Quinn called NOW the "National Organization for Whores," said columnist Fatimah Ali should "get an American name"
Summary: On his syndicated radio show, Jim Quinn referred to the National Organization for Women as "the National Organization for Whores," and said of Philadelphia Daily News columnist Fatimah Ali: "[Y]ou know, Fatimah, what's your real name? Come on, seriously. I mean, get an American name, will you, if you want to be an American." He then asked: "You don't suppose she's a liberal black Muslim, do you?"

I think all these foreign sounding names should be changed. Muhammad Ali could rename himself "Cassius Clay", and Kareem Abdul-Jabaar could call himself "Lew Alcindor", for instance. Otherwise, kick them the hell out of the country.
Unbelievable, even for shock jock crap.

Jim Quinn - another worthless moron talker whose days are numbered once Obama/Biden win.

Rabbit, ever wonder why the assassination attempt against Barack isn't getting any airtime? I wonder if it's because a Rove vetted appointee doesn't want anything that could possibly give press to Obama to surface?
P.S. What should quinny's indian name be? ;)

K, I don't get the Alinsky refference. I'd be amazed if anyone tryed to say that Palin isn't a woman. Is there some problem with being a liberal black muslim woman?
The law naturalising births by american nationals in Panama was enacted after JC was born. It is not a retroactive law. I guess another illegal republican presidential victory is not worthy of note.

I'd be amazed if anyone tried to find out, and more so, why were they so interested in finding out?

All well and good, Yawnie can run and perhaps with alot of help from Karl win. Then if Karl perfers Palin in the hot spot then Karl can point, though fellow travelors that hey Yawnie ain't lejit.
Some kind of legal protection for his position would be good, and not just for him.
Source of the legality item was on Stephanie Miller's Show this morning.

I'm also anticipating further explanation about how conservatives consider right-wing professional liars like this to be "fake conservatives" and not "real conservatives."
They elect some idiot to the presidency, but when he inevitably FUBAR's the country, he's suddenly "not a real conservative."
They listen in droves to idiots like this and keep the ad revenue coming in, but when they utter offensive sewage like this, he's suddenly "not a real conservative."

They have dumped two progressive shows in Pittsburgh including Thom Hartmann. The station has become an all business station...amazing.
Good news in P-Burgh today. Rush has been interrupted by the Pirates so the Dittoheads will be roaming around not knowing what to say. It is always hilarious at work. At 3:00pm they are geniuses. But when Rush is not on, they cower in their cubicles and can only use yesterdays talking points. And NOBODY listens to the Pirates. Maybe I'll tune in to the Business Channel.

This Quinn guy is no more than an uneducated bigot who doesn’t deserve to be on radio or no other form of media. Every time he opens his mouth he demonstrates just how stupid he actually is. The only real American Names are those of Native Americans. What in the hell is Quinn? A Nazi name?

You know, Jim Quinn, what's your real name? Come on, seriously. I mean, get an American name, will you, if you want to be an American. You don't suppose he's a conservative white Irishman, do you? I'm just curious.

The NOW lost any credibility when they remained silent, for purely political reasons, during the years of Clinton's presidency. Even though the belief at the time was that any accusations by women were gospel and not to be challenged. It chased several senators like Tower from office as it should have for groping members of their staff.
But along comes Bill and he's just an 'alpha male' for all his misdeeds, including rape, and NOW keeps it's mouth shut. Why, becaused politically they valued their leftist agenda before the needs of women. In defending wild bill, they showed their stripes.
A whore is someone that gives away something precious for a price. It's like the guy who asks a girl to sleep with him for a million dollars. She says yes and then they guy says what about for 5 dollars. Indignantly she replies, what do you think I am? He say, we have already established what you are, now we are just negotiating price. That's what NOW did with their credibility.

neveragaintobeconfusedwithvygotsky,
I believe that a number of the 'so called' feminists avoided the idea of removing Bill from his office because of his misdeeds, including his risky sexual entanglements. Why, probably because he said he believed in what they believed about abortion. A great line from the movie, Primary Colors, which looked like it written right out of his first presidential campaign, is when the campaign manager is challenged to repudiate all the lying his candidate/boss does is, "He lies, but he lies about the things I care about!" That is why NOW was relatively silent when compared with Packwood, Tower and other's who were accused of assaulting women.
Maybe they didn't use the term 'alpha male' in their public comments, but I am certain that it was used by others to excuse his behavior before the public. If a republican president had done the same, NOW would have been all over his use of power to intimidate women and misuse them, drawn and quartered.
I'll say that I am wrong, when NOW comes out in support of Palin as a candidate because she is a woman. One that on her own merits has risen to a grand and unique position in American history. I won't hold my breath.

