I thought NOW already endorsed Obama-Biden, or maybe it was just their political action committee.

In any case, she's just another lizard alien with a feminist human face mask like those smiling invaders in 'V.'

She is! She IS from V! I'm going to start calling her Diana.

NOW has, indeed, already endorsed the Obama-McCain ticket. I am gonna guess that Shelly Mandell's days as the LA chapter president are numbered.

I would also bet that she is originally from Orange County.

I meant to say Biden, obviously. This election has me upset.

@4

'Dogs and cats, living together!'

Everyone's a little on edge. At least I haven't started dreaming about erotic cakes shaped like McCain going to the bathroom yet.

Actually a little relieved to not be watching the debates tonight.

She's a divorce attorney. Her NOW chapter joined national NOW in slamming Kennedy for endorsing Obama over Clinton back in January. She's never donated a penny to Obama.

Tikkun Olam - attacking Sarah Palin for being a Christian Pig. As I've posted before Sandra Bernherd stated "Sarah Palin needs to be gang raped by black thugs".

As Jewish feminists it is our duty to join in the chorus demaning Sarah Palin be ganged raped. It is calling for justice.

Bigotry and intolerance of other people's opinions is what Sarah Palin is all about. She is not even a woman, she is a pig, so how can Sarah Palin be a feminist?

The way things have been going lately, it's almost as if vaginas HAVE been revoked.

Anyone know where I can find me an ethical slut?

yeah, i'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that this lady's not gonna have a job pretty soon.

she cannot be serious calling sarah palin a feminist. that's like calling strom thurman a civil rights pioneer.

She's a woman, and she's voting for Sarah Palin because she's a woman. It obviously doesn't matter to her what McCain/Palin's policy positions are.

Nobody said all feminists are smart.

lol, I didn't know someone made my mom the head of the NOW chapter in Los Angeles, although with the degree of passive racism in the white parts of greater L.A., it's not that surprising.

“Intellectual Honesty”? Is that republican double speak for “Party-line spewing spokes whore”?

Sometimes the people at NOW make it very hard to support them. Remember when they wanted to ban porn? I mean, stupid.

@8: Issur, how many posts is this now from you about Mrs Palin ought to be gang-raped? Six, I believe ... ? Now there's a position that any feminist could agree with!

With supporters like that on one side, I can't say I'm surprised that Ms Mandell has come down on the other.

Just to clarify: NOW supports Obama/Biden.

California's NOW President, Patty Bellasalma, issued a statement that says, in part:

"The use of Shelly Mandell’s Los Angeles NOW title was apparently intended to mislead the public, and indeed has resulted in local television outlets and internet reports misstating that LA NOW has “endorsed” Sarah Palin or that she has a record of supporting women’s rights."

"As President of California NOW and as a member and officer of Los Angeles NOW, I can assure you that there is no local or state affiliate of NOW, including LA NOW, which endorses or supports the McCain/Palin ticket."

Hilarious that the moron @21 doesn't even realize that Issur is a troll.

If there's anything less relevant than NOW, it's the Los Angeles chapter of NOW, headed up by a racist bitch.

@23: thanks, I know a troll when I see one. But I recognise outstanding achievement in any field. Just my way of commenting on this one's singular loudness and stridency.
