Classy organization, crandc! http://www.foxnews.com/politics/201...foxnews/politics (Internal - Politics - Text)
Since NOW clearly is nothing more than a political organization, and only advances the cause for women who agree with its politics, is it going too far to call it the National Organization for (Political) Whores?
It's a shame that NOW puts gender behind politics. Meg Whitman is pro-choice and should represent everything NOW would want to promote. The bottom line is that if Meg Whitman were a Democrat and Jerry Brown a Republican, NOW would be going after Brown with both barrels.
If she's paying her own money in her candidacy to become the governor, and Brown is taking campaign contributions, wouldn't that make Whitman the "john", and Brown the "whore"? Or am I missing something? I'm not too educated on prostitution. I'm a bit surprised than an educated, successful, business-oriented female candidate would be the target of the National Organization of Women. I guess there's hypocrisy in a lot of places.
I don't believe anyone on the left or right (except knee jerk contrarian types) think that the Brown campaign calling her a whore was a good thing. He's apologized for it, though the lefties I see on TV feel he blew his response to her at the debate and came off looking terrible because of it. NOW adding "political" to "political whore" really changes the meaning of "whore" to another and clear meaning that's OK, IMO. Politicians sell themselves for money, so in the spirit of the word, it's a fair label.
By that logic, I guess it's okay to call someone in the pocket of one industry or another a "political house ni**er". You know, because I put the word "political" in front of it.
Her people should just call him a "bastard" back. Weird place. In the history of the US, has any state ever had a governor who, you can't understand a word he says?
If the N word had some sort of meaning in that context, I suppose. I know that Colin Powell was called a house n**ger by black folk on the left.
Are you disputing the quote from the CA leader of NOW? It appears on more than just Fox News. Plus, the quote originated with a report from TalkingPointsMemo.com, which could hardly be called a conservative site. That said, I am not at all surprised that you would try and obfuscate the message by attacking the messenger.
Yes. Until I see it on their Web site. Because Fox has made things up before. They gave $1 million to the Republican Party. They are not neutral. You would say neither is NOW, but at least they are more likely to quote themselves accurately. Perhaps, and I say perhaps, one person used that term but I have not seen any official statement.
Here's the money quote (my emphasis added) If that's not covering for the Brown Campaign, I don't know what is.
Here you go crandc. This is from the Huffington Post. I guess that makes it true! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/10/14/meg-whitman-whore-now_n_763211.html
