NAACP Resolves to Tag TEA Party Racists? Do They Own A Mirror?

July 16, 2010 Lunatic Lefties, News, Opinion, The Scourge of Racism Comments Off

The reasoning behind my question is simple. Any organization which promotes the condition of any race over another is by definition “racist”. The NAACP seeks to advance black Americans over other races. They seek the advancement of one race over another and as such is racist by nature. That obvious observation has prompted some back-peddling from the organization.

According to a story in Philly.com NAACP President Ben Jealous had the following to say on MSNoBodyCares’ Morning Joe…

“We aren’t saying that the tea party is racist,” Jealous said. “What we’re saying is that with their increasing power comes an increasing responsibility to act responsibly…and to call out when they see those things on those signs.”

I have had some exposure to the TEA Party and some of the organized groups of TEA Party activists around the country. I personally don’t attend any meetings and have not been to a rally due to the amount of time that is required of me in relation to my daughter’s medical conditions. That said however, the communications that I receive prior to organized rallies all call on active members to be on the watch for people with racist and provocative signs. They call on responsible members of the TEA Party to alert Party officials and such material will be removed.

Ben Jealous is a strange moniker to be known by incidentally but I digress. But according to his statements on Morning Joe, the TEA Party needs to be more pro-active in “calling out” these signs. Excuse me, the mere fact that he feels the need to counsel the TEA Party on this shows his inherent lack of knowledge of the movement.

The fundamental reason for the creation of the TEA Party is economic not social. It wasn’t formed to curtail or expand race relations in this country. It was formed to stop the over taxation of the American people in order for an Imperial President to satisfy his need to over spend. Seems to be a plain and simple concept to me but apparently the political left has a problem recognizing the obvious.

One of the most popular speakers at any of the TEA Party rallies that I’m aware of was Alfonzo Rachel who appeared at the Dallas TEA Party Rally last summer. And I’ll have to check the following video but if my memory serves me correctly he’s African-American (although Rachel and I share an opinion that hyphens divide thus hyphenated Americans are barriers to unity).

In the included video, Rachel uses the real history of the Democrat Party and questions why Black America is so loyal to it.

Yeah… I was right. Rachel is black. A proud Conservative American (notice – no hyphen). And I’m proud to say I admire him greatly.

The idea behind all these racism charges is juvenile. Because Obama is a black man if you oppose him you are a racist. It doesn’t matter how much destruction this idiot is causing, simply by opposing his destructive agenda you are a racist. Period end of discussion.

Well I’m here to tell you that personally I don’t give a rat’s ass if he’s purple. I would oppose a Caucasian in the same position advocating the same policy. Socialism is socialism and it needs to be stopped regardless of the color of the advocate’s skin. I do not engage in identity politics. Problem is, those who elected Obama do. They are the racists in this equation not me and certainly not the TEA Party. We need to be responsible in our voting and vote for the person, regardless of race or gender, who possesses the qualities we would like to see espoused in the office they are seeking.

The following is the complete text of the NAACP’s resolution…

NAACP DELEGATES UNANIMOUSLY PASS TEA PARTY AMENDMENT

NATION’S OLDEST AND LARGEST CIVIL RIGHTS GROUPS ASK TEA PARTY TO REPUDIATE RACIST FACTIONS

(KANSAS CITY, MO) – Over 2,000 NAACP delegates today unanimously passed a resolution—as amended—called “The Tea Party Movement,” asking for the repudiation of racist Tea Party leaders.

The resolution condemns the bigoted elements within the Tea Party and asks for them to be repudiated. The NAACP delegates presented this resolution for debate and passage after a year of vitriolic Tea Party demonstrations during which participants used racial slurs and images. In March, members of the Congressional Black Caucus were accosted by Tea Party demonstrators and called racial epithets. Civil rights icon John Lewis was spit on, while Congressman Emanuel Cleaver was called the “N” word and openly gay Congressman Barney Frank was called an ugly anti-gay slur.

