Julian Bond

 

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.

 

 

" 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. "

 

He referred to former Attorney General John Ashcroft

as J. Edgar Ashcroft. He compared Bush's judicial

nominees to the Taliban.

 

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 "

 

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. "
