Last gasp of a desperate NAACP: follows White House orders, plays race card to prevent even more blacks and Hispanics from joining Tea Party

The NAACP was founded in 1909 to advance the cause of equality for black Americans. Over the years it defended the rights of disenfranchised voters, fought segregation, and battled southern Democrats who continually attempted to craft legislation to harm African-Americans.

That proud history, however, has been subsumed in recent years by a series of increasingly partisan decisions that emphasize victimhood and reliance on government handouts. In essence, the NAACP leadership relies upon the Democrat Party -- no matter how awful their policies are -- and vice versa. An example is its implicit tolerance of teachers' unions at the expense of charter schools that benefit poor, urban kids most.

The group's latest embarrassment involves a resolution that claimed the grass roots Tea Parties were, by and large, "racist". The assertion was so patently ludicrous that even legacy media outlets couldn't keep a straight face.

...former Alaska governor Sarah Palin sent out a Twitter message about the group Tuesday, helping to make the NAACP convention a hot topic on conservative Web sites. She condemned the organization's passage of a resolution denouncing what it called "racist elements" within the "tea party" movement... The statement, which won overwhelming support among the group's voting members, sparked a round of denials from grass-roots conservatives and lots of media coverage.

The notion that the Tea Party movement is racist is laughably outrageous. Active Tea Party members belong to every race, religion, creed, color and culture.

Michael Meyers, New York's Civil Rights Coalition Leader slammed the NAACP yesterday for its idiotic claims.

So why would the NAACP market such a lie?

They're scared of even more blacks and Hispanics joining the Tea Party. Better to label them racists and hope that some folks are scared away.

The only thing even remotely racist about the Tea Party is the NAACP's bogus assertion.

To top things off, the NAACP has been reduced to the traditional Jackson-Sharpton modality of corporate shakedowns.

NAACP President Benjamin Jealous also released a letter to BP chief executive Tony Hayward, asking to meet with company officials to discuss his "outrage" that minority contractors are apparently being left out in the cleanup of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.

Today's NAACP is an anachronism and a laughingstock -- not necessarily in that order.

The 'Inappropriate Shrines' Contest

I'm proudly serving as a celebrity judge at iOwnTheWorld's latest prestigious contest.

We’ve been waiting for a good theme. It has revealed itself. In the spirit of the Mega Mosque at Ground Zero we are looking for Inappropriate Shrines, Symbols, Awards, Tributes etc.

An example would be a Benihana at the Arizona.

Or, as Mr. Pinko said, a loving tribute to Bucky Dent at Fenway Park.

Get creative, get outrageous, get poignant, get sad, get funny.

This contest is open until Thursday, July 15th, 5 PM EST. You are competing for a prize to be named later.

Knowing the folks who run these contests the prize could range from a lifetime supply of Ramen Noodles to a Ferrari Cabriolet, depending upon how their week at the craps table went.

So enter early and enter often.*


* Members of the Ross family and the New Black Panthers Party are not eligible for prize packages.

Life explained by scientific graphs

Papa B shared these informative charts with us.













Stop the Occupation

A recurring theme over the last decade has been Muslim-on-Muslim violence.

• The International Criminal Court (ICC) in the Hague charged the President of Sudan with genocide, citing 300,000 killed in Muslim-on-Muslim violence that has left 2.5 million in barbaric refugee camps.

• In Uganda Sunday, 75 people -- mostly Muslims watching the World Cup -- were killed by al-Shabab Islamists linked to al-Qaida. The barbarians believe that watching television is against Islamic religious law and that any Muslims who violate their dictate should be killed.

I blame Bush.

• In this country, a mosque was set afire just last week. True to form, the apologists who were named as co-conspirators in terror-funding trials -- also known as CAIR -- were quick to leap to conclusions, stating "given the recent wave of incidents targeting American mosques, a possible bias motive for this apparent arson attack must be considered... Unfortunately, there is a vocal minority in our society promoting anti-Muslim bigotry..."

Turns out a Muslim named Tamsir Lucien Mendy was charged with the crime.

* * * * * * * * *

Maybe if these other Muslims would just stop their illegal occupation of Palesti... Oh. Never mind.


I'm officially calling for a regressive income tax

If we can't do a flat tax or a Fair Tax, I hereby demand a regressive income tax.

The richer you are, the less your tax rates.

Consider: this will motivate people to get wealthier, which will allow them to pay less in taxes and keep more of their money. As they get wealthier, they'll invest more, hire more and spur the economy.

This also ensures everyone has skin in the game.

I'm not joking. I demand a regressive income tax. It couldn't possibly be worse than the insane Democrat policies that the President's own deficit commission has called a "cancer" that will "destroy our country from within."


Hmmm, Must Be His First, Last and Middle Name

Dan from New York:

During an interview last week with Israeli media, Obama was asked why he thought he was so unpopular in Israel, and he replied it must be his middle name.

I wonder what he thinks accounts for this: Majority of Americans lack faith in Obama: poll.

Let me guess. Must be racis...oh, never mind.
