National Organization for Liberal Women (National Organization for Women nickname)

The National Organization for Women (NOW) was founded in 1966 to protect and advocate for women’s rights. Critics of NOW have claimed that it supports liberal women, but not conservative women.
 
The nickname Nationsl Organization for Liberal Women (NOLW) has been used since at least 1993. The preposition is sometimes changed to the National Organization “of” Liberal Women.
   
A similar nickname—adding the word “liberal”—is the National Association for the Advancement of Liberal Colored People (NAALCP) for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). Another less-frequent NOW nickname (used by conservative talk radio host Mark Levin) has been the National Association for Ugly Women.
 
A NOW nickname with a brand new acronym is the National Association of Gals (NAG), cited in print since 1995. NOW has been nicknamed the National Organization for Whores since 1998.

NOW, is the liberal equivalent of the Montana Freemen.  Why do they call it NOW anyway?  It has little in common with the majority of women in this country, as evidenced by its sinking membership, and limited appeal to anyone but socialists.  They should call it NOLW (to rhyme with “hollow”), for the National Organization for Liberal Women, or, perhaps just NOER (poeticly licensed version of “nowhere”), for the National Organization for Extreme Radicals.

NOW should change their name to the National Organization of Liberal Women, or else face up to truth-in-advertising laws.

NOLW: National Organization of Liberal Women

NOW, the National Organization of Women, is not that. NOLW is what the tag should be with LIBERAL capitalized.
