Patricia Ireland: Conservatives Made YWCA Fire Me

Everyone seems to agree that conservatives are responsible for the firing of pro-abortion activist Patricia Ireland as head of YWCA of the U.S.A. after only six months.

YWCA (which used to stand for Young Women's Christian Association until the "C" word became a no-no) asked for her resignation, the New York Times reported today. She refused because she did not want to give the impression she had "jumped ship."

"I was uncharacteristically speechless," Ireland said. "There had been no notice."

A former head of the Democrat group that calls itself National Organization for Women, she says right-wingers opposed her from the start because of her left-wing activism, because she admitted wanting to inject her politics into YWCA and because she lived with a woman in the 1990s while still married.

Andrea Lafferty, executive director of Traditional Values Coalition, which posted an online petition to have Ireland fired, said her organization was responsible for the ouster.

"Patricia knows why she was terminated," said Audrey Peeples, head of YWCA's national coordinating board.

[Judith Anne]

Hilarious! Wonderful! Good news. ;-D

Patricia Ireland, I am happy to see you be fired. You foul everything you touch.

Uh... yeah, that's right, actually (since when do these demogogues admit their true nature?!).

It was your anti-Christian philosophy that got you canned Patty me dear.

[Renfield]

Maybe we can get her fired from her next job!

TVC likes to take credit for everything. I suspect this had more to do with the fact that Ms. Ireland presided over nothing but losses in influence, budgets, and membership during her N.O.W. tenure. She's not particularly accomplished by any measure. It was a major blunder of a hiring decision, and someone at the Y should pay a price for that.

CRYBABY PAT!!

Dear Patricia,

Try to keep this in context. Think of it as an abortion. The YWCA exercised its 'choice'. What goes around, comes around.

Affectionately,

Now she's free to head up the OWLA.

(Old Washed-up Lesbian Association)

Why was she considered in the first place, are they ostriches, or did they think they could slide her through, buch of morons.

[KellyAdmirer]

I don't understand why the YWCA would have hired a prominent lesbian like that to head up the organization in the first place, but seeing her get canned and told to hit the street sort of makes it all seem worthwhile. :)

Great news! Maybe now we can work on the Girl Scouts since it seems to be heading in the same "left" direction.

Agreed, but better late than never. Admit you screwed up, clean house, and move on.

They are supposed to give notice to fire someone?

[rface]

[Porterville]

Poor crusty old slut, nobody likes a Clinton Lover after 9-11. We are winning!!!

[goodnesswins]

YES....let's "work on the Girl Scouts"......I'm sick about what I've heard about their "direction."
