A leading women’s rights group that had once praised Gov. David A. Paterson for his work on violence against women is now seeking his resignation, saying his intervention in a domestic violence case involving a top adviser was inappropriate and disappointing. “This latest news is very disappointing for those of us who believed the governor was a strong advocate for women’s equality and for ending violence against women,” said Marcia A. Pappas, the group’s president. “We at the National Organization for Women-New York State believe that in spite of the governor’s heretofore excellent record on women’s issues, it is now time for the governor to step down.”We all know the National Organization for Women was silent when former President Bill Clinton was accused of groping, assaulting, and sexually harassing women (and more…) in and out of the federal workplace. Now they’re making their concerns known with David Paterson. The difference: Clinton is white, Paterson is not.
