NOW (National Organization of Women)thinks Brown is great even after the Ho statement. Shows their hypocrisy. Why can't anyone say---that was not right but we still support his policies.

They will support any misogynist as long as he is pro abortion.
It has to be more than that. Whitman is pro-choice.
Yep, she is even pro-taxpayer funded abortions. The endorsement on Jerry Brown's website states otherwise. Yet pro-life advocates have routinely taken Whitman to task on her pro-choice/pro-abortion stance.
http://www.lifenews.com/state4863.html Sacramento, CA (LifeNews.com) -- A California pro-life group is taking on Republican gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman, who is blanketing the airwaves with ads calling herself a "Reagan conservative." But the director of the California Pro-Life Council says Whitman doesn't resemble that because she supports taxpayer-funded abortions.
Brian Johnston, the head of the pro-life group, tells LifeNews.com "Meg Whitman is no Ronald Reagan and her candidacy is unacceptable to millions of California Pro-Life voters." "Whitman's position that there should be no limitations on taxpayer funding of abortion is clear repudiation of Ronald Reagan's commitment to the value of individual human lives," he added.
California NOW Endorses Jerry Brown For Governor, Condemns Meg Whitman
OAKLAND - In recognition of his consistent support for women's equality and reproductive freedom, the PAC for the National Organization for Women's California chapter today announced its strong support for Jerry Brown for Governor and condemned Republican candidate Meg Whitman's treatment of women in the workplace and her failure to support a woman's right to choose.
It would seem that either Jerry Brown or NOW is intentionally mis-representing Whitman's position.

Maybe they need to highlight that. I assumed she was pro life.
Please post proof that Meg Whitman has ever been a prostitute. Link please?
The man wasn't accusing her of being a sexual prostitute, any more than countless politicians have meant a male opponent was born to a dog or mean woman when they used "son of a *****" or meant their opponent's parents were unmarried when he was born by calling him a bastard.

First, it's hard to be misogynistic against men, since it means "hating women". Second, men do call other men whores - particularly politicians. Modern vernacular also has "attention *****", "media *****", "fame *****" and I'm sure others.
Reminds me of a Lou Reed verse: "Does anyone need yet another politician
caught with his pants down and money sticking in his hole?"
Politicians are frequently called whores.
I don't like insulting people that way out in the open, but this Brown flap was a private conversation in someone's office. Does anyone think Whitman's team has never referred to Brown using words like a-hole (in full)?
EDIT: apologies for my frankness if C-D requires bowdlerizing or masking English words even if used in a non-insulting way or attack. But the filters could be improved to catch plurals.
Californians please wake your butts up, Brown, is really making his true ignorant colors come out, i do not want someone like him serving us. What has he done for us, tell me please. Give me a list of all the great things he has done, and what has he done lately.
Even if that remark was by a ignorant Republician, well it wasn't i would feel the same, that is a insult to all of us Women out here. Is this truly how he feels towards women, or those he feels he is in competion with, no matter the reason, there was no reason to say such things, not that.
Sorry People there is not the same standard for both Parties. If this were a Republician that said a remark as Brown had, his head would be on a chopping block and you all know it, why the different standards, it is not fair. I don't care what party you are in wrong is wrong. If that were a republician who said such things, i would also be very upset. And the dang media, just lets it slip, well not if this were a Republician, right is right and wrong is wrong, We need to wake up. Stop making excuses just because of your party, i don't if there is somethig i don't like i do try and change it by email, and letters to those in charge in my State. And there is plenty wrong in my State, and i let them all know it, yeah i get the usual email back from them fools, know they probably did not even read my letters or email, just gives me satisfaction. We the people need to take politics back, by letting politicians in either party know, we will not tolerate any nonesense.

If character is what one does when no one is looking; then, indeed it would seem that is exactly what Jerry Brown thinks about women who are in competition with him.
