Poor Mychal Massie … he doesn’t know when to stop condemning behavior he engages in himself. First, we caught him denouncing Rep. Charles Rangel for saying that “George Bush is our Bull Connor” when Massie himself has a history of making the comparison.
Well, he’s at it again. A new Project 21 press release attacking NAACP chairman Julian Bond for, among other things, likening Republicans to Nazis, saying, “The Republican Party would have the American flag and the swastika flying side by side.” According to the Project 21 press release:
“Julian Bond’s tirades serve only to further reduce the once-great standing of the NAACP in our society,” added Project 21 member Mychal Massie. “Bond’s rank partisanship must call into question the legitimacy of the NAACP’s political neutrality and its charitable tax status.”
Massie’s response would be much less hypocritical if he didn’t have his own history of comparing Democrats to Nazis:
— “So, not unlike Hitler prior to his demise or Saddam Hussein as he fled Kuwait, the liberal special-interest groups have instructed their public personifications to scorch the earth with absolute lies, distortion and a zeitgeist of intimidation and calumny.” — May 24, 2005
— “George Banzhaf and the cigarette/fast-food Nazis complain and litigate against tobacco companies and MacDonald’s [sic] because of alleged health risks. But where is their rancor at the depletion of community resources due to the uncontrolled numbers of anchor babies born here?” — Aug. 2, 2005
Just who, exactly, appointed Mychal Massie anyone’s moral arbiter?
P.S. Let’s not forget conservatives’ long history of comparing liberals and Democrats to Nazis, further upping the hypocrisy factor in criticizing Bond.
UPDATE: WorldNetDaily repeats Massie’s hypocritical Project 21 quote in its Feb. 4 article on reaction to Bond’s statements.
