NAACP report claims 'links' between some Tea Party factions and racist groups

The NAACP issued a report today on Tea Party Nationalism that raises concerns about alleged links between some Tea Party Factions and "acknowledged racist hate groups" but is careful not to indict the entire movement.

Read the full report here.

"We know the majority of Tea Party supporters are sincere, principled people of goodwill," NAACP president Ben Jealous says in a foreword to the report.

But, he says, the study "exposes links" between "certain Tea Party factions" and acknowledged racist groups. "These links should give all patriotic Americans pause," he says.

The full report itself argues that some Tea Party groups "have given platform to anti-Semites, racists and bigots" and have attracted recruiters from some white nationalist organizations.

"The Tea Party movement has unleashed a still inchoate political movement who are in their numerical majority, angry middle-class white people who believe their country, their nation, has been taken from them," the report says.

It says that only the Freedomworks Tea Party, which has headquarters in Washington, D.C., "has made an explicit attempt to narrow the focus of the movement as a whole to fiscal issues -- an effort that has largely failed, as this report documents."

In July, the NAACP convention passed a resolution calling on Tea Party groups to repudiate any racism in their ranks.

"The resolution kicked off a heated rhetorical battle between the NAACP and the movement, which insists it is not racist," CBS news notes.

Why doesn't the NAACP get rid of their RACIST ways(beliefs)

Why doesn't LaRaza get rid of their RACIST ways and intent(beliefs)

Why is it, that it boils down to the WHITES? COME on,you know exactly that is what they refer to.

Like no one else, in this world, can inherit this trait.

I see Spitzer made it to CNN. Last night he too was putting down the Tea Party over economic issues. Along with Dana Loesch during their interview.

Dana Loesch is the Editor-in-Chief of Big Journalism and hosts her own daily radio show, The Dana Show: The Conservative Alternative on KFTK 97.1 FM

that is why the NAACP is thankful Devin Burghart, Leonard Zeskind and the Institute for Research & Education on Human Rights prepared this report that exposes the links between certain Tea Party factions and acknowledged racist hate groups in the United States.

Three months ago in Kansas City, the NAACP first raised charges of racism within the tea party movement. Today a report is being released accusing tea party groups of providing platforms to anti-Semites and other bigots.

“These groups and individuals are out there, and we ignore them at our own peril,â€
