Mfume calls black conservatives puppets
Washingtn Times ^ | 7/13/04 | Steve Miller

Posted on 07/12/2004 9:59:40 PM PDT by kattracks

PHILADELPHIA -- Conservative black organizations are formed and funded by white Republicans, NAACP President Kweisi Mfume said yesterday in an address to a packed ballroom at the group's annual convention here.
    "When the ultraconservative right-wing attacker has run out of attack strategy," Mr. Mfume said, "he goes and gets someone that looks like you and me to continue the attacks."
    Paraphrasing a line from a 2002 speech by NAACP Chairman Julian Bond, he said, "And like the ventriloquist's dummies, they sit there in the puppet master's voice, but we can see whose lips are moving, and we can hear his money talk."
    In a speech punctuated by cheers from the audience, Mr. Mfume said: "They can't deal with the leaders we choose for ourselves, so they manufacture, promote and hire new ones."

What I call Mfume isn't fit to print

Call him by his given name.. Frizzell Gray. . :)

 Frizzell Gray AKA Kweisi Mfume the leader of NAACP, the eldest of four, Kweisi Mfume was born as Frizzell Gray in West Baltimore in 1948. When the young Mfume became a teenager, he quit high school and started a career in criminality. He ran illegal numbers, was a pimp, and even managed to find time to have five children by four different mothers. WASHINGTON, DC (15 APR 00) Ronald T. Gray, the 29 year old son of NAACP kingpin, Kweisi Mfume (née Frizzell Gray) was sentenced to 4 years and 9 months in prison on Federal drug and weapon offenses. The younger Gray had confessed last Oct to having sold cocaine for over two years in the DC area. http://www.cofcc.org/news.htm An this frizzel gray is suing the gun makers? for what? criminality runs in the family! GEEZE, hows that for leadership, and family values... {{{SHUDDER}}}

A perfect resume to head the NAACP.

NAACP officials say they have already cautioned the actor-comedian about his remarks at tonight's $75-a-seat event.

Darn 75 bucks a seat to be censored does that include duct tape and dark glasses ?

They would lose it if Bill told them to stuff it !

Did the NAACP EVER apologize for this BS smear ad against Bush !?!?!:

October 31, 2000
Liberal Dirty Tricks Ignored

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is now airing an ad that seeks to exploit black fears of white crime. Actually, that’s too kind. Over black and white video of a pickup truck dragging a chain, the daughter of Texas dragging death victim James Byrd declares, "So when Gov. George W. Bush refused to sign hate crimes legislation, it was like my father was killed all over again."

Gov. Bush is being tied directly to a vicious racist lynching. And from Brokaw, Jennings, Rather, Shaw & Co. -- not a peep. Clearly this is the most unfair, divisive, and repugnant ad in many moons, and it’s met with silence? At the very least, if the media were truly disinterested observers of the campaign and truly interested in the appearance of balance, they could draw an easy parallel between the Horton and Byrd spots for their hallowed "Ad Watch" pieces. But that would be false parity. Nothing Gov. Bush did led to Byrd’s death, and under Gov. Bush, two of his assailants will be put to death, while the furlough program under Gov. Dukakis allowed the release of Horton to commit more violent crimes.

But the media did something worse than sheer silence. They are portraying Bush as the villain of last-minute negative advertising, bringing the public’s attention to a different ad, a strange reproduction of Lyndon Johnson’s outrageous 1964 "Daisy" ad that suggested Barry Goldwater would lead America into nuclear war. The copycats behind this silliness tried the two-wrongs-make-a-right strategy, suggesting Chinese espionage under Clinton-Gore could lead to nuclear war.

The ad buy was tiny – just $60,000 – but the media gave it millions of dollars worth of airplay. Why the rush to this mysterious ad? An Associated Press story on October 27 began: "The Gore campaign said a new Republican attack advertisement modeled after the infamous ‘Daisy’ commercial...is a ‘desperate tactic’ by conservatives to help George W. Bush." While the AP promoted the "Daisy" ad story today as "top news," they did not report on the NAACP ad. It didn’t matter that the NAACP boasted of spending $2 million, not $60,000, on their advertising attack.

Given that the NAA(S)CP gets its money from white liberals, this is too rich.

If I am not mistaken liberal white organizations continue to fund and have always funded the NAALCP. Frizzel needs to get his head out of the sand.

Mfume calls black conservatives puppets

So, because one is of a particular skin colour, they're bound to a particular ideology? Shades of "Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Fuehrer". Sieg Bloody Heil to you, Mr. Mfume, you prat.

I guess I've got my guys confused, but whoever was on O'Reilly was claiming that unless Bush came to their meeting, how else could they know what his views were?

How about reading?! Surely Bush's positions are written somewhere?!

Bill pointed out they'd referred to Bush using the terms terrorist, Taliban, swastika, and Mfume's response was, 'Yeah, I know, but nobody's going to like you all the time. If you can't take some criticism and you're running for president, you just shouldn't get out of bed!'

Those terms are 'criticism'?? And Bill let him off.

I tell you who's not an ass-kisser though...Greta van Susteren on Fox ripped into Gingrich this week, and the next day another anchorbabe at Fox did the same, interupting, rude. What's their dislike of him all about?

Gingrich was pointing out that Bush/Cheney will handle the campaign like businessmen, but John/johns will handle it like trial lawyers: they'll have a different perspective, they just want to win. Greta got all upset, saying she was a trial lawyer before and it's a respectable job and ripped into him. He came back saying No, lawyers just want to win for their clients, right? She had to shut up.

Greta neglected to say that her husband, a lawyer, is working for Kerry.

Queasy Mfume has the same effect on black America that Islam has on its subjects.

Twice in the past 14 years have world leaders called upon the Black Man in the United States to rise up against their White suppressors.

One was in the mid 1980's when Moammar Khadafi (who during that period was close to Louis Farrakhan) called upon American Blacks to "rise up against" their American White Suppressors and revolt.

Another was in the early 1990's when Saddam Hussein did the very same thing - he target the American Black Man to rise up against the White American suppressors and revolt.

Blacks are specially targeted by Islam as very prime for proselytizing and converting to Islam. This happens very often in American prisons, where angry Blacks and Hispanics are being converted to Islam in large numbers with the converts being released upon society to practice their new "faith" (consider Joseph Padilla).

This phenomenon bears watching closely. Al Qaeda is watching it. Islamic leaders abroad are very interested in it.
