, sanctifying that everyone feel comfortable at all these racist groups, or just the ones that identifiy themselves by race in the name of their organization. And that would be…..

Am I missing something?
A pasty white guy is the head of the NAACP?
Seriously – is this a prank? Onion, right?
Ken commented:
What Jealous did was provide an example to prove his case: by and large, the Tea Party is not racist. But some Tea Partiers support the notorious racist David Duke.
Bob commented:
Education “equity”, demanding jobs . Sounds like the “you owe me” folks are a bit fearful of quiet America waking up. This playing the race card is a sign of desperation.
Kerry commented:
It seems to me the best response to these lying scumbag persons of perfidy is not refuting the nonsense but to deflect it. I think they realize, consciously or not, that the principles upon which the tea party is based are outflanking them on their ‘skin color is solidarity and character’ strategy, and so an assault based on lies is their obvious response; it’s always worked before. If stick together based on skin color begins to be questioned by those who so stuck, and is replaced by “and endowed by their Creator…”, and other foundational principles, then the NAALCP, and all the ‘rainbowqueercoalitionactpink’ groups, fronts, and all the rest will shrink by attrition.
“Nov 2010: PUNISH WASHINGTON!”
Ohio Granny commented:
Maybe some Tea Partiers support David Duke but most of the ones I know find him as limited, ignorant, and uninspiring as the NAACP. I have to wonder if the leaders of these two groups, the NAACP on one side and the KKK on the other, aren’t secret friends. You know, they chat it up at night about how to get the rubes aroused with their rhetoric and laugh and laugh about the con job.
This is the most press they have gotten in years.
Sickofobama commented:
Stormfront?
That’s Commie Van Jones organization.
KKK?
That’s the guy that wore the white sheet who just passed away, Democrat Senator Robert Byrd.
David Duke?
He believe he was a member of the KKK.
These people are doing whatever they can to start a race war.
If there is a race war, it will because Barack “Insane” and Michelle Obama. And Eric Holder.

Is Stormfront lying? Is the White Citizen’s Council lying? It also stands to reason that racists would seek cover by flocking to a group with respectable reasons to oppose Obama

Bill C commented:
As I pointed out in another thread yesterday. Now that the NAACP has made it official:
In a similar vein I remember the NAACP saying something to the effect of “You have Stormfront organizing attendance at Tea Parties so we know there are racist there” but lookee what I found: “Stormfronters’ Rally In Crawford” to “put up a White Nationalist voice in the protest against Bush’s War for Israel that was started by Cindy Sheehan.” http://www.stormfront.org/forum/t227062/
No resolution condemning the anti-war movement? I’m shocked! shocked! the NAACP lacks the integrity to condemn a movement with racist elements in it when it agrees with that movement’s liberal objectives.
aro5o75 commented:
The NAACP is taking Obowma’s lead and are now a communist organization.
They are irrelevant.
Robert commented:
One of the dangers here is that this continuing assault will divert the Tea Party from its core philosophy, that of limited government and spending. As this campaign heats up, repeated defense against being called a racist could bring calls to engage in racial activist-type pursuits as proof.
Since most racial-activists want to use the power of government to force the private sector to behave in certain ways, which is contrary to basic Tea Party philosophy, acceding to this demand would be a severe blow to the overall integrity of the Tea Party.
Robert commented:
Re: #18

Expect these kinds of charges to increase as we get closer to November. NONE of it is provable. Also expect counter protests and infiltration into Tea Parties and the incitement of racism and probably violence.
It’s crunch time people! Either lead, follow or get out of the way!
Joseph commented:
Are there racists in the Tea Party? Perhaps. In the NAACP? Perhaps. Are there child molesters or wife-beaters in either group? Again, perhaps. But there is no proof of either, only hypotheticals. The NAACP demands that the Tea Party condemn hypothetical racism within its “organization”. Then, the libs can say, “See? They just admitted to being racist.” This is a trap, and I implore the Tea Party leadership not to walk into it. The NAACP is declaring war on any and all conservative group, of which the Tea Party is the most apparent. It’s all politically motivated. They should be ashamed, but, alas, they have no shame!
Insufficiently Sensitive commented:
It looks like the left, from Obama on down, are frightened enough about the Tea Parties that they’re throwing all kinds of resources into this new ‘racist’ narrative against them. The MSM is amplifying and coordinating it – in fact inviting it from one and all. Any remark attempting to link TP to extremists is repeated endlessly, with the effect of a media din connecting TP and racism in the minds of a passive public. In fact, the headline of this GP article helps that narrative along.
It’s Alinsky – isolate, demonize, repeat and repeat, counting on MSM support. A counterattack against NAACP, the NBBP, and the MSM itself is needed. Bob Owens has made a good start at PJ Media with his ‘Stephen Glass Redux’, but we need more.
Ken commented:

Why do some Tea Partiers support David Duke?
Danny commented:
Some one should remine NAACP that the democrate party is the founder of the KKK.
It was a racist Democrat President, Woodrow Wilson, who premiered Birth of a Nation in the White House. That racist movie was based on a racist book written by one of Wilson’s racist friends from college. In 1915, the movie spawned the modern-day Klan, with its burning crosses and white sheets.

