Sweet Identity Politics At Its Best.
The ladies, if we can call them that, at NOW are absolutely outraged that the bloviating blow hard of the Senate, Ted Kennedy, endorsed Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton and say it is because, gasp, she's a woman. It appears the whole Kennedy clan has gone to Obama, could this really mean the end of the Clintons?
Hat tip to Hot Air for this juicy morsel. It has long been noted that those that live by identity politics, die by identity politics. I think Obama will be tougher to beat in the general election but it will still be sweet to see the Clintons relegated to the sewer of history. I very seriously doubt that we will see Obama and Clinton on the same ticket since they very clearly hate each other intensely. Hillary can't stand the fact that this fresh young upstart is raining on her coronation and Barack is incensed that they played the race card. Barack is a hard-core leftist to be sure but he is good and decent, likeable guy and has tried to take the high road while the Clintons have done their best to pull him into the gutter with them. Eventhough he will be tough to beat, I am pulling for him to beat the Clintons and have a race on the issues not on Hillary's baggage. This is just one of the many reasons I favor Mitt is his firm grasp of the issues.
Women have just experienced the ultimate betrayal. Senator Kennedy’s endorsement of Hillary Clinton’s opponent in the Democratic presidential primary campaign has really hit women hard. Women have forgiven Kennedy, stuck up for him, stood by him, hushed the fact that he was late in his support of Title IX, the ERA, the Family Leave and Medical Act to name a few…
And now the greatest betrayal! We are repaid with his abandonment! 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 (they will of course say they support a woman president, just not “this” one)…
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.”

HRC cannot pull the victimized woman card without the media hammering her. But her surogates can. Now all the disdain is aimed at Pappas and NOW but not at her. The message still gets out though. But in this case, I think it is backfiring. Women accross America are pissed and threatening to drop their NOW memberships in retaliation to this feminist idiot. I love to watch this stuff. It is like watching full contact sports. OOOOOOOOHHHHHHH!
