I think that the “progressives” are under the assumption that if they say it enough, it’ll become the “truth.” The “it,” in this instance, is the charge that the Tea Parties are racist. FOX News has the story that the NAACP is about to chime in as well.
The NAACP reportedly is about to take up a resolution to condemn the Tea Party movement for “explicitly racist behavior.”
The Kansas City Star reported that the organization plans to vote as early as Tuesday on the language at its annual convention in Kansas City. The resolution reportedly will call on “all people of good will to repudiate the racism of the Tea Parties” and stand against the movement’s attempt to “push our country back to the pre-civil rights era.”
Tea Party groups have repeatedly denied allegations of racism. Gina Loudon, one of the founders of the St. Louis Tea Party, called the NAACP’s charges untrue and said it was a “shame” the NAACP was going down that road.
“I can’t believe that the Tea Party is even going to be put in a position of dignifying something like that,” she said. “This is sad because this established organization is being used by the left.”
She said Tea Partiers generally do all they can to give minority conservatives a platform.
According to the Kansas City Star, the NAACP resolution will accuse the groups of engaging in racist behavior by displaying signs “intended to degrade people of color generally and President Barack Obama specifically.”
It will also accuse the activists of abusing black members of Congress — an apparent reference to an incident in March when Tea Party protesters allegedly hurled racial epithets at black lawmakers on Capitol Hill ahead of a health care vote. Tea Party members afterward challenged that account and no evidence was produced to show any racist actions.
I know that Breitbart still has a stack of money for the first person that turns over a tape that shows the “n” word was used. And after all of these months, no on has collected. I wonder why?
In the meantime, the NAACP is strangely silent on another issue that impacts the African American Community.
The same mafia-style Chicago thugocracy that got Obama into his state senate seat (by elbowing all his opponents off the ballot with an army of lawyers seizing on bogus technicalities) is now using the same brutal gutter tactics to silence an electrifying black conservative.
State senate candidate Cedra Crenshaw of Bolingbrook, Illinois is a brilliant, Tea Party-backed patriot who champions the free market, limited government, and legitimately got herself on the ballot with the required number of signatures.
WHAAAAAAT??? The Tea Party BACKED, AFRICAN AMERICAN candidate? Apparently, the Tea Parties are color blind. I guess that goes against the narrative, so the MSM and the NAACP will just pretend that this didn’t happen.
So, here is a link to Ms. Crenshaw’s campaign website. The NAACP won’t support her, so I guess us “racist” Teat Party folks will have to do it.
It’s a strange, strange world we are living in, isn’t it?

I believe that future generations should have the same opportunities that myself, and those that came before me, had. My parents taught me that I could do anything I wanted to do. I don’t want to have to tell my daughter, “You can do whatever the government tells you to do.” We are at a crossroads in this country; are we going to be free, or are we going to be slaves to the nanny state. I choose freedom.

They don’t just think that if they say something enough it will become true, they know that it WILL become true– at least in the eyes of the media and in the eyes of some Americans. We have seen them use this tactic before, one case is GITMO. They just keep repeating the lies until people forget what the real truth is.
And now Michelle Obama is getting involved in this lie, do they really want to insight a race war? I thought that Barack Obama was supposed to be the post-racial president?
The other side of this is to cause discouragement. They wear people down over time. We have to outlast them.
You mean those raaaacists are backing a black woman? So much for the white sheets over their heads. You’d think that tea partiers had been dressing in paramilitary garb with batons in front of polling stations or publicly calling for the murder of black people and their babies…
Oh, uh, never mind.
I know Karen, it’s so easy to mix that up!
heh, what Karen said.
Thanks for stopping by, Fuzzy. That was a good one.
I’m not sure, but I think Mort Zuckerman might be a raaaaacist…
Linked at RR today- thx Matt:

I saw that RR. It’s an excellent post. My compliments.
Heh. The St. Louis area Tea Party has issued a condemnation of the NAACP’s condemnation!
I saw that, and did a post on it.
hi MATT!..o yea they could care less about the Black Panthers but oh those awful Tea partiers!..what loons!
It’s an upside down world, isn’t it?
I also heard that the St. Louis Tea Party turned the tables on the NAACP. Good for them.
Have you thought of nominating Cedra Crenshaw for the Ten Buck Fridays poll?
I have, though she is a state candidate. I’m also look at a couple of others too.
Funny how they are not talking about the lack of prosecution of the Black Panther case.
Yeah, it’s almost as if they are ignoring it or something…
I’m going to start a petition to protest the racist tendencies of the NAACP.
After yesterday, you’d get a lot of signatures.
This is to be expected coming from the NAACP! That organization exist only as long as it can stir the racial pot. It’s there life-blood and those in control of that organization will never miss a chance to play the race card. Too bad so many belief them.
They could do so much more. They could be a positive force. Instead, they follow the politics of victimization rather than victory.
Let them accuse and smear, the more they do it, the more people out there will see who the real racists and liars really are.
That is 100% true sir. Thanks.
Matt,
They do wear people down. I myself don’t even deal with it anymore when I hear the “Poor Me” whining. I think it is time for all people of all colors to get equal. What they mean by equality is a gift of cash. They don’t mean work, dedication, or educating themselves. They want to work at a big job talking street talk and they think this is unfair. The only unfair I see is the way they demand more from everyone.
As for me, my guilt days are over. Perhaps if we were a little bolder in our conversations with blacks we would be less on the defense. White people are generally put off by the in-your-face style of many blacks and don’t speak up to avoid confrontation. This only enables that bad behavior. Speak up. Intelligent people can work through it. The fools we will never win.
Thanks for the work.
Ken
Thank you Ken. I think we have been cowed into avoiding confrontations. The claim of racism is meant to do just that.
I’m planning a post with a variation on that theme. It’s my opinion that a large percentage of minority groups have been convinced that they cannot succeed as individual human beings, and that they have to rely on the Democrats for their existence. Same type of thing. We’ve been “trained” to avoid the racism tag. They’ve been trained into dependency. If minorities free their minds and stand up for themselves, they will be the greatest allies we will ever have. They represent an incredible source of human potential, but they’ve been connived into not using it.
