Word = Bond, Bond's Word = Hateful Slander, Therefore Bond = Hateful Slanderizer....

One of my purposes of making this blog was to leave Editors alone from my constant LTE's ( Letters to the Editor). My apologies to Joshua Gross, but I had to respond to the comments made by NAACP chair Julian Bond. Below is a Worldnet Daily article: NAACP chairman compares GOP to Nazis Bond delivers blistering partisan speech in North Carolina Posted: February 2, 20061:00 p.m. Eastern © 2006 WorldNetDaily.com 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. Calling President Bush a liar, Bond told the audience at the historically black institution that this White House's lies are more serious than the lies of his predecessor's because Clinton's lies didn't kill people. "We now find ourselves refighting old battles we thought we had already won," he said. "We have to fight discrimination whenever it raises its ugly head." 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 and 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." Now, I have never seen a Nazi or Rebel flag at a GOP event, and Sam Alito and John Roberts didn't appear to be Islamic militants , unless being Catholic is the same thing now. As far as the "tokens" comment , Bond should have just gone all the way and used the N-bomb. Is it any surprise why the IRS is considering revoking the NAACP's tax-exempt status? Like most National Organizations, the higher up you get, the more schewed the group becomes. I've spoken at local NAACP events, and they mostly are just local church groups coming together to help each other. At the top level, all the NAACP is out to do is discredit the GOP, elect Democrats, and fund their organization. This mess that Bond has spewed needs to be called what it is - slander. I'd like to see him apologize, or if he doesn't, other A-A leaders to ask him to apologize. Don't count on it.
