Republican Tim Scott from South Carolina spoke out against the NAACP’s racist attack on tea party patriots today
Tim released this statement this afternoon.
TIM SCOTT STATEMENT ON NAACP RESOLUTION CONDEMNING TEA PARTY AS “RACIST
Tim Scott, Republican candidate for Congress in South Carolina’s First Congressional District, issued the following statement today:
“I understand that the NAACP, at its annual conference in Kansas City, will vote today on a resolution condemning the Tea Party movement as “racist”. I believe that the NAACP is making a grave mistake in stereotyping a diverse group of Americans who care deeply about their country and who contribute their time, energy and resources to make a difference.”
“As I campaign in South Carolina, I participate in numerous events sponsored by the Tea Party, 9/12, Patriot, and other like-minded groups, and I have had the opportunity to get to know many of the men and women who make up these energetic grassroots organizations. Americans need to know that the Tea Party is a color-blind movement that has principled differences with many of the leaders in Washington, both Democrats and Republicans. Their aim is to support the strongest candidates – regardless of color or background – who will fight to return our country to its Constitutional roots of limited government, fiscal responsibility, and free markets.”

The NAACP will just say that Tim Scott isn’t black enough to comment on the Tea Party
xxx commented:
Obama supports the conquest of Mexico, Congo, and other African States over the USA. This is what is happening. White People must die, as he proves by his actions daily.

I’m going to send that guy a donation!
Damn straight, Tim.
IOpian commented:
Impressive young American.
Scott commented:
The outstanding Tea Party patriot and congressional candidate Lt. Col. Allen West also issued a statement today condemning the NAACP’s proposed resolution.
Atlas Shrugged has it up on her site.
Auntie Em commented:
Bravo Tim!!! I like your style!!
Chris Vehr commented:
Three reasons for the stance taken by the NAACP:
1. “Protect Obama”
2. “Protect Obama”
3. “Protect Obama”
It’s all they have. The weak-minded will fall for it, but mostly the strategy will backfire.
Granny commented:
Now there is somebody we need in Washington. Good for you Tim.
Sojourner commented:
This is exactly what needs to occur..those who would speak up, speak up now!
Good on you, Tim Scott..you have a donation coming from me.
Granny commented:
BTW, headline from Fox – “It’s Official: Obama is a Socialist”

snowman commented:
Tim Scott got it right when he said the TEA PARTY is color blind. we tea party people know freedom is color blind. Granny, Fox may call obama a socialist is because they don’t know what a communist is. obama is a communist not a socialist.
daryl commented:
Tim Scott is one in a million………. and that’s just such a pity.
Wake up black Americans. It’s in everyone’s best interests.
Joanne commented:
A racist group that caters only to people of color calls another group who is inclusive of people of all colors, racist. They are hypocrites and look like fools.
Granny commented:
Snowman, those were the results of a poll by a DEM pollster – by a large majority.
Joanne commented:
Actually the NAACP is just trying to use Saul Alinsky’s rule of ‘Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.’
They are trying to make the Tea Party Movement a movement that people will want to avoid at all costs in order to not appear racist, except it is the NAACP that look racist – it may very well backfire on them.
gus commented:
SIMPLE QUESTION.
What has the tea party done that would be considered racist.
snowman commented:
Thank you Tim Brown and Lt Col Allen West, sorry Granny, sorry Fox News.
snowman commented:
Sorry meant Tim Scott, i’m in a hurry gotta go.
squeaky commented:
and as part of the naacp resolution would we be include’n an event that the complaintants were unable to provide creditable evidence on the charges. as thomas sowell quizzed – is this about equality or revenge?
[three congressmen said some tea party activists yelled a racial epithet as they walked to the Capitol.]

Martin Luther King Jr. right there!
JDubya commented:
Great to hear from Americans who care about their country, their fellow citizens, and our future.
I hope he trumps the competition.
Ginger commented:
Did any one see color in that video? I saw a handsome young man that is running for office to help get our beautiful country back where it was.
Another HERO and I pray that our Lord will walk with him on his long journey because the people who has hate in their heart will not be very kind to Mr. Scott.

Thank you for your comments – you rock!
GrayRider commented:
Tim Scott telling it like it is and exposing the irrevelancy of the NAACP.
Henry Hawkins commented:
The NAACP is fetching water for the Obama administration. They are sock-puppeteering the RACISM meme to help keep black voters inside the tent. They’ve merely volunteered to take the heat from such an absurd accusation, heat the Obama admin cannot afford to take directly.
This will have zero effect overall, beyond generating sound and fury. Those who might be affected by this are already inside the Obama tent and no one new will be enticed inside. It’s a simple mercenary base firming effort.

obama is a communist not a socialist.
From where the peasants sit, socialism and communism look the same.

The self-described elites of this country are going to find out that the rest of us put this racial crap behind us a long time ago.

This song aired in 1963 as part of a special, “The Story of Christmas” — a huge hit.
The album, “The Star Carol” was also an enormous hit, especially among Mr. Ford’s primary audience – people who listen to country music. The grandkids of those people call themselves rednecks.

Slizzie #39 VERY BIG HAND SHAKE for you, brother!!!
Folks like Allen West, Tim Scott and Les Philips represent the same sort of courage as the dissidents in Poland during the reign of Communism. Kudos to them!
myohmy commented:
For a change, a breath of fresh air coming from Tim Scott. Democrats establishment and their minions in the media damage the race relationship in this country. Time to VOTE OUT all corrupt politicians.
snopercod commented:
Is Tim Scott an NAACP member, and if so, did he resign?
Andrew commented:
It occurs to me that tea has many colors- black, white, yellow, green, orange . . .
But the NAACP, only one.
Who’s racist, again?