“We take no issue with the Tea Party movement. We believe in freedom of assembly and people raising their voices in a democracy. What we take issue with is the Tea Party’s continued tolerance for bigotry and bigoted statements. The time has come for them to accept the responsibility that comes with influence and make clear there is no place for racism & anti-Semitism, homophobia and other forms of bigotry in their movement,” stated NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Todd Jealous. “Last night after my speech, I was approached by an African American member of the NAACP and the Tea Party. He thanked me for speaking out because he has begun to feel uncomfortable in the Tea Party and wants to ensure there will always be space for him in both organizations. I assured him there will always be a place for him in the NAACP. Dick Armey and the leadership of the Tea Party need to do the same.”

The resolution was amended during the debate to specifically ask the Tea Party itself to repudiate the racist elements and activities of the Tea Party. It comes on the heels of NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Todd Jealous’ announcement of the “One Nation, Working Together” Movement culminating with a national march on Washington on 10-2-10.

The resolution will now go to the NAACP National Board of Directors for a full vote when they meet in October 2010 in Baltimore, MD. A formal copy of the resolution will be released at that time.

Founded in 1909, the NAACP is the nation’s oldest and largest civil rights organization. Its members throughout the United States and the world are the premier advocates for civil rights in their communities, conducting voter mobilization and monitoring equal opportunity in the public and private sectors.

For the record, no video of John Lewis being spat upon has been found. No audio recordings of racial epitaphs have been found. And this is in spite of a reward offered by Andrew Breitbart for such materials. The NAACP is part of a concerted effort to marginalize regular hard-working Americans who take time away from their families and their jobs to protest bad legislation being advocated by bad legislators. The NAACP doesn’t want black Americans marginalized and on that point I agree. However I say NO American should ever be marginalized and that is what they are attempting.

Obama’s Plea: ‘Don’t Vote Because She’s Cute’

September 19, 2008 Barack Hussein Obama, Election 2008, John McCain, Libtards on Parade, Lunatic Lefties, News, Opinion, Presidential Candidates, Sarah Palin, Stupidity, The Scourge of Racism Comments Off

This was the feeble attempt by Michelle Obama to convince voters that they shouldn’t vote for McCain/Palin but rather Obama/Biden. Her theory? That the Obama ticket actually owns the issues and the McCain ticket only has a pretty face. Or at least that was the intent of the veiled warning.

In fairness, Obama covered her words by stating that she was referring to herself but as we all know, she’s not all that good looking to begin with, so I don’t see anything resembling the truth in her cover. But knowing that she meant to instruct voters that they should not vote for McCain/Palin because she’s cute, that also means that voters shouldn’t vote for Barack Hussein Obama simply because he’s black. Truth be told, and it has by many on the left as well as the right, the only reason why BO is where he is – is because he’s black. He is unqualified for the position that he seeks and those who are willing to leave history and race out of this election know this fact.

The leftards* of this country are willing to put “historical nature” or some twisted sense of reparations ahead of the good of the nation. We’ve seen in the past where this has led to terrible consequences. For instance, the historical nature of John F. Kennedy’s election.

Kennedy is the man who first sent troops into South Vietnam. A fact that is often overlooked by the Camelot dreamers left over from the 1960s. His assassination led to the ascension of Lyndon Johnson to the Presidency, Johnson’s escalation of the Vietnam Conflict, the fragmentation of the country because of the Conflict, AND the Great Society. Failure, Failure, Failure, and Failure. All because history needed a Catholic to be elected President. It was wrong then and it is wrong now.

Now we have threats of race wars if we don’t elect Barack. Anyone who doesn’t vote for Barack is already being referred to as racist. This nation is going to be torn apart along racial lines because a grossly unqualified black man got himself nominated by the Party of feelings.

