An aide for California's Leftist Jerry Brown -- who is running for governor -- called a conservative opponent of Brown (Meg Whitman) a "whore" -- typical Leftist abuse, of course.
NOW initially objected to that word usage but now says that it is OK really. If a Republican had used it about a Democrat, however, you can imagine the sparks flying
"Minutes after we posted our riff on the National Organization for Women prez calling out the Jerry Brown campaign for its use of the word "whore" we received an, ahem, "clarification" from national NOW prez Terry O'Neill on what she said she "should have said" on the matter.
"We are not saying anyone on the Brown campaign be fired," O'Neill said. "What I should have made clear was that anyone who says the 'W' word from here on should be fired. What happened last week was a teachable moment for all of us. We can all agree that the word is offensive and should be retired."

Just more Leftist hypocrisy and double-standards.
Nothing to see here, move along.

No, can't move along yet. John has this blog to showcase hypocrisy related to speech. I think this 'teachable moment' is worth discussing a bit more.
Presumably, NOW's position was that for one racial gaffe that Trent Lott shouldn't have been forced out of his post?
Likewise, I'm sure they are against Gloria Allred's campaign against Meg Whitman, seeing how this is the first time she's been caught employing an illegal alien?
Remember from now on, everyone, including conservatives then, gets one free pass.
NOW isn't and never has been relevant to current culture. NO body talks about them anymore, good riddance.

It is only a "teachable moment" if those who need to be taught will actually learn. In this case, not gonna happen.
