CHICAGO - Folks Against Barack Obama (FABO) met in Rogers Park last night to select a representative to travel to Denver for the Democrat National Convention later this month. FABO is a pro-Hillary, anti-business group that believes it would be sexist to not nominate Clinton.
"Women have been held down more than any other group," a FABO member said, "like men, for instance. Barack Obama is a man. Therefore, he is a sexist, and we cannot accept that." Mr. Farber asked to remain anonymous.
No vote was taken, however. Citing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as a role model, FABO's chairperson Dick Lukenzipper (photo) said he refused to allow an up or down vote on anybody.
Lukenzipper became angry when asked why he would not allow a vote. "I control the gavel, not you," he yelled, "Look, if this is how you're going to act, get the hell out!"
Some FABO members will try again next week to get a vote on a Denver representative. In the meantime, disgruntled FABO members are urging each other to phone Lukenzipper over the weekend to insist that she allow a vote next week.
