NARAL Endorses Sexist Obama [Update]

UPDATE: 6:15 p.m. TONIGHT: Members of Congress To Hold Press Conference On Hillary’s Strong Pro-Choice Record (DETAILS AT END OF STORY)
__________
Washington, DC, elites convinced yet another Democratic interest group, NARAL “Pro-Choice” America, to endorse Barack Obama. Will Obama repudiate the support of this “interest group?” I doubt it, but I am sure he would ask Hillary or John Edwards to refuse the endorsement if NARAL would have acted in their interests and endorsed one of the other Democrats before the Iowa Caucuses. But then again, NARAL also endorses Republicans. Perhaps NARAL really is the joke everyone tells me it is.
And on the same day a group that ostensibly supports the rights of women endorsed a male candidate for President, that candidate decided to refer to a woman who holds the professional title of Reporter as “sweetie.”
Not only did “sweetie” never receive an answer to her question as Obama vainly pandered to lunch bucket Democrats who will never vote for him; “sweetie” and a lot of women who desire rights were betrayed by the organizations who should defend them. Remember that Obama voted PRESENT on choice legislation in the Illinois state Senate.
Also remember that Obama accompanied his wife to her job interview, as HE had to approve her employer before HE would allow her to undertake the position. I quote:
“I can remember sitting in [a restaurant] booth, with Barack on the other side, interrogating me in the nicest possible way,” Jarrett said.
“I can’t think of many people you hire who say, `I’d like you to meet my fiancé,’ but I would have done just about anything to get Michelle.”
And how can anyone ever forget Obama’s attempt to woo female reporters on his campaign plane by gratuitously straddling the aisle and placing his crotch on full display for all the “sweeties” in the press core.
Thank you, NARAL and Democrats. Thank you for reminding us once again that sexism will always trump competence and experience. Thank you once again for reminding us that the Democratic Party is a party in which women are “sweeties” who should never occupy positions of power.

I’ve posted on the NARAL site. They have already received thousands of angry posts. If you have something cogent to say, please post as well.
This is the letter I sent to NARAL today. I hope everyone writes or emails.
NARAL Pro-Choice America
1156 15th Street, N.W., Suite 700
Washington, D.C. 20005
Dear NARAL:
Your decision to endorse Senator Obama over Senator Clinton is beyond belief.
In politics, I learned long ago that there is no loyalty to anyone when questions of access, power and prestige are involved. For some idiotic reason, I believed that NARAL was better than that. You are not.
You know full well that Senator Clinton has done more for women’s rights, including abortion rights, than any other member of the Senate, and certainly far more than Senator Obama. When she was First Lady, the message that Hillary Clinton carried to the belly of the beast in Beijing at the World Conference on Women was awe-inspiring. Throughout her career, she has never wavered. Today, you demonstrated for all of the world to see that you have neither the courage nor the loyalty to support a strong, accomplished woman whose proven track record on your issues should have made your endorsement decision automatic and easy.
NARAL is no longer welcome in my house.
Fantastic letter, HonestLawyer.
God, I’m seething mad at the corruption and weak-willed stance of so many in the Dem establishment!
I’d trust your opinions and views, but I suspect you are really trolls. Neither of you made it so a person can respond to your blog, e-mail, etc.
Hey Irrational, you’re a lousy psychic!…and troll. By the way, I’ve been coming here for months and I’ve never seen your (oxymoronic) moniker before.
OK, you haven’t seen me on here before. There’s still not a link attached to your name. There is a link to mine. You’re welcome to visit my blog anytime.
Oxymoronic. Good description. If I’d had more patience I would have come up with a palindrome instead. Palindromic would be a more entertaining descriptive.
My post there…
From a poster at the NARAL site (luckily it’s the national office making the statement, not state offices)…
I’m speechless. I thought we’d come much further than this.
great post.
Thank you, Texas. I wrote it under extreme duress.
OT…I just heard on NPR : All things considered that John Edward is endorsing Obama…WTF IS UP WITH THAT !…..THE OBAMA GANG MUST BE FEEEELING REALLY DESPERATE…..AND EDWARDS JUST GOT A BIG AT CHECK FOR HIS NEW POPULIST INITIATIVE…..OH BROTHER…..
