'Snooty Hootie' hasn't mastered changing times (Cynthia Tucker Alert)

excuse me, but have all the all-women clubs, sports programs, companies, schools...ect. been integrated with men? It seems to me you have to get your own house in order before you can start preaching to the masses.

[kcordell]

And who exactly is Cynthia Tucker?

Cynthia is the bed-wetting, Liberal Opinion Editor of the Atlanta Journal and Constitution. She is a graduate of the University of Auburn where she belonged to several groups that EXCLUDED whites.

[abclily]

She is black?

[OldSmaj]

America's newest hero...Pfc. Jessica Lynch...who may have engaged Iraqi troops in a deadly firefight...one of the valiant women warriors helping to erode the strictures against allowing women in combat.

Somehow, I really, really don't think that this was on young Private Lynch's mind when she was lying there with broken bones and lacerations.

Of course, if Cynthia had her way, we would learn that Private Lynch, while undergoing the particular injuries, would assign "causes" to each, such as; "Ouch, this broken leg is for the furtherrance of women in combat", and "Ouch, this broken leg is for you, Martha Burk, may NOW prevail", or perhaps she said: "Ouch, I suffered this broken arm because of you, Hootie."

But we all know, if asked, she most certainly would have said: "Martha who?" or "Hootie what?".

For Tucker to attempt to use Private Lynch's situation as an equation to the goofy attempts from an organization such as NOW to gain entry into Augusta National is just shameful.

But then, Cynthia Tucker has always been shameful, ever ready to throw down the race card, the sex card, the religion card, it doesn't matter with her, just as long as she can spew her inane rhetoric.

I really, truly, do not see how this spiteful, racist, poverty-pimping, race-baiting hack continues to occupy an editorial post at that crap rag she writes for.

But then it is the Urinal-Constipation isn't it?

And just in case no one else has figured it out, Cynthia Tucker does not really see young Private Lynch as a hero or a valiant soldier, she sees her only as another tool for her to use to justify the crap she writes.

[William Terrell]

Cynthia Tucker is in serious need of getting laid.

I have really mixed feelings on this issue. Where we lived 1988-1990 they didn't allow black or Hispanic men to join the golf club, it was a private club. The waiting list to join was so long, that they could keep blacks out for a very long time. Then came Tiger Woods. They had to start letting black men play on many all white golf courses. I see the all white golf clubs as similar to the all male ones. And I grew up with two water fountains in public buildings, one sign said WHITE ONLY and the other one said COLORED ONLY. Restrooms had same signs. We accepted it back then, in the 1950s, but it was WRONG to keep people out because of race, gender, etc. Still is.

[cyborg]

I think people are making a big deal because of the male/female thing. They think Martha Burke is a feminazi interloper, and more women seem to have this idea than men! Sometimes men don't want to be around women.

My father was a member of a private all-white male club in Florida when I was little. Big deal. He did a lot of business on the golf course, even when my mother was there as a guest. Not even regular white people can get into a lot of these clubs anyway.

[4CJ]

Johnson insists that his club, as a private group, has every legal right to exclude women. As a strictly legal matter, he is probably right.

He is. Cynthia - quit yer bitchin'. I douubt seriously that Pfc. Jessica Lynch went into battle thinking that her actions would change private policy at the AGC.

After all, he is still mired in a foolish campaign pledge to allow Georgians to vote on the return of a recently retired state flag, which prominently features the Confederate battle emblem, a divisive symbol that especially galls black Georgians.

Oh the humanity, a politician that keeps his word. I'd walk over 20 miles of broken glass to vote for the old flag if I knew it would keep Cynthia torqed.

But it is a curious policy nevertheless, especially at a time when at least one other female soldier, Army Spc. Sohshana Johnson, is officially still being held as a prisoner of war, when Condoleezza Rice advises President Bush on national security, and when 14 women serve in the United States Senate, allegedly the most exclusive club in the nation.

Fine, I'm sure Cynthia is all for abolishing Black colleges, the Miss Black America Pageant, the RAINBOW/PUSH, the NAACP and other such institutions. As far as that goes, hire some conservatives and maybe then the liberal rag wouldn't be known as the Atlanta Urinal-Constipation.

Does Johnson think women would recoil from cigar smoke or agitate for facials and manicures? That they'll try to change the color of that garish green jacket?

How stupid can she be? She's arguing FOR the club to change it rules, and than claims that once in they won't change anything else!

No matter what polls may show, Augusta National is wrong to exclude women from its membership. It's as simple as that.

Screw the polls, Cynthia is mad because SHE can't join.

[tet68]

Another diatribe that proves the liberal scialists will continue to know no bounds in their attempts to socialize
our country. Racism, POWs, what's next, dead Iraqi babies?
Sorry, Fetuses.

[pollwatcher]

So, Buffyt,

We need to break apart EVERY clubs and association that excludes anyone else different. "Freedom of Association" is not a real thing in the country?" Let's demolish and defund those all womyn universities and ethnic fraternities.

I'll buy into all this pseudo-egalitarian stuff when I see Jesse Jackson passionately committed to getting Japanese-American Gandmothers on the NBA starting lineup.

[jawstenn1]

Here's my e-mail to Windy Cindy;

Do we not still have the right to free association? Do we have to crumble all semblence of our heritage because we have a few bad memories.

I think not.

[gdc61]

FYI.......G.O.L.F. Gentlemen Only Ladies Forbidden. i don't even play golf,i just love that line. go start a badmitten club hehehehe

[Fzob]

But, Johnson's defenders insist, the members of Augusta National are entitled to their privacy, one of the most important privileges of a free society. OK, I'll buy that. But it still seems an odd view of privacy -- narrow and eccentric.

Ok, she buys the idea of freedom of association. So what is the point of her rant? Must have something to do with depression brought on by Saddams defeat.

[nightdriver]

"No matter what polls may show, Augusta National is wrong to exclude women from its membership. It's as simple as that."

Hey, Cynthia, let's see men playing in LPGA tournaments on an equal basis with the gals and lets also see some men on the board of the NOW gang and THEN we'll talk about the rights and wrongs of excluding genders, huh?

Women try to horn in on men's activities from the time they learn to talk, and then they procede to change all the rules and run the entire game.

[jmax]

Question for golfers, since I fish and don't golf.....

Are there any women that can qualify for the Masters? Can they drive a ball as far as a man? Would they have to be given a handicap if they played the Masters? Also, can a man play in the LPGA? If it were allowed, would he have to be given a "reverse" handicap?

These are serious questions, as I don't know the answers.

[MightyMouseToSaveThe Day]

Agreed. NOW wastes their time focusing on irrelevant matters like a private club, but is strangely silent on the atrocities committed on women in other parts of the world--Sharia (sp?) law, female genital mutilation, etc. They're impotent to effect meaningful change, and worse, they don't even TRY to do something meaningfully!

[goodnesswins]

Hey, Cindy....yooo..hooo....YOU INSULT Pfc Lynch....that you would compare what she did to save her life (and maybe others)....in the midst of a war, to a private golf club.....and some chick's desire to gain entrance, you WANKER!
