As if we need any more proof that the DNC, and the left in general, are not living in a world of facts- Howard Dean opens his mouth. The look on Dean’s face when he realizes he has been exposed on national television on the #1 cable news network is priceless:
We highlighted this story on Saturday, July 25th:
From Diggers Realm:
The bloodbath continues along our southern border and now word is coming in that Los Zetas, the highly trained killers formerly with the Gulf Cartel, have crossed into the United States and taken over at least two ranches in the Laredo, Texas area.
DBKP has “discovered several details which we believe are relevant to this story…”.
DBKP has also looked at the change in reporting on this story as now being a “hoax” and how the media didn’t report on previous incidents until weeks after…

Does the NAACP expect the majority of Americans, black or white, to take them seriously after passing a resolution to condemn “extremist elements within the Tea Party”?
There is a common mis-understanding that the Tea Party is a unified party such as the GOP or DNC. The positives: anyone can freely start up their own local chapter and call it their own “Tea Party”. The negative: anyone can freely start up their own local chapter and call it their own “Tea Party”.
There was even a situation in Nevada where there was a group putting forth a candidate up as a “Tea Party” member who was actually working against the Tea Party candidate and/or GOP candidate- a sort of “dummy” candidate hoping to take votes away from the actual conservative who is running. Fortunately that didn’t quite work out.
Because any one person or group could start a group and carry the banner, “Tea Party”, there could be people who abuse that freedom. There would be nothing from stopping a KKK member from putting up signs to join his/her “Tea Party” chapter and then show up with racist material and signs. But I guarantee that if that group were to show up at a rally they would be asked to leave and/or shunned- no doubt.
Just the same, anyone could start their own fake “Tea Party” group, make up racist material, show up to a rally with the hopes that the media will pick it up to show on the evening news. This has even been encouraged by groups on the left. Of course, the question would be, if we are such racists, why would you have to create a racist event for the cameras? (Some people have more time on their hands then they need. Get a hobby for crying out loud!)
From day one there has been a steady stream of media trying to paint anyone who disagrees, and speaks out, against the current administration as being racist. It’s not a matter of finding the evidence of the mainstream media’s ongoing rant against the Tea Party movement, it’s finding evidence that the media isn’t pushing the anti-Tea Party agenda. There seems to be little interest in reporting fact based news anymore.
They make charges, but can’t back it up. When in doubt, they can post the photo of the one idiot with a sign in a crowd of 200,000- and then label the crowd racist. This is an old trick- I believe the name Sal Alinsky comes to mind.
I take a challenge to the NAACP: I would bet there are more African-American members at Tea Parties across the country then there are white people at NAACP meetings- who are members. African-Americans are not only attending Tea Parties, but they are leading them and speaking at the events. With a name like National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, they are being quite bold to point the finger. Maybe they need to get the log out of their eye.
The Tea Party movement isn’t about the “advancement” of any one group- its about the advancement of more individual freedom for all people through smaller, transparent, fiscally responsible government. The Tea Party is diverse- but unlike the NAACP, they judge people by the content of character, not the color of their skin pigment. I believe the Tea Party is living out the words of Martin Luther King, Jr. even more clearly then groups such as the NAACP. Maybe the Tea Party should take on the name NAAACP- National Association for the Advancement of All People.
The NAACP have become hypocrites. With all the problems facing “their own” communities, they choose to condemn the Tea Party, yet turn their head to actual racist groups such as the New Black Panther party. Their ignorance to the openly vile racism and hate of the New Black Panther party is puzzling. The NAACP resolution against the Tea Party almost seems like a way to take attention off real racism. The media has largely ignored the New Black Panther story. But the “Tea Party is racist” mantra is right in stride with the mainstream media.
Pacific Grove, CA
There something rather ironic about NAACP president Benjamin Jealous. Here is a man, born to a black mother and white father, who grew up in Pacific Grove- the wealthy coastal town in Monterey County, California. Neighboring towns Pebble Beach, Monterey, and Carmel-by-the-Sea attract some of the richest of the rich.
The same people who were neighbors to Jealous have become the same people who the NAACP demonize as “the oppressors”. The percentage of African-Americans in Pacific Grove- less then 1%.
Upon being appointed president of the NAACP, Jealous was living in in Alameda, California- a city where the median family income was between $86,516 and $94,555 as of 2008. Alameda is a place known for wine, theater, and its hometown hero and winner of America’s Cup, the Golden Gate Yacht Club.
Why do I bring this up? Actually, I applaud Mr. Jealous for living out a successful life. I also reject the idea that African-Americans, or any other race, must live in a area based on some racial makeup of an area. That is not only pushing forward a segregation-like mentality, but it is un-American. We are the “melting pot”- somehow those on the left want to take the ingredients out of the melting pot and separate them out.
