How dare the National Organization for Women NY Chapter attack Ted Kennedy


The NOW (National Organization for Women) NY tate chapter, and their President Marcia Pappas are attacking Ted Kennedy for his endorsement of Barak Obama, calling it "the greatest betrayal." Are these Idiots on drugs or something? Ted Kennedy has always supported the bills that favor women. From choice, to women's rights etc. Their biggest complaint is that he was late in supporting "Title IX, the ERA, the Family Leave and Medical Act." He supported it you morons. they complaint that Ted Kennedy voted yes on no child left behind, but vote smart reports that so did Hillary Clinton. Barack Obama has criticized it.


I am angry at NOW New York Chapter and Mrs Pappas. How dare they attack Ted Kennedy? It is time for Marcia Pappas to understand that support for women comes from people from both sexes, as do attacks on women. What ever a person has between their legs does not define character. IMHO Senator Kennedy has been a champion for women, and who he supports for president does not diminish his record. Would you say Caroline Kennedy betrayed women too? or does she get a pass because she is a woman?


I am glad to say though that the President of NOW, Kim Gandy released the following statement "The National Organization for Women has enormous respect and admiration for Sen. Edward Kennedy (D- Mass.). For decades Sen. Kennedy has been a friend of NOW, and a leader and fighter for women's civil and reproductive rights, and his record shows that.
Though the National Organization for Women Political Action Committee has proudly endorsed Sen. Hillary Clinton for president, we respect Sen. Kennedy's endorsement. We continue to encourage women everywhere to express their opinions and exercise their right to vote. "


So I guess stupidity is isolated to the New York chapter of NOW, well maybe it is just Mrs. Pappas
