Michelle Obama Rouses NAACP Before Vote Condemning 'Racist' Elements of Tea Party
First Lady Michelle Obama brought renewed energy to the NAACP today, delivering the keynote speech at the annual convention one day before the nation's largest civil rights group is expected to condemn what it calls racist elements in the Tea Party movement.
The nation's largest and oldest civil rights organization will vote on the resolution Tuesday during its annual convention in Kansas City, Mo.
In her speech, the first lady focused on the issue of childhood obesity and her "Let's Move" initiative, but outside of her remarks, anti-Tea Party activism has been a key focus of the gathering, which conservative leaders say is driven solely by a political agenda.
Tea Party members have used "racial epithets," have verbally abused black members of Congress and threatened them, and protestors have engaged in "explicitly racist behavior" and "displayed signs and posters intended to degrade people of color generally and President Barack Obama specifically," according to the proposed resolution.
"We're deeply concerned about elements that are trying to move the country back, trying to reverse progress that we've made," NAACP spokeswoman Leila McDowell told ABC News. "We are asking that the law-abiding members of the Tea Party repudiate those racist elements, that they recognize the historic and present racist elements that are within the Tea Party movement."
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in coordination with 170 other groups, including labor unions, is planning a protest march in Washington, D.C., Oct. 10 as the next step in building momentum against the Tea Party.
The "One Nation" march is designed as an antithesis to the Tea Party, and it's about "pulling America together and back to work," McDowell said.

Only days from us hearing about the New Black Panther leader declaring he hates all white people and saying all white babies should be killed, along with every white person.....the first lady Michele Obama chooses to call the Tea Party racist! Really????
I think it's clear we have racists in the Whitehouse, by what they comment on and what they avoid speaking of. I guess the DOJ throwing out the case of those two black men who stood in front of a voting place and yelled racial slurs to white people, while dressed in military garb and holding clubs is OK...must of been for it to be thrown out of court!
I guess the New Black Panthers speaking of killing white people and white babies is OK...because we haven't heard a peep from the White House over that!
But King Obama has declared there WILL BE an investigation over the trail of a white cop killing a black man at a Bart Station! That was a very fast reaction by Obama to something involving something related to a black victim. But, I doubt it would have been even noticed had the cop been black and the victim white.
Very, very clear....what our president and his first lady think of the white people of this country. VERY CLEAR!

Speaking of naivete, you just posted a video that was entirely spun and made up.
It's already been proven the individuals your video hi-lighted were planted actors sent by your party to disrupt and paint people who are fed up with the gov't as foolish.
The only ones made to look foolish are the fools who push these make believe videos as if its the truth
