Hypocrisy Alert: NAACP Declines To Condemn Left-Wing Racist Attacks On Justice Thomas

When conservatives call Obama a Socialist, they’re raaaaaacist.

When they say, “kill the bill”, they’re raaaaaacist.

When they oppose Obama’s policies, they’re raaaaacist.

The NAACP is quick to play the race card when it means defending a left-wing agenda.

In fact, they partnered with Think Progress and Media Matters and New Left Media to launch teapartytracker.org, a website  that publishes and monitors what they consider  “racism and other forms of extremism within the Tea Party movement.”

But after lefty moonbats at a Soros-funded anti-Koch rally made unambiguously racist comments like; someone should “string up”  Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, or “send him back into the fields” or “cut off all his toes and feed them to him,” ….what do you know?  The race card was nowhere to be found.

The Daily Caller asked NAACP spokesman Hilary Shelton for comment on those crystal clear cases of racism,  and got this lukewarm reply.

“Last summer, the NAACP passed a resolution calling for a civil political discourse,” Shelton said in an e-mail to TheDC. “We continue to call on all Americans to abandon vitriolic language. It serves as a distraction from the real issues our society need to address and distorts the challenges we as Americans have to confront to make our nation greater still.”

Shelton would not, however, address the content of the video directly.

You know what? When I say that Obama is destroying the country, that’s vitriol, and based on a valid opinion, like it or not.

When someone says a black man should be “strung up” or “sent back to the fields”, that’s not just vitriol, it’s clear-cut racism. When someone expresses the desire to cut off his toes and feed them to him one by one, that’s not just vitriol, it’s moonbatshit crazy.

And all of this – the racist vitriol, the hate-speech, the violence tinged rhetoric, and most of all, the rank hypocrisy, is what we have come to expect from the left.
