Bill Maher, who is allegedly a comedian, recently made a very tasteless, sexist comment directed towards Sarah Palin.
The silence from the left was deafening. Had the speaker been a conservative, the firestorm would have been immediate and intense. The left would have demanded the conservative apologize, lose their job, attend sensitivity training and come out in favor of everything on the loony feminist agenda.
From NOW, at first silence. Then they finally said they would denounce Maher for what he said but then said, “we are on to you, you right wingers.”
Where does someone start with this? Maher is a talentless hack. If he were not a liberal, no one would even pay attention to him. Of course, for NOW, it is the seventh circle of hell that they have to step out and defend Sarah Palin. Maher is a part of the liberal establishment so he is able to get away with such stupid and offensive comments.
Double standards are mandatory for liberals. They do not want to defend Sarah Palin. After all, she is everything they are not. She is talented, intelligent, worked her way up using her own brains and talent and does not look like a reject from a Texas cattle stockyard.
Of course, NOW is nothing more than an arm of the liberal establishment. They only came out in defense of Sarah Palin because they had to. Conservatives called them on this. Conservatives followed Alinsky’s playbook, making liberals live up to their own ideals.
Watching NOW, or as Rush Limbaugh likes to call them, the NAGs, National Association of Gals, go through contortions to make sure they were not to hard on a liberal was really amusing. They had to make sure in their comments they were not endorsing Palin. I can almost imagine the writer of the press release holding it out at arm’s length so that none of the Palin germs got anywhere near her.
NOW has a long and disgusting record of double standards. They ignored Jerry Brown’s staffer calling Meg Whitman a “whore” last year during the California Governor’s race. Sexist remarks against conservative women get a pass as long as the speaker is a liberal. NOW will not even stand up against allegations of sexual assault, as long as the alleged perpetrator is a liberal. When Juanita Broderick claimed Bill Clinton raped her and had some credible evidence to back up the claim, NOW was silent. When Anita Hill made extremely weak charges of sexual harassment against Clarence Thomas, NOW was all over them. There were demands that Thomas withdraw his nomination, all because he was a conservative. Had he been a liberal and supported abortion, he could have been a serial rapist for all they would have cared.
It is hard to take NOW seriously any more. They are truly a joke. The good news is there is a wave of conservative women led by Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann who do not need to hide behind such a fringe group and who really put theories of equality into practice.
Meanwhile, NOW becomes little more than the punch line on a joke told by a talentless comedian.
