NOW: forced to condemn Maher for sexist Palin joke... a waste of our time, they are busy defending abortion.....

You can only be defended by NOW if you support abortion. Alleged comedian Bill Maher attempts a  joke about Sarah Palin that is clearly sexist but when Fox News contacted National Organization for Women (NOW)  for  comment, they refused  stating they have a policy not to talk to Fox News. Now that's grown up!  After pressure, they finally released a statement showing their linguistic talent.
"Listen, supposedly progressive men (ok, and women, too): Cut the crap! Stop degrading women with whom you disagree and/or don’t like by using female body terms or other gender-associated slurs."
Clearly annoyed that they were called on  the carpet over this they had to send their parting shot to those nasty conservatives...
“You’re trying to take up our time getting us to defend your friend, Sarah Palin. If you keep us busy defending her, we have less time to defend women’s bodies from the onslaught of reproductive rights attacks and other threats to our freedom, safety, livelihood, etc,” wrote Bennett. “Sorry, but we can’t defend Palin or even Hillary Clinton from every sexist insult hurled at them in the media. That task would be impossible, and it would consume us. You know this would not be a productive way to fight for women’s equal rights, which is why you want us stuck in this morass."
So hard to be defending women of all political persuasions and  OMG imagine  having to give a comment to a network you despise. They should just change their name to National Organization for Abortions Supporting Women(NOASW). Then they would not have to waste  their time trying to defend those of like gender they despise .

That's about as "grown up" as Sarah palin refusing to talk to any media EXCEPT Fox News, Susie! At least NOW's is on principle. Plain's is because she doen't want everyone to know (like they don't already) that she really doesn't know much.
