AUGUSTA, GA—Martha Burk is targeting corporate America in her guilt by association campaign against Augusta National. But all of America should be targeting her National Council of Women’s Organizations and its supporters of terrorism.

The feminist protester of the men-only Augusta National Golf Club, site of today’s Masters Golf Tournament, announced yesterday that she will now attack corporations whose CEOs and top executives are among Augusta National’s approximately 300 members. Burk said she will examine the companies’ employment records and other data for reasons to boycott them. Calling it her “consumer education campaign,” Burk linked corporate CEO’s trips to Augusta National with the corporations’ layoffs of employees.

But, in this era of the War on Terrorism, the real “consumer education campaign” should scrutinize members of Burk’s organization. Some have made outrageous statements and even taken actions in support of terrorism and terrorists.

Burk’s National Council of Women’s Organizations, includes:

· Equality Now—Equality Now serves as the U.S. mouthpiece for an organization that sponsors the rebuilding of homes and buildings used to facilitate Palestinian terrorism.

Equality Now sent out press releases and organized press conferences for Bat Shalom, a feminist group which supports a boycotts of some Israeli products and sponsors and runs ads on its website for the rebuilding of Palestinian houses destroyed by the Israeli Army. According to Ha’Aretz, these houses are either homes of homicide bombers and other terrorists, or abandoned structures on the border of Gaza and Egypt, used to camouflage tunnels through which explosives and bombs are smuggled to Palestinian terrorists. The campaign to rebuild the homes lists Palestinian-American activist Rania Masri as a donor. Masri enthusiastically shared the stage on several occasions with indicted Islamic Jihad chief Sami Al-Arian.

When you look into these people you find some pretty strange stuff. Just like the (aledged) "peace" marches, they are backed by terrorist organizations and commies.

Companies employment records and data are none of her d.... business.

What I'd like to know is; where the hell is the outrage from women regarding this? Martha my dear clearly has an agenda which is fine really, but why aren't more women speaking out against this?

Women still face many hurdles in life and all Ms. Burke can think of is cheap publicity. I keep thinking one day this foolishness will stop once and for all. Not yet.

Martha was expecting hundreds of women to show up on Sunday to protest. Instead, 40 people showed up.

my eyes, my eyes,, should have listened to you,

Is there only 300 members of this club??????
If so, they are not just excluding women....

[N. Theknow]

If Augusta National ever accepts a woman member it should also give memberships to Paula Jones and Juanita Brodderick and a posthumous membership to Mary Jo Kopechne.

Butchie Burk's "boycott" of the Masters was a spectacular flop. ("Boycott? What boycott???") We couldn't have asked for a more humiliating failure for her.

And I suppose (given the "clout" she has--LOL) the companies she's threatening are supposed to cower and beg for mercy.

Hey Martha--take a number!! You're number 105 on the "blackmail the Fortune 500" Clymers list, now serving #16. These companies get blackmailed every day by the likes of Jesse Jackson and Queasy Mfool--do you think they give a cr@p about your latest threat?
