Tonight on No Quarter Radio: Our View with Patsy and Sugar
Hey, everybody. It’s me, your long-lost host and ghost.
I am and have been extremely busy doing extremely secret and important things connected to the convention in Denver. No, really. I have a whole double life thing going here that none of you know about.
But there’s one thing I’ve been working on that isn’t a secret, or at least it won’t be anymore: I’ve started producing radio shows (podcasts, really) for NoQuarter Radio (NQR).
The show tonight is one I’m very excited about: Our View with Patsy and Sugar at 9pm ET on NQR.
The hosts are Patsy of Soldier4Hillary fame (that’s her picture) and Sugar of Sugar N Spice (no picture — she’s reclusive, like me). Both Patsy and Sugar have been staunch Hillary supporters throughout this election season. For this show they’re teaming up to talk about the difficulties faced by African-American supporters of Senator Clinton and how this whole situation is playing out in the Black community. They’ll be discussing their own experiences and taking calls from listeners. The call-in number is (347) 677-0792.
It’s a livestream podcast, so what you do is go to the NQR link at 9pm and listen to the show on your computer. You may hear my voice a bit as the producer, but I won’t sound like my normal God-like Mopish self because I’m deeply exhausted from the Other Secret Things I’ve been doing. My voice is creaky and weak, like me.

Less than a little, I think. Feminista said:
“we understand why he couldn’t explicitly say, “pro-choice” on the onset.”
O really? I don’t.

“We know there is this fear about calling Obama out on his talking points because we don’t want to give the right something to run with…”
Obama gives the right their ammunition all on his own. If he had been properly vetted, then there would be little fear about calling him out on his talking points.
Great news about the podcasts, Violet! Can’t wait to hear about the Other Secret Stuff you are concocting!

Wow. Now I am even more excited about all the subversive women’s work set to go off in Denver.
Thanks for all you do, Violet!

Keep up the great work, Violet, whatever it is!!! I can’t wait to find out.
Two things about this post:
1. I work for the mainstream feminist groups, and I didn’t hear a word about Obama’s answer on choice until I saw this. Enough said.
2. I couldn’t read more than the first few comments at Feministing. Some of those gals been drinking stupid juice. Anyone who says we can’t expect a candidate for president to be fully and proudly feminist - despite the fact that a fully and proudly feminist candidate got the most votes in the Dem primary - needs adult supervision, now.
And what’s with “pro-abortion” and “Hillary says: “Keep abortion safe, legal and rare” — just like sex, you mean, Hill?” and “Neither of these folks [Clinton and Obama] are on the side of women”. Oh, and “Hillary pandered on the abortion issue too — I remember her describing it as “unfortunate” or something pejoritive of that ilk during the primary.”
I bet next to none of these, um, commenters realize that President Clinton overturned the global gag rule, etc. on his first day in office; nor that he vetoed the Partial Birth Abortion Ban TWICE. And that was, what, 16 and 10 years ago, respectively?
[Damn I'm getting old.]
Every time Obama does something like this I think to myself: “I hope Kate Michelman and Frances Kissling are really, really proud of themselves now.” (Nancy Keenan I don’t think of at all).

Loved the show, Violet! Nice to hear your voice (very cool - like stars from the 40s or something). Ooh, you are so intriguing about the secret stuff for the Convention!
But I really miss your posts. Hope you’ll be producing blog shows from Denver as well. Or live blogging.

I’m really glad that African-American women are speaking up — one of the things that has bothered me about this election cycle is my perception of an unwillingness on the part of African-Americans to deviate from being staunchly pro-Obama. Sexism, misogyny and violence dominate much of what the media shows of AA culture and it is something that infuriates me. I am always perplexed by AA women who support those images of AA culture yet call themselves “feminists” or make claims to having some form of “power” within their culture. I really hope that more AA women, like Patsy and Sugar, feel empowered to break away from supporting AA male figues without feeling like they “aren’t really black” or are somehow undermining “the cause” of AA advancement in the dominant “white” culture.
