Gay Marriage Is Legal in CA, So Ellen Is Getting Married! (Video)

Let me say that again, now that gay marriage is LEGAL in California, Ellen is getting married! Like they say, as California goes, so goes the nation!

Ellen: I Am Getting Married

LOS ANGELES - Ellen DeGeneres and longtime girlfriend Portia de Rossi are jumping at the chance to get married. DeGeneres announced their engagement during a Thursday taping of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," telling the studio audience the news that the California Supreme Court had struck down state laws against gay marriage.

"So I would like to say now, for the first time, I am announcing: I am getting married," she said during the show, airing Friday. The studio audience leapt to its feet for a long ovation, and De Rossi ("Ally McBeal," "Nip/Tuck") was sitting in the audience, beaming and clapping.

Women Stand Up for Hillary

Women respond to the loud bullies in the male-biased media, who are so devoted to The Chosen One, by standing up for Hillary with full page ads across the country. Not So Fast, the full-page ad in yesterday's USA TODAY reads:

Hillary's voice is OUR voice, and she's speaking for all of us.

We are the women of this nation. We are rich and poor, young and old, married with kids, married without kids, single moms, gay, straight, and widowed. We are every color. We are of every religion. We are from all political parties.

We love our country. Now more than ever, so much of what we cherish is at risk – our homes and our health, our safety and our planet, our children and our values. We raise our voices, in one glorious, defiant chorus, to tell the world that these times demand strength, courage and vision.

And that is why we stand united in our unwavering support for Hillary Clinton.

We want Hillary to stay in this race until every vote is cast, every vote is counted, and we know that our voices are heard.

The ad was paid for by Women Count PAC, a newly formed political action committee which is running similar ads across the country. Women Count was created "to ensure that the 51% of American citizens who are women have their values and votes counted in the political process." via Riverdaughter

Little Sweeties Threaten to Boycott Obama (Video)

Clinton Supporters Count Too -- The new group is outraged about the misogyny and is prepared to actively campaign against Obama. The newly formed PAC called WomenCount has raised $170,000 in just 48 hours to run ads in major newspapers.

What if all the women who are enraged by the misogyny, by the outrageous in-your-face irrational hatred of Hillary Rodham Clinton, voted, or not, as a bloc? Women are the majority of Democratic voters. Everywhere I go I hear women vow they won't vote for Obama.

Oh, but that's just talk, right? I mean, why would anyone take us little sweeties seriously?

ABC NEWS:"We have a plan to campaign against the Democratic nominee," the group said in a press release Thursday. "We have the (wo)manpower and the money to make our threat real. And there are millions of supporters who will back us up in the swing states. If you don’t listen to our voice now, you will hear from us later."

Ruccia tells ABC News that she believes "millions" of women share her group's views, though they have only begun to make contact with like-minded women. They're disgusted, she said, that Democratic Party leaders haven't more aggressively denounced sexist media comments and coverage in the campaign, and are angry at the drumbeat for Clinton to get out of the race.

"We're just at the boiling point," Ruccia said. "Women will sit back and be quiet about things for a while, but we've had enough. Unless Hillary Clinton is our nominee, we are not going to support the nominee." Part of their plan, she said, is a primary-night boycott of NBC and MSNBC during next Tuesday's primaries in Kentucky and Oregon, particularly to protest comments made by Chris Matthews and David Shuster that her group feels were sexist.

Women Threaten to Boycott Obama

Columbus Dispatch: During a news conference at Broad and High streets in Columbus today, supporters said the New York senator has been pounded by sexist insults, her superior credentials ignored while Democratic leaders have remained silent. “Our party has been witness to the most outrageous display of misogyny and sexism in modern campaign history,” said Cynthia Ruccia, a former congressional candidate from Columbus and Clinton supporter. “If Sen. Barack Obama is our party's candidate, we will actively campaign against him.”