Jim,
If this keeps up, I think a good bunch of the Tea Parties across the country will have to file a Federal lawsuit against the NAACP for defamation of character.
Not that it might work, but I think they have gone too far. It’s time to consider that option. Too many good people are being sullied and their reputations damaged because of this. What if one of the Tea Party leaders loses a job, a contract or something else because of his political affiliation? What if one or a good bunch of the leaders are defamed publicly in their local environments? That is a real possibility.
Of course, Breitbart sending his spies will help plenty…

Luckily, not as much of the public is as passive as it has been in the past…they may not consider themselves tea partiers but they do sympathize and – blessedly – have seen zero evidence of what the TP has been accused of.
Even better, they now also realize to what lengths the statists will go to demonize threats to their power.
Not saying it’s enough to save the republic, but it’s a good thing.

WSG commented:
Assuming that it is true, what does a racist stand to gain from joining the Tea Party? Libs are currently whipping out any association that might make someone think twice about standing with the Tea Party. If people join together against big government, and actually succeed in restoring power to a Constitutionally lawful level, the NAACP and other like organizations lose power as well.
If, being the only bump in the road interrupting the increasing intrusion/expansion of the federal government, isn’t enough reason to support the Tea Party, then the thought of eroding the impact of the NAACP’s racists would be a compelling point.
There are many types of people who stand against the growth of government. I suppose some may be racist, but it does not follow that they are at a Tea Party because they are racist, or that they are against the expansion of government because they are racist, or that the expansion of government is only protested by racists. And yet, that is the implication that these lib leaders are trying to make. It is not just the NAACP, you are seeing the same sort of smearing under the same or similar tactics coming from any organization that would lose from a smaller federal government. They are merely trying to change the dialog. Keep your eye on the ball.
The Tea Party, if I understand correctly, is more distributed leadership and overall loose association than the NAACP. It stands to reason that it is harder for them to control the message, though it seems they have done an admirable job. What is the NAACP’s excuse?
Galt commented:
Let’s all stay on alert here. On the one hand, we’ve got these “revolutionary” parties such as the NAACP hurling specious (and hypocritical) accusations of racism. On the other we’ve got the government apparatus actively implementing racialist redistribution/enforcement policies.
What does this mean for your right to vote, your right to property, your right to equal protection under law, or even your access to a fair trial?
History tells us that forced collectivizations look like. Dissenters are treated in much the same way the Tea Party is being treated now, and it gets worse from there

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie.

Congrats. The Tea Party has Obama deeply concerned and scared. The Commie minions are out in full force desperate to maintain their power hold. Since Tea Party hasn’t done anything wrong, radical PR strategy calls for tying together an emotional figure (David Duke) and trying to make him one with the Tea Party in all MSM messaging. ‘Aint gonna work Commies. Tea Partiers, you can play defense and defend against these allegations. You can sue NAACP, as others have suggested, but if you’re really lucky, the Department of Justice will review the case one day. No, no, no. Play offense. Stick to the course. NAACP is a distraction attack dog sent by the commie masters. Ignore it. Press on and keep focus on the topics of Job Losses under Obama policies and Debt levels under Obama policies.
Stay the course. Don’t allow the distraction. Can’t wait till November.

“The NAACP is taking Obowma’s lead and are now a communist organization.”
The NAACP has ALWAYS been a communist organization:
“Communism and Racial Tension:
Promoting racial tension to destabilize American society”
In the book A Racial Program for the Twentieth Century, published in 1913 by Israel Cohen of the Fabian Society (a follow-up to Zangwill’s Melting Pot), he wrote:
“”We must realize that our Party’s most powerful weapon is racial tension. By propounding into the consciousness of the dark races, that for centuries have been oppressed by the whites, we can mold them to the program of the Communist Party … In America, we will aim for subtle victory.”
In 1922, the Russian Comintern provided $300,000 for the spreading of communist propaganda among Negroes. In 1925, the Communist Party U.S.A. told its members:
“”The aim of our Party in our work among the Negro masses is to create a powerful proletarian movement which will fight and lead the struggle of the Negro race against the exploitation and oppression in every form and which will be a militant part of the revolutionary movement of the whole American working class … and connect them with the struggles of national minorities and colonial peoples of all the world and thereby the cause of world revolution and the dictatorship of the proletariat.”
Which brings us to the NAACP:
“Jacob Schiff, the Rothschild’s man in America, decided that the best way to create racial tension was to establish leadership among the blacks. In 1909, he laid out plans for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). It was the merging of the communist-controlled Niagara Movement, a group of blacks led by W.E.B. duBois, and a group of white social activists.”
“Communist Party members were told to join the NAACP in order to infiltrate them. The Communist Party platform stated: “The Negro race must understand that capitalism means racial oppression, and communism means social and racial equality.”

