The National Organization for Women’s New York chapter issued a scathing reaction to Sen. Ted Kennedy’s endorsement of Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton. Actually, the word “scathing” feels inadequate here.
Read for yourself:
“Women have just experienced the ultimate betrayal. Senator Kennedy’s endorsement of Hillary Clinton’s opponent in the Democratic presidential primary campaign has really hit women hard. Women have forgiven Kennedy, stuck up for him, stood by him, hushed the fact that he was late in his support of Title IX, the ERA, the Family Leave and Medical Act to name a few. Women have buried their anger that his support for the compromises in No Child Left Behind and the Medicare bogus drug benefit brought us the passage of these flawed bills. We have thanked him for his ardent support of many civil rights bills, BUT women are always waiting in the wings.
“And now the greatest betrayal! We are repaid with his abandonment! He’s picked the new guy over us. He’s joined the list of progressive white men who can’t or won’t handle the prospect of a woman president who is Hillary Clinton (they will of course say they support a woman president, just not “this” one). ‘They’ are Howard Dean and Jim Dean (Yup! That’s Howard’s brother) who run DFA (that’s the group and list from the Dean campaign that we women helped start and grow). They are Alternet, Progressive Democrats of America, democrats.com, Kucinich lovers and all the other groups that take women’s money, say they’ll do feminist and women’s rights issues one of these days, and conveniently forget to mention women and children when they talk about poverty or human needs or America’s future or whatever.
“This latest move by Kennedy, is so telling about the status of and respect for women’s rights, women’s voices, women’s equality, women’s authority and our ability – indeed, our obligation - to promote and earn and deserve and elect, unabashedly, a President that is the first woman after centuries of men who ‘know what’s best for us.’”
A little over the top huh....
“they will of course say they support a woman president, just not “this” one).’ That’s my story, and I’m stickin’ to it!
Oh well, they’re having an attack of mega-diversity! Hard to swallow!
The New York NOW chapter - all three of them?

Well, the liberal media believes those 3 speak for ALL women.
I thought they were all asleep or dead. They haven’t been heard from for so long.
Shut up and fetch me some coffee, bitch.
When I read press releases like this one I'm almost glad they are still around, just for the entertainment factor.
Evil always eats its own... pass me the popcorn, and lets enjoy watching the carions picking the carcas clean.
Someone somewhere suggested that if Obama didn’t receive the nomination that there might be unrest within major urban centers by disgruntled balcks... Could the same be said for NOW? I mean will they instead threaten to burn their bras?
Oh the huge-manatee.

THE SHADOW EMPIRE STRIKES BACK
(Insert Star wars “Emporor’s Theme” Here...)
That has to be a parody. The Freudian hate for Daddy is too blatantly obvious.
Tribe Old Money backed Tribe Black over Tribe Woman. And Tribe Woman isn’t happy about it. What a surprise... ;)
Might be a good idea, from the looks of these nags they never wash.
It’s amazing how much NOW supports Hillary, given that she single handedly killed feminism.
