I don't think there was a specific group which did that, but Oprah did acknowledge receiving a whole horde of emails to her website on the topic.
The New York chapter of the National Organization for Women
did however rip on Ted Kennedy for endorsing Obama:
Quote:
The National Organization for Women's New York chapter today issued a scathing response to Sen. Ted Kennedys endorsement of Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton in the Democratic presidential primary, calling it a "betrayal" of women.
"Women have forgiven Kennedy, stuck up for him, stood by him," but "We are repaid with his abandonment. He's picked the new guy over us. He's joined the list of progressive white men who can't or won't handle the prospect of a woman president who is Hillary Clinton."
