Gee in the middle of a War a group chooses to release…

…a bunch of classified documents in the hopes of derailing the effort.

So on Morning Joe we have a panel of people all against the war commenting on it. (In fairness the entire regular panel is against the war anyway so they would have to have a guest on to defend it.) Is there outrage, is there anger and this kind of leak? Nah.

They are less excited about it then you would expect, they say it is info we mostly already know, no big surprises. Harold Ford makes the correct observation that war is generally not clean and easy and the administration needs to explain that to the public. Barnicle points out that “this is Bush info” is not going to fly.

Will anyone be prosecuted for this? Unlikely. That would depress the administration’s base that is already depressed going into a midterm. They may or may not care about Afghanistan but they sure care if it is lost on their watch.

You can be sure about one thing, you will see none of the media outrage that you did over the Palme Affair.

Bottom line, this is dishonorable act by people who don’t understand the meaning of the word and care less for the well being of the troops and the country than they do about their agenda. They should be prosecuted to the fullest extent that the law allows. This will take place sometime after the Beatles reunite by using Voodoo to revive zombified remains of George and John.

The NAACP beclowns itself

The NAACP is now debating a resolution to condemn the tea parties as racist. They have suddenly conveniently taken their webcast off the air in the middle of the debate, just after a NAACP member suggested to change the resolution to read “some” instead of all Tea Party members are racist…to protect Obama.

If they do this I think this lie will cost them plenty but lets see what other people have to say:

Col Allen West via Atlas:

“The NAACP has missed the target. Their target should not be the Tea Party, but instead the larger issues facing the Black community: astronomical unemployment rates (15.5%) and the breakdown of the Black family, which result in higher drop-out rates, disproportionate incarceration rates and teen pregnancy rates (12.6%). These issues should be the focus of increased scrutiny by the NAACP.

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.”

Ya think?

Gateway Pundit:

We will not be silenced:

Adrienne’s Corner:

Do you have days when you feel like you’ve crawled down a hole with Alice? Our world becomes “curiouser and curiouser”…

What do I think? I think the NAACP has become an organization of people who make their living off of the suffering and sacrifice of their elders. I think they have stopped worrying about Black Americans and are worried about a meal ticket that they have attacked to liberalism in general and the democratic party in particular. I think they are a collection of lesser sons of greater fathers.

Oh Phillip Klein has an informative tweet:

Just spoke to NAACP press office, startled that webcast would broadcast resolutions. Supposed to be closed press.

All I can think of is 2 Samuel 12:12a

Update: a few more reactions:

Gateway has this comment from the Tim Scott Campaign

I believe that the NAACP is making a grave mistake in stereotyping a diverse group of Americans who care deeply about their country and who contribute their time, energy and resources to make a difference.”

Michelle was liveblogging this until this point:

6:00pm Eastern…NAACP member calls for officials to shut out press…webcast shut down.

If the NAACP is not ashamed of itself it’s only because it has lost it’s ability to do so.

Update 2: Here is something from The National Center for Public Policy Research:

As the NAACP plans to use their group’s prestige to bash the tea party movement, members of the Project 21 black leadership network are urging delegates at the NAACP’s national convention not to turn the NAACP into a pawn for progressive political bosses.

Read the whole thing. BTW Fox just reported that the NAACP claims this is due to the Washington incident, no comment about the 100K Breitbart offer.

Legal Insurrection reports the resolution passed, he comments:

Make no mistake, either under the original or the revised version, the NAACP has placed itself firmly within the Democratic smear machine which for two years has been attempting to portray all opposition to Obama’s policies as racist…
The NAACP resolution is part of the divide-and-conquer strategy of the Obama administration and Democrats.

The target of the NAACP is not so much the Tea Party members, but other blacks. The NAACP seeks to isolate the Tea Party movement from a natural constituency, black social and economic conservatives. The resolution puts any black who associates with the Tea Parties at risk of being labeled an Uncle Tom or some of the other race-based epithets hurled at black conservatives by black liberals.

He links to Another Black Conservative who says:

Once again the NAACP is still trying to fight pre Civil Rights era struggles in a post Civil Rights era world. They will even go after a media made racial boogeyman to do it. The NAACP is working with the false story from the media that Tea Partiers hurled racial slurs at black congressmen. To date not a single video of the incident has ever emerged and the media itself has seems to drop the story all together. Yet here is the NAACP getting all fired up about it now. If the NAACP thought there was truth to this story, they should have made noise when it happened, instead of waiting until now.

Why did they wait you ask? Because the midterm elections are now four months away and the NAACP is more about shilling the leftist agenda than they are about the “advancement of colored people”. Rallying blacks against the Tea Party is more important to the leftist agenda than tackling the real issues facing the black community like poor schools, unemployment or the devastating effects of drugs and crime.

