NAACP MOVES TO MAKE ITSELF EVEN LESS CREDIBLE…

In a move that I’m sure must have left at least a few scratching their heads, earlier this week the NAACP took what I would say was an unusual step and one likely to further reduce what credibility it may still possess as an organization whose primary purpose was once to promote racial equality. And in choosing to demonstrate that it has become nothing more than a mere shadow of its former self, and in the process nothing more than a front group for the Democrat Party, the Los Angeles chapter of this once venerable organization made its selection of its "Person of the Year."

As you all know, or should know unless you’ve been living under a rock, it was the Los Angeles chapter that withdrew its lifetime achievement award intended for embattled LA Clippers owner Donald Sterling last month. So as it set out on a quest for a suitable replacement it evidently had little luck in finding someone who would actually be worthy of the award. So with very few options available to it, it was forced to settle for, of all people, Al ‘Bull Horn’ Sharpton as its ‘new’ "Person of the Year." This bogus award was given to ‘Bull Horn’ on Thursday evening, in Sterling's absence.

In his acceptance speech old ‘Bull Horn’ wasted little time in taking a jab at Sterling, saying to those in the audience, "Sterling may be rich but he’s not as rich as the history of this organization." Well that might be a bit of an exaggeration, especially if we’re going to be including this organization’s more recent foray into Democrat Party politics. And while the group may have chose to distance itself from Sterling after a recently released recording of his using racial language, there’s no arguing that old Al ‘Bull Horn’ Sharpton has his own history of racial controversy.

I’m sure most will remember ‘Bull Horn’s’ involvement in any number of racially tainted incidents over the years including the making of false accusations in the racially charged Tawana Brawley case, the inciting of anti-Jewish mobs in New York in the early 1990s, or fanning racial outrage in the Trayvon Marin case. So it strikes me that if this group was truly interested in what it claims to be interested in, the last person that they would have seen as worthy of being their "Person of the Year" would have been Al. Such a selection only serves to demean all the previous winners of the award.

THE JOKE THAT THE NAACP HAS BECOME...

Well ya know, it would seem to me that the National Association for the Abortion of Colored People (NAACP) becomes just a little bit more of a joke with each passing day. It would also seem that those in charge long ago made the conscious decision to alter the group's mission to one less about civil rights and much more about leftist political advocacy. These days it operates like most other front groups that operate under the umbrella of the Democrat Party. It also, some time ago, demonstrated that it's very comfortable with throwing black folks under the bus in exchange for being able to maintain a seat at the DNC table. The bad thing, at least for those very same black folks, is that they still haven't yet figured that out.

Anyway, the most recent example that makes very obvious the decline that this once venerable organization continues to experience, was demonstrated by the calls that came from its Missouri chapter demanding that a federal investigation be launched into the rodeo clown who donned a Barry "Almighty" mask at the state fair last week. It was then a Texas Republican congressman, acting as the voice of reason, who stated that such calls are both misguided and blatantly hypocritical. U.S. Rep. Steve Stockman, who has since invited the clown who wore the mask to perform in Texas, said the request for probes into the incident by the Justice Department and Secret Service are "silly" and should be ignored. I have to agree!

Stockman went on to say, "A rodeo clown is really a nominal thing and it hurt no one." Adding, "They didn’t speak out when George Bush was being portrayed as a murderer. To become relevant again, they need to become more of an honest broker and not have contrived anger." Stockman said the NAACP would better serve its constituents by focusing on ways to decrease unemployment among the black community. But to focus on such things, there must first be in interest in such things. He also noted that the national civil rights group was silent after a July incident on a Florida bus where three black teens beat a fellow white student. We shouldn't be surprised, that's the way this group operates nowadays.

"It’s really patently false that they’re angry at this, but not angry at other issues," Stockman continued. "There has to be some consistency." And while Stockman did say that he thinks it’s unlikely federal officials will investigate the matter, with a racist like Holder running the Justice Department, and another racist in the Oval Office, one can never be too sure about such things.. And he made the point saying, "We can’t get the Justice Department to look at Benghazi, so it would be ironic that the Justice Department would investigate a clown." Going on to say, "They should focus on their member’s needs rather than theatrics." Still, the rodeo clown has been widely condemned for his supposed off-color act.

And then it was on Wednesday that yet another brilliant White House spokesmoron, this time it was Josh Earnest, said the rodeo clown incident was "not one of the finer moments" for The Show-Me State. "I haven’t heard about the president’s reaction or if he had one," Earnest told reporters. "I can tell you as a native Missourian, it was certainly not one of the finer moments for our state and not the way I like to see our state depicted in the news." Big freakin deal. And if Barry was anywhere near being an adult, he would have come out publically right away and said, come on folks, let's not take ourselves too seriously, here. But I think we can all agree that that this punk ain't gonna being doing anything like that.