Mary E. Davis, a 65-year-old retired judge from Pittsburgh, said she will vote for Republican Sen. John McCain, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, if Clinton is not on the November ballot. Davis said Clinton's credentials have been disregarded as party leaders try “bullying her out” of the race. “One candidate is well-qualified. The other candidate is not well-qualified, but the qualified candidate happens to be a woman,” Davis said, referring to the Democratic contest between Clinton and Obama.

TalkLeft Comments: But, of course, there's no need to appease women voters, we'll fall in line like the good little sweeties we are. Just threaten us with Roe and tell us we have no other choice. Screw that. I have a choice. Loyalty is a two-way street and if they want my vote, they're going to have to ask for it. And even then they might not get it. I am that angry. Of course, these entitled men have no idea how angry a lot of women are because they do not think about us or worry about us as a voting bloc. Just as the party leadership does not feel the need to fight misogyny. It's a given we'll vote democratic until, of course, we don't. The latest Rasmussen poll has 29% of democrats saying if Clinton isn't the nominee, she should make a third party run. Any bets on how many of that 29% are women?

UPDATE - Donna Darko: Radio Talk Show Host Steve Corbett from Hillary’s home town in PA Has launch a mass campaign called OPERATION TURN DOWN letting the DNC know we will TURN DOWN OBAMA. we Will NOT vote from him under Any circumstance and he talks about their treatment of Sen Clinton. People called in from all over the states saying NO OBAMA. Hillary supporters now have a voice that will reach MILLIONS. Tomorrow OPERATION TURN DOWN continues at 3 p.m est this is going to grow MASSIVE.

Enraged About the Misogyny: This One's for YOU Howard Dean

Misogyny I Won't Miss, Quote of the Day

I will not miss the deafening, depressing silence of Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean or other leading Democrats, who to my knowledge (with the exception of Sen. Barbara Mikulski of Maryland) haven’t publicly uttered a word of outrage at the unrelenting, sex-based hate that has been hurled at a former first lady and two-term senator from New York. Among those holding their tongues are hundreds of Democrats for whom Clinton has campaigned and raised millions of dollars.

NARAL Endorsement of Obama Enrages Pro Choicers

NARAL Pro-Choice America appears to be on a suicide mission. After Hillary Rodham Clinton's very long record of fighting for choice, NARAL endorsed the cool dude with the thin resume. Is NARAL run by teens or what?

Among the many who were quick to condemn NARAL's foolish endorsement were the National Women's Political Caucus, EMILY'S List president, Ellen Malcolm, and a dozen plus congresswomen. The congresswomen held a press conference for the purpose of condemning NARAL's action:

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz said "we feel abandoned by this organization today."

Rep. Jane Harman called it "a betrayal."

But the real excitement is over at the NARAL blog, where there are some 3,000 angry comments like the ones below. NARAL might consider a baked goods sale the next time it needs money.

I have never been so disgusted. How dare you claim to represent pro-choice women and then turn your back on one of the most influential women's right advocates in recent history? I am a lifelong activist and I will never, never forgive you for this. Hillary has been a champion for women's rights. Remember ICPD? Remember VAWA? What has Obama done that can hold a candle to her record? Nothing. He has not one comparable achievement. History will not treat you kindly. You'll be remembered as part of the howling mob who tried to tear apart the woman who dared reach for the highest office in the land. And for what? You know Obama is wishy-washy on choice. He never mentions women's issues. He clearly will not be a leader for us. Shame on you. Shame shame shame.

I am outraged. This is absolutely ridiculous. I will never give money or support to NARAL again. Shame on you. Hillary Clinton has worked her entire life for women's rights and to keep abortion legal in America. This is insulting and a slap in a face to her career and to all women. Shame on you.

Shame on NARAL. Hillary Clinton has an unequivocal, strong and unquestioned position on choice. Obama has been trying to be "in the middle" on this issue as on every other issue. For you to turn your back on the most viable woman candidate before the primary season is over is an outrage. You are joining too many men in the Democratic party who would rather lose an election than nominate a woman.

Why settle for thirty years of fighting for women's rights when you can have 'present' votes and obscure statements of 'support' from Obama? To say this is a low point for NARAL is an understatement. I will need to consider alternative vehicles for my contributions toward women's reproductive rights.