Thanks so much for your definition of "whore." Did you just learn it and are kind enough to share it? At this time in American history, anyone offering the post you offered who takes pride in being a conservative has got to be a total schmuck. In case you're unfamiliar with that term, please look it up. (Hint: it's in the vicinity of the anus.)

Is it the National Organization of Women or the National Organization of (certain politically oriented) Women?
http://www.now.org/issues/harass/packwood.html
Now compare their rapid response to the tepid actions in regard to Clinton.

Which criteria do they fit?

Do you think one allegation, or three, should set off the same response as 29? I'm not sure where you see the inconsistency.
BTW, The National Organization of Women isn't a dating site, so I'd advise you not to waste any more time lurking around there.

Neither. It's the national Organization for Women, and if you weren't proud of something you should be ashamed of, you would know that.
Isn't Pride one of the seven deadly sins? Why is it that the wingnut Christians have no problem with saluting and even advocating the very things that jesus spoke against?

Tuned into Quinn today 9/5/08 and caught Quinn explaining why he used the word whores...They are Political Whores, so that explains it. Also, he used this to attack Bill Clinton.
Yesterday, I referred to Radio Rose being in Minny and whoring around with Seanie meaning paling around...so using Quinns' definition, it should not have been pulled.

Hey darlin,
You must still be in the air as I'm writing this. IMYL. How long a flight is it from D to C? I spent most of the morning/afternoon running a few errands. Then went through the archives, found some funny stuff, but I'm sure I've just barely scratched the surface. If you're around later I'll post it :-) You asked awhile ago what I thought of Biden as Obama's VP pick. Well, early on Biden would have been my choice for the Democratic nominee, just based on the fact that out of what I didn't consider a particularly strong group, he was the best of the rest. Of course this was before I changed my mind about Hillary. She was my gal. But, as you know I'm cool with Obama, certainly over McCain. The Obama-Biden ticket is a strong one, IMO.
Well I'm gonna keep an eye on this thread on & off today. See how quiet it stays. Let me know if you find me...Be back later.
ILYL

Top of the mornin' to ya MOS (think superman),
As fate would have it I'm down here rebooking my H's return flight from Tues. to Wed.. I told him I was dropping you a line and he said not to flirt too hard. He's very secure since he know's there's no way I could go for someone who voted for "W" twice :-0), :-0). see winkie face.
I'm imaging that today will be like yesterday. Too many people, too much extraversion required (I'm only good for about 2 hours), getting hugged within an inch of my life (these people really are so nice), and the photo albumns will get whipped out again (btw I got a really cool B&W photo of my MIL dressed to the nines and one of my FIL in a fedora looking every bit like Robert Townsend). Very cool. I'm getting them restored. And of course we'll be swapping funny stories about my FIL. The dude really was crazy and funny.
Thanx for inquiring about my flight. It takes about 5 hours due to needing a connection. But everything was on time and it went well. And everybody's taking good care of me. I'll try to get here in the morning tomorrow. Bye, your little magnet girl.

Good morning my little magnet girl,
I don't know, I think your H might feel a tad insecure...after all what could be sexier to a pushy Liberal lady than the stubborn W voting Conservative gentleman she has nagged, cajoled, manipulated, charmed & browbeaten into putting an Obama-Biden bumper sticker on his fast moving Cadillac just for her. Well ok, there's no Cadillac. No bumper sticker either. But he is voting Obama-Biden...I mean that's got to be a huge turn on, eh?
Have a safe flight home my little magnet girl. I'll check here later, & tomorrow. You know I'm stuck on you...
Your MOS.
