NAACP "Tea Party Racists" That's Like the Pot Calling the Tea Kettle Black.

Election '10: Democrats battle imaginary racist conspiracies, claim that ghostly foreign financiers oppose them and even smear one Republican with bizarre kidnapping charges. Can't they just run on their record?

The 111th Congress fulfilled liberal Democrats' decades-long goal of government-run health care, spent over a trillion dollars on a Keynesian stimulus that promised millions of yet-to-arrive jobs and punished Wall Street for the financial crisis with a massive new regulatory regime.(BALTIMORE) -- A controversial new report about the Tea Party alleges that white power groups and militias have tried to infiltrate the movement in order to “push these protesters toward a more self-conscious and ideological white supremacy.”Now, seemingly overnight, Democrats may lose their majority in the House, and in the Senate their majority leader maybe unseated.

So they've decided on the Hail Mary pass. Since they think Republicans are nut jobs, maybe they can convince voters of it.

Those thousands of Tea Partyers, including many women? They can't be a true populist uprising. So the NAACP, a stalwart ally of liberal Democrats, unveils an October Surprise: a report charging that the Tea Party is chock full of "anti-Semites, racists and bigots."

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People released the findings of the study called “Tea Party Nationalism,” funded in part by the liberal-backed Firedoll Foundation and written by white nationalism experts Devin Burghart and Leonard Zeskind.According to Judson Phillips, founder of the Tea Party Nation, the report is nothing more than a “liberal smear,” given that the more organized facets of the movement have repudiated racism. There are also questions about the timing of the report’s release, with the midterm elections less than two weeks away.

Burghart and Zeskind focused more on fringe Tea Party groups online and low-level county chapters, where allegations of racism have cropped up. They also cited five members in particular, including one former Tea Party official with ties to anti-Semitic or white nationalist groups.

NAACP President Ben Jealous said that his group’s support of the findings was not meant to attack the Tea Party as a whole but to simply repudiate any racists who may try to associate themselves with the movement. Jealous called most Tea Party supporters “sincere, principled people of good will.”

"Tea Party Nationalism" also claims that a large number of Tea Party backers are 'birthers,' who believe that President Obama was born outside the U.S., and therefore wasn't eligible to run for the White House. http://www.wtma.com/rssItem.asp?feedid=118&itemid=29590035Election '10: Democrats battle imaginary racist conspiracies, claim that ghostly... more

THE TEA PARTY, THE NAACP AND THE RETURN OF THE TAP DANCE KID

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People or NAACP was founded in 1909 by 53 white "Liberals" in response to lynchings and a so-called "race riot" in 1908 in Springfield Illinois. All the presidents of the NAACP from 1910 to 1966 were white men. This fact and a reputation for being in favor of integration with the status quo caused some friction between its most famous black member, W. E. B. DUBOIS, who was the editor of the NAACP's publication, "The Crisis," and the most nationalistic and economically independent minded black leader of the era, namely MARCUS GARVEY. Garvey is reported to have visited the NAACP's offices of "The Crisis" to invite Dubois to a meeting and found it staffed entirely by whites. Dubois brushed off the invitation and it appears the relationship, between Debois and Garvey, continued to deteriorate from there. All of this background to establish that the NAACP often called the nation's oldest and most prestigious civil rights organization still has credibility and relevancy problems.

Although the NAACP helped end lynching and fought segregation and discrimination, some people are questioning its relevancy on its 100th anniversary. Its current president, BEN JEALOUS, ignited a conservative backlash by calling on the Tea Party leadership to repudiate the racist elements among their ranks. Although he actually missed the mark, since this so-called movement doesn't just contain racist isolated "bad apples" but, it's ideological genesis and inspiration is... in my opinion, formed of a hate-filled and racist backlash to the Obama presidency. Enter ANDREW BREITBART, characterized in the media as a conservative "blogger." But in reality, Breitbart is a right wing professional "operative" whose job is to carry out media "hits " against all enemies -foreign and domestic." Unfortunately, his victim this time was a completely innocent sacrifice, in the person of SHIRLEY SHERROD, the head of the Georgia USDA. Mrs. Sherrod was the victim of a hatchet job that included broadcasting clips from a speech she gave at a NAACP meeting; where she recounted her experience, with a white farmer in danger of losing his farm. The irony, which she pointed out, was that hundreds of black farmers who had lost their farms, as a result of discrimination by this same agency. Mrs. Sherrod told how she realized that all poor people, both black and white, were being taken advantage of, by the "powers that be." She actually was successful in saving the white family's property; but, that's not the story Fox News told.

