Oprah refuses Palin

[White Shogun]

Apparently race trumps gender, at least for Oprah:

Oprah balks at having Sarah Palin on her show

 

[guest301]

No suprise and maybe a mistake on Oprah's part. She has alot of conservative and independant white women who watch her show and they will be turned off by this decision of Oprah. Of course with her billions in the bank, she can make any mistake she feels like.

 

[White Shogun]

Oprah denies the report:

OPRAH'S STATEMENT: "The item in today's Drudge Report is categorically untrue. There has been absolutely no discussion about having Sarah Palin on my show. At the beginning of this Presidential campaign when I decided that I was going to take my first public stance in support of a candidate, I made the decision not to use my show as a platform for any of the candidates. I agree that Sarah Palin would be a fantastic interview, and I would love to have her on after the campaign is over."

Too bad she has already permitted Obama to use her show as a platform for HIS candidacy:

Oprah has effectively alienated untold numbers of white women from white men. I hope she does come out against Palin even if she does havePalin on her show. The "drunk white fans" get their strange and apparently unshakeable beliefs from various places and Oprah's show is one of them.

 

[White Shogun]

What outcome are you looking for if Oprah comes out against Palin? Not sure if you think this would make some women turn their back on Oprah, or if you think it would make women turn on Palin.

 

[Guest]

Yeah, what a hypocritical racist b!tch.

 

[Guest]

If Oprah continues to refuse to have the Alaskian Amazon(Palin) as a quest, it reveals two things.

1.I always had a belief that Ms Whinfrey was a racist(most blacks are).

2. That BO and the libs are sh.ting in their respective pants and afraid of Palin's charisma with white women and non black women.

Sidebar: It appears that Drunk white fathers married misguided white woman, who in turn produced the idiot white youth rampaging through the RNC. God help us.

Shogun, how about anti social, criminal behavior by those idiot whites, vandalizing and assualting police and citizens. Not to mention grow men abusing alcohol then view whites in a derogatory way. Or how about millions of white woman thinking that Oprah is the greatest thing since sliced bread. I can think of a 1000 ways to spend 1 hr of the day instead of listening to her crap.

Do you want any more specifics?

It might make some white women more racially aware, as well as less inclined to follow the liberal party line. The so-called "gender gap" has never been as large as it's been hyped to be; it consists mostly of husbandless urban white women and hard-core feminazis. I'm for anything that has the effect, intended or not, of increasing white racial awareness and solidarity.

Dude... you left absolutely no context for what you were referring to. You even said, "Sidebar:" like what you were about to post was off-topic. I didn't know if you were referring to the protesters at the RNC or what. Where is the alcoholism rant coming from? What does that have to with Oprah not inviting Sarah Palin to be on her show?

[white is right]

Oprah has always been a phony, who can forget her going on about coupon clipping and budgeting. This was back before she was a billionaire, she was just a multi-millionaire. I knew she was full of it then and told people as much.

 

[White Shogun]

Wow. Oprah's decision to not invite Palin on the show is causing a serious backlash for her. Check out the comments on her website:

Oprah.com: Community

What's funny is that we all know that race trumps everything for blacks, but everyone else seems so surprised that Oprah puts her race first, too.

The emotionally crippled liberal white women are getting a taste of what they asked for, Nicole Simpsonized.

 

[guest301]

I especially liked the post asking whether you would have Palin or Winfrey traveling down the road with her son similar to the situation in the book "the Road" by Cormac McCarthy. That book was about a starving father and son traveling down the road in a post nuclear America. It was one on the most depressing and yet deeply moving books I have ever read and I recommend that book for those who have the stomach for it. Especially for the fathers at caste football.

Now it's Whoopi's turn. The sistas be stickin together.

Whoopi Goldberg: Palin Sounds Pro-Nazi, Wants to 'Succeed' From U.S.


Note/Update: Whoopi's blog has since corrected the error listed below.


Who let Whoopi Goldberg blog without an editor? In her Wow-O-Wow blog post titled "Sarah Palin Is a Very Dangerous Woman," she lobs a wild pitch about the Alaskan Independence Party kerfuffle: "I also thought that this idea of America first coming from her was kind of strange because she was one of the people who wanted to succeed from the United States. She was part of a campaign to succeed Alaska from the United States of America." Where's the editor to say "Sorry, dear, don't you mean 'secede'?"


