Playing the race card

As is so often the case, and hypocrisy being what it is, one of our country's most racist organizations - the NAACP - has launched a purely racist attack upon the Tea Party Movement. The claim is that the Tea Parties are racist motivated even though anyone who has witnessed a Tea Party gathering knows it is a hideous lie. These groups are grass roots gatherings with no central or unifying control and have the express concern about the enormous growth of government, the massive deficit, and loss of personal freedom in America. The NAACP like all leftist groups is desperate because of the sad state of America and fear of losing control on congress in the coming election. So what do leftists do when in trouble? They attempt to destroy the opposition and what better way - and one to which they invariably resort? They portray their target as racists or homophobes or whatever works. Although the NAACP can demagogue with the best of them, our train wreck of a President has certainly set the tone by regularly using race as a weapon, although his supporters claimed his Presidency would end the race issue in America. During this same news cycle we read about the scandal involving an Agriculture Department employee, Shirley Sherrod, a Black woman who told an NAACP audience - to applause - how she did not go all out to help a poor Georgia farmer who was threatened with the loss of his farm, because he was white.
