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."

For every mindless sheep who listens to Mfume, there are two or three others who will begin to question. The seed of doubt about these frauds has been planted, just wait.

Black people are not stupid.

Of course. Black conservatives speak in da Massa's voice. And black liberals of course are free to disagree with the received orthodoxy of the Democratic Party leadership. The racism that wouldn't be countenanced if it came from a white conservative, Kwaisi Mfume gets to spread as though it were the gospel truth. Talk about a double standard.

Mfume wants blacks to stay on the Mastah Democrat Plantation is all. He resents those who want to be emancipated, I hope I spelled that right.

I saw that segment! Does Mfume really think that he can get in to the GOP Convention?!?

Normally, I really like O'Reilly, but he played buttkisser extraordinaire with Mfume.

The embraced black race leadership doesn't accept a black person as competent unless they endorse the slaughter of unborn black babies and mouth the racial hate-speech of Jesse, Mfume, the black Democrat communist caucus, et al. I guess Lyndon was right ...

the naacp has to scare african americans into thinking that
someone or some powerful interest is trying to disenfranchise
them, otherwise there would be no need for the naacp, right?

we've got your number, mfume. it's only a matter of time before the people that you enslave realize what you're up to. colin powell and condi rice are your worst nightmare.