No New memeorandum thread but I have to scoot.

Update 3: Here is the thread.

Drew Walker has this to say on Twitter:

As a black person I am officially renaming the NAACP to the NAADP, Natnl Assoc for the Advcmnt of the Democratic Party

Update 4: Bob Belvedere and Carol’s Closet are much too kind. Thank you very much lady and gentleman.

Update 5: Ed Driscoll thinks the NAACP has fallen into a trap

Update 6: Trap sprung, Palin responds:

Having been on the receiving end of a similar spurious charge of racism (in a recent frivolous lawsuit which was finally dismissed by a federal judge), I know how Tea Party Americans feel to be falsely accused. To be unjustly accused of association with what Reagan so aptly called that “legacy of evil” is a traumatizing experience, and one of which the honest, freedom-loving patriots of the Tea Party movement are truly undeserving.

On this subject, I can recommend the statement issued by a man I was proud to endorse, Tim Scott, the GOP candidate from South Carolina’s First Congressional District. Tim, poised to become the first African-American Republican Congressman from the former Confederacy since Reconstruction, is himself a sign of a hopeful, truly post-racial future for our country. It gives added meaning to his warning that “the NAACP is making a grave mistake in stereotyping a diverse group of Americans who care deeply about their country and who contribute their time, energy and resources to make a difference.”

The only purpose of such an unfair accusation of racism is to dissuade good Americans from joining the Tea Party movement or listening to the common sense message of Tea Party Americans who simply want government to abide by our Constitution, live within its means, and not borrow and spend away our children’s futures. Red and yellow, black and white, this message is precious in all our sights. All decent Americans abhor racism. No one wants to be associated with any organization that is in any way racist in sentiment or origin. I certainly don’t want to be. Thankfully, the Tea Party movement is not racist or motivated by racism. It is motivated by love of country and all that is good and honest about our proud and diverse nation.

Well done NAACP, Palin’s statement will be carried everywhere which will highlight the Tim Scott Campaign and Scott will highlight other Black candidates running as republicans. It’s as good as a moneybomb for the lot of them. Driscoll was right! BAZINGA!

Update 7: ABC mentions Palin’s facebook answer without linking to it. Why? Because that would highlight the Tim Scott campaign and we can’t have that. They also mention Breitbart’s $100,000 challenge without linking to it.

And Miss Attila continues to fight…

With a pair of post highlighting first the great esteem the media holds R.L. Hymers, Jr, a snipit:

[“Linda”]: “I’ve seen him, personally, hit someone repeatedly in the face. I’ve seen him do that.”

Anson: “Sometimes the emotional abuse can be very public, even if the transgression appears to have nothing to do with religion. In this old church bulletin, one woman is attacked for ‘the soul damning sin of gluttony.’ Another is condemned for an alleged ‘unnatural sex crime,
her second.’”

Read the lot and shake your head. The second is another series of letters that concludes with a zinger:

10) I do not hold out any particular hope that Dr. Robert L. Hymers will ever become a real man, by learning to take responsibility for his actions—much less develop a close personal relationship with Jesus Christ. I do, however, hold out both of those hopes for young Leslie, and he will remain in my fervent prayers. Please give him my best—but let him know that if he wants to go to law school, he must work on his writing skills and reasoning ability just a bit.

And he ought to learn to behave like a gentleman with respect to older ladies.

I think going after this lady was a very foolish move.

Will Folks and the too high price

I plan this to be my only post on the Will Folks issue:

Folks is finding out what others have discovered. If you want to get attention from the media, and maybe set yourself up for the future, the easiest way is to switch sides against a republican and/or Tea Party Member.

Some things in life however come with too high a price.

Meanwhile Robert Stacy Bottom lines the whole issue in the title of his latest post:

CNN: ‘There Is Nothing in the Correspondence Proving Folks’ Claim That He Had an “Inappropriate Physical Relationship” with Haley’

He is quoting from this CNN story. That’s really all you need to know. But if you want to read all his posts on the subject click here.

Update: Cynthia Yockey sees the same thing I do but is more explicit:

Now, some would say that Folks’ game plan is the same one that was developed and perfected by Democratic nut bloggers in Alaska. That is, upon the clandestine receipt of a handsome sum of money and promises of more if the hit is successful, pretend to be impartial or an ally, profess to all and sundry to be suppressing rumors that had never been rumored, make dark hints, look very knowing, then tell reporters that other reporters will beat them to the story that has been fabricated for the purpose of destroying an enemy until one of them takes the bait and then ALL of them have to cover it.

And to that I would say … um, sounds about right.

I’ll wager that dentist bill would be paid by someone if she was willing to back this guy up, but for Cynthia that price would be too high as well.
