      When one is attacking an organization that still is fighting to make sure its members have equal rights one is shown to be full of hate. Tucker do loving caring people a favor and learn to shut up your hate and grow a conscience.

      Tucker, I don't work for the Democratic party. I post on MMFA because I want to. I don't think the NAACP is discredited, but I can see how homophobic, covert racist like you might think it is. It doesn't say anything nice about you, so, it has to be discredited. You're working for Faux after being fired by how many cable networks? How's your credibility?

      FOX is totally discredited, some would say pathetic. Some would say fraudulent. Some would call it a threat to the very existence of our Republic.

      I'm beginning to think that we're nearing the point where the NAACP is past its time. While it's not the same organization that it used to be (nor is the state of race relations what it used to be), to say that they've been totally discredited and pathetic, is... well, ignorant.

        "I'm beginning to think that we're nearing the point where the NAACP is past its time."

        I used to think that until Barack Obama was elected President. The bigotry. The racism. It's all back! Healthy as it was in the 1950's!

        The NAACP has got a whole lot of work to do.

        And P.S. Tucker Carlson's opinions are irrelevant. He's a punk with an inflated sense of self importance. He knows nothing of the civil rights movement. He has never volunteered for any job that would threaten his privileged little bubble.

          True.
          I'm glad, however, to see that he's stopped affecting the bow tie. Now I can go back to bragging about being one of the few, the happy few, left who knows how to tie one.

        Oddly enough, most wing nuts think calling her a man is hilarious. They clearly have no sense of humor, just ad hominem attacks.

      Tucker did not deny what the NAACP says and continues to say...there are racist elements within the Teaparty movement.That was illustrated quite blatantly by Mark Williams.Why doesn't he address that instead of prtending there is no credibility in the NAACP or the racism charges.Some teaparty paticipants make no bones about being racist in interviews and with signs they proudly display...how many are there?Why aren't they purged or called out by teaparty members?No one has ever said that everyone in the Teaparty is racist.If the NAACP used the same standards as Fox News and the Obama critics, they would make a stronger "guilt by association" charge than they have so far!

      Still upset about the NAACP telling the truth about some of the tea party members being racists huh, Tuckie? There's not much that can be rebutted when Glenda marks a white supremacist group as a favorite on a social networking site, or when StormFront urges its members to attend tea party events, so you attack the NAACP like you and yours attacked ACORN.

      This is another example of the republicans not having a platform. They offer nothing. Even Chuck Hagel calls them out on Think Progress for offering nothing except NO! and having no well thought out ideas/policies to offer to voters. He also points out the fact that the "crazies" have taken over the party and hopes that the part will eventually find its way back to sanity. I say they won't if they discover that crazy = votes.

        This is part of the trial run for 2012. They are attacking the NAACP as well as the DOJ becaus ethese are the entities that will investigate any voting irregularities. They are thinking about stealing elections and if they play their cards right they can say "the NAACP and the DOJ are just full of racist Blacks that are the ones REALLY trying to steal the election". I hope I'm wrong but everything they do has a reason, not very well diguised but purposeful nontheless.

          And it may work. They got rid of Acorn, which they'd been trying to do for years. The problem with Acorn is that it was effective, in 2004, in getting some 200,000 previously "caged" and intimidated poor minority voters registered. There is now a void to be filled, or Republicans will be able to disenfranchise poor and minorities in significant numbers again.
          If the NAACP looks like it's going to take on that task, the white right will try to destroy them, too.

      This open attack on the NAACP is a way of normalizing hatred of blacks. My racist family members have always attacked the NAACP, but only with other racist hatemongers present. Now, Fox Lies and the republican party are doing all they can to plainly state hatred of blacks; they are simply careful to make their hatred seem reasonable. So they say,"I'm not attacking ALL blacks!" when attacking the largest, most successful black rights organization. Normalizing attacks on black people and organizations is 24/7 on the hate-right-media-complex. As is the attempt to make "muslim" the equivalent of the word "n!gger".

      It's easy for Carlson to gripe that the Tea Party isn't racist - who the hell knows what it is, anyway? Two respondents to a report in the NYT today stated that they were surprised that the Tea Party was associated with the abolition of Social Security and Medicare. In the so-called Tea Party, the left hand can disavow what the right hand is doing, because nobody in it is doing anything except barking, really. They have no official policy, no organization, no plan or platform. They are a blank slate of rage unleashed by well-placed funding, which has acted for two years to sabotage a legitimately elected government. And this from people who have the gall to claim their roots in a rebellion against taxation without representation. They are a balcony overlooking an abyss.

      Thanks for the newsflash, Bowtie.

      Targets:

      1. ACORN - Eliminated.
      2. NAACP - In progress.

      What other organizations that help poor black people find places to live or fight for their civil rights do you want to take down? UNCF?

      Come on... Just say it. You hate the poor... And especially poor blacks.
