Right here in North Carolina:
Civil rights activist and NAACP Chairman Julian Bond delivered a blistering partisan speech at Fayetteville State University in North Carolina last night, equating the Republican Party with the Nazi Party and characterizing Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and her predecessor, Colin Powell, as “tokens.”
“The Republican Party would have the American flag and the swastika flying side by side,” he charged.
[...]
He referred to former Attorney General John Ashcroft as J. Edgar Ashcroft. He compared Bush’s judicial nominees to the Taliban.
The talk so infuriated at least one black family in attendance among the 900 in the auditorium that they got up in walked out in protest.
“He went on and on name calling,” said Lee Wilson. “I walked out in the middle of his speech with my wife and three kids”
The harsh partisan rhetoric from Bond should not have surprised anyone who has followed him in recent years.
In July 2001, Bond said, “[Bush] has selected nominees from the Taliban wing of American politics, appeased the wretched appetites of the extreme right wing, and chosen Cabinet officials whose devotion to the Confederacy is nearly canine in its uncritical affection.”
Gee - and to think there were actually people who raised the roof on the fact that the President didn’t want to meet with the NAACP?
Update 8:31 PM: Well wadda ya know? A quick search of GoogleNews.com using the terms “Julian Bond” and “swastika” as of this writing yields exactly three, count ‘em, three entries with the mention of the swastika reference, and only one of them is from a semi-MSM website: World Net Daily, which is the piece I’ve got quoted in this post. Another search of GoogleNews - this time using the terms “Julian Bond” and “FSU” (where he was speaking) generated two MSM results, and neither of them (here nor here) mentioned the swastika reference.
Let’s give it up for our MSM, ladies and gents! As always, they are complicit in the racism of black Democrats to the point they won’t even report it. I guess it’s become so old hat to hear such comments from racist black Democrats that maybe the mediots don’t even consider it news anymore.

Oh no! Who told Mr. Bond about our secret Republican plan to wave the nazi flag?!?! I was told that we weren’t supposed to mention it until we had subjugated the entire world, and made them slavesd to do our bidding.
Uh, I may have said too much.

WOW. I guess that’s a start.
The left gets people so hating conservatives/Republicans that the name calling and accusations get SOOO hateful and partisan.
This country so needs leaders who resort to this stuff to just be kicked out on their rears.

I do so wish that Dems would read up on history. Especially the Nazi party. It is horrendous to think that any educated person would compare Republicans to Nazis. I don’t see ovens or concentration camps in any part of the United States. Are our prisoners being starved or gang raped by guards?? Gassed to death, buried in mass graves?? Nooooo but how fast do these people use the Nazi label on Reps. It just grows tiresome. Recently I read an article about Black Youth in America, being disrespectful toward everything and everybody. One of the speakers finished giving a speech about how they, Black leadership, need to start celebrating those people who are in important positions, no matter Dem or Rep. She closed her remarks about having a black man on the Supreme court. When she sat down the next speaker said “There is a black man on the Supreme court??”. When will these people learn. Our Founding Fathers had it right. United We Stand. - Lorica

If it walks like a duck(nazi) and quakes like a duck, it’s a duck. Take a look in the mirror. 900 in attendance and 1 walked out, that’s bush’s 2% of black support. Peace

No surprise here Julian Bond has to stir up people; this is the only way he and others like him can stay in their positions as racial pimps. There are weak-minded people out there that will stand up every time he compares Bush to Hitler and yell “Oh Ya “ and give him money to carry on the fight against oppression. Him and others like him could care less about the poor or the blacks they claim to represent they only want the money so they can continue to live the life styles they have gotten use to. And liberal Democrats and some of the MSM also help these race baiters with there venomous speeches of how repressive America is and how conservatives are going to take us back to the Jim Crow laws.

Steve if that were true you would be castrated by now, so that your stupidity couldn’t be passed on. Please think before you speak. - Lorica

I’m not anti-duck in any way. I just want to make that clear.

OK, how about a renewed effort to revoke the NAACP’s tax exempt status?
Comment by peege @ 2/2/2006 - 10:32 pm
And this makes Steve another Republican-hater. Not that it wasn’t obvious before.
You don’t mean “peace” around here. Take your mask off. You are not deceiving us.

