America loves a winner!
Quote: February 9, 2014 Thomas Lifson Call the irony police! The North Carolina State Conference of the NAACP is holding a rally to protest that state's new voter identification law, but participants are being advised to bring photo identification. Aurelius of Pundit Press discovered the advisory and comments: In a flier entitled "Important Dos and Don'ts for Marchers!!!," the NAACP state at the top that all protesters conduct themselves "in accordance with the historic custom of the Civil Rights Movement." They should also listen to their "marshals at all times" and follow the "Dos" and "Don'ts" underneath the opening paragraph. Some of the Dos are sensible for any rally, such as, "look out for the elderly and the young" and "wear a hat and very comfortable shoes" (emphasis theirs). Then there are ones that are common sense that you wouldn't expect to have to tell people, such as "DO NOT intimidate, threaten, ostracize or degrade anyone," and do not threaten commuters. In the middle of the list, however, is a drastically ironic "Do." To go to the rally, you are asked to have "photo identification (driver's license, passport or other valid photo id) with you and keep it on your person at all times ." Remember, this is a protest against needing a photo ID to take part in a fundamental responsibility of Americans... but to go to that protest, you are supposed to have an ID. http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2014/02/ids_required_to_attend_naacp_rally_to_protest_voter_id_requirements.html#ixzz2srzypjDt

Quote:Conservative website raises stir over ID check at Holder event Conservative websites were abuzz Tuesday after one suggested it was ironic that the NAACP requested reporters covering a speech by Attorney General Eric Holder bring two forms of identification, a common practice at major events. The conservative website Townhall.com pointed to an NAACP press release, which it said requested reporters bring a government-issued photo identification as well as a credential from their organization when checking in, which is not unusual at that type of event. "What did media need in order to attend? That's right, government issued photo identification (and a second form of identification, too!), something both Holder and the NAACP stand firmly against when it comes to voting," a post to the website read. "Ironically, NAACP President Ben Jealous railed against voter ID just before Holder took the stage," the post continued, adding a quote from Jealous' remarks.

Quote:Originally posted by Geezer: I can understand the suggestion to bring I.D. to a march that includes civil disobedience, where you might get arrested (as noted in the first link), but you have to admit being asked to bring I.D. to an anti-I.D. rally is kind'a ironic.

Actual thought has no part in their delusional diatribes. How is it a " non story " ? Why slay the messenger when the story is 100% accurate ? The 'reich' was Left wing, if anything, so you fail there too.

Quote: “The reduction in the number of days allowed for early voting is particularly important because early voting plays a major role in Obama’s ground game.” http://www.wnd.com/2013/08/north-carolina-embraces-honest-elections/#dpCiW0WS7v0xABt8.99
Quote: “Voter ID, which is gonna allow Governor Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania, done.”
Quote:“I think it is a fair argument of some liberals that there are some people who emphasize the voter ID part more than the absentee ballot part because supposedly Republicans like absentee ballots more and they don’t want to restrict that.” http://talkingpointsmemo.com/muckraker/john-fund-sure-republicans-focus-on-voter-id-for-political-reasons
Quote:Former Florida GOP leaders say voter suppression was reason they pushed new election law Former GOP chair, governor say voter fraud wasn’t a concern, but reducing Democratic votes was. A new Florida law that contributed to long voter lines and caused some to abandon voting altogether was intentionally designed by Florida GOP staff and consultants to inhibit Democratic voters, former GOP officials and current GOP consultants have told The Palm Beach Post. “The Republican Party, the strategists, the consultants, they firmly believe that early voting is bad for Republican Party candidates,” Greer told The Post. “It’s done for one reason and one reason only. … ‘We’ve got to cut down on early voting because early voting is not good for us,’ ” Greer said he was told by those staffers and consultants. “They never came in to see me and tell me we had a (voter) fraud issue,” Greer said. “It’s all a marketing ploy.” Wayne Bertsch, who handles local and legislative races for Republicans, said he knew targeting Democrats was the goal. Another GOP consultant, who did not want to be named, also confirmed that influential consultants to the Republican Party of Florida were intent on beating back Democratic turnout in early voting after 2008. (Former Governor Charlie) Crist said party leaders approached him during his 2007-2011 gubernatorial term about changing early voting, in an effort to suppress Democrat turnout. GOP consultant who asked to remain anonymous out of fear of retribution said black voters were a concern. “I know that the cutting out of the Sunday before Election Day was one of their targets only because that’s a big day when the black churches organize themselves,” he said. more at http://www.palmbeachpost.com/news/news/state-regional-govt-politics/early-voting-curbs-called-power-play/nTFDy/

C'mon, Niki, even YOU have to admit this is pretty damn hi-larious. There is a difference: A voter with no ID will be dragged out of the polling booth by the North Carolina Police. NAACP will not shoot voters with no picture ID. Nothing about this is "hi-larious".

Quote:Originally posted by MAL4PREZ: Guess what - you dumb fuckers went right back to engaging the troll mode again, and the site continues to spiral into uselessness. I prefer mocking uselessness to the usual kind, so I will continue to mock freely whenever I happen to pass by this site. Which isn't often lately. Long live the trolls! If cutting into their obvious stupidity is the only thing RWED has to offer, have at it, I say. It's probably the only thing keeping this tired site alive these days.
