Julian Bond - Moonbat

Well, I knew he was a nut, but honestly, this surprised me:

Civil rights activist and NAACP Chairman Julian Bond delivered a blistering partisan speech at Fayetteville State University in North Carolina last night, equating the Republican Party with the Nazi Party and characterizing Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and her predecessor, Colin Powell, as "tokens."

Yes, Mr. Bond, unless the black folks stay on the Socialist plantation, they ain't really black folks, are they? More bile:

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

That statement pretty much speaks for itself.

Calling President Bush a liar, Bond told the audience at the historically black institution that this White House's lies are more serious than the lies of his predecessor's because Clinton's lies didn't kill people.

First of all, Bush didn't lie. Secondly, people die in war, Mr. Bond. Perhaps you think we shouldn't have fought for our freedom in the Revolutionary War, or WWI and WWII because "people died." Do these people ever even attempt to back up their stupid statements?

"We now find ourselves refighting old battles we thought we had already won," he said. "We have to fight discrimination whenever it raises its ugly head."

Yes, you poor little thing. Notice he doesn't come up with any examples.

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

Isn't he clever?

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"

Good for you, sir. Too bad many of the others in the audience didn't do the same thing.

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."

The "Taliban wing." The "wretched appetites of the extreme right wing." What a charmer this guy is. He's as batty as Cindy Sheehan.
