Michelle Obama Rouses NAACP Before Vote Condemning 'Racist' Elements of Tea Party
2010-07-13
First Lady Michelle Obama brought renewed energy to the NAACP today, delivering the keynote speech at the annual convention one day before the nation's largest civil rights group is expected to condemn what it calls racist elements in the Tea Party movement.

The nation's largest and oldest civil rights organization will vote on the resolution Tuesday during its annual convention in Kansas City, Mo.

In her speech, the first lady focused on the issue of childhood obesity and her "Let's Move" initiative, but outside of her remarks, anti-Tea Party activism has been a key focus of the gathering, which conservative leaders say is driven solely by a political agenda.

#18  Yet they can't produce even one 'racist' incident by Tea Party member

Opposing any of The One's policy is evidence of 'racism'. Probably 'blasphemy' too.

#17  Fellow St. Louis Tea Party organizer Dana Loesch accused the NAACP of morphing into a political organization.

Is the NAACP tax exempt? Maybe they don't need to be now.

What a great name for a lackey of the redistributionists.

#15  Tea Party Preempts 'Racist' Resolution, Condemns 'Bigoted' NAACP

#14  As a proud Tea Party member I can admit that Ms. Obama is correct about one (and probably only one) thing:
posters intended to degrade people of color generally and President Barack Obama specifically Actually, we tend to use his own words, which are quite sufficient to degrade him.

#13  But Rabble Rousing...

(Sorry - even preview didn't catch it).

#12  Buy Rabble Rousing is what Community Organizers do best - actually its the only thing they do. (not, you note, actually solve problems....

I think that pretty much sums up the Obama's Administration record so far. Stimulus didn't stimulate anything (except unions), Healthcare reform will do much more harm than good. Same with Crap and Tax.

#11  Got nothing to brag about in reason, so it is an all-in for emotion. People deserve better than to be talked to like this, I don't care who you are. Rabble rousing, low low low road.

#10  Considering the quality of said education, do you deny her right to resent?

Princeton has one heck of a physics department, it's associated with the Institute for Advanced Studies, during her time studying at Princeton potential physics professors there included G. K. O'Neill, inventor of the particle storage ring, and Freeman Dyson, who should need no introduction, among many other people.

Her poor choice in majors is her own damn problem.

#9  Not to mention her husband is the first Affirmative Action President (since most voters (of all races) based their vote on his skin color (and not any qualifications).

The sad part here is that with the NAACP, and the Black Congressional Caucus whoring out the race card at every opportunity makes it that much harder when there is real, actual, racism - the victim is more likely to be ignored as 'just another play of the race card... move along..."

#8  Rousing the Donk sock puppets.

The greatest determent to the 'advancement' of their own self identified community has been the imposition of the failed monopolistic unionized school systems. The teachers unions are just another auxiliary of the Party. The blank check the NAACP gives the Donks is the greatest betrayal of their own than any racist de jure or de facto act by any other part of the American population in the last two generations. The inner circle of hell is reserved for those who betray.

#6  pretty rich: an affirmative action socialist who got jobs and education based on her skin color and husband's Senate position, who attended Rev. Wright's church for years, branding someone else raaaacciist

#5  100% of black people polled say that the term "colored people" is moderately to blatantly racist. Ergo the NAACP is racist. I wish there were a monetary prize for that evidence. I guess I'd have to split that litigation lottery 6.8 billion ways.

#4  They are going to set back the civil rights gains about 45 years. Which is probably where they should be. Maybe we'll be able to get that RESET button back from Pooty.

#3  Last chance indeed for the ballot box. After that, we've only one box left and we'd all rather not go there. Drag yourself and everyone you know to the polls as if your life depends on it. It does.

#2  ATTACK....ISOLATE....MARGINALIZE....DEFLECT.

classic Alinsky


Yet they can't produce even one 'racist' incident by Tea Party member.

Voting this November should be mandatory for all patriots. Very important election.
This might just be our last chance to 'get handcuffs' on these guys and stop them from wrecking America.

#1  The script that M. Obama was going by was that now that many of the people in the African American community is hurting (caused by the her party) that it is important for the Tea Party not interfere with "spreading the wealth", in other words, steeling from the middle class and giving their posessions to the "poor".