Stockman said widespread reports of Saturday’s bull riding event at the Missouri State Fair in Sedalia was an example of what he calls "pop news," or silly distractions that take us away from serious issues facing the country. And Barry, I'm sure, is just loving this, because it takes attention away from yet another one of his costly vacations, and his rather idiotic blunder regarding his inept handling of the events in Egypt. But still, the clown has been permanently banned from future state fair events and, as stupid as this sounds, subsequent performers must now undergo sensitivity training. Messages seeking comment from Justice Department and NAACP officials were not immediately returned Thursday.

And to be perfectly honest here, I was really kinda shocked to hear Jehmu Greene, a Fox News contributor and a supposed Democrat strategist, in demonstrating what was one her rare moments of sanity and of actually being fairly lucid, say that she actually agreed with Stockman’s take that the call for a federal probe was unwarranted. It’s far from the first time a sitting commander-in-chief has been mocked, she said. "Absolutely it is misguided," she said during an appearance on Fox News. "The NAACP has jumped the shark on this one." Usually this nut is all for investigating any incident no matter how racially insignificant. But she may yet change her mind.

So anyway, it's pretty sad, but this is where the NAACP is at today. And it kinda makes you wonder if the majority of blacks see it the same way, or if they even care anymore. Whenever I see any of these supposed NAACP 'leaders', and I use the term rather loosely, strutting around in their $3000 suits, I can't help but wonder what it is that your average black guy sees. Does he really see someone who's on his side and out there fighting for him? Because that certainly isn't what's taking place. Oh, these race baiters say all the right things, I suppose, but it's a whole different story when they get behind closed doors. It's then that they become willing accomplices in making sure that the Democrats maintain the dependency class that's so crucial to they're being able to win elections.

AND THE NAACP BECOMES EVEN MORE OF A JOKE...

All of this imbecilic faux outrage over the death of some supposedly innocent little 17 year old is absolutely nauseating. The attempts are still ongoing to convince us that this 'kid' was doing nothing more than walking along minding his own business and was profiled, stalked and then attacked, by George Zimmerman, a White-Hispanic, for no other reason than because he was black. And now we're made to contend with these resulting demonstrations that are really nothing more than a pathetic display of ignorance, and ginned up by the race baiters always on the prowl for ways to 'boost' their image.

And now a couple of lefty groups, the NAACP and MoveOn.org, unhappy with the verdict have teamed up and are busy circulating some sort of cockamamie petition. And when you stop and think about it, is really rather ironic, since both of these groups are, oddly enough, pro-abortion. Ironic because this stupid little petition invokes what is being referred to as the "right to life" as it calls on the U.S. Justice Department to take action against George Zimmerman, acquitted of a murder charge over the death of Trayvon Martin. It would seem that the definition of "right to life" is somewhat fluid.

Anyway, as stated in this petition, "The most fundamental of civil rights, the right to life, was violated the night George Zimmerman stalked and then took the life of Trayvon Martin," claims this petition. Stalked? It goes on to say, "We ask that the Department of Justice file civil rights charges against Mr. Zimmerman for this egregious violation." It's claimed that more than 250,000 people, real and/or imagined, had signed their stupid little petition by Monday afternoon. But as we know whenever dealing with those on the left, there is always a tendency to exaggerate the level of support for any of their causes.

Now while I will admit that the NAACP does not take a formal position for or against abortion, it did, in May, join a lawsuit against the state of Arizona, which enacted a ban on race and gender-based abortions. The NAACP is also reportedly suing Ryan Bomberger, an African-American and chief of The Radiance Foundation, a pro-life group. Bomberger has been critical of the NAACP, founded as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Bomberger parodied the group with billboards that said the "National Association for the Abortion of Colored People."

So hypocrisy can be said to abound here and is made all the more obvious by NAACP president, and head bigot, Ben Jealous, saying in an e-mail to MoveOn.org head John Neumann sent at 1:43 a.m. Sunday that the NAACP would be 'joining forces' with MoveOn.org in requesting that the Justice Department take civil rights legal action against Zimmermann, 29, for shooting and killing Martin. Zimmermann said he acted in self-defense. And whether these clowns like it or not, a jury of his peers came to the same conclusion that that was the case. That's the way our justice system works.

The petition also says, "The Department of Justice has closely monitored the State of Florida’s prosecution of the case against George Zimmerman in the Trayvon Martin murder since it began. Today, with the acquittal of George Zimmerman, it is time for the Department of Justice to act. The most fundamental of civil rights—the right to life—was violated the night George Zimmerman stalked and then took the life of Trayvon Martin." The petition continues, "We ask that the Department of Justice file civil rights charges against Mr. Zimmerman for this egregious violation."

I am curious, though, to know the position of this organization, which claims to stand for the right to life, when it comes to the "right to life" of the many blacks who die everyday at the hands of their fellow blacks. Are not their lives just as important as that of Martin's. And yet, where's the outrage there? Or is that because the many black who die everyday essentially die at the hands of Democrats. Because, after all, it's Democrats who are in charge of our dilapidated cities where most of these deaths occur, is it not? So that's sufficient for the death of one thug to become more important than all the rest?
