We never thought we’d live to see the day that the National Organization for Women would side with Michele Bachmann (or any other conservative woman, for that matter) on anything.
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.
Ugly, bitter and angry. Those words describe the battle between Hooters and NOW and, if we’re not mistaken, they also describe the women of NOW.

Guys go to Hooters for the food like they buy Playboy for the articles
SFGate.com has the details:
The National Organization for Women filed complaints against local Hooters restaurants Thursday, but not for exploiting its scantily clad waitresses by subjecting them to leering and groping customers.
The subject this time was Hooters’ catering to children.
The restaurants in San Francisco, San Bruno, Sacramento and Orange County are classified as “adult entertainment” establishments but also serve minors, NOW’s California chapter said in papers filed with police and prosecutors.
What’s more, the organization said, Hooters provides child menus, high chairs and booster seats, and sells T-shirts in children’s sizes that identify the wearer as a “Future Hooters Girl.”
Don’t you suspect that if Hooters didn’t provide child menus, high chairs and booster seats some other liberal organization would accuse them of discriminating against children?
The way we understand this story, NOW is only a proponent of choice if that choice involves aborting a baby. But if parents should make the mistake of actually having that child, the same organization will then deny them their choice of restaurants.
We realize that we’ve been mistaken all these years and the word whore is now considered not only acceptable, but something worthy of getting you endorsed, please allow us to be the first to call a few other women whores.
California Democrat Jerry Brown didn’t disagree when one of his aides was caught on tape calling Republican Gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman “a whore.” A few hours later, he was he was rewarded with an endorsement by the National Organization of Women.
Florida Congressman Alan Grayson also called a female lobbyist a whore and, sure enough, NOW also endorsed him.
So now that we realize that we’ve been mistaken all these years and the word whore is now considered not only acceptable, but something worthy of getting you endorsed, please allow us to be the first to call a few other women whores.

President Obama’s losing independents. He’s losing men. He’s losing Hispanics. Now he’s even losing liberal women’s rights groups because his circle of economic advisers is about as women-friendly as the Augusta National Golf Club.

The Hill gives voice to these poor, unfortunate women:
President Obama has wiped the smile off Terry O'Neill's face
Women’s rights groups — including the National Organization for Women (NOW) and The New Agenda — have sharply criticized the White House for not including more women in prominent positions overseeing the economy and financial policy. The groups are pressuring the president to nominate Elizabeth Warren as the inaugural head of a new consumer financial protection office.
“It’s very disappointing. You can’t say unexpected but very disappointing that the president is content to build a boy’s club in the White House in many areas,” Amy Siskind, head of The New Agenda, said Friday after the president named Goolsbee to the job.
“The problem with the president insulating himself with the old boys around him is that he is really not getting information about how people are struggling, how women are struggling,” Terry O’Neill, head of NOW, said earlier last week.
You have to admit that the women have a point. They couldn’t screw this economy up any more than Obama’s boyfriends have.
Welcome to tonight’s main event. In one corner, we have the lunatics from PETA, who believe nothing is more important than saving animals. In the other corner, we have the wackos from NOW who believe every woman is beautiful.
There’s nothing more entertaining – absolutely nothing – than when leftist special interest groups square off against each other.
Welcome to tonight’s main event. In one corner, we have the lunatics from PETA, who believe nothing is more important than saving animals. In the other corner, we have the wackos from NOW who believe every woman is beautiful.
This may be the first time we’ve ever thrown our support behind PETA.
File photo of David Letterman from about 20 years ago, back when he was funny
Much to everyone’s surprise, and for the first time in support of a conservative woman in recent memory, the National Organization for Women condemned David Letterman’s ugly attack on Sarah Palin and her 14-year old daughter.
Here’s part of the statement from NOW’s website:
Letterman said “I recognize that these are ugly” jokes. NOW agrees. Comedians in search of a laugh should really know better than to snicker about men having sex with teenage girls (or young women) less than half their age.
The sexualization of girls and women in the media is reaching new lows these days — it is exploitative and has a negative effect on how all women and girls are perceived and how they view themselves. Letterman also joked about what he called Palin’s “slutty flight attendant look” — yet another example of how the media love to focus on a woman politician’s appearance, especially as it relates to her sexual appeal to men. Someone of Letterman’s stature, who appears on what used to be known as “the Tiffany Network” (CBS), should be above wallowing in the juvenile, sexist mud that other comedians and broadcasters seem to prefer.
So far, so good. But it was as if NOW just couldn’t bear chastising a liberal, so just for good measure they piled on Rush Limbaugh for something he said back in the early ‘90s:
On that point, it’s important to note that when Chelsea Clinton was 13 years old she was the target of numerous insults based on her appearance. Rush Limbaugh even referred to her as the “White House dog.” NOW hopes that all the conservatives who are fired up about sexism in the media lately will join us in calling out sexism when it is directed at women who aren’t professed conservatives.
Back at you, NOW. Might be nice if you guys came out in support of a conservative woman a little more often.
Ahhh, the beauty of Sharia Law. Coming soon to a country near you!
For some mysterious reason, this story’s barely made a blip in the news. Guess the American media’s just been too darn busy gushing over Michelle Obama’s arms.
A 75-year-old Saudi Arabian widow has been sentenced to 40 lashes and four months in jail for “mingling” with two young men who were not close relatives. One was her late husband’s nephew and the other was his business partner. Ah, the beauty of Islamic Sharia law.
One can’t help but notice the media’s striking lack of concern for women outside the United States. It’s rare to hear more than a whisper of protest from any print or broadcast media.
And the big name women’s organizations? Silent as Marcelle Marceau despite the fact that they’re always the first to say, “It’s one world. We’re one family of people. We’re all brothers and sisters.” Yet when confronted with horrible abuse in Muslim nations, the typical response is, “We must understand. We must not be so quick to criticize, because its their culture.”
Perhaps those 40 lashes would have been applied better to someone else. Send your nominations to IHateTheMedia.com.