Edwards is connected to Trippi, and to Dean, and Axelrod.
Enough said, if it’s true, but I thought it would happen.
Someone on K** made a very cryptic post once saying Obama and Edwards cut a deal to stop Clinton, even before Edwards suspended his race.
At the time, I thought, garbage.
Now, I’m not so sure.
Too bad.
But it sure helps explain why Washington is so fucked up.
And next time you want to know WHY we went to war with Iraq, (and we can admit it was a disaster), look at this campaign, and how these politicians whore themselves.
Period.
Couldnt find their assholes with a map and a flashlight, and dumber than a brick.
See why Edwards was marginal, too?
yep yep yep
and HRC is for poverty czar and UHC and the working class
Edwards sold out and I am disgusted he did it live on tv at the same time Hill is having her conference and tv tour to celebrate her big win, they moved their big announcement just to cut into her airtime and throw her off
no class IMHO
I have my heels dug in DEEP for Hillary
ALL THE WAY TO DENVER AND THE WHITE HOUSE BABY
they are disgusting pricks - every last one of them. I’m praying for their downfall - please repubs - do not let us down in November!
Yes, indeed! That’s it. Edwards just sent a begging letter for his program today…hoping to collect even more before he loses face with the Hillary supporters.
I always thought he was a wimp! When wimpy kerry picked JE I saw Whimpy ONE and Whimpy TWO… I’d hear all his acolytes bragging about what a stand up guy he was……….. I saw his nasty whiny baby attitude during the debates. So did the rest of the population that’s why he had to drop OUT!!
All the losers rallying around their loser Messiah.
shameful - the lot of em!
I was talked IN to voting for Kerry in 04 (I plugged my nose) I won’t do it this year.
And Naral never spoke for me
nor did move on
or the pink ladies
or the rest of the groups hording for publicity!
My quiet protest is called my vote.
btw I leave the blog for a couple hours and all hell breaks loose!!! JEZZZz
AGREE…..I LIKED HIS WIFE THOUGH….
i will like Elizabeth Edwards if she would open her damn mouth and say “I don’t agree with my husband.”
On another note please spread the word to the other pro-women pro-Hillary blogs that the state chapters were NOT consulted.
Our New York chapter is getting deluged with calls. They are making it clear that here in New York, we love our Senator.
Money changes everything.
Wow. The level of anger over this surprises me. What kind of rhetoric would we see here if Edwards had endorsed Sen. Clinton?
my sentiments exactly…they can all f….off.
Well, they endorsed his mentor Joe Lieberman, so what do you expect. lol
NARAL never had integrity and removed my name from anything them YEARS ago.
john edwards is an opportunist pansy just like obama. he endorses the next day after obama loses the blue collar vote in wv ? how phony is that ? he is supposed to be for the poor and the working people, what a liar. this is so sinister, somethings wrong with this.
Yeah, I heard, if it’s true, this deal was made months ago, if fact, maybe Edwards was brought in to take votes away from Clinton, as a spoiler, from th start.
When wannabes game, right?
Didn’t see that one coming, now, did we?
WHEW!
just wait - Gore will do it next! I loved Gore, but I swear if he’s a spineless jerk like these other sexist pigs - he’s DEAD to me.
Sad to say, I think Gore is just another pol. Although he has taken his global warming crusade far and wide, and rightly deserves credit for that, I bet he is as ambitious and calculating as the rest of the establishment. An acquaintance of mine, who worked in the Clinton administration–had dealings from time to time with both Clinton and Gore…he loved Bill but never took to Gore, who he found elitist and cold. Interestingly, there was some vague reference to Gore stepping in to prevent some form of policy (penalty) against the tobacco companies in the ’90s, because of his state and family interests…
bamaoil
Edwards was brought in as a spoiler?
What kind of ignorant, retarded observation is that? We knew Edwards was going to run for President before Clinton.
Or maybe you don’t read the papers, and this blog site wasn’t there to give you all the information you believe in….
Go, work with the McCain campaign and take your friends from this blog with you. That’s where you belong.
Grow up, how are politics played?
