“We take no issue with the Tea Party. We believe in freedom of assembly and people raising their voices in a democracy,” NAACP President and CEO Ben Jealous said in a statement.
“We take issue with the Tea Party’s continued tolerance for bigotry and bigoted statements. The time has come for them to accept the responsibility that comes with influence and make clear there is no space for racism and anti-Semitism and other forms of bigotry in their movement,” Jealous added.
This just seems so self serving to me. The NAACP is basing these accusations on a supposed epithet thrown at a black congressman during a march, and a few comments by Rand Paul taken out of context. You are not doing this because of bigotry NAACP, you are doing this because you want to be relevant. You have served little to no purpose lately and so this is your attempt at becoming relevant. Just remember you sow what you reap.