I merely recognize that this is a tactic that people use to disrupt the purpose of an organization. There are racist element in your midst. Congrats. There are racist elements posing as the arbiters of racism. There are people who see everything through a prism of race. I am not sure what the Tea Party to do with race.
Let’s say that the Tea Party condemns this person who hates Obama because he is black, and he stops his overt racist ways. Is he no longer racist? Now he can peacefully protest? How do we identify him now?

Dude’s name is Ben Jealous? LMAO That automatically disqualifies from him saying anything intelligent.
PS. The NAACP are the real racists. They openly welcome and support insanely bigoted black nationalists and black supremacists because they’ve been able to get away with it for decades. But not anymore thanks to the rise of alternative media. The NAACP is finally being exposed for the racist hate group it really is and their days of commanding any kind of respect from the ignorant masses are now over.
PPS. We oppressed whites need to create our own version of the NAACP. We can just replace the Colored with Caucasian due to decades of systematic discriminatory policies supported by the NAACP such as affirmative action. Just think of the pirceless irony when the NAACP denounces us as racists.

It’s possible the condemnation will so shame him that he changes his mind. How we identify him if he merely gives up racist behavior is entirely beside the point. If one of your own acts in an offensive manner in public, you condemn the behavior publicly and privately. That’s just basic civility, not to mention loving your neighbors.

NAACP at 100 – The Founders
[A direct predecessor to the NAACP was the Niagara Movement, which emerged from the American Negro Academy with the eminent scholar W.E.B. Du Bois as perhaps the singular strand of connective tissue bonding these significant organizations. There is a growing consensus that the NAACP was partly created in reaction to the accommodationist philosophy of Booker T. Washington and partly a response to the outbreak of race riots in 1908, particularly the orgy of violence in Springfield, Ill., where eight African-Americans were killed, two of them by lynching. Activist-journalist William English Walling witnessed the riot and was incensed by the brutality.]
NAACP FOUNDERS
[History reveals that it was three white persons that opposed
the Democrat's racist practices who started the NAACP.]
FOUNDER MARY OVINGTON (white)
[Mary Ovington did conceive of the NAACP (her name for it, according to the book Chronological History of the Negro, was originally called National Committee for the Advancement of the Negro Race). It was Miss Ovington (she was a lifelong spinster) who, along with Oswald Garrison Villard and William English Walling (both white males), on Feb. 12, 1909, sent out the "Call" to everyone they believed would be supportive of an organization that would provide blacks a new direction: integration.
Between Feb. 12, 1909, and May 1910, the future NAACP organizers held two conferences in New York City. Without question, the purpose of the first conference, which was attended by many blacks, was a desire on the part of the white organizers to see if blacks would be a receptive to the new integration agenda; and perhaps more importantly, would not protest against the societal anomaly they were suggesting. After all, integration was a complete contradiction to what currently did exist. And blacks never once marched in protest against the current living arrangements.
The first conference did allay the worries
of the white organizers of black resistance.
Thus was borne the concept of racial integration, never before practiced or even conceived of in human history (W.E.B. DuBois' Niagara Movement consisted of a number of prominent black males numbering from 12 to 27 [true figure unknown] who did issue a statement demanding that white Americans commit to race-nullification, among other things. There were three meeting between 1906 and 1908, none of which amounted to anything).
As with all new and revolutionary ideas, integration was overwhelming rejected by the group that was going to be targeted for integration: the numerically and culturally dominant white population. In fact, so ingrained was the thought from virtual all the white population that blacks should be separate, and thereby achieve a feeling of self-reliance and empowerment as a people (Booker T. Washington’s desire and pursuit) that not one single philanthropist of the day would donate a dollar to help the NAACP through its formative years.]

Most of the current generation of blacks haven’t met a single white supremacist in their lives.
But they’ve met loads of white enablers and asskissers. These purported civil-rights activists aren’t asking for justice and equality any more. They’re asking for more quotas, set-asides, and handouts.
This, despite the fact that in cities like Detroit, Cleveland, etc., blacks run the show. (And run it badly, I would add.)