I'm extremely upset, and ashamed. You just lost all my support, membership, and donations. - How can we get removed from future mailings? How can I have contributions refunded?

NARAL has completely lost my support. You have confirmed my long-held contention that feminism in this country is truly dead. I hope your organization can continue to operate with Obama's new coalition...you're gonna need it.

I just wish I never wrote NARAL a check! I will never support NARAL again. Now, my money will go to EMILYs list or Planned Parenthood. Shame on you.

Et tu Brute! That's quite a blow to your gender and delivered at a prime time in the campaign, too. The most rabid woman haters could not have done more damage.

Fools! Kiss your donation goodbye! I'm ashamed to say I ever served on the NARAL board in PA. Take me off all of your lists... emails / phone calls begging for money - you are OUT - if I get one call or harrassment / I'll take legal action.

Meanwhile NARAL affiliates are distancing themselves from the NARAL Pro-Choice America endorsement. Apparently they were not consulted or on board with the divisive decision. "NARAL groups in Pennsylvania, Missouri, Oregon, Washington, Texas and New York -- Clinton's home state -- have issued statements . . emphasizing that the national group did not speak for them."

HillBuzz has the contact info for NARAL.

Edwards Endorses Obama in Snide Effort to Kill Hillary's West Virginia News Cycle

The day after Hillary Clinton trounced Obama in West Virginia (41 points!), John Edwards decided (with a little help from Axelrod) that it was time to accede to the wishes of the party elders and endorse Obama. Harry and Louise will be overjoyed.

The timing was meant to unify exactly who? Because the timing was, in fact, a snide and divisive tactic, the kind of tactic one would expect from an inconsiderate bully. But we're so glad that Mr. Hope is practicing the New Politics.

On cue, as John Edwards addressed the crowd, Obama's supporters were accorded their usual Two Minutes Hate ritual as they erupted into angry loud boos at the name of their most mortal and hateful enemy, Hillary Clinton.

Gawker's take:

The timing of the endorsement certainly shouldn't improve Edwards' reputation as a slick, ambulance-chasing lawyer. He waited until the Democratic presidential hopeful had a virtual lock on the nomination, but not so long that his endorsement would be totally useless. Thus, he preserved the chance to be a part of Hillary Clinton's cabinet for as long as that looked possible, but still managed to score some points with Obama.

Or as Edwards' aides admit, the man wants a job, vice president, attorney general, cabinet position, but first, Edwards must pose for some working-class Kentucky tv ads. I suppose an endorsement of Hillary by Elizabeth Edwards is too much to hope for. Do the wives of politicians ever speak their own minds?

Photo of Obama as Messiah from an actual Oregon newspaper endorsement! Update: Okay, so it appears to be satire but who can tell in these pigs-flying days? Speaking of Oregon, Obama ads are reportedly running at a rate of 4 per hour.

Bush Strives to Unite Democrats by Attacking Obama

Apparently, George Bush is still on the planet. Now the Commander Guy is scheming to unite Democrats. The beloved pResident utilized his visit to Jerusalem to deride Barack Obama and assorted Democrats.

Who else but Bush would use the world stage to attack his political rivals at home? Is the world laughing at us again? Bush opined about a subject he knows very well - delusions:

"Some seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along," said Bush, in what White House aides privately acknowledged was a reference to calls by Obama and other Democrats for the U.S. president to sit down for talks with leaders like Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

"We have heard this foolish delusion before," Bush said in remarks to the Israeli Knesset. "As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American Senator declared: 'Lord, if only I could have talked to Hitler, all of this might have been avoided.' We have an obligation to call this what it is — the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history."

Why This Woman Will Not Vote for Barack Obama

In case you missed it, Violet Socks over at Reclusive Leftist said it best:

Why I will not vote for Obama even if he’s the nominee — and why you shouldn’t either:

[T]he Obamabots don’t seem to understand. And I know why: it’s because they don’t take sexism seriously. When women say we will not reward misogyny, we’re laughed off. The Obamabots just tell more jokes and hurl more insults and write more crass articles about how the little lay-dees have their little pan-tees in a twist.