Axlerod a stand up guy in your world?
heh.
You don’t consider it a possibility, you look ignorant,
give me break.
Mentally retarded people don’t deserve to be ridiculed by anyone, let alone so called progressives. It’s a favorite “trendy” insult from the KOS types.
You know what I realized today? All the Obots think Kansas Governor Kathleen Selebius should be his veep because she’s a nice girl. Like sugar and spice and all that what girls are supposed to me. It’s powerful women who “tear down the party” simply by being themselves.
God bless Stephanie Tubbs-Jones et al.
Un-freakin-believable.
And yet, not at all surprising.
I simply cannot understand how any self respecting woman can vote for this sexist pig. He is the reason his campaign is so rude to women. Shit rolls downhill. Fortunately, a HUGE block of women recognize that shit from people like this man rolls downhill into the workplace. They fought too hard for their rights to allow a misogynist to become president. They will be one more large group of voters who will help to defeat him if he gets to November. Unfortunately their daughters didn’t have to participate in the struggle for respect in the workplace, so they have no clue that Barack Obama is a huge Red Flag. Barack Obama is experienced at the art of subjugating women and putting them in “their places”. He bamboozles the young crowd because they don’t see signs of things they never experienced before.
Barack Obama has a major problem he is not going to be able to fix, mainly because of what he is, because, gratefully, the baby boomers are a large voting block. Those women will never vote for this sexist pig. That is also probably one of several why senior women hate him. They watched their daughters grow and achieve and succeed in the fight for respect and dignity. The other reason is they recognize bullcrap when they see it.
I have been around through plenty of elections, and one thing my circle of friends all agree on: We have never seen a presidential candidate who is more dangerous to the rights of women than Barack Obama. We are almost amazed at just how vile he is, way past submliminal even.
Women do not think the world is sexist their first few years in the workplace. It takes a few years, into your thirties, before you really see it. It took me until this campaign to see it’s been happening all along.
Have you noticed that the people endorsing him are all marginal talents, the worst the democratic party has to offer, to a person, the REASON the democrats have failed so catastrophically over the past 30 years, and will, again? .
” Our whole political and legislative process is biased towards oversimplified statements of problems and consequently not only oversimplified but unjust solutions…” Alasdair Macintyre. Power Industry Morality.
Appropo of OBAMA…..NO ?
I think the real reason we can’t elect more presidents is every decade, the far far fringe brings us these candidates that the middle cannot endure. The majority of the Democratic party is the most quiet …and they are moderates. That is why only one of our two presidents in the past 30 years served two terms. And they villify him for it besides. They just never learn.
AGREE….But then neither of OBAMAS’ PROFESSED FAITHS….Muslim or Wrights’ phony religion seems to favor Women as Equals do they….
it’s not related to this post
but
jeralyn merritt at TALK LEFT has a very important post up entitled
“another electibility argument regarding caucuses”
it discusses the importance of taking into account the votes of the elderly, especially elderly women, in assessing whether obama should get the demo nomination.
I just saw where two college aged “superdelegates” endorsed Obama. I cannot even tell you how much like 1972 this looks to the electorate. Adults all over the country are saying WTF??? Just like 72. I just plain hate to admit I am enjoying this.
Me, too, it’s hysterical watching those poor things try to game, and SHOCK! others.
Mediocre tubs of pudding top to bottm.
People wouldn’t do to Obama, or McCain, what they do to others, oh, no, never!
Obama deals with terrorist sympathizers.
Period.
Barack is digging himself deeper with working class women and with women women. When was the last time someone thought you’d love to be ‘complimented’ by some handsome married guy calling you sweetie? If he were in Berkelely he’d be run off the sidewalk with such a dismissive ‘one-size-fits-all’ non compliment. Especially when we get to ‘a certain age’ we’re supposed to be oh so grateful for the attention? There was no reason for NARAL to endorse so close to the end of voting other than to insult her, let her know they think it’s already over. Women, we’re our own second to worst enemies.
They will help do him in for sure. They Know.
For the record, I just heard the Race Card on TV again. I just love this.
Was it Pravda, or Tass?
Or is it Prada, fashion wear for the new age Italian/Russian fascist?