The NAACP has been mostly MIA in the African American community for over 20 years. It contributes nothing but rhetoric and has absolutely no relevancy to most Americans of African Ascent whatsoever! If it disolved today, no one in the AA community would notice.
Real solutions require work. Work does not include more marches, sundry church meetings, prayers for relieve issued to an invisible sky god, or symposiums on issues affecting African Americans. We know what the problems were, are, and will be in the furture. It’s time to implement solutions to solve them
Racism, bigotry, and discrimination will probably be a part of the American culture forever. However we (AA’s) are the only people that have been stymied by it. It has affected us to the point that we’re now expericencing an African American cultural implosion.
The reason for the above (IMO) is that our focus has primarily been about what has been done to us. I believe our focus should be on what can we do for each other and how to go about implementing a plan of action to get it done.
All other cultures of color that live in this country face racism and bigotry. They succeed despite that fact and so can we!
In closing, let me add that it’s an unfortunate fact that bigots, assimilated negro sellouts, and closeted white supremacists/religionists find comfort in the repubican party. However all conservatives are not bigots. But it appears that the bigots and religious wingnuts are the ones getting the most attention.
Hetepu~~!!

When I talk about the civil war with some democrats they are amazed by the fact that many of the politicians of the southern states were democrats. Also that the mayor and governor of New York wanted to side with the south to keep the flow of goods and money into their pockets. Both were democrats. They also seem stunned that Lincoln was a republican.
The axiom is true, those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
You also have to wonder why the president of an organization that wants equal treatment and no discrimination does not mind using both to go after people he does not like. Julian would have made a good klan memeber.

Randy, it’s worth recalling that the only known Klansman in the Senate is a Democrat.

I don’ hate. I’m against violence. I’m a religious anarchist. So the rules are easy: 10 Commandments and the Golden Rule. One of those is: Thou shall not kill, no exceptions and no discussion. That means no abortion, no death penalty, and no war. Another is Don’t lie. Stick a fork in bush, he’s busted. Peace
Comment by steve @ 2/3/2006 - 4:44 pm
By that right…so are you steve.
Comment by sanity @ 2/3/2006 - 5:29 pm
I’m a religious anarchist.
No, sorry. Combined, they are self-cancelling; “religious” denotes belief in a system of faith: a set of rules that one accepts in ordering their life. An “anarchist” rejects accepting any imposed system of order or control.
You’re just another run-of-the-mill, illiterate idiot who tries playing semantical games by flashing an strained oxymoronic phrase to avoid saying anything worthwhile, in the process making your existence proof of God’s sense of humor.
PS, stevey-poo: if you’re gonna try using that “walks like a duck” crap, learn how to friggin’ spell the sound they make next time you wheel it out in print.
I got yer “peace” right here, skippy.

TC@Leather, such an angry Christian, you are. I gave you the 11 rules and they are self-imposed, so try again skippy. Peace

He’s got your number steve. I hope you’re young, as ignorant nihilism is really ugly on an old guy.

Following those eleven rules would just make you a Christian, Steve. You have to NOT follow them to be an anarchist.
Comment by blogagog @ 2/3/2006 - 10:05 pm
steve, you’ve demonstrated your hate here too many times to count. Also, your 11 rules aren’t that of a Christian. Christ only asked 1 thing, to accept him as your Saviour, period. That is what it takes to be a Christian. Not blood sacrifices, nor money, nor good works as all are but filthy rags before God.
Comment by PCD @ 2/4/2006 - 10:27 am
Not surprised by Julians’ statements at all. More ashamed that he would publically diminish the organization that purports to be soooo inclusive.
As a member of the NAACP and the MA GOP I proudly uphold the principals (tenants) of both and they have very interesting crossroads that support the very thing that the Democrats claim to be, but aren’t (also grew up in Chicag circa Daley).
The NAACP has, is and more than likely will continue to stay so out of touch to the young members of society, especially if they cannot drop the look at what we did attitude. They need to imbrace both parties equally (like the Urban League) and show how the accomplishments they have achieved are relevant to todays young.
While I will not revoke my membership in either organization, I will however look to new leaders with a more open viewpoint at both to throw support and votes behind.
