Vick Pleads Guilty

A few weeks back, I posted a story about the NAACP defending Michael Vick. Some of the comments indicated that my premise, that the NAACP was mistaken to defend Vick and that their actions were hypocritical, was not on target.

So with Vick agreeing to cop a plea today, my question is - was it worth it for the NAACP to defend Michael Vick? Was it smart for the preeminent civil rights organization to throw their weight behind a man who allegedly strangled, drowned and electrocuted animals?