I forget.
But they look marvelous, don’t they, so telegenic…
Oh I can’t remember their names any longer. It’s a parade of Race Card screamers. I love it. America watches this over the dinner table and says Whoa! I ain’t putting up with THIS crap.
“bamaoil” and “Uppity Woman” have a tight call-and-response thing going on. Are you one and the same person?
I’m interested in your answer.
“….Liberty means responsibility…Most ( Women ) dread liberty…”
paraphrase of George Bernard Shaw. Maxims for Revolutionists
*I inserted the word Women because I felt it applied to Anneshanes lament*
barry promised edwards 400 dollar haircuts for life and he called elizabeth sweetie and that is why john endorsed him…these people are sick
anything to try and steal Hillary’s thunder of yesterday …
I hope she stays in till the convention. They have already destroyed the party so what the hell…let it play out… run its course and Coward Dean will have a breakdown on TV…fun for all
Purely for it’s shock value.
But when you know the deal was cut, maybe even years ago, it really doesn’t matter.And its so CUTE watching the lil things troll, like they have a big gotcha! up their sleeves.
Buzzy and Dean run a campaign, what predictable move will they make next?
God knows creativity and intellect are not on their side, all that narcissistic talent they’re trying to foist on the rest of us comprises their work force.
Bwhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
John Edwards did what he had to do in order not to be marginalized in the future. It’s politics. The real problem for Barry is in the voting booth. Because Americans don’t give a shit about party wheeling and dealing.
Here’s hoping he makes it to August without one of those skeletons falling out of the closet. Just saying.
Fox just covered Wrights magazine that barry says he didn’t know existed. Barack Obama has some real lying problems, considering his face is on the cover too.
Working women all over America watched Hillary trounce Obama yesterday and be marginalized for it. Just like in real life. This is just one more sign that Obama doesn’t get it. He doesn’t get a lot of things.
Well, of course FL & MI were punished beyond 50% to deprive Hillary a win and then BO played the race card in SC (who wasn’t punished) and Hillary wasn’t allowed to capitalize on her very real wins in MI & FL so the media narrative never let her be the front runner after New Hampshire. It was planned & excuted to minute detail by the Dean/Brazile/blogger boy/america-hating left/anti-Hillary media.
And it’s a laughable joke, let’s set them up in Iraq, next, they’re genius.
How does this help their corporate base?
They really think Obama’s election will solve their problems, the same way they did with Bush?
Yes, they do.
Silly kids.
Florida and Michigan Know. It’s over for him in those two states. he can jerk around about it all he wants. They don’t want him and they won’t help elect him.
I was on the way home from work and there was some talk radio guy on, a democrat, and the subject was gun control and he dropped the whole subject and went NUTS about the “sweetie” story. People were calling in with other times ob had done this and somebody faxed him some news reports covering it.
The radio guy’s name was Chris, he is local from North East PA, and he brought up how ob said the exact same thing over and over and he was outraged how this sexist pig was actually considered presidential material by some voters. He was begging for Obama supporters to call in and try to spin it away. Chris was aching to blast anybody that thought this type of talk was acceptable from any man to what he thought might have been the lone female PROFESSIONAL in the room with all these auto workers and his male entourage. He started out a little ticked off and worked up to fury.
I was saying “hell yeah, tell it” all the way.
My drive home was righteous!
I think the radio station was WILK (wilkes-barre)
I don’t listen to talk radio much but I will let him know how much I appreciated his rant.
Obama is joke, and so is his campaign.
Anything that comes out if it reads like a 1960’s comic book.
It’s a bore.
I love a good pro women man.
Good for that talk show host.
Buy the way, his true colors came out under stress. He had just given a speech and didn’t address those blue collar workers’ issues at ALL. The reporter wanted to corner him on it. So out slipped “sweetie” to put her in her place. That way, he didn’t have to answer.
John Edwards is a joke.
It’s too bad though because I used to have a high opinion of him–figured his clock was cleaned during the primaries because he was boring next to Clinton and Obama.
But it turns out the man is simply a hypocrite and a weenie.
To do this after Hillary’s crushing victory in WV just pushes me that much further away from the Democratic mafia.
