Independent Women's Forum - a tiny "organization" of DC-based right wing nut jobs.

For the record:

Founded by Ricky Silberman (see Blinded by the Right) and Barbara Olson (died on 911 in the plane that hit the Pentagon, wife of Bush lawyer Ted Olson) to defend (get ready for it) Clarence Thomas. Later headed by Michelle Bernard (right wing talking head maven during the Bush years). Fast forward to now we see this fucking nut, Gayle Trotter, who is an IWF Fellow and not the IWF's head.

I think Lawrence gave this story some legs. What an obvios dispay of idiocy by Trotter. You can tell she's a tool because she doesn't get mad at the confrontation; she just sticks to the talking points. Woman's right to choose. Oops.

"They" will lie and make stuff up. We are the majority and that majority is getting
bigger every year but ever since Reagan it has been about selling "the story" or
pushing "an image." I bet if one was to able to look into the IWF one would find a
link to Creative Response Concepts that "sells" this crap by funneling it to certain
media outlets.
