NAACP took a page from the CNN playbook and chose not to invite Gary Johnson to speak, even though he wrote a very respectful letter asking to be included. The irony is Johnson is the only candidate promising to end the most violent, destructive, RACIST policy since slavery: THE DRUG WAR.
Good job NAACP, you just whiffed at an opportunity to show the rest of the establishment how to lead by example. But no, booing Romney and applauding Obama/Biden is much more safe and comfy. Yeah, that.