I signed up on the McCain site.
June 1- June 8 = the week we all change our party affiliation to Independent or Republican.
I can hardly wait.
Why wait?
Why dont you wait for Clinton?
You think she’s out because of one weenie?
You lil trolls getting emotional.
What’s up?
Weird, you pushing McCain like this.
Shouldnt you wait?
right, yeah, right.
we hope doing it together in 1 week will show the party they need to address the platform
He really didn’t have a choice if he wanted to ever run again in NC.
Race is a club now, and they’re using it to make sure the politicians know who provides the butter, to butter the bread.
Was expecting this — along with the calls for “unity”.
Push 17 million voters along for a movie even Hollyweird wouldn’t dare produce. And guess what? Over half will go along with it (unless they see through the smoke and mirrors, which I doubt, as humans are a herd ever waiting to be eaten by others).
Ah you understand politics.
I am with you. Everybody do it please.
Apparently, the results in WVA truly have the boys worried if Edwards is now deciding to endorse. How very foolish to jump in at this stage.
WV told Rockefeller that the party isn’t going to tell them what to do.
The only people the party means something to are the people who need something or can parlay something. The rest of the people vote as they please. Always remember that.
Why are the trolls hysterical?
How strange.
HRC says we should support Obama is he is the nominee and not McCain. But I respectfully disagree.
I will not give my vote to Obama. He and his campaign embodies much of what I despise. But worse, he brings out the worst in people. It’s abominable.
There is no way I wish to be associated with him, his supporters or his friends.
The RNC is no friend and I dislike them as well.
But the DNC and the media need to learn a lesson. a “transformational lesson”. A lesson they need to remember for generations to come.
And I think 4 more years of sacrifice is worth to pay back the DNC and media for their sexism, bigotry and
hate. yes, the DNC and the media hate us, Clinton supporters. Make no mistake about it. They despise us, they insult us, and they constantly undermine us.
Well, I am as highly educated as they come and I wll not tolerate their trashing. I do not have to.
People will say voting for McCain is voting against our interests. Perhaps.
But I know clearly that: (1) I will vote
for the Dem. for Congress and hold them accountable to do their jobs (2) voting for Obama will definitely go against my interests as well.
So who do I want to be betrayed and screwed by? A fellow Dem. who couldn’t care less about me, my values, the needs of the people he is supposed to serve and whose damage (because he is a Dem.) would fatally wound the
Dems for a long time; or a Rep. ?
I would say a Rep.
At least I know what to expect from him and can blame him freely.
I am sorry Sen. Clinton but should you not be the nominee I will not “unite behind” such an embarrassing fraud under the Dem. banner: the DNC certainly does NOT deserve such loyalty.
As for NARAL; they are a joke. And if memory serves me last I heard of them they supported Alito.
Why are the trolls so hysterical, how weird…
Are you a troll?
Reads like he’s one, especially a GOPer who likes to splash rhetoric he seems to not understand TOO splash.
Can’t betray the ideology, no matter how thick the lipstick. They’ll be uncovered eventually.
Amen!
About NARAL’s endorsement.
As I said before, it’s ALL about special interests justifying their interest. The only way such a group could exist is if they can fill their coffers (i.e., have jobs) and influence (why those jobs exist).
They’re backing who has power to keep their jobs and influence.
And why I dislike special interest politics with a passion. It’s rarely about the subject matter when these groups get very large — it’s the hunger to dominate the agenda, and get the perks to do so.
As soon as I received the e-mail from NARAL, I unsubscribed & sent them a reason why.
I am so angry that I can hardly type. To endorse this empty incompetent over Hillary whose long history of support for the issues important for NARAL members equals none.
Is this country going nuts???
This is just beyond logic and reason
Business as usual: power and money.
In politics, that’s all that matters. Who or what is thrown under the bus, it doesn’t matter, because power needs money, and they’ll do anything to get it.
If it comes down to McCain or Obama …. I’m going with McCain. I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night knowing I gave Obama a vote. He’s a vile sexist racist pig. At least we know McCain would be a one term lame duck and then Hillary would be POTUS in 2012. The thought of Michelle Obama and Barry in the White House turns my stomach.