One important aspect of Tea Party philosophy is that government not pick the economy’s winners or losers. In other words, people should be treated equally before the law — no favoritism, no cronyism, no special breaks.
Equal treatment — pretty much the opposite of racism.
It also happens to conflict with the platform of the Dems and the policies of this admin. Which means it’s the race-baiting Dems who should be doing the soul-searching. They’re the ones who want the racial spoils system to run in perpetuity.
We have no problem condemning racists — heck, we vote against them every cycle.

[When I ask whether it is really possible to knock off a Senate majority leader, she laughs and replies, "only Reid thinks he's too big to fail." Her strategy against the Reid attack machine is to link him to the lousy economy in Nevada. When I ask her if Nevadans want to give up Mr. Reid's clout in Washington, she replies: "When Harry Reid got to be majority leader, the unemployment rate was 4.4%. Now it is 14%, higher than even in Michigan. . . . What has Harry Reid's power done for our state?" Her new TV ad, unrolled this week, hammers this message. "We know he is going to attack me constantly," she says, because "he can't possibly run on his record."]

No. Emphatically no. The government must never be in the business of pitting one group against another, nor should it rig markets, nor should it tax anyone beyond that which the government needs to perform its core functions.
Period. No racists need apply — because cronyism and corruption would be laid bare. Idealist? We gotta aim high.

1) Tea Party is not an organization. It is a leaderless, loose affiliation.
2) All who believe in lower government spending, lower taxes, less government intrusion and adherence to Constitutional principles has been invited to join.
3) A lot of people fit that description, including the rare few bad apples.
4) Any loose agglomeration of a large number of people will have a few bad apples.
Conclusion: The Tea Party is neither more nor less obliged to call out its bad apples than any other large group of people in America.

Uh Ken, racism bad. We get it. Most Americans get it. But can you deny that the NAACP is distorting the message of the Tea Party? The Tea Party is about shrinking the size of government and liberty and freedom for ALL. What does their message/objective have to do with race? and why in the world should race be addressed if what they are trying to accomplish has NOTHING to do with it?

I have been turning al this over in my mind and wondering why are the black race baiters coming out now in force denouncing the tea partiers as racist when they patently are not. Why is the the WH inciting the blacks now? All this has to be coming from the WH and the dim party. Who else would care? Then it hit me. They are inciting their black thug supporters with hatred so they will attack the tea partiers where ever they meet. It would be a win-win situation for this administration. The black thugs attacking the tea partiers would either make them fearful and not attend these meetings therefore making this movement fade away or they will fight back and cause a riot and Obama can call for martial law and suspend the elections. These are devious people and will stop at nothing to stay in power. So don’t mock the NAACP, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson for calling the tea party racist. They are one arm of the dim party and do their bidding. These three have all incited the blacks with lies in the past and hope to in the future. This is going to be bloody, folks. Obama, who said he would bring the races together has built a wedge between them that may never be overcome. Look for more of this stuff in the future. For the first time in my life I am afraid of my government. How could 52% of the population elect a man with ties to a remote African country who even campaigned for his cousin in the country who is muslim and wants sharia law forced on that country. Now we find Obama is using tax dollars to aid him in this endeaver. So look at it this way we are funding sharia law in Kenya and who knows where else. This administration is anything but transparent.

Like gorgo (#3), I find it hilarious that a pale-face is head of the NAACP. Those racists at the NAACP must have discriminated against all the “colored” candidates for the job! Or they’re following the old one-drop rule: the tiniest drop of African blood makes you “black.”
There are many people who are maybe 1/4 African ancestry who are constantly identified, or self-identify, as “black,” while many of us allegedly racist white folks are baffled by the insistence on racial compartmentalization when we just see that everybody is “different” in one way or another. In college I knew somebody for over a year before learning that her father was black. It had never occurred to me to assign her to a separate category of humanity.
Ken commented:
Newton, I’ve spent considerable time as both a city employee and a volunteer in the projects in this town, and they’re not all or even largely black.

Chisum commented:
Is the Tea Party Racist?
Well, that was the title of the front page of the Washington Post Express yesterday. Could you imagine if the Tea Party passed a resolution calling for Obama to denounce the communists in the White House, and the next day the front page of the Washington Post morning paper asked, “Is the Obama Administration Communist?” No, but of course cheap political ploys only work in the reverse direction. My video about it is below.
http://rightwingnews.com/#post15869
Radegunda commented:
So we have a pale-skinned head of the NAACP smearing any criticism of a half-black president–or of the white congressional leadership–as “racist.” We also have black “leaders” asserting that dark-skinned persons of African ancestry are “not really black” if they stray from a leftist ideology dominated by racial classification and racial payback.
When it suits them, they’ll make skin color the only factor of any consequence. (“You just can’t stand having a black president.” “He didn’t get the promotion because he’s black, and the test that he failed must be racist.”)
But when certain inescapable facts disturb their hyper-racialist worldview—such as the existence of Clarence Thomas and Walter Williams and Allen West and Star Parker and many more—they resort to the notion that “being black” isn’t about skin color but about ideology. That’s how Bill Clinton could be called “the first black president.”
More proof that the leftist worldview is very, very confused.
Jerry M commented:
The actions of the NAACP are easily explained by the fact that they are nothing more than an appendage to the Democrat Party which has made an art form of race baiting because they know that if they loose the black vote to any substantial degree they are toast in future elections. This is a clearly disgusting ploy in an election year to try to discredit the Tea Party because they know this movement is a significant threat to Democrats being elected in November. Someday African Americans will wake up and realize how they are being used.

