NOW president returns fire on Limbaugh

Terry O'Neill, the president of the progressive National Organization for Women (NOW), is returning fire on conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh, who yesterday called her organization a "faux feminist group" and its members "femi-nazis," and launched an anti-NOW Facebook page called "National Organization for Rush Babes."
"I don't think conservative women want to associate themselves with his hate. I don't think they would want to associate themselves with his bullying," O'Neill told me this morning. "I don't think conservative women would want to associate themselves with his vitriolic attacks."
Limbuagh yesterday described National Organization for Rush Babes as an effort to counter NOW's "Enough Rush" campaign, which encourages advertisers to boycott his program. Limbaugh said NOW was wrong to think it speaks for women: "If there was ever a group that speaks for an almost infinitesimal minority of women, it's them," he said. "Rush Babes for America [is] dedicated to the millions of conservative women who know what they believe in: family, American Values, and not being told by faux feminist groups how to think."
But O'Neill said that conservative women, while they may agree with Limbaugh on matters of policy, would not support his "bullying," citing his recent attacks on Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke, who he referred to as a "slut" and a "prostitute."
"I think there are extraordinarily few people who agree with what he said about Sandra Fluke," she said. "I don't think women want to watch Sandra Fluke having sex in a video tape for the sexual gratification of men."

NOW gals are starting to freak out.
When the NOW hags first started making noise in the late sixties, I was struck by the amount of hatred and vitriol not only towards men but also towards their own country. After reading bios of some of the more prominent leaders of the radical feminists (most of them), I was again interested to discover that many of them came from privileged families but spouted Marxist dogma.
My conclusion was that most of them were very unhappy persons by nature. Think Andrea Dworkin. We have a NOW person who writes a lot of letters to our local lib rag. I knew a co-worker who was a high school classmate of this woman. He said she was always angry and unsmiling. She gets her photo in the paper occasionally, and it's a picture of a very angry looking person. Angry people make up a lot of NOW. Bitter people who will never be happy under any circumstances.
I listen to Rush almost every day. I wouldn’t say he hates anything. I bet Ms O’neill has never heard Rush’s show.
this is an interesting moment, considering baby Brock and his depraved minions over at Media Matters has been planning this for several years.
I still shake my head in disbelief that the "NAG's" are so oblivious to their own behavior. Their ignorance of irony is mind boggling.
ex; They feign being upset, Rush calling them Femi nazi's while they go around trying to control speech and thought.
I have watched this show (behavior) for decades and its like well . . . stupid is as stupid does!
The militant Feminist is an excellent "Exhibit A" in support of my point.
