......a bunch of Kerry/Edwards bumperstickers on cars belonging to US military personnel.

I have not really seen any political advertising over here in Germany, its just an accepted rule that its not done. It is however allowed.

I do not want to come across as being prejudiced, but all of the cars belonged to black people.

I just happened to ask one of them where all the Kerry stickers came from, and he told me the European Chapter of the NAACP had them and was giving them out..........now ain't that a kick in the pants. Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad

I don't understand why African Americans are so easily duped by the left?

I know no Republicans that the liberals paint them to be these KKK lynch mob types.

I've actually known some Democrats that were very racist, but then again they had their own issues too.

The democrats have African Americans in their pockets and use voter suppression as a whip to keep them in line. How does anyone not say to themselves, "hey i can think for myself. why do people make the choices for me?"

Must be a bit of an oddity in Germany, maybe a whole being a small group away from home. My husband's enlisted 18+ active duty years and a majority of the soldiers that he has spoken of over the years....as being conservative family value oriented people seem to have been his fellow NCOs who happen to be African American. I've also noticed that these men and women seem to have a real heart to give back to and participate in their home communities....must be very difficult sometimes considering the historical way the military and republicans have been portrayed (reference horrible commerical Sean Hannity talked about I'll spare the details here...). Just judging from comments I've heard, the majority of the African Americans that my husband works with (and was deployed with) are voting BUSH.

I manage a website for a mostly black church here in Florida. While there isn't any official endorsment I definately get the impression the church will vote Bush en masse.

The only thing I'm aware of the Bishop saying officially to the congregation however is "know why your voting the way you are."

Sen. Byrd (D - WV) used the "n" word on national TV a couple years ago. Nobody said a word. Trent Lott (R - MS) went to Strom Thurmond's 100th b'day party and told him he would've made a good president. Suddenly, there's a huge outcry and Lott is forced to step down. What is wrong with people??? It's insane. Everytime the Dems want to bring down a Republican (or free OJ), they just play the race card. Mad

More than a 'kick in the pants', it's a violation of Federal law:

Quote:

The NAACP is incorporated under Section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code, which shields nonprofit organizations from paying taxes as long as they neither endorse nor oppose a candidate for office. The tax code exists to prevent tax-exempt dollars from being used for political purposes. Plainly, the NAACP is using tax dollars for just that purpose.
