Missing Democrats an 'affront' to NAACP

[Libloather]

The NAACP's top leadership lashed out...

Disarray? Partisan? Gridlock? Oh, yeah...

[Libloather]

...you certainly have no legitimacy going into black communities asking for votes,'' said Mfume...

Can those votes be bought - Mf?

[sweetliberty]

"The actions drew outrage Saturday from NAACP President Kweisi Mfume and Chairman Julian Bond, who told The Herald that any candidate who skipped the forum would lose credibility with black voters."

Let the games begin.

"You should kneel before Zod!"

Sounds like the NAACP is starting to figure out they're irrelevant.

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

>civil rights organization

The NAACP is not a "civil rights" organization. Civil rights are not specific to any race. It should be called what it is- a black liberal advocacy group. Liberals love hiding behind these altruistic and non-partisan sounding names (ie: National Organization of Women) while shamelessly peddling partisan politics. It works effectively on the masses who assume these groups have no political axe to grind. We should press the media to quit doing the bidding of the Democrat party, and adopt a policy of evenhandedness in labeling. We all know they would never mention any conservative group without throwing out "right-leaning" as if to instantly rob them of their objectivity.

[yoe]

The NAACP is under scrutiny for practicing politics under a tax-exempt banner. Kweisi Mfume and Chairman Julian Bond are a couple of racist charlatans who could care less about America if it isn't of the black race. Civil Rights are their bread and butter for without strife among the Black Americans, they would have no jobs.

When you look at America you see every ethnic face the world over – we are the world; we are the free world with a Constitution better than any in the history of the world. Screw them and the horse they rode in on, their racist days are over. Even a democrat recognizes that!

"You should kneel before Zod!"

Geek test. It's either:

"Come son of Jor-El, kneel before Zod!"

or

"Come to me son of Jorel! Kneel before Zod!"

or

"Come to me Superman if you dare! I defy you! Come... come and kneel before Zod. ZOD!"

...but I don't think it's "you *should*". Muhahah!

[Guillermo]

These morons have yet to figure out that they have NO clout in the Dem party precisely because 95% of them always vote for Dems.

If the Dems had to fight for their votes, then as a group, they would hold sway within the party.

[JoeSixPack1]

Holy moly!
I sure am glad he didn't mis-quote Kipling.

<\:-)~~

[GOPJ]

Blacks are a passe victim group for liberals. How bad does it get? Will the DNC make Sharpton out to be the new Sister Soulja? Will dems hurt the ones who love 'em? (Bet on it)

The NAACP's top leadership lashed out Saturday at several of the major Democratic candidates for president, calling their intention to skip Monday's candidate forum an ''affront'' to the nation's oldest civil rights organization.

[mhking]

but I don't think it's "you *should*"

Details, details...what is this, some kind of Spanish Inquisition?

[farmfriend]

But I don't think it makes a "civil rights" organization

AAM, you have a hard time distingishing humor? Lighten up.

CCM, see the link in post #30.

[JoeSixPack1]

ROFL! Chumming the waters?

[Kip Lange]

Oh, you won't get me that easy.

Okay, yes you will.

"NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Our three weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.... Our four...no... Amongst our weapons.... Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as fear, surprise.... I'll come in again."

[Stultis]

Shades of algore! Sounds like some of the limousine libs are suffering from a "Low Negro Tolerance Level". Wonder if the eventual 'Rat candidate will pass on kissing Oprah this time too?

[beaversmom]

''...to lay out what you believe in and the direction you think our country should go in...

Come on boys--you need to get with the program. The NAACP wants to know what the "gimmes" are going to be. I think leftist/liberal blacks are soon to have a rude awakening in this country. The Dems will continue to take them for granted and the Republicans have all but given up on ever making inroads with any sizeable numbers to matter and moved on to the Hispanic vote where the potential in numbers is much better.(I don't like the fact that some Republicans will start to schmooze the Hispanics with "gimmes" to get votes BTW). Looks like Queasy and company have voted themselves into a corner with not too many bargaining chips. The gimmes are like a drug and the leftist/liberal blacks are too silly to realize the Democrat leadership has got them just where they want them--dependent on the system. Where are they going to go now? Maybe Al and Jesse can start their own party and make blacks even more irrelevant to the two party system than they are becoming. No offense meant to my conservative brothers and sisters out there who happen to be black--but 90% of the population ain't playing it smart.

[ChadGore]

Count the number of democrats that arived at this Carol Mosley Braun anouncement party.

Zero, nadda, zippo.

Not one single democrat in the Chicagoland are could even bring themselves to *show up* at Ms. Browns anouncment.

[mhking]

I'm going to be in studio (at least in Atlanta) for Joe Scarborough's show on MSNBC tonight on this very topic.

From what I understand, it'll probably be in their opening segment.

[honeygrl]

He pointed to an elderly woman in a wheelchair and said, ``It's an affront to people like her, who came to this convention to see the presidential candidates.''

Think about the old handicapped people! C'mon demonrats!

[Warrior Nurse]

Cacique you hit the nail on the head with that one. I am sick and tired of black folks acting like whitey owes us something. STFU and get a job. These idiots critize everything and they wouldn't know the truth if it walked up and bi$&h slapped them. Even on O'Reilly tonight that guy Guyot was spewing the same crap. It is time for the people to start refuting and I hope Mike does it tonight on Scarbourgh Country.

Hope all is well up where you are.
