ROTFL, this was a real winner. NAACP is calling foul because Tea party is "too White" in population.
Are they serious? Do they really want to say an organization which seeks to restore and preserve American heritage is populated by nothing but Whites? I wonder what sort of message that sends for organizations like La Raza and Black Panther, NAACP.
There is alot of hypocrisy, and NONE of it is coming from the Tea party.
1). I've observed no racism at Tea party events in Indiana. I've observed the exact opposite. I think the NAACP is playing a very dangerous came of 'cry wolf'. And they need to be very careful about crying it, after the Black Panther party issued a call to arms to kill white people and they're babies, but also seeking violent confrontation with the Tea party.
I hope the Leadership displays a backbone and doesnt cower.
2). Well, if the Black Panthers are not a part of the NAACP, which is fair. Than suggesting the Tea party apologize and denounce something it's not responsible is a ridiculous notion.
All this talk of equality and crap from the NAACP, perhaps they can apologize for the actions of they're people, or would that be ridiculously unfair to the Racist organization NAACP
3). The Tea Party is NOT responsible for whom supports it, while it speaks volumes, they are not obligated to do anything, nor should they.
4).Dr. David Duke is NOT responsible for the thousands of Tea party supporters who want him to run for the 2012 Presidential Election.
I dont see this as a valid connection, as David Duke did run for office in LA, and won (By 65% of the vote), led a successful political career, and then existed, despite the vile attacks.
He has video on Youtube, titled "David Duke Speaks to the Tea Party." Which addresses the issues over the NAACP but months prior, when the Media first started this attack against the Tea Party.
His desire to run for tbe 2012 Election sparked up a flare across the internet, much of it being supportive in the least, and suggesting Obama is paving the way.
Perhaps this is the reason why the sharks are being baited against the Tea party, a single unified Party, which has the desire to oust both Communist Democrats, and NeoCon Republicans for some Traditional American Conservativism.
Ron Paul, Pat Buchanan, Perhaps even Sarah Palin or Michelle Bachman as VP cannidates.

5). First of all, no one ever complained when the libs called Bush a Chimp - So why is it so Politically Incorrect to do that with Obama? Race? or Race card? This is incredibly hypocrisy at it's finest.
And Im abit confused, if one believes in Evolution, than why is it a bad thing to compare one to a monkey. PC again.
6). There ARE NO JOBS to DEMAND!!!! And the economy, it's falling and that's only by the reports from the media, never it's probably far worse than they are suggesting.
50 years later, and the agenda is still the same, despite having a Black President. I dont get it, I just dont understand how much more they could be fighting for. They get all the jobs, on Affirmative Action alone.
7). Although I did not highlight, I seriously doubt any Tea Party activist is threatening the NAACP. Sounds like another cry wolf, and perhaps some self-victimization <------ I love hearing stories when the "Hate crime" is found to be the reported Victims themselves.

Benjamin Todd Jealous is president and CEO of the NAACP, the nation's largest and oldest civil rights organization.
This week at the NAACP annual convention, we passed over 75 resolutions. They addressed critical issues from education equity, to fixing our broken criminal justice and immigration systems, to our top priority: jobs, jobs, jobs.
One resolution, which was highlighted in my convention speech, created media frenzy: The unanimously passed resolution demanded that the leadership of the Tea Party repudiate its racist elements and make it clear that there is no space in the organization for bigotry.
It is unfortunate that at a time when our nation is reeling in the midst of one of the most devastating downturns in our economy since the Great Depression, the NAACP is compelled to deal with a disturbing, corrosive attack from the Tea Party.
Instead of joining us to repudiate racism, Tea Party leaders have attempted a tit for tat and demanded that we condemn the New Black Panther Party for reported hate speech. It is a false argument. Of course we condemn hate speech from anyone and any organization, including the New Black Panther Party. But that party is a mere flea compared to the influence and size of the Tea Party. And the New Black Panther Party is not a member of the NAACP. What we are asking the Tea Party to eschew is not the racism of some outside organization, but the bigotry within.
After my speech, I was approached by a man named Chris, who asked that his last name not be used. He's a member of both the Tea Party and the NAACP. He thanked me for denouncing the racist elements of a party to which he is loyal. He explained that he felt increasingly uncomfortable within the Tea Party. We want Chris to live in a world where he can feel comfortable in both organizations.
Over 2000 delegates voted. The resolution was proposed by our Missouri State Conference, from the home state of the Council of Conservative Citizens, widely recognized as the linear descendant of the White Citizens Council. Their fealty to racism is not obscured.
Like Stormfront.org, a website founded by former KKK leader Don Black, the Council celebrates its allegiance to and influence in the Tea Party.
The avowed racist David Duke notes that thousands of Tea Party activists have urged him to run for president. When the Tea Party marches by, Duke thinks it's his fiesta.
Our members know too well the pain and the potential danger of white supremacist groups. Since our resolution was publicized, a number of our branches and our corporate offices are reporting violent threats.
We have all seen the blatantly racist signs portraying President Obama as a monkey. We have seen the press conference with the civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis describing how he was spit on and called the N-word, or Rep. Barney Frank being called a vicious slur for gay men.
Dick Armey and other Tea Party leaders have not only refused to disavow the racism -- they have denied it.
With increased influence comes increased responsibility. It is long past time for Dick Armey and the Tea Party leadership to take a stance. Instead, they remain silent while many of the group's leaders are attacking the NAACP, calling a historically multiracial, anti-racist organization "racist." We are receiving death threats and other threats of violence for asking them to rout the violent, racist factions in their midst.
The NAACP is working hard to move our nation forward. We have joined with almost 200 other organizations representing people of all races, creeds and faiths to form a movement to pull America back together and put America back to work. "One Nation Working Together" is the antithesis to the bitter polarization being bred by the Tea Party and its ilk. It represents a clarion call to unity, to come together as a country.
On October 2 we will gather in Washington in a march for jobs, to demand a fair economy that works for all. We will embrace hope and possibility -- not hate.
As Americans seeking peace, harmony, and goodwill, we have too much at stake to be derailed by the rancor of racism. It's been said that "Evil flourishes with the silence of good men."
It is time for all people of goodwill -- and especially the leadership of the Tea Party -- to break the silence and make it clear that this type of vile bigotry is antithetical to the moral ethos of our nation.
