NAACP planned a peaceful march to protest the requirement of voter ID laws on Saturday at the "Moral March on Raleigh." Organizers said 20,000 to 30,000 Americans showed up to the protest. Rev. William Barber, president of the state NAACP, stated, "We return to Raleigh with a renewed strength and a renewed sense of urgency. This Moral March inaugurates a fresh year of grassroots empowerment, voter education, litigation and nonviolent direct action."

In a flyer sent out entitled “Important Do’s and Don’ts for Marchers,” some very responsible marching elements were listed for people's safety.
The most ironic recommendation on the list comes half way down, where march coordinators tell recipients:
“DO bring photo identification (driver's license, passport or other valid photo ID) with you and keep it on your persons at all times.”
So, bring a photo ID to an anti-photo ID protest. Perfect. The Associated Press, naturally,buried this revelation (http://www.newsobserver.com/2014/02/08/3601888/annual-march-rally-builds-upon.html) late in its 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.

saw this and thought it was typical of the liberal mindset, do as I say not as I do.