Let’s say the NAACP went up with a large crowd, a bullhorn and a couple camera crews to the front door of a place of business and said, “We demand that you cut the racist elements out of your business.”
The business owner comes out and angrily demands that they stop calling his business racist.
Ben Jealous turns around and says, “No, we’re not calling your business racist, we’re just saying it has racist elements that need to be cut out.”
They can’t have their cake and eat it too. This is a reprehensible, uncalled-for, low-character smear job no matter how the on-the-run NAACP tries to spin it now.

Ken, I’ve had a similar experience: some of the nicest people I encounter on a daily basis are black. Some of them might treat me differently if they knew I identify as conservative, but others would probably not be bothered by it because they’re actually tolerant in the true sense (and some may be secretly conservative themselves).
It grieves me that many decent black people have so heavily invested themselves emotionally in the current president, as though their self-esteem is dependent on everybody thinking Barack is wonderful–even though his personal history has little in common with theirs.
How do we convince these people that our opinion of B. Hussein has nothing to do with our attitudes toward black people in general? And that we object to how B. Hussein is actually harming regular black Americans along with everybody else?

I stand corrected Ken. There are some people who are insulting people for lack of something intelligent to say. My bad.
However, why ask the Tea Party Patriots about race? Why ask them to denounce racism? That is not what their movement is about. It’s about something entirely different. It’s like going to a National League Baseball game where the people are there to watch a baseball game and cheer for their favorite team. Some bozo in the stands says something stupid and racist and then everyone at the ball game has to denounce that person? Why? What have they got to do with the bozo? I just came to have a hot dog and hopefully catch a pop to the stands. His actions are his responsibility and I shouldn’t have to denounce them in public. (Although there have been instances at the Tea Parties where the folks attending have done just that.) He doesn’t represent me. He may like to say he does, but I know he doesn’t, and I shouldn’t have to prove to anyone else that he doesn’t.
Why give the guy a platform by having everyone in the stands turn and look at him? This is what the NAACP is doing to the bozo and in the meantime are trying to marginalize the true message of the Tea Party. Smaller government, fiscal responsibility, liberty and freedom for ALL Americans.
If the Oct 2nd march the NAACP is doing has nothing to do with race, affirmative action programs (again with the dividing people into groups) and is basically just to try and get the economy started moving for the benefit of all, then I would hope that they are inviting all Americans and not just black Amercians. Because that would be racist. The Tea Party invites all Americans, because what it stands for is not about race.

But I don’t see the NAACP as doing that. Countering racism wherever they see it is an integral part of their mission, and their request to you is a respectful one. Again, have they asked the KKK to denounce racism? The fact that they ask you to is a sign of respect.
Galt commented:
Tea Party principles are inherently inimical to the cause of institutional racism — property rights, equal protection, and freedom of association are bulwarks against the race-consciousness that pervade Dem-party policy-making.
The NAACP knows this. Its political objectives hinge on the double standard. Its “leaders” are cynical enough to know that Tea Party principles are actually the antidote to racism. For reasons of pragmatism they can’t let that be known.

Why is it “wonderful” to see skin color as the only thing that matters? How is that not racist?
How can someone’s heart be “in the right place” when that person reflexively attaches the “racist” label to any criticism of anyone who happens to be black? When a black person criticizes Obama on the basis of WHAT HE DOES, is that person’s heart in the wrong place? That’s what the Dem-left says.
The (half-)black president didn’t hesitate to belittle the one Supreme Court justice who is actually (fully) black, implying–as all the leftists imply–that Justice Thomas couldn’t be smart enough to think for himself. Why didn’t the race-baiters decry that as racist? Is it okay for a light-skinned (half-)black man to demean a dark-skinned black man?
It’s the Tea Party people who see race as a superficial characteristic. It’s their detractors who constantly inject race into everything–and often in the most cynical way, as a cheap-and-easy cudgel to silence any disagreement.