But there seems to be a do as we say, not as we do mentality coming from the NAACP. They condemn the Tea Party for individuals behavior that the Tea Party has rejected time and time again, yet they ignore racist behavior in their own “party”, even ignoring blatant hate from the New Black Panthers.
I am certain that Benjamin Jealous holds Malcom X in high regard. Based on Malcom X’s own words, I’m not sure if the feeling would be mutual. According to Malcom X, there is no room for people like Jealous in the “black movement”:
“If I have a cup of coffee that is too strong for me because it is too black, I weaken it by pouring cream into it. I integrate it with cream. If I keep pouring enough cream in the coffee, pretty soon the entire flavor of the coffee is changed; the very nature of the coffee is changed. If enough cream is poured in, eventually you don’t even know that I had coffee in this cup”
“This is what happened with the March on Washington. The whites didn’t integrate it; they infiltrated it. Whites joined it; they engulfed it; they became so much a part of it, it lost its original flavor. It ceased to be a black march; it ceased to be militant; it ceased to be angry; it ceased to be impatient. In fact, it ceased to be a march.”
Malcom X judged people by the color of their skin. That is why Martin Luther King, Jr.’s ideas won out in the end. King was a man of God. King was not a hypocrite, nor was he in denial. MLK was far from arrogant, and he was not ignorant.
It is time for the NAACP to listen to the words of Martin Luther King, Jr., the Tea Party movement is. Does racism exist? Unfortunately that answer is yes. But to pull the “race card” on an entire movement the way the NAACP did, is making them look like the exact people they were fighting against many years ago.
Verum Serum reported earlier this week how the DNC are using a new website, in propaganda-like style, to connect Republicans to the BP spill. Using the old “Obama Hope” poster style, they feature mock posters starring Republican politicians running for office with tag lines like, “Sharon Angle…Big oil needs more friends in Congress”.
The irony here is that the candidate who received the most money from BP was none other then (drum roll please)…
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA!!
So we took it upon ourselves to create our own poster since they seemed to have a bad memory…
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) are planning to propose a resolution this week. The target of the resolution- the Tea Party movement, of course. The NAACP is “condemning” the Tea Party for having “racist elements”.
While the New Black Panther Party is talking about “killing cracker-babies” and “hating all white people”, the NAACP wants to remind the public that it is really the Tea Party who are racists. Here we go again…
The NAACP, through this resolution, will show that they have dropped to a new level of ignorance, and they prove that they are incredibly out of touch with reality.
The NAACP need to step out of denial and face the facts- the Tea Party has black members. The Tea Party not only has black members, but these black members are also leaders, speakers, and dare I say- they are in touch with common sense.
While the NAACP’s entire existence is based on seeing people, not by their character, but by the color of their skin, the Tea Party sees Americans- based on the content of their character. Wait, didn’t somebody important say something like that? Oh yeah, that was Martin Luther King, Jr.(wink, wink).
The irony behind their charges against the Tea Party is that the there is a group who really does fit 
these charges. This group sees, and judges, people by the color of their skin. They don’t accept a diverse membership to their collective. They believe in segregation- and they are fueled by hate…of white people. The cracker hatin’ New Black Panther Party. It’s almost like the NAACP is trying to get the media to ignore that group right now…hmmm.
Here are some of the NAACP charges:
-Tea party supporters have engaged in “explicitly racist behavior” and “displayed signs and posters intended to degrade people of color generally and President Barack Obama specifically.”
•Tea party activists have used racial epithets, have verbally and physically abused black members of Congress and others, and have been charged with threatening public officials.

DNC, MSM’s Racism Requirement
Their problem: while actual racism exists, those racists do not control the dialogue anymore. They are not taken serious, and they are certainly not in the majority (or even close to that). There was a time when politicians, employers, and even teachers could exhibit racist behaviors without any repercussions. But we live in a time where there is a level of new accountability among people. As a society, racism is not acceptable. Some might even say we have become so sensitive that we blow some situations out of proportion. But that shows the awareness that exists on the issue of racism. We’re not perfect, but we’ve made strides.
If we have come so far, even electing an African-American to the highest office in the land, we should be celebrating…right? Aside from inauguration day, relations seem a bit tense these days. In fact, by watching the evening news in 2010, one could come to the conclusion that we are going backwards in the area of race relations.
Social Justice, Social Divide
The left have have written the book on exploiting racism for votes, and in turn, power gains through votes. Two words that will keep this country from ever achieving racial harmony: “Social Justice”. If you listen to anyone involved in the “social justice” movement, you will quickly realize that there is no end to “social injustice”. In fact, the idea of “social justice” centers on the idea that one group (the oppressor) must pay back another group (the oppressed) for things, in many cases, that happened decades and even centuries ago. It is a bit like taking revenge for something over and over again, generation after generation.