On November 4th, the nation will go to the polls and make a decision in the question who is most qualified to lead this nation for the next 4 years. So let’s take Michelle’s advice and not vote because she’s cute, but let’s also not vote because he’s black. Voting for Barack because he’s black is racist. Not the other way around as others have suggested. And anyone who encourages race wars if Obama isn’t elected, Fatimah Ali, are more interested in dividing this nation along racial lines than electing anyone to the Presidency.

It seems to me that if the African-American community fails to accept the loss of Barack Hussein Obama in a civil manner, then perhaps this nation is not ready for an African-American as President. Threats cannot determine the outcome of this election. For if they do the nation cannot survive.

And that’s the truth…

Radical Liberals Threaten Race Wars if McCain Wins

September 2, 2008 Barack Hussein Obama, Domestic Terrorism, Liberal MSM Bias, Libtards on Parade, News, Opinion, Presidential Candidates, Stupidity, The Scourge of Racism View Comments

The Drudge Report headline reads – “Philadelphia Columnist Warns: ‘If McCain wins, look for full-fledged race war’…” Oh yeah… That’s the way to put forth your candidate. Threaten a race war. That is a terrorist tactic if I’ve ever heard one. Threaten something bad if you don’t get your wish.

We also must consider the source of this warning. It comes from a columnist from the Philadelphia Daily News named Fatimah Ali. Hmmm… That doesn’t sound Arab does it?

Should we expect anything less from the radical left than threats of violence if they aren’t put into power. Just look at the events yesterday in St. Paul. Anarchists and anti-war protesters get violent in the streets. Trash bins knocked over and set on fire. Car and business windows smashed.

Obama: ‘I Was in Miami Addressing La Raza’

March 17, 2008 Election 2008, News, Opinion, Presidential Candidates, The Scourge of Racism Comments Off

A news story on Newsmax.com yesterday suggested that Barack Obama was in attendance at the Trinity Church of Christ in July of 2007 where Rev. J. Wright delivered one of his divisive ~~sermons~~ tin foil hat wearing/race baiting rants.

From Newmax.com:

In fact, Obama was present in the South Side Chicago church on July 22 last year when Jim Davis, a freelance correspondent for Newsmax, attended services along with Obama. [See: ”Obama’s Church: Cauldron of Division.”]

In his sermon that day, Wright tore into America, referring to the “United States of White America” and lacing his sermon with expletives as Obama listened. Hearing Wright’s attacks on his own country, Obama had the opportunity to walk out, but Davis said the senator sat in his pew and nodded in agreement.

Addressing the Iraq war, Wright thundered, “Young African-American men” were “dying for nothing.” The “illegal war,” he shouted, was “based on Bush’s lies” and is being “fought for oil money.”

Obama’s most famous celebrity backer, Oprah Winfrey began attending Wright’s church in 1984. Last year, Newsmax magazine reported that Winfrey abruptly stopped attending years ago, and suggested that she did so to distance herself from Wright’s inflammatory rhetoric. She soon found herself a target of Wright, who excoriated her for having broken with “traditional faith.”

Didn’t Barack wonder why? I mean if the most famous member of my church defects, I’d wonder why?

Today Obama is claiming that he wasn’t at the church on July 22, 2007 citing that his schedule had him in Miami. But the Newsmax Freelancer was in attendance and claimed in August of 2007 that he was indeed there. Who are we to believe? The man on the hot seat who claims now that he wasn’t there? Or a witness who wrote in an article in August of 2007 that says he was there?

From FoxNews.com:

Barack Obama issued a firm denial Monday to a report that he was in church in Chicago last July when his controversial pastor delivered an anti-white sermon.

Doubts were cast on the story Monday as records showed the Democratic presidential contender was in Miami that day.

On the “fact check” portion of Obama’s campaign Web site, the campaign states: “Fact: Obama Did Not Attend Services on July 22.”

Reports circulated over the weekend that Obama had attended the fiery sermon by the Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. But a copy of Obama’s schedule viewed by FOX News as well as video of Obama speaking appear to place him in Miami that day at a convention of the National Council of La Raza.

