Come to the anti-voter-ID march, and be sure to bring your photo ID
I’d
say this is one of those stories where the headline requires no further
elaboration, but of course this example of cosmic hypocrisy was
deliberately kept out of the mainstream media headlines. As Tom Blumer of NewsBusters
notes, the Associated Press waited 13 paragraphs to divulge that
participants in the “Moral March” in Raleigh, North Carolina were
instructed to bring photo ID to the event, even though North Carolina’s
voter ID law is one of the things they were protesting. Even then, the
AP didn’t actually report on the march organizers’ hypocrisy; they
reported on a Republican reporting it. This is Paragraph 13 of the
story:Rep. David Lewis, R-Harnett, said Saturday the NAACP was being hypocritical for directing marchers on a document to bring photo identification when it opposes a photo ID requirement for voting. Lewis helped shepherd a voter ID law through the legislature.http://www.humanevents.com/2014/02/10/come-to-the-anti-voter-id-march-and-be-sure-to-bring-your-photo-id/
