I did a Google News search about NAACP chairman Julian Bond’s talk at Fayetteville State University, and all I found were the following:
? A News 14 Carolina report that mentioned that Bond “spoke to an audience of mostly college students, a demographic he said is growing within his organization” and “said it’s a positive attitude that lures more young people in.”
? A Fayetteville Observer article that included a phrase that Bond “jabbed at the Bush administration.”
? A Fayetteville Observer article before the speech given the headline “Bond’s words to span racial chasm.”
I’m wondering how these media missed an aspect of the speech that WorldNetDaily and several bloggers are writing about today (emphasis added, apparently because it needs to be):
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.”
“The Republican Party would have the American flag and the swastika flying side by side,” he charged.
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. …
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. …