Whoopi's article concluded by suggesting Gov. Palin's speech reminded her of a German-American Nazi rally: "This girl is dangerous to me. This is a very dangerous woman, because I believe for her intents and purposes, she's OK if everybody lives a certain way, that is to say, the way God ordained men and women to be. Well, already she's breaking that because she's the daddy. She's going to run the country and the husband is going to take care of the kids. I just found the whole thing sad and very musty and very much like a Bund rally, but maybe that was just me."

In the early 1970's, Oprah Winfrey won the "Miss Black Tennessee" beauty pageant. About the same time, the Nashville CBS affiliate was looking for a black personality. They figured a beauty pageant winner was just the thing.

This is how Oprah got her start. Later, while still working for Channel 5, Oprah complained in the local press that "Channel 5 discriminates against me." It didn't affect her eventual rise to billionaire status. My grandmother watched Oprah all the time.

Let's see now. We have Oprah, Whoopi, the blacks, feminists, socialists, and everyradical leftyon the warpath against Palin. If that isn't bad enough, the most influencial and powerful group of all is very upset. These pitbulls are going totake a chunk out of her backside by any means possible. Ya aint seen nuthin yet.Palin wil have to dosome major a$$ kissing, orrisk beingbeaten to a bloody pulp.

Jewish voters may be wary of Palin


By: Ben Smith

ST. PAUL, Minn. Barack Obama has struggled for 18 months to lock down the support of a traditionally Democratic group, Jewish voters.


In the past week, John McCain may have helped Obama with his Jewish problem by choosing Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate.


McCain and Obama are battling over a portion of the Jewish community: older, conservative Democrats, largely in South Florida, some of whom backed Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary. McCain's secular, hawkish credentials appeal to many in that group, who are skeptical of Obama's relatively short record and have been deluged with rumors about his pro-Palestinian leanings.


But Democrats hope Palin's social conservatism, her paper-thin record on Israel, and perhaps most importantly her cultural roots in evangelical Christianity may be a major turnoff to Jewish voters, justas Republicans have tried to reach women disappointed that Obama didn't choose Hillary Clinton,


Democrats have already begun to to capitalize on the choice of Palin over Jewish Connecticut Sen. Joseph Lieberman  in South Florida and elsewhere. A prominent Obama backer, Florida Rep.Robert Wexler, has attacked Palin for appearing at a 1999 event with Pat Buchanan who has attacked the influence of the Israeli lobbyin America. And the same factors that are rallying the evangelical base to Palin may push away the Jews.


"There is almost always an inverse proportion between a candidate's popularity among conservative Christians and secular Jews," said Jeff Ballabon, a Republican lobbyist long active in Jewish politics who supports McCain. (snip)

 

[Jimmy Chitwood]

surely, the black solidarity issue surprises no one here. even Tough J Riggins had to expect this, right?

 

[Guest]

"There is almost always an inverse proportion between a candidate's popularity among conservative Christians and secular Jews"

As if pleasing the 1 million secular Jews is more important than pleasing the 100 million conservative Christians... What a bunch of crap.

 

[White Shogun]

Her cultural roots in 'conservative Christianity' are the 'root' of her support for Israel. The author of this article doesn't know what he is talking about.

As the days go by I'm beginning to realize that I don't have a dog in this race. Imho I think that Palin is another "talking head." Its amazing how people are ready to jump on the GOP bandwagon after what; 1 speech.

Not to hijack this thread but as someone more smarter then I once stated; ignore or discount an Obama victory at your own risk.

Who would you support? Which party/candidate?

I think that Palin is another "talking head." Its amazing how people are ready to jump on the GOP bandwagon after what; 1 speech.

I think more than anything, rank and file Republicans, especially Christians, are very relieved that McCain chose her over Lieberman.That would have been something -- picking a North East Democrat Orthodox Jewish Zionistfor the GOP VP spot. Boy, that would have really energized the base.

Nascar fans would turn out in droves, for sure. Manypubbies however, can identify with Pistol Packin Mama, and I bet shewouldn't be stumped if asked how many homes she has.

 

[Maple Leaf]

Middle class white women thought Oprah spoke for them...And now some of them will realize that she is Black first and everything else second. A small wake up call to a few of them anyway. I'm sure their husbands have been telling them this all along.

 

[White Shogun]

I'm sure their husbands have been telling them this all along.

I'm beginning to wonder if the typical American male ever tells his wife anything at all, about any subject.
