Another Example of the Utter Hypocrisy of the Liberal Left

In this post:

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/04/06/black-tea-party-activists-called-traitors/

we find the story of TEA Party members of African American descent. In the story we find the following quote:

----

Black members of the movement say it is not inherently racist, and some question the reported slurs. "You would think — something that offensive — you would think someone got video of it," Bazar, the conservative blogger, said.

"Just because you have one nut case, it doesn't automatically equate that you've got an organization that espouses (racism) as a sane belief," Johnson said.

Hilary Shelton, director of the Washington bureau of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, suggested a bit of caution.

"I'm sure the reason that (black conservatives) are involved is that from an ideological perspective, they agree," said Shelton. "But when those kinds of things happen, it is very important to be careful of the company that you keep."

Let me get this straight -- a black supporter of the limited government espoused by the TEA Party movement is counselled by a leader of the NAACP that they should be "careful of the company they keep" because of allegations that some members of a group of millions have possibly said some rascist things. Of course, there is no proof -- no video or audio of a public display that occurred the day before a momentous vote on an unprecedented health care bill. The events supposedly occurred toward congressmen -- people followed by aides and entourages. There were many opposition people and press present and there is not one video or audio tape in an era when everyone has phones capable of such.

Yet the NAACP supports the actions of a President who spent 20 years listening to the most vile hatred be spewed by Jeremiah Wright -- a man who calls himself a Pastor. His speech shows him to be an avowed anti-semite and hater of most people who are not like him either in color or belief. Yet this same NAACP misses the incredible hypocrisy that refuses to condemn the President for listening for 20 years. This pastor was a father-surrogate and spiritual mentor both organizationally and for his family personally. His comments are readily available on tape, video and print.

So let me get this straight -- a conservative is supposed to run for the hills at the mere whiff of taint by a person somewhere, somehow, with no proof of either action or allegiance possibly saying something that might be offensive for fear of harming their own image by the company they keep. But a liberal is allowed to frolic with people who bathe in hatred, document what they say, disseminate it, push it, and persevere in it for 20 years. They are allowed to be photographed with said person, sup with them, and consult with them. And yet, their affiliation is to be ignored and is considered "just ducky".

Wow. If that image doesn't belong in the dictionary as the definition of "hypocrisy" I don't know what does.

  1. If this ever became viral, you know you would be labeled a racist, don't you?
    I like the sign at a Tea Party Rally; "It doesn't matter what the sign says, you will still call it racism." Obviously directed to the media.
