" President Bush declined an invitation to speak at the NAACP's annual convention, the group said." :thumbsup:

They shouldn't have attacked him if they wanted him to pander to them. They don't provide much in the way of votes anyways. Bush doesn't seem to mind illegal activist attacks because he's doing favors for his fellow big business buddies with cheap labor. Still, I guess the NAACP gets more "support" by attacking Booosh.

I dislike Bush intensely, however, it still gives me great pleasure to see him decline to speak to the Special Victims Unit.

Yes. I even read an editorial in the New York Daily News applauding his decision. The editorial contained a number of quotes from Julian Bond about how Bush was Hitler, etc. If only we could be so lucky.
It seems blacks, like Jews, fail to grasp the meaning of, "You've gone too far. Even the people who feared you/pandered to you have to call this in."

The NAACP actively promotes Democrat candidates. As with all laws, blacks are mostly exempt. So the NAACP does not need to worry about risking its tax-exempt status or violating campaign finance laws.

If only Bush's non-appearance was due to some principled, irreconcilable disagreement with the NAACP and/or its philosophy. More likely, Bush is just personally upset with Julian Bond and the NAACP for past anti-Bush remarks. He is, after all, a friend to them on many issues, such as affirmative action and Section 8 housing.

He added, "They're getting some new niggers: the Vietnamese!" This was around the time of large numbers of immigrants from Vietnam.
After having pandered to the Negroes all his public life, and getting no reward in terms of black support, Bush has got himself some "new niggers": the "latinos." He spoke to the LULAC confab last week, and in so doing called for more immigration and praised the "contributions" of "hispanics."

Yes, the NAACP isn't as gracious as the text in the cartoon above.

Look at the fat-lipped nig caricatures in that cartoon: It could almost be an A. Wyatt Mann work.....ha.