“…lot of people, black and white, probably give Obama a pass because he’s black.”
That is wrong. It is judging someone based on their skin color, not on their performance. It is as unacceptable to coddle based on race as it is to denigrate based on race. But for some reason, coddling some ‘preferred’ group on the basis of their race is acceptable. Those supporting this behavior don’t seem to understand – the ‘preferred’ race is apt to change.
When the ‘preferred’ race switches again, what is considered behavior with their “hearts in the right place” this month, year, or decade, will be considered racist and immoral next month, year, or decade.
That kind of behavior is based on whim, fancy, and making one’s self feel OK; it is not based on any real morality.

If someone else who happens to share your skin color robs me for 20 yrs, no the law should not allow me to recover from you.
That is what us conservatives call a principle of general applicability. Or just a plain old principle (for you Dems who haven’t been exposed to one in a while). It works without regard to the skin color of the robber or the victim. A true system of equal protection would be, in short, principled; I do not believe today’s NAACP would like that very much — otherwise, it would not be such a root-and-branch supporter of the Dem party.

125–not if the purveyor of evil is in jail or executed.
Can you really be this ignorant of history and current events. NAACP was created by four WHITE people but perverted by the current inhabitants to be a political tool.
Recon shows direct hits on all munitions. We think its still alive as it has no central nervous system nor decernable heart or brain. Symbolism over substance. The NAACP is symbolic with rhetoric and rumor. We on the conservative side have FACTS. powder is dry

What squeaky said … and Ken’s “suggestion” is being planted within more than one comment section in the blogosphere at present … looks like the talking-point services are working as designed.
However, I for one will not let them take me off message … for there is a greater threat to the civil rights of ALL of us, than the appearance of a few pseudo-Nazis …
… who are often Re-, er, Progressive mobys, play-acting out their stereotype of a Tea Partier in a dishonest, yet lame, attempt to do what the NAACP is trying here …
… at some Tea Parties.
The far greater threat to our civil rights is the continued implementation of the Progressive agenda within our institutions … and opposition to that threat is the CENTRAL focus of the Tea Party Movement. THE TPM IS DOING WHAT THE NAACP SHOULD BE DOING!
But because they see the Progressive agenda as their ticket to access and power, they fall short of doing their job.
T.S. commented:
The groundwork is being laid for “The Tea Party” to be officially classified as a white supremacist hate group/domestic terrorist group by Federal Govt. When (not if) that happens, the tea party movement will cease to exist.

as with Islam, they are scared yhitless to say
anything against the Islamic Black Panthers..
just a sample:
Islam, A Problem In Australia
Radical Islam In Europe
Islam A Silenced Problem In America
thanks to our IslaMarxist President, who not only banned the “war on terror”, but free
speech against Islam, not to mention placing them inside our government..
[Abdul-Malik also makes no bones about discussing how
the election of President Obama is a step forward in the project of Islamization and the long term goal of Islamist domination
which falls right in lock-step with that of the Muslim Brotherhood as
revealed in their manifesto.]
…that’s where I’m really afraid. I would like to criticize Islam
much more than I do publicly, but I’m afraid for my life if I do.
New Black Panther Party
New Black Panther Party Call-to-Arms to fight Tea Party and Cracker Police
Marxists and Islamists (redundant i know) are way
ahead of US, which is why Obama acts with impunity..
we are losing because we don’t believe they
believe what they do, not because they do..

I have no doubt that the “don’t call me unpatriotic” left would have no problem seeing the TPM declared an enemy of the state — with all the loss of civil rights that would accompany such a declaration (can’t find work, subject to litigation, inability to receive a fair trial, etc.).
But for now I’m satisfied just having the NAACP give us the opportunity to reiterate our program for limited government and race-neutral/class-neutral civil rights.
If you oppose racism,the Tea Party Movement is really the only game in town these days.

The Tea Party gatherings exhibit a far greater diversity than the NAACP meetings.
Unlike the NAACP, Tea Parties receive no grants, endowments, or (probably) community block grants.
It’s ridiculous to entertain racism charges from these liberal leeches; they wrote the book on it.
Come November, all these race card throw downs will be meaningless.

These clowns from the NBPP are sounding like Thugees. And the NAACP is defending them? Good luck selling that, you morons. Even with the media behind you, this will not play well in Peoria. Or for that matter anywhere else outside your echo chamber.

