NOW Blasts Kennedy For Obama Endorsement

The New York state chapter of the National Organization for Women blasts Ted Kennedy for not supporting Hillary Clinton and instead backing Barack Obama, reports James Taranto in the Wall Street Journal.

(T)he New York state chapter of the political fringe group National Organization for Women put out a statement yesterday blasting Ted Kennedy for endorsing Obama:

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. . . .

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). “They” are Howard Dean and Jim Dean (Yup! That’s Howard’s brother) who run DFA (that’s the group and list from the Dean campaign that we women helped start and grow). “They” are Alternet, Progressive Democrats of America, democrats.com, Kucinich lovers and all the other groups that take women’s money, say they’ll do feminist and women’s rights issues one of these days, and conveniently forget to mention women and children when they talk about poverty or human needs or America’s future.
