Tunku Varadarajan dismisses the NAACP in the Daily Beast, while defending the Tea Party. While his arguments are persuasive to those on the center-right, they will be dismissed outright by those on the left.

People “know” what they know, and by that I mean they know what they feel, and it is very difficult to change someone’s mind once it is made up. The NAACP knows this as well as anyone, and that is why it has issued a resolution attempting to pronounce the Tea Party as “racist.” They are attempting to define the Tea Party and discredit their ideas.
