Good grief, I wouldve had more respect for the National Organization for Women (not a high bar) had they just said nothing. Via Caroline May at The Daily Caller:
In the wake of Bill Mahers tasteless slur against Sarah Palin Friday night, in which he called the former Alaska governor a tw@t, the National Organization for Woman (NOW) has not only denounced the use of such sexist words, but also issued a warning to conservatives who they believe are attempting to use the issue to discredit their organization: We are on to you, right-wingers.
Listen, supposedly progressive men (ok, and women, too): Cut the crap! Stop degrading women with whom you disagree and/or dont like by using female body terms or other gender-associated slurs, Lisa Bennett, NOW communications director wrote in a statement.
Youre trying to take up our time getting us to defend your friend Sarah Palin. If you keep us busy defending her, we have less time to defend womens bodies from the onslaught of reproductive rights attacks and other threats to our freedom, safety, livelihood, etc, wrote Bennett. Sorry, but we cant defend Palin or even Hillary Clinton from every sexist insult hurled at them in the media. That task would be impossible, and it would consume us. You know this would not be a productive way to fight for womens equal rights, which is why you want us stuck in this morass.
Did you speak up once on behalf of a woman politician before you learned the name Sarah Palin? Did you work toward equality for women in any way prior to August 2008? wrote Bennett.....

Mission accomplished.
The VERY LAST organization i’d want to see defend Sarah is NOW! They LOST ALL CREDIBILITY when they went into hiding concerning Slick Willie’s assaults on women and his high profile Presidential philandering.
our=out
How sad that they think they’re relevant.
Yep, if it was a republican president they would have thrown a tantrum over the way Clinton treated women as a used Kleenex. But no, Gloria Steinem defended Clinton with her “one free grope” defense. And just wrap your heads around what they would be saying if Glenn Beck called Hilary a dumb twat.
NOW threw Hillary under the bus and endorsed Obama for prez in 2008. NOW follows the money trail as long it veers left.
What a joke...NOW never spoke on behalf of Juanita Broddrick
Baloney. Not "cant" defend Palin, but "wont"
“Did you work toward equality for women in any way prior to August 2008?
Does the name Katherine Harris ring a bell?
So their mission statement is “Abortion is a civil right”?
The only good Democrat is a former Democrat.
I am being kind by using the word former.
The big question is, are we going to let Sarah deal with this alone, or are we going to speak up for her? Where are our legislators condemning NOW's response, and Mahar's comment to begin with? Where are our letters to HBO decrying the ridiculing? There should be tens of thousands of them. I'm writing one - will you?
IIRC, he dated Ann Coulter for a while. Is she a f** hag?
