NAACP says: Oust Bush!

[stray bullet]

The NAACP is a hate organization, no better than the KKK or neo-Nazis that spew hate, but society finds them acceptable because they consist of college educated blacks. In the past, they have made extremely racist and inflammatory speeches,as usual, blaming all the problems of blacks on whites.

In 2000, GWB did visit them and got treated like dirt. They wanted to discuss nothing, they just wanted him there to yell their typical nonsense.

Now, before anyone tells me what they did in past years doesn't matter, or it wasn't directed at Bush, they have recently said-
-Bush's administration's idea of equal rights is the American flag and a confederate swastika.
-Bush was 'interested in bringing back the confederacy'

They recently compared the Republican party to terrorists, calling the religious right of America the 'Taliban'.

They went around calling him a bigot, etc, etc, etc.

Bush has no business talking to them. They have nothing to contribute to America but divisiveness and bigotry.

To be fair, I haven't heard much about the NAACP lynching people.

Sticks and stones and nooses may break my bones, but free speech is protected under the first amendment.

I don't recall that the NAACP was too fond of President Reagen either. The racial division hasn't gotten any smaller since then.

It was quite clear I was speaking of spewing hatred, not acting on it.

I always love it when people refer to the first amendment to defend bigotry and hateful statements. Not the legal right to it, no, but the actual statements themselves.
Perhaps you could point to which of my posts I said I wanted to take away that right, because that is the only reason to post that?

Well, here's the thing. You said the NAACP was "no better than" the KKK. I'd say that saying hateful things is not as bad as actually, you know, killing people, so I'm gonna go ahead and disagree with you on this point.

In any case, I'm not convinced the NAACPs speech is hateful, but even if it were, they still would be no where near the level of the KKK or Neo-Nazi movement.

Note ~ the sigh is not directed at you, as I thank you for that particular quote. its directed at those who claimed Bush never visited a NAACP convention. I simply can't believe how much misinformation is being spread around by those opposed to Bush and Republicans.

I think the whole point was that Bush never visited them when he was president.
He only visited them in 2000 when he was a presidential candidate.

Once he became president he no longer visited them.

What does this imply?

NAACP is as valid as my local clown university

In any case, I'm not convinced the NAACPs speech is hateful,

Blaming all the problems of the world on the Jews = Blaming all the problems of the world on whites.

but even if it were, they still would be no where near the level of the KKK or Neo-Nazi movement.

The KKK as a violent movement is neutered in America today. Black separatist groups such as the Nation of Islam actually have some shred of power in America, unlike the KKK or any National Socialist group. Read up on why Trey Parker and Matt Stone decided not to make an episode bashing the Nation of Islam due to death threats.

Just curious....what does the Nation of Islam have to do with the NAACP? Last time I checked, not all "black separatist groups" (as you call it) were the same thing.

You are going to disagree on a point you made up by taking what I sad out of context when I just made the context clear for you?
Yeah, I'm going to have to disagree with that point too, because it is yours, not mine.

No, being a college education black man spewing hate is socially acceptable to most news organizations, which typically fear putting them in any negative light by reporting the horrible things they say. Being a part of the KKK or neo-nazi group, does not give you that immunity.

It implies he had an unproductive meeting with them and knows better than to waste his time with that bunch.

It is very simple, people are desperately trying to make Bush a racist, a bigot or at the very least, disinterested in helping minorities. Lies don't matter.

So much for compassion, so much for forgiveness, so much for making a semblance of trying to understand, so much for being a uniter and not a divider, so much for doing what Christ would do. The higher authority Bush answers to may be divine in his eyes, but Karl Rove is not God.

This is a survey that the NAACP sends out to the potential candidates (sent August 2003). George Bush declined to fill it out...I think it's pretty obvious why when you see that almost every democratic canidate on every question agrees with the position of the NAACP.

One note: according to this, Edwards is for the death penalty while Kerry is against...just interesting.

What does compassion and forgiveness have to do with going into a cave of hungry wolves?

WHAAAA!?! You mean that the NCAAP does not support a President who opposes affirmative action? Why, I'm...I'm...speechless.

can you back this claim up?
