This story is about a month old, but I just discovered it and was quite appalled...
Radio talk show host Jim Quinn of "The War Room with Quinn & Rose" on September 3rd referred to the organization National Organization for Women (NOW) and the "National Organization for Whores." And on top of that he suggested that Fatimah Ali writer in the Philadelphia Daily should get an "American name."
Keep in mind this is the radio show in which...
on the August 11 broadcast of Quinn & Rose, guest host Mike Pintek questioned the authenticity of Sen. Barack Obama's birth certificate, saying: "I still keep wondering about his birthplace and his birth certificate. I'm still not convinced that he actually was born a natural-born citizen."
And...
during the August 27 broadcast, Quinn introduced a segment about Sen.Hillary Clinton by playing audio of the Elton John song "The Bitch Is Back." The next day, Sen. John McCain was a guest on the program.

So it all started when Quinn was saying that the Democratic Party no longer exists and he started to refer to it as the "Alinsky Party."
QUINN: The Democrat [sic] Party is now the "Alinsky Party." Yesterday, I said, I wonder how long it's going to be before one of these Alinskyites -- formerly known as Democrats -- one of these Alinskyites out there suggests that Sarah Palin is not really a woman.
For those of you that know nothing about Saul Alinsky, he was a community organizer that was a radical. You can read up a little bit about him at this website... http://www.theabsurdreport.com/...
So anyway, he takes it from a remark like that to...
Remember Kay Bailey Hutchison was a female impersonator, according to the National Organization for Whores? Remember that? Well, James Lewis, American Thinker: "is Sarah Palin really a woman?"
Whoa! Whores? You replace the word "women" with "whores?" So a group that wants to advance women, give us women the same rights men have are degraded to the point that Quinn calls them whores? Here's a little snippet from the NOW website of what they do:
Since its founding in 1966, NOW's goal has been to take action to bring about equality for all women. NOW works to eliminate discrimination and harassment in the workplace, schools, the justice system, and all other sectors of society; secure abortion, birth control and reproductive rights for all women; end all forms of violence against women; eradicate racism, sexism and homophobia; and promote equality and justice in our society.
After that hateful rhetoric, you would think that Quinn was finished right? Wrong!
He then turns to attack Fatimah Ali of the "Philadelphia Daily News." She had written a piece entitled "We need Obama, not 4 more years of George Bush" and I think the title is evident of what she was talking about, but here's a little bit of what she said
if John McCain wins the November election, quote, "look for a full-fledged race and class war fueled by a deflated and depressed country, soaring crime, homelessness, and hopelessness."
Well, Mr. Quinn took it upon himself to not attack the point she was making with that article, but instead to attack her personally in stating:
QUINN: I'll tell you what, folks, it's the great depression. It's bread lines, soup kitchens. Fatimah Ali, writing in the Philadelphia Daily -- you 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. You don't suppose she's a liberal black Muslim, do you? I'm just curious.
She should change her name? So to be an American I guess you have to have a name like John or Sarah or Cindy right? Or how about even Jim? That's the perfect American name right? It's appalling how low these Conservative talk radio show hosts have decided to go. Personally, I have family members with the name Fatimah and Ali and I think those are beautiful names. And plenty enough AMERICAN! His question on is she a "liberal black Muslim" is hilarious! That's exactly what I am! I guess he just wouldn't like somebody like myself then. But America is a melting pot with all kinds of names, faces, and races. And somebody like Jim Quinn and his wingnuts buddies are going to have to get used to it, because we're not going anywhere! As proud, patriotic, law abiding Americans, we are staying right here!
By the way...anybody that wants to read Fatimah's article the link is... http://www.philly.com/...
It's really good, so I suggest everybody reads it!
