Yeah, God forbid NOW actually throw it's support behind a woman who is actually strong and accomplished anything. No, giving birth must be just stupid as hell, but giving birth AND working, AND trying to do anything self-less to better your nation, now that's REALLY stupid. Why support that. Just keep with the abortions and welfare. That's the ticket.
If Shelley Mandell considers herself a feminist, then I wonder why she does not endorse the Presidential party ticket that contains a Woman for candidate President and a Woman candidate for Vice President????
The Green Party.
Never mind. I think I can probably guess some of the reasons that she is not supporting that groundbreaking, historical ticket.
The headline above this video is incorrect. The National Organization for Women PAC has endorsed Barack Obama and Joe Biden. No chapter of NOW has made a contrary endorsement.
I do not doubt that Shelly Mandel personally supports Sarah Palin (as seen in the video), but NOW officially supports the Obama/Biden ticket. Shelly Mandel has gone against the feminist movement by supporting Palin, and is at this point pretty well suited to becoming a politician, seeing as how she only supports her own personal agenda.
Feminism is a liberal movement because it's forward moving. The antithesis would be conservative, or in other words, backwards moving. This is Poli Sci 101.
Did you learn this in one of those Annenberg Ayers schools Obama helped start? Poli Sci?<<<Feminism is a liberal movement because it's forward moving. The antithesis would be conservative, or in other words, backwards moving. This is Poli Sci 101.
In the NOW organization she is the equivilent of a small backwater mayor in a remote part of rural America. She's what you call a big fish in a little pond. In other words: "irrelevant". (Republican's love throwing that word around but it sure chaps their ass to realize it applies to them this time.)
Shelly Mandel has a long history of promoting infighting and backbiting in a NOW chapter famous for both.
In fact, she first made her name back in the early '80s when she decided to "clear the air" about her nemesis Ginny Foat by reporting her to the LA State Police for a crime she was later cleared of.
In other words, Shelly Mandell has never been loyal to anything except to her own personal ambition. Why would anything change now?
I have been a feminist since 1969 and historically involved in the movement. I support Sarah Palin and Shelly Mandell's endorsement. Voting for Palin for VP will open doors for our daughters and granddaughters..
i figured most liberal women wanted sarah gang-raped (sandra bernhard), to "suck it" (pam anderson), or to list her only qualification as not having had an abortion (carol fowler). Palin deserves more credit than she's getting and has more guts than most people (regardless of gender) to stand up for what she believes in, and she's taken the hits gracefully.
I enjoy seeing so many thoughtless liberals commenting on subjects that thier not educated on. Indeed they have been indoctrinated, but sadly not educated. I was once counted among the liberal youth in my city. Reagan change all that for me. I got rid of my pot, I cut my hair, I turned off my lava lamp, through out my tye dye's and parked my micro bus in the barn. I got a job, worked my ass off and grew up!! I agree with the Chief of NOW, McCain & Palin has my vote and to hell with the left!!
Feminism is not Far left.. Far left has tried to prostitute Feminism. Betty Freidan was fiercely attacked by the far left just before she died and when she wrote her last book "coming of Age". "feminism does not replace the family, its helps women AND their families" Betty Freidan To support Palin is a support for all women!
You are what you eat! But not everyone would find your diet attractive.
ps, Do you EVEN KNOW WHAT A FASCIST IS, you illiterate "Liberal"??? Obama, by putting together a "Truth Squad" that stamps out free speech in Missouri, PROVES HE IS A FASCIST, UNLETTERED BIMBO!!!
America, this is what a feminist looks like" This is quite a moment for her to push back against the pressure from the feminist groups who see Sarah Palin as a traitor because she's a Republican and pro-life who actually lived her principles.
Can remember all you libs like to do is bitch,protest and do as little as possible.Here is a real fact most of us conservitives the reason we have money is cause we work hard put in the extra time at work and do what it tkes to make a better life for ourselve.Insted you loibs sit bitch and take so you dont have to put extra time and work into making a better lifeSo for once you libs shut the FUCK UPand take responsability for yourselves and stop bitching about others ASCLOWN
I agree! Women of America, stand up for Sarah Palin and some of you need to stop being hypocrites! You complain & bitch about the very things you are doing to Palin! What hypocrisy! You are either behind women's equality or you have a personal agenda! Which is it! Go Sarah Palin!
