This week, the NAACP
passed a resolution asking Tea Partiers to repudiate racists in their ranks. So, naturally, Tea Party Express spokesman Mark Williams called the NAACP racist on CNN, and then penned an idiotic racist letter on his blog.
Mark Williams! If that name sounds familiar, it's because he was the distinguished scholar who taught us all that
Muslims worship a "monkey-god". Though he's no longer the chairman of the deep-pocketed, big-spending Tea Party Express, Williams still acts as a spokesman and "public face" for the organization.
On Thursday, in response to the NAACP's pretty tame resolution asking Tea Partiers to be a little less racist, he took to his blog and Tea Party Expressed the opinion that the
real racists, in this situation, are the NAACP. Because they use the word "colored," see.
Sigh.
And that's not all! Williams treated his readers his own little
Tale of the Tub—a letter to President Lincoln from NAACP head Ben Jealous that starts thusly:
We Colored People have taken a vote and decided that we don't cotton to that whole emancipation thing. Freedom means having to work for real, think for ourselves, and take consequences along with the rewards. That is just far too much to ask of us Colored People and we demand that it stop!Is there a word for this? Where one group condemns another group for a behavior, and a member of the condemned group turns around and attempts to repudiate the condemnation
by engaging in the very behavior it was condemned for in the first place?