The only “ism” the Obamabots take seriously is racism. So I’m going to try to explain the situation in terms they’ll understand, using a racial analogy.

Imagine this scenario:
The shoe is on the other foot, and Obama, not Hillary, is the punching bag of the media — a media that is blatantly and unapologetically racist. And I do mean blatant. Jokes every night on the cable news shows about Obama’s hair and his fondness for fried chicken. Pundits laughing about what a problem uppity Negroes are.

Across the country, racists openly ridicule Obama and his candidacy. In mainstream stores there are gag gifts playing on racist themes: maybe a (water)Melon Baller with Obama’s head on the handle, maybe a Barack Obama Shoeshine Set — you get the picture. 501c groups invoke the most grotesque racist slurs with their advertising; T-shirts say “Quit Running for President and Shine My Shoes!” Anybody who protests is branded a fool and a spoilsport. . .

Hillary goes out of her way to say how much she admires and respects those Republicans who don’t think African-Americans should have the right to vote. She says judges with a record of opposing voting rights are good candidates for the nation’s benches — even the Supreme Court. . . And the Democratic Party goes along with all this, pushing Hillary as the nominee, ignoring the anger of African-American voters, smugly assuming that they’ll “come back to the fold” by November. After all, say the pundits and the Blogger Boyz, where else are they going to go? The Republicans are even worse.

If Barack Obama and his supporters become the new Democratic party, then the Democratic party will no longer be the party of women’s rights. . .All the sexism of this campaign will be rewarded instead of repudiated. And that Democratic party will not deserve my vote.

Go on, Democrats, try to get elected without me. . . . read more

Gender Gap Continues: Hillary Wins 73% of West Virginia Women Voters

Last night, the 'Presumptive Nominee' lost the West Virginia Democratic primary by 41 points. Hillary Rodham Clinton won 67% of the votes, Obama claimed 26%. She won by a landslide, but as we know the media continues to proclaim the race over. But still she continues.

You would have to be an absolute fool not to recognize the awesome courage of Hillary Rodham Clinton. Or you might be someone who only recognizes courage when it can be best described as manly.

Like the other states, West Virginia saw a pronounced gender gap in the preferences of voters.

Hillary won 73% of the female vote and 60% of the male vote for a gender gap of 13 points. That puts West Virginia in the same league with states like California and Massachusetts. Both these states saw gender gaps of 14 points.

It is a testimony to the low status of women in this country that the media narratives revolve relentlessly around race and class. Rarely do they recall the gendered dimension of an election involving the first woman in the nation's history to have a shot at the presidency. We had a race speech, and the nation patted itself on the back. We didn't have a gender speech because it would be just one more opportunity for the boys to jeer, ridicule, and laugh at Hillary for daring to play the gender card.

It's painfully evident that the feminist dream of putting a woman into the White House as something other than somebody's wife is not exactly the cherished dream of the boys in charge of the media. Nor is it the dream of those in charge of the Democratic Party. They didn't want us to win the right to vote either.

Women are the majority of the electorate nationwide. In West Virginia 55% of voters were women, 45% were men. Other states have seen greater gaps in the number of male and female voters. In Massachusetts, the total number of women voters was 58% compared to 42% male. In California, that was 54% female and 46% male.

With numbers like these, one might think that the first woman in the history of the nation to have a shot at the presidency would get a little respect. Obviously, one would be a fool to think that. The worst crime of all is the silence. Those who have the power to speak out against the misogyny, against the national pastime of belittling and ridiculing and hating the woman candidate - in ways that are never done to men - are silent. Barack Obama, as the number one beneficiary of the misogyny, is the guiltiest of all.

Politics as a majority male sport sucks. It is crude, rude and hateful. It is just like MSNBC. It is a politics that lives with outrages like misogyny and outrages like a filthy rich nation boasting the highest child poverty rate in the industrialized world.