A National Council of La Raza official recalls Obama arriving on time that day for a 1:30 p.m. event that was part of the group’s annual national convention.

There ya go. He skipped his own Pastor’s anti-American racist rhetoric to address a group who is racist. La Raza?!? I mean if you are going to have an alibi for not attending a racist speech it really shouldn’t be that he was giving a speech to another racist organization. But that is where he says he was.

At this point I think we can agree that the only substance in Obama’s rhetoric is being refuted. The only substance in his campaign has been the character angle. Between Wright and La Raza, Obama is proving that he lacks character.

Beware Barack, you are reaching maximum temperature. The fork is about to be inserted.

Note:

Newsmax has issued a clarification above the linked article.

Obama Repudiates and Wright Resigns

March 15, 2008 Election 2008, John McCain, Libtards on Parade, Lunatic Lefties, News, Opinion, Presidential Candidates, Stupidity, The Scourge of Racism Comments Off

I know I know, I’m late with this. But we all can’t be in front of the computer 24/7.

Barack Hussein Obama finally got around to issuing a definitive denunciation of his Pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. After first sending out a statement from a surrogate, then giving Major Garrett from Fox News Channel some cock and bull story stating,

“None of these statements were ones I had heard myself personally in the pews.”

and

“Once I saw them I had to be very clear about the fact that these are not statements that I am comfortable with. I reject them completely they are not ones that reflect my values or my ideals.”

I’m sorry Senator, if you attend a church, one is logically to deduce that you agree with the teachings of that church. Wright was the “spiritual” leader of that church and you attended it for 20 years. Your children were baptized by the man, and it has taken you weeks to denounce the idiot, this all tells me that your statements are politically motivated including Friday afternoon’s doozy.

“Let me say at the outset that I vehemently disagree and strongly condemn the statements that have been the subject of this controversy. I categorically denounce any statement that disparages our great country or serves to divide us from our allies. I also believe that words that degrade individuals have no place in our public dialogue, whether it’s on the campaign stump or in the pulpit. In sum, I reject outright the statements by Rev. Wright that are at issue.”

Wright is a racist and a September 11th Conspiracy Theorist who used his position at the pulpit to politically proselytize his congregation. He is likely to be hung out to dry by the IRS and the FEC and your choice of a church will likely feel the ill effects of that as well.

The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was someone who had a dream of unity. One where blacks and whites could live as one. Conditions today are closer to that dream than ever. But there is that certain element on both sides of the issue that will never in their narrow minded thought processes ever accept this truth. Wright is one of these people.

He is a divider. He is a hater. And he hates America first. You Senator are a product of Wright’s teachings for the past 20 years and no amount rhetoric will you be able to muster will distance yourself enough from the moron’s words of hate.

Liberals say that Conservatives are full of hate. The truth is I find the opposite is true. Just look what leftist sites write about Conservative bloggers including myself. Hate is a tool for them and they use it well.

Democrats in Washington hate the Bush Administration. Democrats nation wide hate America. Liberals are ashamed of everything American but yet they want to run America as if under their control America suddenly becomes some sort of utopia.

The race baiters of this nation use hate. Like their white supremacist counterparts they are ignorant. People like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Louis Farrakhan, and yes Jeremiah Wright are race baiters. To them it is the constant pounding of racism that rules their lives and without it to rant about, their lives would be insignificant.

Wright, Jackson, Sharpton, and Farrakhan never wore chains but will say “we” as if they had. They were never lynched, but will say “we” as if they had. They were never subjected to being forced to pay a poll tax but will say “we” as if they had. The list goes on and on and on.

Here is a fact that you all need to understand. There is no one alive in this country who lived as or who owned slaves. It is time that we put the divisive subject of slavery in our past where it belongs and remember that our daily intercourse with each other is governed by our own character or lack of it. Race plays such an inconsequential role in the lives of a vast majority of Americans and it is time those who can’t let it go to do so or be subject to public ridicule.

