KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Leaders of the country's largest civil rights organization accused tea party activists on Tuesday of tolerating bigotry and approved a resolution condemning racism within the political movement.

The resolution was adopted during the annual convention in Kansas City of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, spokesman Chris Fleming said. Tea party organizers disputed claims of racism and called on the NAACP to withdraw the resolution.

Debate was mostly closed to the public, but the final version "calls on the tea party and all people of good will to repudiate the racist element and activities within the tea party," said Hilary Shelton, director of the NAACP's Washington bureau.


BT comment: While they are at it, why doesn't the NAACP also move to condemn leprechauns, unicorns, Bigfoot, space aliens, the Lochness Monster, liberal tax and spending cuts... and come to think of it, any other thing on the planet that doesn't really exist. BUT, whatever they may do, they can not and will not address racism in there own organization or allah forbid, point one hypocritical finger at the cracker hating, race card playing Black Panthers. There is absolutely no proof that organized racism exists in Tea Party movement(the Tea Party is proud to have members of any race or color as it is based on principles not prejudices). There are always isolated incidences of bad behaviour to be found no matter where you look, but there hasn't even been one verifiable act of racism witnessed at any Tea Party event. This is right out of the "Rules for Radicals" handbook by Sol Olinsky. Falsely accuse your enemies of what you yourself are actually doing thereby silencing them while advancing your own agenda.

To peacefully disagree with this president purely on principle is and will be labeled as racism. As a citizen who wants their country and Constitution back is apparently hate speech and racism. To love the America you grew up in is passe'. To want those elected to actually adhere to the Constitution they swore to defend is archaic. To love God and His word is narrow minded and weak. Finally, to be silent in the midst of such accusations would just be plain wrong. Speak truth to power. On second thought, just speak truth(in love). It's your right. It's your country. It's your duty. Even if few listen, truth will draw it's own adhererants.

The man who fears no truths has nothing to fear from lies.
