The NAACP today issued a report detailing "the links between certain Tea Party factions and acknowledged racist hate groups in the United States."
"These links should give all patriotic Americans pause," NAACP president and CEO Benjamin Jealous writes in a forward. Jealous allows that that "the majority of Tea Party supporters are sincere, principled people of good will." He urges "the leadership and members of the Tea Party movement [to] read this report and take additional steps to distance themselves from those Tea Party leaders who espouse racist ideas, advocate violence, or are formally affiliated with white supremacist organizations." These groups and individuals are out there, and we ignore them at our own peril," Jealous said in a statement before the report was released. "They are speaking at tea party events, recruiting at rallies, and in some cases remain in the tea party leadership itself." On a conference call in conjunction with the release, Jealous said "we have no problem with the Tea Party existing." "We do however have a problem when prominent Tea Party members," he continued, "...are allowed to use Tea Party events to recruit people for those white supremacist groups." The report, which CBS News reviewed in advance of its release, is entitled "Tea Party Nationalism," and it looks at the relationships and differences between six Tea Party groups: FreedomWorks Tea Party, 1776 Tea Party, Tea Party Nation, Tea Party Patriots, ResistNet, and Tea Party Express. "In these ranks, an abiding obsession with Barack Obama's birth certificate is often a stand-in for the belief that the first black president of the United States is not a 'real American.' Rather than strict adherence to the Constitution, many Tea Partiers are challenging the provision for birthright citizenship found in the Fourteenth Amendment," write authors Devin Burghart and Leonard Zeskind of the Institute for Research & Education on Human Rights, which produced the report for the NAACP. The authors said research for the report began a year ago when they noticed that the white supremacist group stormfront.org had "started a thread to move into the Tea Party." A document called "The Tea Party: The Racism Within" details some of the findings, including the fact that James von Brunn, the white supremacist who killed a Holocaust Museum guard last year, posted on Tea Partner Express partner websites. What do you Think? Do you Believe Racism is a Problem in the Tea Party Movement? http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/21/us...s/21naacp.html

please. I can just hear Oprah's "hardball" question now. "Sarah how do you deal with the cold climate up there?"
