Big Government has ’em.

Deneen Borelli

I’m deeply concerned that the NAACP is being used as a political tool to do the dirty work of the progressive movement. I urge blacks concerned about the tea parties to read the Contract from America — a list of policy objectives for Congress that was developed by tea party members nationwide. These objectives are clearly about limited government and liberty. In fact, the NAACP should be very concerned Obama’s cap-and-trade energy policy will lead to higher energy prices and higher unemployment – particularly among poor and minority households.

Kevin Martin:

To label peaceful political dissent as racists is akin to the behavior of the segregationists who once labeled the peaceful dissent lead by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as troublemaking. The founders of the NAACP must be rolling in their graves at the thought that dissent against an unfair system is now considered a reason for NAACP condemnation.

R. Dozier Gray:

I wish I could be surprised that the NAACP has passed a resolution condemning the tea party movement because of alleged racism. Unfortunately, I am not. But I really just don’t get it. It’s as if simply not being totally in the Obama camp makes one automatically anti-black.

Robin Martin:

I condemn the NAACP because they are no longer advancing the cause of freedom and equality. They are instead advancing a sophomoric, short sighted, and reactionary resolution to brand the Tea Party Movement as “racist”. They act as a police group for racial bigotry but only as it pertains to black people — notice the silence of the NAACP regarding the Black Panther member’s call to bash the heads of white babies. It’s unfortunate that the NAACP has become nothing more than a divisive cabal of Black Quasi-Socialist Progressive Fundamentalist Racism Chasers who are more interested in identity politics than they are in a prosperous and free nation.

Lt. Col Allen West:

This NAACP Resolution is consistent with the Obama administration tactic of demonizing and blaming someone else for your own failures and shortcomings, and not take responsibility and accountability.

Cedra Crenshaw:

Chicago Machine Democrats claim to be the party of diversity and inclusion, yet if you are a Black, conservative Republican mother, with a professional background in accounting, supported by the tea party movement, Chicago Machine Democrats do not encourage this type of diversity. Instead they unjustly knock you off the ballot and then talk about the lack of diversity in the Republican party and the tea party movement. The NAACP plays right into this scam.

I encourage NAACP members and convention delegates to attend a tea party event and get first hand knowledge about the true purpose of the tea party movement: limited government, fiscal responsibility, and individual liberty. The NAACP needs to leave the racism where it belongs – with the Chicago Machine Democrats.

and lets finish with Marie Stoughter

What saddens me is that this organization chooses to focus on imaginary slights, while real threats to this country exist in the form of New Black Panther members who have been caught on tape intimidating voters with billy clubs. Rather than condemning this behavior, it is largely ignored by the NAACP and a presidential administration that continues to refuse to prosecute such.

The Tea Party uses “racial epithets?” I soundly condemn the NAACP for failing to rebuke the New Black Panther members for inciting racial hatred (“explicitly racist behavior”) and, yes, actually using racial epithets as evidenced by the ranting of King Samir Shabazz caught on tape.

“We’re deeply concerned about elements that are trying to move the country back, trying to reverse progress that we’ve made,” said NAACP spokeswoman Leila McDowell. “We are asking that the law-abiding members of the Tea Party repudiate those racist elements . . . that are within the Tea Party movement.”

This statement reeks of the hypocrisy that has really held this country back.

You can see on memorandum that the MSM will not talk to any of these people, it doesn’t fit the narrative.

Two connected stories…

One via Instapundit at Radio Equalizer:

In the face of ominous poll data splashed on the front page of today’s Washington Post, libtalkers were in a tough position today. But only ultra-partisan Democratic Party crony Bill Press could manage to blame voters for Obama’s failure to thrive.

and from yesterday about Newsweek in commentary magazine:

He may have been right about that; within reason, people like to read more of what they like to read. He forgot, though, that readers are different from journalists, with different expectations, tastes, and, often, views of the world and what it should look like. He ignored the truth that the old newsmagazine editors lived by: journalists who write to satisfy people like themselves will soon run out of readers. The magazine that lies dying in Don Graham’s arms violated this rule week by week.

Bill Press, Newsweek and the Democratic party all hemorrhaging paying customers. You’ve gotta remember the rules if you want to stay in business.

As of 6:15 a.m. Hasn’t noticed the NAACP stuff, they are talking Politico and her running but not the NAACP stuff. I’ll keep you posted.

6:19 a.m. They go back to Fox and Kelly & Powers but they won’t talk about the issue yet.

6:26 a.m. They are talking about Palin’s fundraisering and not the NAACP stuff? Is there an order from on high to avoid this?

6:27 a.m. Willie mentions she was on facebook yesterday and nobody touches it, not even politico.

6:28 a.m. Mika is saying she is running and has no patience for anyone who suggests otherwise.

6:44 a.m. They are talking Crist and Pelosi. Joe says the democrats are trying to kill Crist. HA!

Forgot to mention that Tina Brown suggested that Democrats should want Palin running because she is a pushover. HA!

6:53 a.m. They are about to go back to the FoxFight, will they mention the underlying issue?

6:57 a.m. Mika asks what the point was, and the guys mention the New Black Panther voter intimidation business in passing, then go to Mel Gibson.

7:15 a.m. Budget & BP but no NAACP. It is just apparently too dangerous to risk having to give voice to black republican candidates for congress that a link to Palin’s statement might entail.

7:53 a.m. First budget stuff then Pete Carroll they are apparently not going to touch this with a ten foot pole.

8:00 a.m. I guess they must be reading. They finally mention it and try to connect it to the billboard in Iowa.

8:07 a.m. Joe is saying this is foolish but attacks Michele Bachmann.

8:25 a.m. Talking Larry King and Despicable Me, they haven’t touched on the Palin Johnson engagement. It will make Mika’s head explode.

8:42 a.m. Schumer talking about the BP Libyan release link. It is a legit story but there is a reason why it is pushed now.

8:50 a.m. Burns on the Steinbrenner. Did he just say they updated the wonderful “Baseball” to include the Red Sox win in the series? Not sure that’s what I heard, I hope so.

8:56 a.m. He is, they are YES!

And on Way too early not only are they mentioning Sarah Palin’s response but the Megan Kelly & Kristen Powers fight caused him to mention the Black Panther case in passing.

The moral of the story? Want to get a conservative issue mentioned on MSNBC? Have two hot blonds on Fox argue about it Loudly!