You call us conservitives fascist.Well look at your self.Libs like you are the pussys that wont serve in the millitary(Me 11 years in the CORE TILL AN IED HIT ME AND AY UNIT)TRY DOING SOMETHING FOR YOUR COUNTRY.Better yet try doing some thing for yourself insted of looking for a hand out.Since
Obviously, this is all about race. It is patently absurd for a women's rights organization to throw its support behind candidates who have made no secret of their desire to overturn Roe v. Wade, and who will have the opportunity to do so. But then again, NOW has always been "The National Organization of Rich White Women" and its members will be able to travel abroad to terminate their unwanted pregnancies.
But, Palin isn't running for president, toaster005.
And yes, unfortunately, race is an issue.
In fact, if you tune into NPR's story just this morning about the Appalachian campaign trail...race is a factor, for many people. But, so is Palin's unreadiness.
And honestly, an egalitarian society would probably help close the gap between rich & poor, etc etc. But, the 'right' doesn't want that. Because sharing just isn't any fun. ; )
The why are you so concerned about her? You brought it up. This was a video about Palin.
Race is a factor. So let it be a factor. It is the reason many wont pick McCain and the reason many wont pick Obama. So what?
The right doesnt want to share? Have Obama share some of his Million dollar house with you. I dont have a million dollar house. And ask his buddy Rezco to spread some of his cash your way. Left likes to share as long as it is the taxpayers money.
I have no interest in your fascist ravings, you right wing lunatic. Should I ever desire to know your opinion on a given subject, I'll consult Rush "Hillbilly Heroin" Limbaugh.
No, toaster005, not necessarily democrat but, rather someone who's religious leanings and moralistic beliefs do not interfere with political progression. Separation of church and state was instated for a reason. And how dare anyone 'decide' for us that the religious leaning of OUR nation (read: that belongs to it's inhabitants, all of them) is so outrightly Christian conservative.
In fact, if you do your homework, this nation WAS NOT founded on Christian beliefs...(in case you decided to rebuff)
When was seperation of church and state written? Oh yah it never was. That statement as it is often quoted was not in that context as written by Jefferson. Nevertheless I would prefer that Churches like Jeremiah Wright, Jessie Jackson and the like stay out of politics. As I would Fallwell and the others you might mention . But nevertheless how has Palins beliefs mean she would insert Christianity into the Governance? She has beliefs or she does not.
The phrase "In God We Trust", for instance, wasn't added until the 1956. E Pluribus Unum ("from many, one") is our nation's official motto.
History 101: Those who fled to America were tired of the king.
So, they up-started a new nation where freedom of religion (remember that phrase?) was part of it's basic doctrine. America was essentially a 'religious refuge'.
Religious conservatism isn't something that should be injected into our society. It's a personal belief that should remain that way.
That already was ruined with Obamas lame denial of influence by Wright. And I still would like to see how Palin will go around and baptize everyone. Bush was more zealous in his faith than Palin has shown to be so far. Not sure what all you Lefties are afraid of.
In fact, toaster005, some of the more prominent Founding Fathers were vocal about their opposition to organized religion. Some of them often related their anti-organized church leanings in their speeches and correspondence, including George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin.
So, to gently reiterate, if Sarah Palin steered clear of her religious injections and focused on EVERYONE, she might be suited for some form of higher office.
Rape is also not a CHOICE. ----If you made that part of the argument you would lose the resistance against you from 95% of the Conservatives including me. I would be hard pressed to support that judgement against a woman. However, that is a very small % and infact abortion is used as a form of birth control in most cases. I have met plenty women who have had over 5 abortions. Geez! get 'em tied if you can't find way to a pill or overcoat.
So, theoretically, when these babies are born to mothers who don't want them, and they get dumped in the system to rot for years until they are no longer babies... what happens then?
How about this, if it's so important that these babies are saved, why not all those in favor open their homes to adoption?
Did you know, that the largest percentage of children in the foster system are afro-am. boys. Most of them live out their 18 years in the system.
now now, if a "right-winger" would have said that about "afro-am" boys you would want them strung up by the balls for being a racist. The most racist people i know are ALL democrats and liberals.....
continued..I like her beliefs better than Obamas religiosity of 20 years following a nutty Pastor who covorts with radical anti Americans. I would rather my candidate if you wish to go there be influnced by a nut who loves America than one who clearly despises America.Belief is one way or the other. And the founders mostly had some Christian background and culture... thus beliefs. They may not have bible thumpers, but they were believers.
She's only one woman with a microphone. There are so many other women whose words will not be amplified in the days ahead but will, nonetheless, be heard come November. Yes, a sad day in November for Democrats. Give us something besides manufactured hyperbole and a seething hatred for George Bush and maybe, just maybe you'll regain the White House. But at this rate, you're likely to lose congress too. Pelosi and Reid are doing such a great job. NOT!