Hillary has not given up. Until she does, I won't either. Contribute to Hillary's historic campaign.


"No one sex can govern alone. I believe that one of the reasons why civilization has failed so lamentably is that is had one-sided government. . . Women have got to make the world safe for men since men have made it so darned unsafe for women. "

West Virginia: 59% of Hillary Voters Will NOT Vote for Obama

And the backlash against the misogyny picks up steam.

According to the early West Virginia exit polls, 59 percent of Hillary Rodham Clinton's voters will NOT vote for Obama in the general. Thirty-five percent of Hillary's voters said that if Obama gets the nomination, they will vote for McCain. Twenty-four percent said they will stay home.

Thirty six percent of Hillary's voters said they will vote for Obama.

If Hillary gets the nod, fifty one percent of Obama’s voters said they will vote for Hillary in the general. Thirty-one percent said they will vote for McCain and 14 percent will not vote.

Over half, 51 percent, of West Virginia voters said they think Obama shares the views of his former pastor, Jeremiah Wright. Sixty two percent said that Bill Clinton’s campaigning in the state was an important factor in their vote. And 70 percent of Clinton voters said they think the race should continue.

CNN is reporting that Hillary is getting 55% 71% of the female vote. Wow! Obama got 27%.

WVA Primary: Obama Loses & Biased Pundits Cry Boo-hoo

Well, the pundits will be in fine furious mode today. The Precious is set to lose West Virginia and in a very big way. I know you will be thrilled to hear that Olbermann, Matthews, Russert and all the other Hillary-hating pundits will be covering the event.

The mostly male pundits will be discussing important questions like: Why the hell won't the bitch quit? How many times do we have to tell her it's ovah? The best bet for a relatively calm evening is Fox News.

I haven't even had my morning coffee and already Chris Matthews is bashing me and all the other women who support Hillary. For once in his life, Matthews got it right when he said we are angry. But then he lost it and his misogyny came into full view when he observed that maybe women support Hillary because our lives aren't that great, maybe we support Hillary because we have 'failed marriages,' maybe we have money problems. Because if we support Hillary Rodham Clinton, and we are women, there is something wrong with us!

Never mind that she actually has a thick resume and is the best qualified candidate. What torments Chris Matthews is gender. If elected, President Hillary Rodham Clinton would elevate the shockingly dismal status of women and girls in this cowboy country. A President Hillary Rodham Clinton would go a long way toward countering the prevailing frat boy attitude that girls and women are here for the primary purpose of being sexually available and standing behind some not so great men. Women might even get to be the pundits. That alone scares the beejezus out of our frat boy pundits. It could forever ruin their careers.

Some 60 percent of white women support Hillary. That is one hell of a lot of women with failed marriages and unhappy lives. Asian and Hispanic women support her. Hillary also pulls in the most Catholic voters, Hispanic voters and blue-collar workers, and seniors. Will Chris be bashing these groups too? Or does the misogynist save his best stuff for the little women?

I'll add the video and/or transcript when it becomes available.

I don't know what happened to Anderson Cooper last night. The Obama devotee actually stopped talking about race and class for a moment.

Yeah, Anderson Cooper talked about gender, and it was like that Mother's Day commercial -- women all over the country fell to the floor in a dead faint.

"It's not over until the lady in the pants suit says it is."

Newsweek: "With their man at the helm, Obamaniacs are more than ready to "unite" with Clintonistas. But the reverse still isn't true. As Kenneth P. Vogel wrote yesterday in the Politico, "the legions of Clinton backers still investing their cash, energy and emotion into her faltering bid for the Democratic presidential nomination seem driven not by the reasonable expectation that she can beat Barack Obama, but by the emotional desire to see her through to the end of voting and stick it to those who have already written her off."
LA Times: In West Virginia, women for Hillary Clinton haven't (quite) given up the dream - "Plenty of voters said they would vote for Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) -- or not at all -- if Clinton's name wasn't on the November ballot."Plenty of voters said they would vote for Sen.
