New York (CNSNews.com) - A featured performer at a National Organization for Women rally accused President Bush of having "savagely raped " women "over and over" by allegedly stealing the 2000 presidential election.
Poet Molly Birnbaum read aloud to a crowd of feminists gathered in New York's Central Park on Wednesday night, as part of a NOW event dubbed "Code Red: Stop the Bush Agenda Rally."
"Imagine a way to erase that night four years ago when you (President Bush) savagely raped every pandemic woman over and over with each vote you got, a thrust with each state you stole," Birnbaum said from the podium. (If something is pandemic, it affects many people or a number of countries.)
"A smack with each bill you passed, a tear with each right you took until you left me disenfranchised with hands shackled and voice restrained. Thanks for that night, Mr. President, I can barely remember my tomorrows," Birnbaum said to applause.
Birnbaum's reading was followed by a performance by Gina Young, described as a singer of "feminist folk punk." Young's song included the following verse about Bush:
"I got better grades than you, you stupid boy W. Your dad was a killer, too, and you know that nobody voted for you," Young sang as the crowd erupted in applause.
"I object not just to this war, but to all of the things that you stand for, like dropping bombs to lower the price of gas. I guess the Constitution is just some piece of scrap paper you use to wipe you're a**, you bastard," Young sang to more applause.
Another poet, Stacey Ann Chin, declared from the podium that men have no right to tell women not to have an abortion.
Men will not decide "if I am allowed to eject something from my womb. Be it rape or error, it has always been my right, always been my body to do with as I choose," Chin screamed to cheers.
Chin said she wants her message to be so powerful that Bush will cower in fear.
"I want to be that voice that makes George Bush so scared he hires two butch black bodyguards. I want to write the poem that the New York Times will not print because it might start some kind of black or lesbian or even a white revolution," Chin said.
'People bought the lies'
Kim Gandy, NOW's president, warned that her daughters are going to live very different lives if George Bush is reelected.
"In the next four years, he could do so much damage to the environment, to civil rights and civil liberties, to reproductive rights, to our anti-discrimination laws," Gandy said in an interview with CNSNews.com.
"The world that they (her daughters) grow up in will be totally different if we don't win this election," Gandy added.
A Bush victory in November would mean that "people bought the lies" of the Bush administration, Gandy said. "I hope that people will wake up and pay attention and not just believe everything they see on television, but I know there is a danger there," she added.
"Bulls*** about no sex'
Donna Lieberman, executive director of the New York Civil Liberties Union, condemned the Bush administration for its policies toward women.
"You can't be for women if you are not for women's rights," Lieberman said.
Lieberman also took a shot at abstinence-based sex education, declaring her support for "real sex education, not this bulls*** about no sex." The crowd roared its approval.
"We are not some fringe lunatics, we are the people. We are the mainstream of America," she added.
The crowd carried signs reading, "Keep your politics out of my vagina," "The religious right is neither," "I don't want a president who believes that I am going to hell," "Keep your God out of my government, keep your laws off my body," and "War is not pro-life."
Earlier in the rally, U.S. Rep. Major Owens, a New York Democrat, warned a crowd of feminist protesters that the Bush administration is taking America "into a snake pit of fascism."
Owens also said the Bush administration "spits on democracy" and is leading the country down a path reminiscent of "Nazi Germany."

...a rat is a dog is a pig is a feminist (with profound apologies to rats, dogs and pigs)...
These women are so pathetic. They are delusional and don't know what they are talking about. It explains all the more the success of Zell Miller's speech last night.
Oooohhhhhh no you're not. You don't even know where the mainstream is. You are definitely lunatics, and even "fringier" than I'd previously imagined.
Normal people are NOT LIKE YOU AT ALL...
"I want to write the poem that the New York Times will not print because it might start some kind of black or lesbian or even a white revolution," Chin said.
Just keep being yourself, lady, you'll get what you want...
I don't think there is a man in history that has freed more woman than W.
What exemplifies freedom more, these nuts worry about "ejecting something" from their womb (what a disgusting thought!) or millions of women in Afghanistan now being allowed to leave their houses and go to work/school or whatever else they want to do?
There's no comparison. NBC ran a special one night late during the Olympics about the woman athelete from Afghanistan. She trained in the same stadium where, before W, woman were being shot in the head for talking to a man.
God bless GWB.

It is the poor use of a word that, in the main, means infectious spread.
She is using the word to mean to mean all or everywhere. She claims to be speaking for all women.
She does not speak for me. She gets an "F" in my book for this. (And for using "pandemic" as though it appeared on her Word-for-the-Day calendar.)
A man who treats women with great respect is called a "rapist" by this crowd and a man who treats them like dirt is worshiped as a god... No wonder they have become irrelevant

I think I understand what is meant by free speech. I think I understand that some things can be said if a person is a public figure. But hasn't this gone over the line to slander? Also singing a song and using the words that is used as libelous? I would think that at some point these people would have to be taken to account for what they have said about another person, regardless of who it is.
Too bad Molly's mom was not pro-choice!
***We are the mainstream of America***
Yeah, if you have to keep reminding people that you're mainstream, you're not. Sorry.
This is what liberals are like when they don't have to hide who they really are. Someone should forward this to Rush at rush@eib.net. He'll have a field day with it!
Don't worry Kim.
They will have the right to deny you grandchildren, Hag!
Why are all the socialist women protesting Bush fugly?
Maybe if they increased their self esteem and became empowered rather than look for other fuglies to sit around and condemn the President with, their lives would be better.
It seems to me that the 100k+ self loathing vermin that have descended on NY this week should have chipped in a few bucks each and hired Tony Robbins to help them set some goals and feel better abouth themselves.
