NAACP Chairman: Tea Party ‘took our playbook’

The Washington Post reports:

Roslyn M. Brock is chairman of the board for the NAACP and no fan of the Tea Party. But at a town hall meeting at Howard University this week, she gave them some props.

“They took our playbook,” she said, “went door to door and educated their constituents.”

The Tea Partiers didn’t get caught up in hope and change advanced by President Obama that they didn’t believe in. Wrongheaded as they may be, they worked on their own game.

Now, they’re a force to be reckoned with.

An establishment figure drops the astroturf-Koch brothers mantra.