I live in a town where racially I’m probably a minority. Do I care? No. To be honest I don’t let it rule my life and the bulk of the people that I encounter on a daily basis are nice, law abiding people who just want to eek out a living in this cruel world. Beyond that, we don’t give a crap what color we are. And neither should Wright, Farrakhan, Sharpton, Jackson, David Duke, or any other race baiting moron in this country.

Wright Resigns from Obama Camapaign

From MSNoBodyCares,

Obama’s campaign announced that the minister, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., had left its spiritual advisory committee after videotapes of his sermons again ignited fierce debate in news accounts and political blogs.

Obama did not clarify whether Wright volunteered to leave his African American Religious Leadership Committee, a loose group of supporters associated with the campaign, or whether the campaign asked him to leave.

Team Hillary drops the ball

Also from MSNoBodyCares:

There was no formal reaction from the Clinton campaign, but Lanny Davis, a senior adviser, said he took Obama at his word.

“I give Senator Obama completely — completely — the benefit of the doubt that he has nothing to do with this bigotry that’s being spewed forth by this man,” Davis said on MSNBC’s “Tucker.” “For me, that’s all he has to say.

“I think we should stop this guilt-by-association thing, because some of our supporters say stupid things,” Davis said.

eated a firestorm among political observers and commentators.

“Mr. Obama obviously would not choose to belong to Mr. Wright’s church and seek his advice unless he agreed with at least some of his views,” Wall Street Journal columnist Ron Kessler, publisher of the conservative Web site NewsMax.com, wrote Friday.

Kathryn Jean Lopez, editor of the Web site of the conservative magazine National Review, wrote Friday that “now we know he’s contributed money to, voluntarily listened to, and publicly defended a cleric who peddles racial warfare.”

Others saw an attempt to “smear” Obama.

“How come righteous Republicans are rarely asked about the views of their spiritual advisers? Or why wasn’t George W. Bush (and the presidents preceding him) forced to distance himself from the anti-semitic comments of Billy Graham?” Ari Berman wrote Friday on the Web site of the liberal magazine The Nation, for which he is a contributing writer.

This fact is precisely why the right side of the sphere needs to keep up the pressure on Obama. If Hillary is unwilling to capitalize on an obvious character flaw and laps in judgement, then we must. Obama is making judgement a campaign point. His choice in pastors shows a lack of sound judgement. Is this the kind of person we want in charge of nuclear weapons? I say no.

Obama’s experience deficiencies and lack of sound judgement could combine and lead to an even larger loss of human life at the hands of radical Islamic Terrorists should he be elected President of the United States. It is my belief that if the moment of truth were to come during his term as President, that he would hesitate and get people killed. It is my belief that should it become necessary for the United States to use our nuclear arsenal that a President Obama would fail to do his duty because he lacks the judgement necessary to detach himself from his humanity in order to make the required decision to destroy our nation’s enemy (ies) at that moment of truth.

Lack of experience and sound judgement makes Obama’s empty shell rhetoric even more dangerous because the Politically Apathetic American Lemmings of this country are likely to nominate then elect that shell of a human being willing to follow his former pastor down into the abyss of hell. It is our duty on the Conservative side to forget our differences with our nominee and back him the nth degree in order to prevent an Obama Presidency. This is not the time for lessons. One was taught in 2006 and Republicans in Congress, at least the House anyway, have learned the lesson taught. No more earmarks. But this is a Presidential year with the liberal party in power it is not a time where we give them the 3 most powerful positions in the world.

Let us not forget as well, that a President John McCain has promised to veto pork spending packages and to appoint Conservative judges to the bench. He has promised to appoint John Roberts and Sam Alito type Justices to the Supreme Court which would shift the balance to the Conservative side and perhaps Roe v Wade would get revisited for a reversal as the plaintiff in the case has asked. A President Obama would allow the pork spending to flow like Mexicans over the border and appoint Ginsburg style judges and Justices. Is that what we truly want? Then we must not get into the habit of teaching lessons on game day.
