After Being Embarrassed Yesterday the NAGS Are Still Complaining About the Tebow Ad

The pro-abortion groups took a serious beating yesterday during the Super Bowl game. For a couple of weeks they had complained and moaned about the ad that Focus on the Family was planning to run celebrating life and featuring Pam Tebow and her son Heisman winner Tim Tebow. They tried to get CBS to drop the spot and generally made fools of themselves in the media.

Focus on the Family, which sponsored the ad, played the angry feminists like a fiddle because when the ad ran no one could have mistaken it as the least bit objectionable or political. If you didn't see the ad that ran, you can find it here.

Well, let me correct that. There were some people who still found the ad objectionable - the angry feminists, and their reasoning is as always a stretch as shown here by Kathryn Jean Lopez at The Corner:
They made fools of themselves with the outrage over the Tebow ad — even getting themselves called out by fellow members of the feminist sisterhood. So now that we've seen the life-affirming, compassionate ad? They're still at it. Now NOW says the ad was a "celebration" of violence against women. The Los Angeles Times reports:

Some anger persisted after the ad aired.

NOW president Terry O'Neill said it glorified violence against women. "I am blown away at the celebration of the violence against women in it," she said. "That's what comes across to me even more strongly than the anti-abortion message. I myself am a survivor of domestic violence, and I don't find it charming. I think CBS should be ashamed of itself."
Liberal women — at least the groups that claim to represent them — have long hated the Super Bowl. It's nasty and brutish, they claimed for years — that there was an epidemic of women being beaten because of it. As New Orleans celebrates a great joy that is the culmination of many recontruction joys today, it's hard to argue that the Super Bowl is the source of all evil. So the Tebow ad is their continued target. They're doing it for Pam Tebow, you know, even if she doesn't agree.

The only real violence I saw surrounding the Super Bowl was the violence NOW is doing to its agenda.

There are some seriously red faces among the angry left today and they don't take jokes very well. This lame attempt to declare the Focus ad as "violence against women" is so silly that few if any can possibly take them seriously.

The far left is rigid and inflexible. They get far too much press and attention in my opinion.
