Tammy Bruce-right wing nut used to be the head of the LA chapter on NOW.

just sayin.

1. Not only that, she's a book burner too

2. Yep. I was a member when she was the head of LA NOW.

She seemed more of an opportunist back then.

8. Is NOW-LA some kind of weird alternate-universe version of NOW?

SO odd that in LA, of all places, there would be not ONE, but TWO heads that are clearly ANTI-feminist.

*head explodes*

9. Tammy Bruce seemed to be using NOW as a career stepping stone IMHO

Apparently they don't have to be true feminist to get the top job...just pretend to be so.

10. It's LA. Primary source of "hot chicks" and "Hos" and all the other demeaning popular culture

indoctrination. Also the city the term "plastic people" was coined for. Also one of the epicenters of Amerikan anti-intellectualism. This is the city that brings us "Desperate Housewives", "American Idol", and so forth.

3. Can you check this thread out and debunk, if necessary?

4. Already done

It's for real. First video, http://truthreportnow.wordpress.com/2008/10/05/nows-la-president-shelly-mandell-america-this-is-what-a-feminist-looks-like/

5. so...if true...as women we've progressed how far in the past century? WOW!

I can not believe we have people in power at NOW who support Sarah Palin!!!! This is a wake up moment for me!

6. I left a message at the national headquarters expressing my disgust.

7. I'm glad at least that she's left the Democratic party

and now calls herself an independent. For years on her show, she's repeatedly stated that she's an ardent Democrat, all the while expressing some of the most extreme right wing views possible and with nary a positive word spoken about Democratic candidates.

11. Book burners have no place in our party

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

12. I guess this isn't the one...

that accused Obama and Edwards of gang-raping Hillary Clinton?

[KamaAina]

13. Huh? Is she Whore-owitz's sister or something?

:shrug:

14. Bottom Line: Palin's politics harms women

I cannot wrap myself around the idea that any feminist would back Palin! Something is crazy...I fell in the rabbit hole.
