Posted on 01/29/2008 6:27:02 AM PST by Sertorius

"Marcia Pappas, NOW-NY's president, wrote in a news release that on a host of issues and positions, "Women have forgiven Kennedy, stuck up for him, stood by him," but "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"

NOW also doesn’t seem to issue such angry statements over women in burkas or being stoned to death for being raped.

Is that the NY chapter, or the whole country?

And does that include the two little old ladies who thought it was a zoning meeting?

“NOW has about 50 members.”

During the late 90’s early 2000’s, our local fishwrap had a very vile left wing editor/publisher.

His favorite way to manipulate the news was to have his photographers take a picture of a Now group, Lesbians, La Raza and Greens and then present a few misfits as a large group on the front page.

Marcia must be talking about three women or so. Such utter rubbish! Caroline Kennedy, a woman and mother of three, supports the young, energetic, and well spoken Obama. Caroline Kennedy speaks for many, many more women than Marcia, I would guess. And the idea of supporting a woman for President simply because she is a woman, is racist is it NOT? What happened to the content of character vs. color of skin or gender?

Oddly those rules only work for Dim candidates:

1. Notice Dims felt little pressure to vote for Swann or Blackwell or Steele because they were black.

2. Notice Dims feel little pressure to vote for GOP women candidates either.

White men? Why bring race into it? Does this mean that it’s ok for non-white men?

Reminder: Depeating Hellary is the Prime Directive. End the Cult of KKKlinton.

That’s interesting...some of them really seem stuck in a time warp in what they have to say.

But he does support the first potential African-American president. You’ve got to like these liberals, what a bunch incredible hypocrites.

Why should NOW have supported Teddy Kennedy in the first place?

NOW “forgives” and covers up for true misogynists like Clinton and Kennedy because the “feminist” movement is all about socialism, abortion, and most recently, lesbianism.

Nothing in this actually promotes women’s rights and equality.

The left sides with whomever opposes and seeks to destroy Western Culture.

They believe, somehow, that once Western Civilization is destroyed, they can impose their own culture on us (and somehow forget that there was a conquering culture that would now be in power).
