NAACP Chief Denies Equating GOP, Nazis

As I said in my previous post Last Call for the Left, "The hypocrisy of the left could no longer be swept under the rug." Julian Bond is parsing words to make the case that he never equated Republicans with Nazis. In his version swastikas and not synonymous with Nazis. The simple solution would be to play the tape, but for some reason the speaker and his apologist at the University are unwilling to do so. They want us to take their word for it that he didn't say what people in attendance claim he said.


University backs Julian Bond, but refuses to release tape, transcript

Fayetteville State University in North Carolina has issued a careful statement on the speech by Bond and issued a press release including the NAACP leader's denial of the remarks.

"I didn't say these things I'm alleged to have said," the university quotes Bond as saying. "There is no one in the audience who can say I said them. The reporter from the Fayetteville newspaper did not report I said them. I have denied I said them and refuse to engage in a back and forth about what I did say. This is an irresponsible attack by a right-wing blog – a partisan blog – and these kinds of attacks should be expected and dismissed for what they are."

However, WND has spoken to and corresponded with members of the audience who do assert Bond made the statements. And the university, despite its efforts to dismiss the matter, refuses to release a recording of the full event or even a transcript of Bond's remarks.

Leon Delaine, who describes himself as "African-American," is one of those audience members who contacted WND. He said he and his family walked out on the Bond speech because of the offensive comments.

It must be hard for people on the left to moderate their speech, otherwise these reports would not be cropping up every week or so with the follow up denials by the guilty parties. Loose lips sink ships and the ship of fools that is the American left is taking on water.
