How that “tea party racism” meme working out for ya?

Apparently not all that well for Think Progress for example from Conservative Generation at Left Coast Rebel:

The claims of racism in the Tea Party movement are so overblown and unsubstantiated that the best Think Progress could do to prove racism was post a video of four supposed racist Tea Partiers. Right Klik has found that of those four, two of them were not even in the Tea Parties.

Scroll down for the updates they are priceless meanwhile Confederate Yankee piles on:

Did you not think we’d remember the amusing signs your fellow liberals created for their little abortive “Crash the Tea Party” stunt in Boston? Let’s just say that some were more amusing than others, and some just showed pathetic and angry progressives often are.

There is an old saying that you’re entitled to your own opinions, but not your own facts.

At Think Progress, they’re ready to make up the “facts,” yet again.

Update: Oh, Think Progress… did you really think you’d get away with it?

As a matter of fact they did, this is a religion to the left and they act accordingly.

And congratulations for their first memeorandum thread

Meanwhile over at the NAACP land of open debate a slight shift in tone:

NAACP President Ben Jealous said Thursday that the resolution passed by the group on Wednesday does not call the tea party “racist.”

The resolution the NAACP approved Wednesday at its annual conference in Kansas City, Mo., alleges that the tea party has used racial epithets against President Barack Obama and has verbally and physically abused African-American members of Congress.

A portion of the resolution does indeed characterize the behavior as “racist,” but Jealous said Thursday during an interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that the resolution was not intended to condemn the entire movement as such.

“We aren’t saying that the tea party is racist,” Jealous said. “What we’re saying is that with their increasing power comes an increasing responsibility to act responsibly … and to call out when they see those things on those signs.”

Oh no not at all funny how things were reported in those olden days of yesterday

Unfortunately for Jealous, that is not what was reported on their awful resolution.
The KC Star reported:

The resolution, scheduled for a vote as early as Tuesday by delegates attending the annual NAACP convention in Kansas City, calls upon “all people of good will to repudiate the racism of the Tea Parties, and to stand in opposition to its drive to push our country back to the pre-civil rights era.”

Jealous better start getting his facts straight. You can’t have it both ways, Ben.

For the record… The former civil rights group does not even have the courage to post their resolution online.

It was interesting to note that yesterday they were making the Washington accusation and today they were not, at least not on Morning Joe

Why is this not working out because they don’t want to see stories like this:

Black tea partiers rebut NAACP

Can’t be having that, once people realize that there are black conservatives out there running that the media ignores, the game is over.

Morning Joe brings on the Head of NAACP

I wasn’t up for the 6 a.m. hour so I don’t know if they will have anyone to challenge him, particularly since he is lying through his teeth on Washington. Nobody is likely to bring up Ken Gladney either or Breitbart’s $100,000 challenge.

Lets see if I’m wrong.

He’s on now, will they challenge him on the “racism” charge?

Joe is quoting Tim Scott! BAZINGA!

They are saying the Bush Hitler stuff was “outliers”? Was Michael Moore an outlier?

Update: Very significant Jealous didn’t repeat the Washington lie that he said on Larry King

It will be interesting to see if this is an oversight or a paradigm shift.

NAACP head still maintaining on air that Washington happened…

…Benjamin Todd Jealous makes the charge on Larry King live. Teaparty365 member David Webb points out the 100k challenge and lack of evidence, and head of NAACP plays the John Lewis wouldn’t lie card.

Who are you going to believe a ton of video evidence (or lack thereof) from hundreds of recording devices there or one guy with a vested interest in bullshitting?

He challenges Jealous directly to condemn King Shamier Shabbaz. He says the New Black Panther party should condemn him and claims that “he has done that here”.

Will update further on this

Update:
Nancy Giles again says Washington Happened Dana Loesch calls her a liar and callers her out on it, Giles keeps maintaining it. Ben Stein says the tea party will hurt the GOP (totally wrong) and Stephanie Miller goes on about signs and guns. Some serious BS going on here.

Miller and Giles are now saying Johnston is lying now and say it on the show, amazing supposedly he is lying for the money now but wasn’t for the money then? What a couple of loons.

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.
