The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable, and so, if he is romantic, he tries to change it. And even if he is not romantic personally he is apt to spread discontent among those who are. ~ H.L. Mencken
Where's the media? Where were the news cameras? You would think that black conservatives holding a press conference announcing their support of the white raciest grassroots Tea Party movement would get a lot of media attention. Especially on the heels of the NAACP calling the Tea Party racist. Must be a busy news cycle, after all, they need to run the "Linsey Lohan is going to rehab" story before this.

Get your facts straight Cicero, before you make a fool of yourself again.
The NAACP didn't call the TeaBaggers "racist"...as you posted.
The NAACP admonished the TeaBaggers for not addressing and denouncing the 'racist element with in the teaparty'. A huge difference. They make the same request from all political parties and most politicians do denounce racism from within when it's in the press. TeaBaggers seem to condone racism by their silence.
The NAACP had better admonish the racist element in their organization as well, so far I haven't heard them do that. The Tea Party threw out the one racist in the Tea Party Express that spewed racist remarks on his blog.

The TeaBagger WAS gone... but he just returned to another TeaBagger Party! (See Below)
The Tea Party Express leader ousted after racially charged remarks about the NAACP is back with a new PAC. Will this complicate the movement’s bid to reboot its image?
Mark Williams, the bomb-throwing conservative talk show host who last month was ousted from the Tea Party movement after a rant against the NAACP that was widely condemned as racist, looks to be back.
The former Tea Party Express chairman is said to be teaming up with two fellow conservative activists to create Citizens for Constitutional Liberty, a new political action committee that plans to support conservative candidates and promote grassroots activism among Tea Partiers.
Rodney Stanhope, who serves as executive director of his county GOP organization, said the new group was born of frustration with the infighting and personal ambition that he believes have hampered the Tea Party movement. “We want to get back to the basics where this all started,” he said. “Educating, advocating and uniting, to promote conservative candidates,” especially at the local level.
On Tuesday, Morello posted a message on the new group’s rudimentary website, in which she detailed conflicts with the leaders of both Tea Party Express and Tea Party Patriots, then wrote: "That is why I have teamed up with Rodney Stanhope and Mark Williams to move past the childish destructive tactics in order to reset this movement back to the unity that was claiming the hearts and minds of America.”

Did the NAACP admonish the Democrat party and Bill Clinton when he eulogized Robert Byrd the former high ranking Klansman? Not only does the Democrat party not admonish Robert Byrd, a President of the United States(Democrat Bill Clinto) justifies his actions during his eulogy, because he only joined the Klan to get elected.
I wouldn't call Senator Byrd a "racist element" of the Democrat Party but racist fixture. But since he's a democrat, I'm sure you and the NAACP will give him a pass since he's on the side of the "good guys". If he was a Tea Party conservative or Republican, he would be getting tared and feather by the black pressure groups.
Just another glaring example of left wing hypocrisy. Selective outrage.
