There is a higher standard of conduct for those in power compared to
those that are out of power. A lie from those in power is usually
more harmful than a lie from the disenfranchised. The same with an
exaggeration or an unfounded allegation. The NAACP is not without power. They get plenty of media coverage.
Virtually all their press releases get broad coverage and our
President and Attorney General are of course of African-American
decent. So this is not a group without “power”. The NAACP’s web page states: “Today, NAACP delegates passed a
resolution to condemn extremist elements within the Tea Party, calling
on Tea Party leaders to repudiate those in their ranks who use racist
language in their signs and speeches.
The resolution came after a year of high-profile media coverage of
attendees of Tea Party marches using vial, antagonistic racial slurs &
images.” What did the resolution actually say? We don’t know because it is not
available on the website as of today. What evidence does the NAACP
actually have? We don’t have any idea. Being labeled a “racist” is not quite as horrible as being labeled a
“child molester” but it gets almost the same kind of media play. So in this instance the NAACP got plenty of coverage for their
allegations, without having to show any evidence. This stinks.