The left, through the idea of “social justice”, requires there to be an oppressor to their oppressed. Without an
oppressor, there is nothing to demonize- to fight against. Progressives rely on an ideological “dragon” to fight so they can get approval on moving policies forward. In a time when the majority of the public is not getting behind the progressive agenda, they need to create a “monster” for their “Knight in shining armor” to slay with his “sword of social justice”- regulation, legislation, and re-distribution of wealth.
Who or what group is a threat to the progressives carrying out their agenda? In other words, who is the “evil dragon attacking the people in the village”? The Tea Party, Glenn Beck, Fox News, Andrew Breitbart, Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, and even the Founding Fathers (to name a few). The progressives can’t fight “their dragons” by debating them on ideas. They have realized that when Americans learn what “change” really means, they lose the debate. So they throw logic and class out the window and do the only thing they know best- create fear, anger, and divide using the thing that know goes right to the gut: racism.
Crying “racism” is like throwing a “political grenade”. With a 24 hour news cycle on the web, a news story, true or not, can live on for years on the web. If the left, using the MSM, can make the Tea Party into racists- at least in a segment of the population, then they feel they have free reign to “slay the beast”. If that means using regulation to shut down cable news programs, talk radio, and blogs – so be it. It is a noble cause in their eyes- this is social justice.
Ironically, these are tactics that were used by racists against Martin Luther King, Jr. and his supporters. They needed to turn MLK into the bad guy. They used fear, mis-information, and lies, to try and silence his message. In the end- the truth stood tall.
As we come up on a mid-term election, with more minorities in powerful positions in business and politics then ever before, including the Commander in Chief, the race baiting has begun- and is in full force. The worst thing you can call someone in the year 2010 is “a racist”. Anyone can step out of the woodwork, make a call to MSNBC and say that “Joe Politician is a racist!”. Then the MSM will take the bait- and they will run with it . By the time “Joe Politician” or “Bob the Talkshow host” is able to prove the allegations against him are wrong, the damage has been done.
In a time when it is painfully obvious that the MSM’s “messiah”, Barack Obama, is seeing his popularity crumble before their eyes, they are working overtime to paint the people who are speaking out against his policies as the worst of the worst- “they’re racists”, “extremists”, or they have “connections to white supremacy groups”. It doesn’t matter if 99.9% of Tea Party members are not racist. Nor will they point out racism within their own ranks. The facts and truth have no meaning in propaganda- and that is exactly what the MSM is taking part in.
The left have a challenge on their hands. They have continuously painted themselves as the “oppressed” through the social justice movement. But now their guy is running the show- their entire team is running the show! The truth be told, if there is anyone who is in the position to be the “oppressors”, it is Barack Obama and gang. The left has a “super majority”- they have been passing wildly unpopular legislation against the will of the public.
Remember, the MSM has already proved that they are committed to sweeping stories under the rug. The MSM have already shown us that they have no interest in reporting news, but rather, promoting the agenda of President Obama and the left. It’s not a matter of “are they doing it”, but rather, how far they are willing to take it.
Like the “Boy who cried Wolf” fable, the left have exploited a very real issue, racism, to an extent that when real racism occurs, the public becomes numb to the cries. There is some irony behind the fact that the DNC, MSM, and left in general, have exhibited traits very similar to racists. They have judged an entire population of people based on stereotypes, trumped up fear and false accusations. The Democratic Party perfected this with the KKK many moons ago (things really do come in circles).
Those who identify with the Tea Party stand for very simple things that are grounded in common sense, and have absolutely nothing to do with race:
• small limited government (when has an overbearing, over powerful, over reaching government ever worked out well for the people in the end?)
• fiscal responsibility (if it’s good for our homes, then it should be good for our government)
• defend the Constitution (more freedom and liberty for We the People- that’s all citizens of all color of the United States).
It’s that simple. And that is exactly why it scares them. The Tea Party movement is so un-concerned with skin color that, dare I say, there are actually African-Americans who attend, lead, and speak at Tea Parties. The left knows that you know this. We live in a world where more people have more access to up to the minute information. We don’t need to rely on the MSM to educate us on the truth. Anyone who actually attends a Tea Party will recognize that it’s not about race. But that doesn’t align with the message they need to propagate.
The Tea Party message of fiscal responsibility, small government, and more freedom is shared by the majority of Americans. This fact is a threat to the those on the left who seek to hold on to, and gain, more power. In the end, progressives realize their message of big government, more regulations, and less individual freedom, won’t jive with majority of Americans (and why would it?).
So they must shuffle the deck of “left wing playing cards” and drop the “race card” on the table. Facts and reality don’t matter. They only need a willing media to ride with the story for a news cycle or two. If the left have cast doubt in the minds of independent voters, as well as new, un-informed voters, they have succeeded.
But we will do everything in our power to restore the truth at every turn, bump in the road, and new day- God Bless!
