Tea Party NAACP Resolution
Tea Party NAACP Resolution – When the NAACP announced that they were considering condemning the Tea Party because they felt that a large portion of the party pushed a racist agenda, a number of Tea Party supporters quickly stepped to the aide of the movement. NAACP President and CEO Ben Jealous addressed the situation being debated at the organization’s annual convention.
“Expel the bigots and racists in your ranks or take the responsibility for them and their actions,” Jealous said. “We will no longer allow you to hide like cowards and hide behind signs that say ‘Lynch Our President’ or anyone else.”
He also took aim at a number of high-profile Tea Party supporters, including Sarah Palin and Rand Paul. Jealous said that he believes that Sarah Palin is looking to set the country back.
Members of the Tea Party quickly fired back at Jealous and the NAACP. The St. Louis Tea Party chapter responded by releasing their own resolution of condemning, and demanded the the NAACP take another look at their resolution for reconsideration.
The Tea Party has come under fire many times since they first became popular several months ago. Despite the fact that the group has received the support of a number of high-profile backers, a number of their supporters have made statements that have landed them in hot water with other organizations, including the NAACP. It will be interesting to see how big this dispute grows in the coming days. Hopefully both sides will be able to reach an agreement.

Rich. The National Association for the Advancement of (Liberal) Colored People is the most racist organization in the country. They are no better than than the KKK. Their tactics are the same. Spread lies, practice intimidation and slander their enemies. If there was ever a case of the pot calling the kettle black, this is it. Will the NAACP condemn the racist militant Black Panthers and their outrageous and criminal members? No. Will Obama or his attorney general? No. The real racists are in power right now and need to be kicked out on their keesters.
I try to stop and think how did this idea get started? So I have looked at some tea party sites and every comment that I have seen from Tea Party members related to making the case that they are not racist, look like racist comments. I am not saying that NAACP is not racist, but it does not seem like a good idea to say you are not racist by making racist comments. All the comments are from white people. I guess the proof will be if we have a white president and the Tea Party goes away. Also, my taxes have not gone up under President Obama, they have gone down? Isn’t that the whole reason for the Tea Party?
How do you know all the comments are from “white people”? You must be a racest.
Benjamin Fat Jealous. Whata buffoon.
And now you know how bigoted the NAACP is. Examine closely the protests of the Tea Party vs. La Raza or ACORNs activities. Where does the NAACP stand on ACORN…or on the BPs intimidating voters at polling places?
Where has their OUTRAGE been for months over these despicable acts? We’ll never know because they won’t answer and the blindly biased MSM (main sewer media) won’t cover it. Was the billboard offensive? YES! Should it have ever been put up? NO! Should the NAACP cast all Tea Party members as racists? Only if they are racists too!
AMERICA BEWARE! They are just gearing up to divide the nation some more before they are faced with a November to Remember!!
Oh, and calling the Tea Party “teabaggers” reveals you as the hater you are while you call them “biased and haters.” It only makes them more determined.
