Really important to keep an eye on the bigger picture. Look at what NOW did, and more importantly, did NOT do:
What they did:
1. Condemned Letterman.
2. Posted link to CBS to provide feedback.
What they did NOT do:
1. Call on Letterman to resign.
2. Ask boycott of advertisers.
3. Demand censure by CBS.
4. Demand unambiguous public apology by Letterman to Palin family.
5. Demand “sensitivity training” for Letterman.
6. Suggest viewer boycott of Letterman show.
Based on the above, I suggest that this was too big for NOW to simply ignore, but they only offered a token response, not true outrage. They made their comment, and now it’s time for them to “move on” and get back to their main purpose, which is bashing conservatives. In fact, they couldn’t wait and added the gratuitous slap on Rush at the end.
Do you know if the ever spoke up about that Playboy Hate**** List?
Insightful analysis.
