Missing Democrats an 'affront' to NAACP

What isn't an affront to NAACP? The dims take them for granted. It's about time they see that. Let them all vote for Sharpton or Mostly-Brown.

BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE AT HOW THE
NAALCP
IS INCREASINGLY BECOMING:
IRRELEVANT, UNIMPORTANT, AND PREDICTABLE IN ITS POLITICAL INFLUENCE.

See, Kweisi, LIEberman, Ambulance chaser Edwards and the rest KNOW your constituents will vote for them NO MATTER WHAT, if they are the nominees. That is what happens when you become permanent, willing residents of the Liberal Plantation. That's why, Kweisi, your organization is becoming more worthless everyday and why BAMPAC, and Ward Connerly, and Starr Parker are becoming more and more influential in the black community.

I love it.

The NRA was founded in 1871. Very Very close.

[ConservativeMan55]

I guess you could say the NRA was the first legitimate organization.

[farmfriend]

Yeah, very close. The National Grange is the only privately owned building in the white house complex.

[farmfriend]

I guess you could say the NRA was the first legitimate organization.

Hey, what does that mean? The Grange isn't legitimate?

[antivenom]

Best part...the blacks will most likely "punish" the non-attendees and not even vote. I see a very low black voter turn out in the up-coming election.

They should get rid of the second "A." They have no interest in "advancement."

Wasn't the Grange/Patrons of Husbandry originally a political action group for farmers against the railroad and financial interests, rather than a civil rights group?

A quick look at their website doesn't reveal any particular Constitutional orientation. The Grange

[Paul Atreides]

They should also get rid of the "CP." It is no longer allowed to say "Colored People."

[Paul Atreides]

Oh, they'll vote. They'll hold their noses and vote for Massah.

[farmfriend]

Wasn't the Grange/Patrons of Husbandry originally a political action group for farmers against the railroad and financial interests, rather than a civil rights group?

Officially yes but on the day of their founding, women had an equal voice and an equal vote. There was, nor is, no position within the Grange that women can not hold. Going against the railroads and developing anti trust law helped black farmers as well as white.

[AnAmericanMother]

And all of those are very laudable principles. But I don't think it makes a "civil rights" organization, since their primary aim was not to preserve or restore rights guaranteed under the Constitution.

The current crop of "civil rights advocates" have hijacked the term to mean only the 13th and 14th amendments, but it should include all of the Constitution.

[radiohead]

It's when blacks realize they have always been taken for granted by the RATS that maybe things will change

truer words were never spoken. wake up, black people!

[ConservativeMan55]

I don't know what the Grange is?

[Lunatic Fringe]

LOL! Who will the NAACP now endorse? Moseley-Braun? Dean? The real heavyweights are not attending.

[Tony in Hawaii]

Wasn't it a ZZ Top song?

[Paul Atreides]

Maybe they could write in the first black woman in congress: Hillary.

[garbanzo]

This will continue until they wake up.

If by "they" you mean the GOP setting up outreach programs to the black community, you're right. If by "they" you mean blacks, then you should probably stop insulting them by insisting they're stupid for not voting your way.
