Andrew Breitbart has done it again. This time, he's flimflammed the White House, the NAACP and the traditional news media. I wonder who will be fired and disgraced next.

I don't like the racist images and speech at Tea Party rallies either, but can the NAACP really do anything about it? Probably not. Instead of focusing on that issue, why don't you condemn this recession's destruction of 25% of the Black middle-class?

The NAACP was right to call out the tea party for saying and doing nothing about the bad actors that spew their racism within the tea party movement. Tea party leaders should welcome the NAACP for pointing that out.
