The New York branch of the National Organization for Women (NOW) is a bit miffed (okay, they're freakin' pissed!) that Ted Kennedy has endorsed Barack Obama.
And now the greatest betrayal! We are repaid with his abandonment!" the statement continues. "He’s picked the new guy over us. He’s joined the list of progressive white men who can’t or won’t handle the prospect of a woman president who is Hillary Clinton.
...
This latest move by Kennedy is so telling about the status of and respect for women’s rights, women’s voices, women’s equality, women’s authority and our ability – indeed, our obligation — to promote and earn and deserve and elect, unabashedly, a president that is the first woman after centuries of men who ‘know what’s best for us.’
This is exactly why radicals for any position tend to come off as whack. 'Cause you know Kennedy just can't be supporting Obama because he finds him a better candidate. Nope. He's a closet misogynist! I bet he's a Nazi and baby-raper, too! Come on, ladies, let's lynch the prick!
*ahem* Sometimes I don't know whether to laugh at the absurdity of something or cry at the stupidity, weeping for the future of our race.
