Shocker: NOW sides with Michele Bachmann over Newsweek hit piece

We never thought we’d live to see the day that the National Organiation for Women would side with Michele Bachmann (or any other conservative woman, for that matter) on anything. And we mean anything!

But clear the runway and get ready for the pig to take-off, because that’s exactly what’s happened.

Ology.com has the shocking details:

NOW, an organization that has received some criticism for its deafening silence when prominent conservative women like former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin are lampooned in the national press, has come out strongly against the depiction of Rep. Bachmann as the “Queen of Rage.”

“Who has ever called a man ‘The King of Rage?,’ NOW president Terry O’Neil told TheDC. “The ‘Queen of Rage’ is something you apply to wrestlers or somebody who is crazy. They didn’t even do this to Howard Dean when he had his famous scream.”

Of course, NOW doesn’t mention that Newsweek’s cover photo makes Bachmann look crazy as a loon, because, we assume, the lovely ladies of NOW live in a universe where all Republican women are crazy by definition.

  • Maybe President Bush should have used a teleprompter more often, eh? Can you really blame Obama for trying to deliver his speeches in the most efficient manner possible? Despite Obama's need for a teleprompter, I believe he performs better than Bush in interviews. i can just keep going on but we will still continue to disagree.

    I was joking about the erik comment. Sorry

  • John Mayer:"you and I both know Bush has a HIGHER RATE of messing up during speeches?"

    Speak for yourself. How do "you and I" know this? Because liberal comedians and media people keep repeating it over and over? I don't know that Bush messed up any more during the first 30 months of his presidency than Obama messed up in his first 30 months. Has it ever occurred to you that maybe one reason Bush messed up some was that he wasn't reading nearly as much off a teleprompter but was speaking off the cuff more?

    "Obama's reliance on the teleprompter is unusual - not only because he is famous for his oratory, but because no other president has used one so consistently and at so many events, large and small."

    John Mayer:"he (Erik Everhard) seems more sensible than some of you."

    Why? Because he called a Christian woman, Michele Bachmann, married to the same man for 33 years with 5 children and 23 foster children "a true skank"?

  • Whoever was responsible for that picture making the cover is just as crazy as they tried to make Michele appear

  • In a concerted effort educate the IHTM crowd, I will now offer the creme' de la creme (pun intended!) of Pro Wrestling Cable's (Fox/MSNBC/CNN) hottest hotties ranked by sweater buster (objective) /projected quality dome (subjective) quotient:

    D cup/ A dome:
    Patti Ann Brown (FNC)...smokin' hot, totally nasty
    Tamryn Hall (MSNBC) ...curvy boobs and booty
    Robyn Meade (CNN)...boob job passable...could be funkiest of all
    C cup/A dome:
    Sarah Palin (FNC)...hockey mom always ready for the one-timer...
    C cup/C dome:
    Shannon Bream (FNC) Miss Florida with hottest bod of all, but prays way too much.
    B cup/A+ dome (FNC): Megyn Kelly...a freak
    Best of the Rest: none noted...boring B's with no salsa.

    Comments welcome.

    • "In a concerted effort educate the IHTM crowd"

      You should seek an education before you seek to educate others. Your English is as bad as my 5 year old's.

      The rest of this is sexist nonsense that I doubt no one besides John Mayer appreciates.

      Congratulations, you have joined Gibsmesum in the list of people I vote down. There's two of you there now! Don't you feel special?

      • I would guess that your 5 year old is educated beyond what most 5 year olds are, DB. It's a good thing to have parents that care.

  • Bachmann is a true skank-and a loon; the Newsweek cover does her perfect justice....I wouldn't hose her with Rush Limbaugh's teeny, drug-infested tool.

    Sarah's Newsweek cover was smokin' hot...God Bless America. We don't need blown-out hags like Bachmann or Wasserman-Schultz on TV...those dick-shrinkers should be relegated to sex-addict treatment clinics--Slick Willie would become a eunich in one nano-second.

  • Keep going off topic. You are wrong again. I will admit I play both sides. I am not angry. I have already stated in other topics on this website that I can care less about Obama. I am getting irritated that you keep dodging the issue at hand. PROVE to me that Obama has messed up more than Bush has and I will keep quiet. Until then I will accept that you know you are wrong and that you are not man enough to admit it.

    Again, did I say he was a good President? No i didn't. All i said is that he was better at giving speeches.

    • John Mayer:"off topic ... you keep dodging the issue at hand"

      This thread is about even NOW being angry at a cheap shot taken at Michele Bachmann. You diverted the thread and got off topic by posting a video of Bachmann gaffes. I called Obama "57 states" and provided a couple of links to his gaffes. You got MAD and further diverted the thread by bringing Bush in. Don't insult our intelligence by saying you're neutral as you show or speak of the mistakes of Bachmann and Bush but then get MAD when Obama is shown as having his mistakes. Bush was President for 96 months. Obama has been President for 30 months. I guess Bush has messed up more because his presidency has been 66 months longer. I don't act like Bush was the second coming of Jesus. Why don't you prove to me that Bush messed up more in his first 30 months than Obama has messed up in his first 30 months? You can't. You just lap up the media narrative that Bush is dumb and Obama is Einstein. I don't get mad when Bush or Bachmann are shown making mistakes. I know they're human. But boy you get mad if Obama or Clinton are criticized.

      • I am not mad that you are trying to pinpoint out a mistake Obama has made. I was irritated because you were backpedaling away from the challenge. In all honesty I can't say I blame you because you and I both know Bush has a HIGHER RATE of messing up during speeches. Even 5 more years from now I bet Bush will still hold the record. Let me make it clear though that this has NOTHING to do with his (Bush) potency as a President.

  • John Mayer: "I highly doubt Obama has messed up MORE than Bush."

    I highly doubt you patronize any forums that show you Obama messing up. Why so angry about being shown some of Obama gaffes? Do they come as a revelation?

    John Mayer:"he (Obama) is no doubt a better speaker."

    That's helping the country so much at the present moment. That's the problem with you liberals, style over substance.

    • I highly doubt that Obama has messed up MORE than Bush.

      He has also been President less than half the time Bush was. Give him time, just not 4 more years!

      • 3,000% savings on healthcare will be enjoyed by employers. That's a mightily stupid man right there.

    • John Mayer:"Do you really want me to post 100's of videos of President Bush saying ridiculous things??"

      Why would you need to post them? The leftist comedians and leftist media showed them to me for eight years. The real question is: Is your media information so selective that you're in the dark about how often Obama messes up? Are any of Bush's gaffes as bad as not knowing how many states there are in the country he was governing?

      • Is that all you got buddy?? You keep bringing up the same line over and over again. Come on show me more videos.

        I highly doubt that Obama has messed up MORE than Bush. You can say that the media is selective all you want. Whether or not you agree with Obama's ideas he is no doubt a better speaker.

  • NOW understands that if the women are too crazy to lead stereotype is advanced successfully against conservative women it will probably have a little bit of pull against liberal women as well. Ever notice how against a conservative woman, a conservative African-American, or a conservative Hispanic, liberals pull out every ugly stereotype they usually condemn? And so they call conservative women crazy and conservative African-Americans Uncle Tom.

    KimmyQueen, the liberals HATE and I mean HATE Sarah Palin for giving birth to a Down Syndrome child. They know her selflessness exposes their selfishness.

    • Exactly liberals tend to be so hypocritical about their "values". They assume that "minorities" can ONLY be liberals and if they aren't they are aberrant or abnormal. That is a very arrogant attitude to boot.
