Why is the head of the Concerned Women of America a man?

[coloradodem2005]

It does not make sense. You almost wonder how ligitimate that group is. :wtf:

[LiberalVoice]

1. Back In Black baby! nt

[bleedingheart]

2. right wing front group to lure GOP women into believing their party

hasn't abandoned them.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

3. Doesn't make a lot of sense, does it?

I don't think that necessary makes them illigitimate, but it certainly must wilt their power at least a little.

[Stop_the_War]

4. They are jokingly referred to as "Ladies Against Women"

[meow2u3]

6. LADIES against women?

Try "Right-wing self-hating Bitches against Women!"

[Maat]

10. Hey - I like that one, Stop_the_War!

I watched a news segment on Tim LaHaye, and his wife, Beverly. She was sitting by him, looking at him like he was God (and he was a little ... nevermind).

Beverly founded CWA (or "LaW - ooh..I don't like the way that acronym works out).

Anyway, Beverly believes that we women would just be happy if we didn't bother with those ol' college degree things, and stayed at home, fawning over our men.

[Bridget Burke]

17. Hey, Beverly LaHaye has a college degree!

From Bob Jones University, no less.

[Occulus]

19. Ladies against Women?

Naw, you're right... that acronym doesn't work very well.

How about Ladies against Females? LAF.

:D

Oops. I hit the wrong 'reply' link. :hangover:

[Maat]

20. That's it!

LAF.

[IrateCitizen]

5. They're a legitimate player on the religious far-right

The founder of the group, Beverly LaHaye, is the wife of none other than Rev. Tim LaHaye, a Christian dominionist who is the force behind the "Left Behind" books series. LaHaye was also the co-founder of the "Moral Majority" with Jerry Falwell.

[Momgonepostal]

7. I've noticed that, too!

Are the women of that group so busy being barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen that they don't have time to be concerned enough to lead?

[gratuitous]

8. Because, silly!

Girls don't know how to run big organizations! Tee hee.

[Bridget Burke]

9. Their spokesman is a man--as Jon Stewart pointed out!

But their founder is Beverly LaHaye, wife of Tim LaHaye, co-author of the "Left Behind" books. They're alumni of Bob Jones University & powerful among the fake "Christians".

CWA was founded to battle the Equal Rights Amendment. Check their website to catch the stories soon appearing in your letters to the editor. And repeated by the more credulous media sources.

"Why can't we say Merry Christmas" was a big hit for them, quite recently.

[Maat]

12. Yep. You've got their number, Bridget!

And I read their website - for a laugh or two.

[coloradodem2005]

13. Lewis Black pointed it out yesterday.

[Bridget Burke]

18. Yes, it was Lewis Black, not Jon Stewart....

Lewis is even better at pointing out idiocy....

[shawcomm]

11. I guess they're not too concerned.

[Maat]

14. Exactly.

Or they stand behind their men - and I mean behind - two steps.

[mongo]

15. Because he's concerned for you women that aren't

barefoot and pregnant

[Maat]

16. And .... yeah for Lew Black!

AND Jon Stewart and the Gang.

[xxqqqzme]

21. because their concern is whatever

their menfolks tell 'em it is.