Jealous is handing you a great opportunity here.
He’s handing the country a platter piled with steaming horse dung and you’re gobbling it up like a good little libturd.
Racists and other bigots have been among the rest of us since the dawn of time and they’ll be among us until the end of time. As long as they keep their boneheaded bigotry to themselves, it really doesn’t matter and, if in a position of power, they don’t let they’re boneheaded bigotry affect their decisions and actions, they don’t need to be flushed out or even addressed regarding their boneheaded bigotry.
Only libturds like yourself are stupid enough and tiny-minded enough to believe that racists and other bigots are one-dimensional people, that they have no complaints or concerns outside of their bigotted beliefs. How anyone can honestly say that white racists aren’t concerned with any of the destruction that Oilbama and his thugs have done to this country and her citizens is beyond stupid. As long as their bigotted thoughts remain thoughts only, they should be of no one’s concern. Yet, libturds like yourself want to police thoughts and opinions, then punish and/or banish those whose thoughts the rest of us find distasteful, stupid and, well, just plain wrong.
So, tell me Ken, promoter of policing thoughts, if a TEA Partier insists s/he isn’t a racist or bigot but you and Jealous think s/he’s lying, what proof will s/he be required to produce to prove s/he’s sincerely not a racist? Will getting to the truth of his/her personal, unspoken thoughts and opinions require a raid of her home and investigation of her friends and acquaintances by the Thought Police?
Omg! What if one of my neighbors, friends or family members is a closet bigot? How can I find out the truth? Am I in any danger of catching their bigotry if we drink from the same cup or I’ve taken a bite of their Snickers bar? If their bigotry is discovered, will I be charged with aiding and abetting a Thought Crime? Does the Thought Police have an anonymous tip line that I can call?
Radegunda commented:
T.S. #138, I’m afraid you may be on to something. Leftists have a very low tolerance for dissent and a history of devising excuses to silence it.
The “hate speech” meme, as I recall, first appeared when people had the nerve to scrutinize and criticize the Clintons publicly, on the radio. Oklahoma City was a godsend to the left/progs, because it gave them an (irrational) excuse to paint dissent as dangerous–and therefore not to be permitted.
All that went away in the Bush years. We all remember Hillary screechingly, hysterically declaring that “we have a right to debate and disagree with ANY administration.”
But she really meant “any REPUBLICAN administration,” of course. Because now, disagreeing is once again “hate speech,” with the added bonus that it’s racist too! “Tax cuts” and “constitutional republic” are code words for “race.” As for “take our country back”–oh my! It was good when the progs said it a few years ago, and now it’s obviously “racist.” Obviously.
And making Barry O’Bummer look like a clownish white character from a movie–and doing the same to various white Dem–is obviously raaacist. Likewise, putting O’Bummer on the same poster as the very Aryan Hitler and Stalin is raaacist. They can’t explain how it’s racist, rather than just over-the-top and in poor taste. But shouting “racist” is so much easier than defending O’Bummer’s policies.
And “racist” shades into “hate speech” and therefore “hate crime” and therefore something to suppress.
I hope we can all agree to stop calling the leftists “liberal.”

That’s good advice. Every time they denigrate us let’s use the occasion to restate our principles and explain again why our policies are more fair and more just than anything the Nanny State has ever offered.
So call us whatever you want. We’ll still oppose statism wherever we see it. And that includes the Dem-lite tier of the GOP (which seems to be a smaller section these days, I’m happy to say — though cowardice never vacations for very long).

The Elector of Saxony commented:
Do you see how powerful a weapon you give your opponent when you agree to battle on his terms, using his grammar? This was all planned 50 years ago. The Right cannot win, the Tea Party cannot win, America cannot win. We allowed the word “Racism” to become the nuclear weapon of politics, and so it’s all over but the shouting. Half the country now believes that voting Republican is a racist act. Simply preferring that people work for their living rather than get lifetime handouts is called racist by a almost every Democrat (Socialist). Any view that is “un-Marxist” is racist. Do you think the media and the Left sees any difference between the nice, church-going dentist who wants his government to exercise fiscal restraint and David Duke? They don’t, and they wouldn’t say it even if they did.
Watch how many people they can scare out of the Tea Party movement by invoking the “Racism” charge. Many who would otherwise work to save their country from the inept and alien Obama will recoil in fear from the phony word…”racism”. Somehow that Left has managed to find a magic word that scares every White taxpayer into immediate submission. Quite a coup for a political philosophy that has failed every time it has been tried.
wanumba commented:
Kinda ironic that a guy named “Jealous” is promoting institutionalised covetousness. Ah, one of the ten deadly sins … of which jealousy is a sort of step one manifestation. Jealous leads to covet, covet leads to a second sin: stealing. A third sin, lying, is always a “pairing” sin, covering up a planned sin act or a committed sin.
wanumba commented:
Now, did the NAACP run Robert KKK Byrd out of the Democratic Party? Nope. Don’t even recall any “proclamation” or “resolution.” Just lots of fawnign accolades from the Democrats who raised Byrd to the highest levels of Democratic Party power.
How many people saw the American flag at half mast recently in honor of Robert Byrd and said, “What a disgrace the Democrats have dropped the flag for a frikkin’ KKK Grand Kleagle. Senators think they’re frikkin’ royalty. Give me a break. What an insult to America.”
NAACP complain about half-mast KKK Byrd? They don’t want to see a Confederate flag, which is just a piece of inanimate material but KKK Grand Kleagal Robert Byrd, who threw himself into the Mother of all Filibusters to STOP the Civil Rights Act … hey, *rebel yell*, Byrd forever!
And David Duke is a long-run hard core Democrat, except for a short manipulative, work the system stint for a few months to get a nomination for Republican candidate in Louisiana, without consulting the GOP, then failing his election goals thru that trick, slithered off back to his Democratic Party roots. Openly proud KKK Duke actually won the Democratic Party VP vote in, was it New Hampshire or Vermont , some years ago.
How much effort has the NAACP spent running Duke out of the Democratic Party? Hunger strikes? resolutions? “We shall overcome at the DNC?”
Hullo? Nothing? Then the NAACP can tear their fancy robes all they want about the Tea Party, because the NAACP under today’s leadership has no credibility whatsoever.
The communists like to force people under duress to confess to crimes – political crimes they didn’t commit. It’s a way to break the human spirit.
NEVER confess to a lie. If the mob has been jacked on a lie, that’s a practical matter of defense, not a matter of confessing – an innocent man confessing to a lie becomes a liar.
The radical Left is plainly trying to set Americans against each other, baiting baiting to initiate chaos.
No thanks.

