NAACP chairman compares GOP to Nazis

What happened to the Martin Luther Kings of the world that promoted peace and unity? Here is the latest comment from the leader of NAACP:

Quote:

"The Republican Party would have the American flag and the swastika flying side by side," he charged.

What if a Republican leaning group stated the same thing about the Democrat party?

Quote:

He referred to former Attorney General John Ashcroft as J. Edgar Ashcroft. He compared Bush's judicial nominees to the Taliban.

The talk so infuriated at least one black family in attendance among the 900 in the auditorium that they got up and walked out in protest.

"He went on and on name calling," said Lee Wilson. "I walked out in the middle of his speech with my wife and three kids"

The harsh partisan rhetoric from Bond should not have surprised anyone who has followed him in recent years.

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."

He even forced a black family to walk out. Martin Luther King and other great black leaders lived under much tougher times and never resorted to this kind of hate speech.

Hate will never bring this country together. I just read a story about a seventh grader who wrote an essay about Killing President Bush. He obviously learned this hatred from his parents. It is a shame that people can hate anyone this much.
