N.O.W. Objects to Hooters Feeding Kids

Someone tell La Leche League!

SAN FRANCISCO -- The National Organization for Women filed complaints against local Hooters restaurants Thursday, but not for exploiting its scantily clad waitresses by subjecting them to leering and groping customers.

The subject this time was Hooters' catering to children.

The restaurants in San Francisco, San Bruno, Sacramento and Orange County are classified as "adult entertainment" establishments but also serve minors, NOW's California chapter said in papers filed with police and prosecutors.

What's more, the organization said, Hooters provides child menus, high chairs and booster seats, and sells T-shirts in children's sizes that identify the wearer as a "Future Hooters Girl."


NOW says they're are doing this "for the children", but I ask you...look at that poster. How is that anything but educational?

Update: Found this. This may go a closer to the heart of the matter.

Quote du jour

NOW is a nakedly (pun intended) leftist political, pro abortion organization. Everything else is window dressing.

Theater of the Bizarre: NOW Endorses Jerry Brown

by the Left Coast Rebel

Yesteryday I was writing for Pajamas Media on the "whore" comment made by a Brown staffer, released by an L.A. police union group:



This in turn was perhaps the most ludicrous aspect of the story, excerpted:

Where is the feminist outrage? As Dan Riehl noted, when a staffer to Alaskan GOP senate candidate Joe Miller likened rival Lisa Murkowski's potential Libertarian party bid to the "oldest profession in the world," the feminist reaction was swift, just and vocal.

But proving that there is no shame or boundaries for sleaze in politics today - the National Organization for Women in California endorsed Jerry Brown within 24 hours of the incident. Brown waved around the endorsement as his spokesman denied any connection to the timing. The start page at the National Organization for Women has an article condemning senator Jim DeMint but nothing on "Whoregate" as well.
What would be the equivalent to this from a conservative group? I can't think of a better example of NOW being a front group for leftist-extremist causes and 'standing by their man' no matter what. How 'feminist' is that? Sounds more like battered wife syndrome to me.

Can you imagine?