I don’t know, TEoS. There might be a whole bunch of others like me who could be manipulated a couple of years ago by accusations of racism but not anymore. There was a time that I’d tie myself into pretzel knots to prove I’m not a racist. After having the accusation hurled at me so many times over the last couple of years, however, I’ve grown insensitive to being called “racist.” I suspect most every other conservative and constitutionalist who’s verbally protested Oilbama’s socializing of America has grown insensitive to it, too. We know we’re not racist and we don’t really care what a bunch of people who are too stupid to be distrustful of a rapidly growing govt that’s reaching it’s many tentacles deeper into our lives every day has to say about us.
Ohio Granny commented:
There are sides to the coin that I haven’t seen discussed anywhere. First, the civil war, regardless of what hollywood wants to make us believe, that it was fought and won exclusively by Negro soldiers, was in fact won by the blood of many many white men. Some of them at war with their own brothers. And yet, no where do we ever read that the black community has erected statues or demanded days of praise for those whites.
And secondly, there is an ugly movement within our colleges to get incoming freshmen and women who are impressionable, to sign a surrender contract stating that all whites are born priviledged, and ergo, they are responsible for the underpriviledge and the boots on the necks of people of color. This is reinforced in the media, especially this week which has openly stated that there can be no racism against whites.
Ken wants us to believe that white racists join the Tea Party for cover. Dude, they don’t care about cover! True racists would reinstall the KKK (a democrat organization), or Jim Crow (another democrat policy). For the democrats, the need to keep people of color in distress is so they have someone to control by rattling their cage saying it is someone else who has and ergo they need to be “jealous” and feel slighted.
Yes, “Jealous” is the perfect name for someone who wants what they haven’t earned.
The Tea Party groups in Cleveland Ohio have denounced racist signs and protesters when they have appeared at their gatherings. Do they get credit for that? No. They have circulated notices of potential invasions from liberal groups with ugly signs. They have been on the look out and alert for those, and have shouted them out and run them off. Do we get credit for that? No. What have we discovered when we have done this? That the signs are brought in to embrass us and are generally made up from far left groups. We have real and present dangers to address. The NAACP is attempting to keep the hemorraging from their fail organization from continuing by intimidating African Americans from joining with us. They fear that the black conservatives who want to limit government, roll back regulation and taxes, and maintain free markets will stand with us. Best to call them Uncle Toms and us racists from the get go.
I pray that my brothers and sisters of color don’t fall for this sham. Stand with us so we can create a tomorrow that will benefit us all. That is not the tomorrow that the NAACP needs to exist because then we wouldn’t need them.

I sincerely hope that you are right. If the Obama presidency manages to shake us loose of simple acceptance of the premise that White=evil; Black=good, and no argument is tolerable, it will have been worthwhile.
Decades ago Susan Sondheim wrote something that is now embraced by much of the American Left and it went something like “…despite the invention of the telegraph, calculus, Einstein, Mozart, and Shakespeare, the White race is still a cancer on human history and must be wiped out at all costs” People do not understand that this is now a view that is accepted by an alarming number of Americans, and that view is being promulgated in every public school in the land.
I hope our People will wake up and come to their own defense in time, but if Amnesty is passed, forget it. The only group that votes a diversity of political opinion is Whites. All others vote in power blocks designed to take from others those things which the block is unwilling to work for. We are already at 50% net tax TAKERS…can you imagine the nation at 60%???? 80%??? Zimbabwe here we come!!!!!
