"NAACP Is A Joke"

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

Although President Obama condemned the Internal Revenue Service for singling out conservative groups in the months leading up to the 2012 election, former NAACP Chairman Julian Bond called the organization's actions "completely legitimate." And it was that sentiment that set conservative radio host Glenn Beck off, calling the entire organization a "joke" and an "affront" to what former black civil rights leaders stood for.

"They are a joke, and an affront to everything that Martin Luther King and anybody who ever... Booker T. Washington, Frederick Douglass, you are an affront to their memory," Beck said.

While discussing the IRS scandal, Beck hurled insults at the Obama administration and the NAACP, saying the White House was concentrating on revenge and that the century-old African-American organization was illegitimate.

Beck went on to try to drive his point home with an even stranger defense, asserting that 20 percent of lynchings performed by the Ku Klux Klan were of white people--a point he apparently "hates to keep bringing up." He then went on to compare those white people who were lynched to members of the Tea Party.

"You know what, I contend the white people that were lynched are exactly the kind of people that would be in the Tea Party today," he said.

Beck's sentiments have us scratching our heads a bit, but then again what else is new? From calling the president a girl, to saying African American is not a race we can't say we're all that surprised by his latest rant.

One of the few times I sorta agree with Glenn Beck .....
I think the NAACP is a great group historically speaking...but in many cases today they are hypocritical (as are many groups) on a bunch of issues...it boggles the mind...





















I saw Julian Bond on MSNBC I think the other day, and when asked about W. doing a similar thing to the NAACP because of a speech he had in 2003 against the Iraq War.....he basically said there was no empathy from or similarities between these Tea Party groups and the NAACP......instead he said they were racists and Taliban-lite for criticizing......even though he got the same treatment for criticizing......