Before anyone reviewed the tape, in order to ascertain the truth, Mrs.Sherrod had been fired by the Dept. of Agriculture, vilified by BEN JEALOUS and many media outlets. But, as in devine intervention, SHIRLEY SHERROD was quickly vindicated and offered an apology from the Sec. of Agriculture and offered her job back. BEN JEALOUS also backtracked and offered his "mea culpa's." This is the whole point, before Jealous revived the tape the NAACP tape he started tap dancing to the Fox News beat. So frightened was he, of the charge of racism from the GLEN BECK's and BILL O'RIELLY's he threw the sister "under the bus" After 100 years of "tap dancing" to white liberal tunes... is the NAACP now "buck dancing" to the beat of the conservative drum?

Corporate Media Blogger Says Oakland Freeway Shooter Linked to Tea Party (MUST READ!)

It looks like the corporate media may soon use Byron Williams to demonize the Tea Party movement. Earlier today the Associated Press reported that the man who confronted police and ended up in a pitched gun battle on Interstate 580 in Oakland, California, had it out for the ACLU and Tides Foundation. “Oakland police Officer Jeff Thomason says Byron Williams was upset with the ACLU and Tides Foundation for their left-leaning political views.”

The Tides Foundation is funded in part by George Soros’ Open Society Institute. It is a high level globalist operation that also gets cash from AT&T, ChevronTexaco, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Verizon, and Bill and Melinda Gates. It has partnered with the Ford Foundation and the World Health Organization. The Ford Foundation has a history of collaboration with the CIA. It is said that Soros has donated more than $5 million to the ACLU since 1998.

On Sunday, it was reported that a Soros-funded group with close links to the Obama administration has called for the FCC to investigate both talk radio and cable television news. “The organization, calling itself Free Press, claims media companies are engaging in “hate speech” because a disproportionate number of radio and cable-news networks are owned by non-minorities,” writes Aaron Klein for WorldNetDaily.
“Hate has seemingly emerged as a profit-model for many radio programs syndicated throughout the country, because only a few companies own the majority of the radio stations nationally,” the group declares.

A San Francisco Chronicle blogger going by the name Zennie62 writes today that the suspected shooter in Oakland was a Tea Party sympathizer.

“Byron Williams… hated left-wing politicians and had on a bullet-proof vest. In other words, a Tea Party sympathizer,” he writes. “That he was on the Oakland stretch of I-580 may have been no accident, considering Oakland’s a hot bed of left-wing political activity. Byron Williams also reads (sic) like a Tea Party sympathizer, and not exactly the warm and fuzzy kind. More like the kind that wants to harm you if you disagree with him.” He then compares Williams to Joe Stack and Mark Williams of the Republican-dominated Tea Party Express. Zennie62 says Williams is a racist because he disagreed with the NAACP’s resolution calling the Tea Party movement racist.
The “GOP and the Tea Party, and its extremist expressions of hate for liberal politics are in a way responsible for encouraging the actions of i-580 Shooter (now he has a title) Byron Williams, and for Joe Stack too,” writes the San Francisco Chronicle blogger. “The GOP better look at itself and start being part of the solution, because it and Fox News are helping to produce domestic terrorists at an alarming rate. Republicans can’t just ignore the Tea Party Express, it must totally repudiate it, and the actions of its most hateful members.”

Obviously, Mr. Zennie62 has not done his homework. The Tea Party Express is closely aligned with the GOP Borg Collective. “The self-described grassroots activists in Tea Party Patriots and the American Liberty Alliance see the Tea Party Express as a sham organization, using the political heft of the movement to push a bland, partisan Republican agenda,” writes David Weigel for the Washington Independent.

According to Politico, the Tea Party Express is a creature of the establishment Republican consulting firm Russo Marsh + Rogers.It looks like the corporate media may soon use Byron Williams to demonize the Tea... more