Wonder what Barry promised John Edwards? Cabinet position? VP?
He didn’t need to promise anything. All he needed to do is show NC demographics.
Edwards is cornered. If he endorsed Hillary, Home boyz career would’ve been finished in NC — and where could he resettle to get it back (SC has the same demographics)?
Bob Barr (L) is looking very good at the moment…….
Couldn’t he just have kept his damned mouth shut like he had been doing up to this point? What calamity could have trounced his future political or other carreer in North Carolina by saying that he was not choosing sides, and would whole-heartedly support the Democratic nominee, when that question was settled at the convention?
No. He got something. They all get something. Payday at the Obama residence.
Why is everyone so surprised? NARAL endorsed Joe Lieberman and helped give us Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito. Did you seriously think NARAL would endorse Hillary?
Look, there’s only one thing that matters to NARAL head Nancy Keenan–money. With NARAL endorsing the “presumptive nominee” she can go out and raise buckets of money (that she will do nothing but sit on).
NARAL is incompetent. They lost their credibility on pro-choice matters ages ago when they chose to support “Rape Gurney” Joe.
Yes, I thought they would support Hillary.
I expected they would. I am in shock over this.
Jaysus, I forgot about that. Glad I haven’t eaten yet.
yup…….it’s a nothing endorsement
Barack Obama is pro choice, but not really, but really. Have you ever heard him dance around this issue? It’s a blast. Barack Obama thinks he is all things to all people but in fact he is nothing to anybody. Because he is a pussy, just like Deval Patrick.
hahahahahahahahahaaaa
OMG! You nailed it!
of course he has to skew sexist to counter
the gay rumors.
NARAL…dead to me……
I’m a former tv/radio news reporter/producer and I’m incensed at BO’s “good-ole-boy” treatment of the female journalist. He’s a sexist PIG!
If BO dupes this country and becomes president and Iran threatens to attack us and Christiane Amanpour asks Obama what he plans to do, do you think he’ll say “we’ll have a presser in a minute, sweetie.”
effen NO he WON’T! this mofo makes my gut turn.
OBAMA TODAY IN MICHIGAN IS ASKED A QUESTION BY A FEMALE REPORTER AND HE’S RESPONDS, JUST A MINUTE SWEETIE. THIS IS SECOND TIME HE’S REFERRED TO WOMEN AS SWEETIE. THEN THERE IS THAT VIDEO OF MICHELLE OBAMA, ETC. EDWARDS ACTUALLY SAID A LOT OF NICE THINGS ABOUT HILLARY ALTHOUGH HIS TIMING IS A STAB IN THE BACK. HAD OBAMA SUPPORTERS HAD A SHRED OF INTEGRITY TO SPEAK THE SAME WAY THERE WOULDN’T BE THIS BACKLASH NOT TO MENTION A LOT OF THE TALKING HEADS FOR THE DNC. I’VE BEEN A VERY LIBERAL, PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRAT MY ENTIRE ADULT LIFE AND I WILL NEVER SUPPORT OBAMA BECAUSE OF HOW THEY HAVE RUN THEIR CAMPAIGN AND EVEN WORSE HOW HATEFUL A WING OF THE DNC IN THEIR ATTEMPT TO WRESTLE FOR POWER HAVE BASHED THE CLINTONS (THAT IS WHAT IS NOT GOOD FOR THE PARTY).HOW ANYONE CAN TALK ABOUT RACISM WHEN THE CLINTONS HAVE CLEARLY BEEN FIGHTING FOR AA WHEN OBAMA WAS JUST A CHILD. HILLARY CLINTON HAS BEEN FIGHTING FOR WOMEN, CHILDREN AND AFRICAN AMERICANS HER ENTIRE LIFE AND THIS GUY WALKS IN AND WILL BE GIVEN THE JOB WITH OUT PAYING ANY DUES TO ANY GROUP NOT EVEN THE AA. THAT IS TYPICAL SEXISM AND THE DNC IS EATING THERE OWN. EXCUSE THE CAPS BUT I’M MAD AS HELL AT THE IGNORANCE ONCE AGAIN IN THIS COUNTRY.
