New York NOW Chapter SLAMS Ted Kennedy for endorsing Hillary's opponent
Times Union ^ | 01/28/2008

Posted on 01/28/2008 10:55:17 AM PST by 1Old Pro

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.’”

Whomever at NOW that penned this tripe needs to take a Midol, get back in the kitchen and bake some cookies for her man.

And she better have dinner ready on time too, and no frozen crap, Hamburger helper, or Instant 'this' either. And be dressed nice you ungrateful wench, not like some Bulgarian scrub woman. And don't forget the Pearl necklace and heels, that's always a nice touch.

And tomorrow, the dessert shall be Dutch Apple Pie - made from scratch. So get to the market stat 'sweetie'.

I’m having real trouble with this. I won’t believe it until it’s authenticated by someone from NOW.

It’s not about trusting him. I think he’s being had.

It’s nothing personal.

Try thinking this coming from Hil herself and it might be a bit more believable. I think we all agree a lot of Clintonian attacks are done by surrogates.

"But we have no problem with:

(1) Leaving a young femal staffer to drown
(2) Sexually abusing a working woman (waitress) with your colleague Chris Dodd.
(3) Helping to cover up the rape of a young woman by your nephew."

Of course No Child Left Behind is really so much worse./s

One of the Kossacks claims they spoke with NYC NOW and confirmed it’s real.

I never thought I’d see the day when a Kossack in good standing replied to a NOW press release with a Midol pic.

And the Angel came forth and broke the Seventh Seal and behold...

“And now the fun part begins.”

The Democrats are reaping what they have sown. Identity politics, and the coddling and excuse-making for the Clinton crime family.

It’s fun to watch. For conservatives!

Holy crap- do NOT miss the comments at Daily Kos- they’re now officially as divided as we are.

What a year.

For your entertainment.

Maybe it should get a mention over at NRO’s Corner too.
