the GOP, they're scared of black folks.

Maybe it's because every time they try to extend a hand to "black folks" they come back with a bloody stump.

I realize this is a stretch, but maybe the candidates have better things to do than address an organization that represents a demographic that votes democrat 90% of the time, no matter the candidate. Furthermore, since 90% of said demographic has already made up its mind on how it will vote, why does the NAACP even waste ITS time having Republicans address them? Surely, they too, could find a better investment of their time.

If it's any consolation, the GOP are also avoiding any KKK forums. And just so there is no misunderstanding, yes, I am equating today's NAACP with today's KKK.

Guess he feels that way because the GOP/Conservatives don't tell blacks what to do, they don't give hand outs, they treat blacks as they would anyone or any race, creed, etc.  Treat them like Christians, not slaves.

Let's see... the most powerful black in our government, Justice Clarence Thomas, is a Republican appointee.  The two Secretaries of State during the Bush Administration were both black, and the current Secretary is a black woman.  If memory serves, Condolezza Rice is 5th in the line of Presidential succession, as was Colin Powell, which is closer to the Oval Office than any Democrat black has ever gotten.

True, the GOP doesn't have nearly enough blacks.  If the party had stronger conservative principles, they'd approach blacks by telling them the same rules apply for blacks as white.  If they'd follow conservatism, they could find success as well.  It won't be easy, and there is still some bigotry out there, but there's no reason why blacks can't take their full place in society.

Unfortunately, the Dems and the MSM live in a world where black Republicans, and especially black conservatives, aren't "real blacks".  And a search for quotes from Julian Bond, who is prominent in the NAACP, would turn up such outrageous bile that there'd be no mystery why Republicans don't want to go to their convention.

When you put the clowns in charge, don't be surprised when a circus breaks out.

The NAACP had a CEO that reached out to President Bush and he was forced to resign, what does that tell you?  The NAACP is an organization in peril, at this time, and the only support they get is from the Democrats.  I'm surprised they can still be a tax exempt organization, with all the political stuff they pull, but that's a subject for another time.

The Republicans have nothing to lose, and little to gain, by not going to address such a hostile organization. They've proven they can win, without their support, and the Democrats know they can't win without them. 

I feel sorry for Blacks since they are soon to be, or may be already, the #2 minority in this country and the Democrats will be going after #1 with a vigor and pushing #2 to the back of the line.  From what I've seen, Hispanics aren't going to go the route of the Blacks and blindly support the Democrats, they'll get something for their votes, which means that blacks will get less.  Where will they be then? 

Never argue with an idiot.  They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

MLK was a Republican, a member of the GOP. He also was a Christian. He also was a believer that the character of a person was paramount, a trait far and above a person's race.

So why would anyone want to be a member of the NAACP, if they believed that race was not a delimiting parameter for prejudice? Does not the name of the NAACP actually tout its racist agenda, the absolute core of its mission? Yes, it does.

Since when does the GOP bar "black folks" (a slur moniker, offensive and rude) from hearing their message at any other venue? Is it only in the racist halls of the NAACP that GOP candidates can engage blacks? Why cannot the GOP address Americans at events and debates open to all races and all colors?

What say ye, NAACP? Care to take bets on whether MLK would be on your member roster if he were with us today? I bet not, at least not until you change the meaning of your acronym to the "National Association for the Advancement of Character and Principles".

Hello, hello? You are so full of it.  Where's the evidence, race-bater?

Bush has more African-Americans in his administration in important positions than Clinton or Kerry did in his campaign!   I love how it's okay to throw whatever stereotypes out there without a shred of evidence; if you're Black and Liberal, that is.

Anyone who says they support the troops but not the mission is a liar. 

Martin should get off the jive talk about Republicans hating blacks, and start concentrating on what Bill Cosby is saying about blacks hating blacks.

He should also be reminded that Republicans don’t kill blacks - blacks do.

Also, it was the Democrats in the South who did the lynching not the Republicans. Just ask Senator Robert Byrd.

Civil rights activist (sic) and NAACP Chairman Julian Bond delivered a blistering partisan speech at Fayetteville State University in North Carolina equating the Republican Party with the Nazi Party and characterizing Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and her predecessor, Colin Powell, as tokens.

In July 2001, Bond said, "[Bush] has selected nominees from the Taliban wing of American politics, appeased the wretched appetites of the extreme right wing, and chosen Cabinet officials whose devotion to the Confederacy is nearly canine in its uncritical affection."

So, Republicans are Nazis, mass murderers and Condi Rice is a Republican slave.

Can't for the life of me understand why nine GOP candidates would pass up this great opportunity to meet the fair-minded rational folks

They sure sound ripe for voting Republican next time!

You've seen the spoof. Now see the spoof of the spoof on YouTube: The Clintpranos: Bada Bong

the NAACP has turned into a far-left liberal extortion organization that often and continuously perpitrates racist dogam and radical discriminatory ideology on it's own members and anyone who dares to disagree with the small elite group of it's "leaders". They constantly deny the authenticity, motivations and sometimes even the sanity of black people who do not submit to it's extreme idiology, as is evidenced by the above screed.
