Martha Burke Gives Women a Bad Name

(OMED: Certain references to national socialism in the text below were taken directly from signs carried by pseudo-feminists in public demonstrations between 1960 and 2003.)

Femi-Nazi Martha Burke, National Charwoman of the National Council of Women’s Organizations said during a mid-February PBS Lehrer News Hour interview, “Television is still a media run by men.”

The interview itself was about the idiotic attack on the men’s golf club that hosts the Masters tournament (April 7-13), one of the most important competitions in the sport. The female fascists of the extreme left have already frightened half of America’s males into giving up everything that used to make them men, but a few stalwart holdouts still stand as magnificent examples of what America once produced.

Hootie Johnson (shown here with Tiger Woods) is the boss of the all-male Master’s bunch, and an odd target for liberals. He helped desegregate South Carolina University and personally pushed women into executive jobs with Banker’s Trust. Sexist racists should be made of sterner stuff.

But, the moronic Miss Burke has been hammering on him, threatening demonstrations....(snip)

While I'd like to have a chat with Mr. Gumbel about his appalling lack of knowledge on what used to happen to women in this country, the article overall is outstanding. Someone shut that whiny, idiotic woman up. She makes it more difficult for normal women like myself to get anywhere, because even legitimate complaints are ignored as "whiny" in the face of this type of stupidity. I don't even like golf, but I'm going to watch the entire freaking tournament just as "screw you" to Martha Burke. That woman needs to be gagged.

Burk closer to filing lawsuit against city officials

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Martha Burk is ready to sue city officials who haven't answered her request for permission to protest

Burk, the head of National Council of Women's Organizations, flew to Atlanta on Tuesday to sign paperwork for the lawsuit, which would be filed by the Georgia chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union.

Burk applied last week for a one-day permit to have 24 protesters at Augusta National's front gate and another 200 across the street during the tournament's third round April 12.

"If they don't approve it, we will file the lawsuit immediately because it's going to be necessary to get what we need to protest," Burk said by telephone Tuesday.

Richmond County Sheriff Ronald Strength had not issued a decision on Burk's request by late afternoon Tuesday. He did not return a request for comment.

Burk's suit would challenge whether Augusta's protest ordinance, which city officials revised last month, infringes on free-speech rights by requiring protesters to seek a permit from the sheriff at least 20 days in advance.

The sheriff can approve, deny or amend any request.

With her protest application last week, Burk included a letter threatening to sue if she did not get a favorable response by Tuesday.

Strength was expected to decide on Burk's application Wednesday. He previously said he opposed allowing protests directly in front of Augusta National during the Masters because of concerns about traffic and safety.

Burk said Augusta officials still might avoid a lawsuit if they approve her protest plans ( I'll bet they're just shaking in their boots) Wednesday. But she said ACLU lawyers would still need to work with city officials to iron out "constitutional problems" with the protest law.
