It’s been a big day for Sarah Palin fans here in Southern California. According to the OC Register (Palin says it's time to 'take off the gloves'), the Perky One dropped by a Home Depot in Carson earlier today, where she told the crowd that “it was time to ‘put on the heels and take off the gloves.’”But get this: the woman who introduced Palin during the event was none other than the president of the LA chapter of NOW, Shelly Mandell!
"This is what a feminist looks like," Mandell told the crowd. "Like Gov. Sarah Palin."Palin later quoted another Democrat, Madeleine Albright: “There's a place in hell reserved for women who don't support other women,” said the Madwoman, evidently.
The Reg informs us that this rally was originally supposed to occur in Orange County. It was moved, but the fundraiser tonight in Costa Mesa (see below) was not.
Before leaving for Segerstrom Hall, Palin “complained,” says the Reg, about Katie Couric’s approach to her recent interview of Palin: "I wanted to say, let's just talk to the American people."
Near as I could tell, Couric's approach was to throw Palin a few softballs. So I guess the whole "Q & A" thing is out, 'cause it's unpatriotic or unamerican, or something.
Martin Wiskol (Palin’s O.C. fundraiser: Hundreds pay $10k for VIP session) just reported that the mad "feminist" fun continues here in Orange County:
Just got off the phone with state Sen. Dick Ackerman, R-Irvine. He’swaiting in line with his wife, Linda, to get his photo taken with Sarah Palin at the VIP reception that precedes the main event at Segerstrom Hall. That means they’re running way behind…. ¶ But I doubt the McCain campaign is complaining. Part of the reason things are moving slow is that, according to Ackerman, there are hundreds of people at the VIP reception, which cost most of them $10,000 to get in….

As usual left-wingers can count on Hollywood to come through with cash, even if it's some kind of "socialist" who's asking.
Yawn
STATEMENT FROM CALIFORNIA NATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR WOMEN PRESIDENT, PATRICIA BELLASALMA
On November 4th, California voters will go to the polls to cast their vote about the future of our state and our nation. The National Organization for Women Political Action Committee (NOW PAC) joined with many allied organizations representing a broad and diverse cross-section of U.S. women to endorse Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Both have long records of service, fighting to improve the rights of women, families, and working people. From voting rights to equal pay legislation to authoring and funding the Violence Against Women Act, it was clear to NOW PAC that the Obama/Biden ticket represents the best team for the kind of future we envision for women and girls.
A member and officer of the Los Angeles NOW chapter, Shelly Mandell, recently introduced Governor Sarah Palin at an event in Carson, California. Ms. Mandell was speaking as an individual and was not authorized to represent NOW, the NOW PAC or LA NOW in any capacity in connection with a federal candidate endorsement. As NOW President Kim Gandy said upon Palin’s selection, "Not every woman supports women's rights."
The use of Shelly Mandell’s Los Angeles NOW title was apparently intended to mislead the public, and indeed has resulted in local television outlets and internet reports misstating that LA NOW has “endorsed” Sarah Palin or that she has a record of supporting women’s rights. This in fact is not the case.
As President of California NOW and as a member and officer of Los Angeles NOW, I can assure you that there is no local or state affiliate of NOW, including LA NOW, which endorses or supports the McCain/Palin ticket. John McCain and Sarah Palin oppose many of the rights and freedoms we have fought for throughout NOW's 42 years, and we will not be pushed back to the days of back-alley abortions, forced pregnancies, and pay discrimination without remedy.
Nor will we let the media distractions deter our members and activists from our organizing for freedom and equality for all women, putting our hopes and our dreams, our hard work and our hard-earned money, behind a proven team for women: the next President of the United States – Barack Obama – and his running mate, longtime friend and ally of women, Sen. Joe Biden. With equal ferocity we will fight to protect young women by defeating Proposition 4 and to keep bigotry and discrimination out of our state constitution by defeating Proposition 8 here in California.
so let me understand this: a feminist - believing in equality socially, politically, and economically, - MUST vote for another woman - what?????? In fact, feminists believe in equality, that means we vote for and support the BEST person , not the gender - that sets us back a million years.
Again, as a woman, Palin has offended me - and again, and again, and again.
clearly, I wrote my comment - I am 3:28 - before I saw the above statement in the comment section. I am relieved.
