No, I think Mary Jo experienced the ulimate betrayal by a Kennedy:

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.’”
I also don’t recall NOW getting too upset at Bill for betraying Hillary with ML.
but wait. i thought obama was just as pro-abortion as hillary. is this a little political switcheroo?
May G-d forgive me, but I am truly enjoying these vermin eating each other.
The FemiNazis are all so hystrionic and insincere. They will support the democrats 100000% when the election comes.
Smiling at this turn of events. I love it when the dems hate each other.
Interesting they couldn't even say Barak Obama. Must be closet racists.
This is just too funny. I love it!!
I didn’t know Jim Dean ever quit selling sausage and singing “Big Bad John”. Funny what you learn some days.
Why doesn’t NOW slam Hillary ? She is running on her HUSBAND’S coattails...
She also has put a blind eye to his many rapes and romps.
Ted, the ladies man.
No, I think Mary Jo experienced the ulimate betrayal by a Kennedy:

In other words, liberal women are stupid.
I’d love to she NOW start a third party with Hillary at the top of the ticket.
But when it comes down to it, they will still vote democrat. That’s why they have to pay no attention to them. Just like the dems do with black voters.
Whatever flack he gets, he deserves, even from this very small group of womentypepersons. The feminazis stood by him when he murdered his girlfriend and screwed half the waitresses in D.C. because he was a guaranteed vote for the slaughter of the unborn. May they all go to hell!
I am with you. It IS very, very satisfying. As far as God goes, I doubt he thinks very highly of these ideological hypocrites so I don't think you have anything to worry about on this score.
I think Ted responded back with a suggestion that they take a drive down to the shore to discuss this issue further.
Funny, isn’t it. All this illogical racist stuff they always pull on us, they are now pulling on each other.
Isn’t it amazing that the party that says it is for equality, is always prefering someone over another simply because of their race or sex?
LMAO, dems eating their own, it’s a BEAUTIFUL thing! Some women need to be seen and NOT heard.
NOW is so 1970’s.
Also, didn't notice NOW being upset that Hillary accepted $$$ from the Thai Prostitute King who exploits teenagers [video on Doug_from_Upland thread today].
And, did I miss their protest about ripping babies from their mothers' wombs [abortion]?
NOW vs. SOW. Holy cow!
Panic in Hagville, and I love it.
They’ll all come together like good little Socialists in the general election.
I don’t remember a scathing reaction when he took the life of Mary Jo.
I only hope that Hillary and Obama fight it out all the way through to the democRat convention.
By then Hillary will be openly calling Obama an "uppity n----r" and Obama will be calling Hillary a "bull-dyke b----".
As for NOW, Teddy, Slick and company, to hell with all of them. Can you think of a group that deserves each other more?
Yeah. Those white women seem to think that an African-American should not even be endorsed for the Presidency. How out of synch with the times is that?
The NAACP should not put up with this blatent racism.
Where Jesse Jackson when you need him?
NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE!!!
(Ya know, thinking like a Democrat is kinda fun.)
Can minorities be far behind?
Teddy Kennedy, the single best thing ever to happen to women, turns on them.
Mad ugly women unite!
It’s ironic that this comes right after what Kennedy said, i.e. that Obama would lead us into an era where the politics of dividing us by race and gender would end.
NOW did not blink when Kennedy left Mary Jo Kopechne at the bottom of the ocean to save his political career, but endorsing Obama over Hillary—that’s serious!
As a collection of carpet munchers, NOW will always back the lesbian candidate.
It just keeps getting better and better.
Pass the popcorn.
Well when you play group politics you get screwed sometimes. As a woman I am proud to not be a part of this group of persons.
Wow! The National Organization of Whores is after Ted Kennedy! Politics makes “strange” (or is the term “peculiar” or is it “queer”) bedfellows!
You may be more prophetic than you realise (only they’ll have those famous “surrogates” doing it).
It is rather fun lately watching these lefty folks chew each other up in recent days.
Unfortunately it is spoiled a bit some because there are some on the other side of the spectrum (our side) who are insisting that they will take their ball and go home when their favorite candidate does not get the nomination.
The major problem with each and every one of these NOW gals is simple:
They need to get laid.
It reads just like an Onion or Scrappleface article to me. They can’t be serious? Given how Clinton abused women more than Kennedy did, they are standing by Clinton’s wife and not Ted?
Hi-larious.
What’s up with these broads?
Who the heck cares about NOW? Their era was over 20 years ago. Obama doesn’t need them to win New York.
I still remember at the Clarence Thomas hearings when the NOW hags came to testify. After they had finished their rant, old Strom Thurmond thanked the “lovely ladies” for their testimony. He was just being polite. Lord knows he was just being polite because those broads were anything but lovely. Anyway, they immediately ran out and told reporters that it was a disgrace that Senators were interested in them for their looks and not their brains. As if! LOL!
It's broads like this that give women a bad name.
