Govt. awards Right Wing Female Crackpots to help Iraqi Woman

[Out the Parasites]

"WASHINGTON, D.C., Oct 5 (OneWorld) The State Department has awarded an explicitly anti-feminist U.S. group part of a US$10 million grant to train Iraqi women in political participation and democracy."

"The organization was founded in 1991 by a number of prominent right-wing Republican women to act as a counterpoint to what they called the “radical feminism” of the National Organization for Women (news - web sites) (NOW), a grassroots group with about 500,000 subscribing members nationwide.

Among the founders were Lynne Cheney, the spouse of Vice President Dick Cheney (news - web sites) and former chair of the National Endowment for the Humanities; Labor Secretary Elaine Chao; Kate O’Beirne, Washington editor of the right-wing “National Review” and a former senior vice president at the Heritage Foundation; and Midge Decter, the former co-chair with Donald Rumsfeld of the Committee for the Free World and one of the founders of neo-conservatism along with her spouse, former “Commentary” editor, Norman Podhoretz."

This can not be happening! Every where we turn, one after another right wing crack pot gets more government money to spread their lies. I'm so frustrated!

I'm sure Lynn will will re-write Iraqi history and blame the Woman for not raising their children correctly..F...F...F...F..F..F...F

1. Not for much longer!

2. Can a Grant be undone?

I'm not so sure it will be easy to fix this one.

3. Not sure, but a new administration could certianly make

things difficult for them. If it's not a private grant, but a publicly funded one, I don't see why a changing of the guard couldn't nip it in the bud.

At least it will stem the flow of $$ to idiotic causes like this.
