On CBS' "Face the Nation," NAACP President Ben Jealous faced off against David Webb of the National Tea Party Federation. Webb said Mark Williams, the former chairman and spokesman of Tea Party Express who came under fire last week for writing a satirical letter in which he called slavery a "great gig," and his group had been expelled from the National Tea Party Federation. Webb blasted the NAACP's "selective condemnation of racism," which he attributed to "fringe elements" within the tea party, and called on Jealous to denounce members of the New Black Panther Party for saying they want to "kill cracker babies."
"We absolutely denounce the New Black Panther Party," Jealous said, adding that the NBPP is a very small organization. "But they aren't in our group. These folks are in your groups."
Webb and Jealous agreed to make joint appearances to discuss race relations and other issues.
"We absolutely denounce the New Black Panther Party," Jealous said, adding that the NBPP is a very small organization. "But they aren't in our group. These folks are in your groups."

What do they forget exactly?"Slanderous" was the word used by Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, to describe the NAACP's resolution on NBC's "Meet the Press."
"I think it's slanderous to suggest the vast movement of citizens who have gotten off the couch and showed up at town hall meetings and tea party events, somehow to smear them with this label, there's just no basis for it," Cornyn said.
Vice President Joe Biden said on ABC's "This Week" that the tea party "is not a racist organization,"
How is it one post you understood and the next you didnt?

You dont get to tell other posters what to post.
Now tell me why did the right defend this guy right up until the TP kicked them out?
Tell me why the response by the right to defend this ASSHOLE RACIST mostly included bullshit about "well look at what the NBP's did?"
I'm not a Tea Party member but when they first began their movement I could see how the other side wanted to dismiss them and conveniently label them as racist rednecks.
At the time, I said pretty much the same thing Senator Cornyn said:
"I think it's slanderous to suggest the vast movement of citizens who have gotten off the couch and showed up at town hall meetings and tea party events, somehow to smear them with this label, there's just no basis for it,"
Now, I applaud The Tea Party for officially denouncing the racist rhetoric and I thank Pilgrim for his fair minded posts on this subject.
If certain posters here want to excuse the racists and still call themselves Tea Partiers it is only a reflection of those individual posters, not the TP.
The movement has grown large enough where we are starting to have to kick members with certain mindsets out of their leadership positions.
For all those who think teapartiers accept racism I implore you to read the article

They only denounced them after being called out for their hypocrisy.
