Quincy Tea Party Joins with the St. Louis Tea Party Coalition who created this Resolution in Condemning the NAACP decision

Quincy Tea Party Resolution

July 14, 2010

Whereas, the National Coalition for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) was founded to advance the position of minority groups, and

Whereas a hallmark of the NAACP has been to do the important work of identifying and exposing remaining vestiges of racism and discrimination, and

Whereas the NAACP vocally stands against the discriminatory and harmful practice of labeling people with a broad brush, and

Whereas the NAACP decided to launch their 101st National Convention with a resolution condemning the Tea Party movement and labeling millions of their fellow Americans who subscribe to the movement as "racists", and

Whereas the "Tea Party movement" is a label applied to patriotic Americans who have expressed their political free speech in the grand tradition of all that is American, that being the spirited expression of viewpoints in a 100% peaceful manner, and

Whereas, it is a hallmark of America that we settle our disputes civilly and avoid the gutter tactic of attempting to silence opponents by inflammatory name-calling, and

Whereas the very term "racist" has diminished meaning due to its overuse by political partisans including members of the NAACP, and

Whereas, the NAACP had an opportunity to preserve some semblance of legitimacy by standing up for Ken Gladney, the victim of a vicious racist battery conducted by a black avowed communist, even labeling him an "Uncle Tom", but chose instead to use the opportunity to mock the St. Louis Tea Party, and

Whereas, the NAACP has refused to denounce the New Black Panther's call to murder white cops, white Americans and their babies, and

Whereas, the NAACP does its entire membership a grave disservice by hypocritically engaging in the very conduct it purports to oppose,

Now therefore be it resolved that the Quincy Tea Party joins the St. Louis Tea Party to condemn the NAACP for lowering itself to the dishonorable position of a partisan political attack dog organization, and,

Be it further resolved that the Quincy Tea Party joins the St. Louis Tea Party calling on similar organizations to join in unanimous condemnation of this despicable behavior, and

Be it further resolved that we demand that the NAACP withdrawal their bigoted, false and inflammatory resolution against the tea party for any further consideration, and

Be it further resolved that these organizations call on the Internal Revenue Service to evenly apply their standards and consider the tax-exempt status of the NAACP considering the degree to which they are engaging in habitual partisan political behavior.

Adopted unanimously, this day, July 14th, in the year of our Lord, 2010.

A copy of this resolution shall be sent immediately to the NAACP at: washingtonbureau@naacpnet.org

Dave, re-read my post. It says NOTHING about racism. Not one word. I was talking about the TEA party saying on one hand they have no leaders to condemn anything, then turning around and issuing declarations condemning the NAACP.

I don't - not even a LITTLE bit - believe the TEA party is a racist organization. I believe there are SOME that have those thoughts, but I also think they are in a slim minority.

But, as I said, I just don't like that they say, on one hand "We're not set up to issue an organizational statement like that!" and then they turn around a few days later and do EXACTLY that. It steal from their credibility.



And, I might add, that's an issue that hasn't been addressed by any of the TEA supporters (since, apparently, there are no leaders) here.

Do the previous posters believe the charges leveled at the NAACP by the TP?

If you'd like to experience first hand how individuals in the Tea Party police their own, show up at a QTP event as a racist. You'll be the only two there...until you're thrown out on your ass.

.... right into their foot.

From the (shotgun) mouths of G.I. Jane Loesch & Quick Draw McQueen.
“..the Quincy Tea Party joins the St. Louis Tea Party to condemn the NAACP for lowering itself to the dishonorable position of a partisan political attack dog organization”

Well, well, well. Now that the Tea Pea Clowns have established the fact that a “partisan political attack dog organization” occupies a “dishonorable position” in our country and society, a few more words from the Tea Pee Brown Shirts.

From QNO: 7/7/10
From (Sarah Palin) Loesch
[ Loesch is credited with being a co-founder of the St. Louis Tea Party…..
She spoke of the need to win seats in the House and the Senate, but warned big changes wouldn’t come after just one election. Currently there are 255 Democrats and 178 Republicans in the House and 56 Democrats and 41 Republicans in the Senate……
Loesch gave Chris Christie as an example. Christie in November won the election for governor in New Jersey. He became the first Republican in 12 years to win a statewide election…..
“And the fact that we turned Ted Kennedy’s seat into an R is something I’m going to relish for the rest of my life,” Loesch said of Massachusetts…..
“We have changed the narrative in this country,” she said. “Most people are not political nerds like we are. They’ve gotten media consumption. Most people don’t get the full story and that might be the most difficult thing. We have to really change the hearts and minds of the people. We have to battle for those. This is a Paul Revere movement. It’s our responsibility to make sure the people are informed and that they are awake.”]

Dateline Blessing Hospital Emergency Room:
2 rabid Tea Party activists (or anarchists) were treated for gunshots wounds to their feet today, and are in stable physical condition. However, they are currently undergoing intensive psychiatric counseling for delusions of grandeur and a rampant sense of self-importance. The prognosis is not encouraging.

Just so no one thinks I'm taking out of my butt:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EimzRxxZcXU

At 3:00, and around 5:12, radio host and TEA Party.....ummm, well, he denies he's a leader, so, TEA Supporter......declares there are NO leaders of the TEA party.

Plug your ears and "lalalala" when Roland Martin's on the screen (that guy bugs the ever-lovin' crap outta me, too). But it still leaves my original question:

How can there be NO LEADERS to issue a condemnation to the fringe groups, and yet we get these unanimously adopted resolutions against the NAACP?





The TEA movement has proclaimed they don't want to be a political party, but this is political double-speak at it's finest.

So......



They take the time to write up this eloquent condemnation of the NAACP, but when asked about some of the fringe groups glomming on to the TEA movement, then answer is to shrug it off and say "Hey, we can't control who shows up, and we don't want to infringe on free speech!"


Also, since I saw someone on CNN yesterday saying "We can't condemn these groups because there ARE NO LEADERS of the TEA Party!", who drafted THIS condemnation letter?

And somewhere, Jesse Jackson is calling Cleveland owner Dan Gilbert a slave owner when Lebron might be the next billion-dollar athlete after Tiger Woods.
