One of the current whines of the right when reminded that the NAACP was targeted by Bush's IRS in 2004 is that the NAACP produced a TV commercial critical of Bush. Don't believe them or lies you read on here...
Where is it? Why can't they drag it out?
It doesn't exist.
What did happen is that the NAACP distributed a pamphlet at their 2004 national convention, sharply critical of voter disenfranchisement by the Bush administration. Bush's name isn't even invoked in the flyer, however, NAACP President Julian Bond criticized Bush and his administration[url] for their lackluster record on civil rights and asked for Bush's "ouster":
Sounds like free speech to me, huh?
Why do republicans hate free speech?

NAACP Chairman Julian Bond called on members of the nation's largest and oldest civil rights organization to boost voter turnout to help oust President Bush.
During his keynote speech at the group's 95th annual convention Sunday night in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Bond also assailed the Bush administration and the Republican Party, accusing the GOP of "playing the race card in election after election."
The party appeals "to the dark underside of American culture, to the minority of Americans who reject democracy and equality," Bond said. "They preach neutrality and practice racial division."
Many black people are "ready to turn anger into action, to work for regime change here at home," Bond said. "But they have to be asked. They have to be registered, organized and mobilized."
