Oprah will not have sarah palin on her show. says there's no need. me thinks there is abit of bigotry here. ?

Question

is it possible that a black person can be racist or does the terms racist or bigot only apply to others? other than liberals that is.

Answer 1

she's not gonna let anybody but "The Chosen One" on her show!

Answer 2

According to her press release that since she decided to support Barak Obama (the first time in her broadcasting career) that she has had no candidate on her show.

Now I will admit to being to lazy to go research her airing schedule for the last 6 or 7 months, but Oprah and her staff probably would not make the statement given that it would/will be so easy to verify.

She isn't a journalist she is a private citizen with a very public career. She can interview anyone she d**n well pleases. So who really gives a flying F*** who she books.

Personally I would love to see Palin on Oprah, Oprah would carve her up and serve her for lunch

GO OPRAH!

Answer 3

Why would you think Palin would go on Oprah? h**l McCain won't even go on Larry King after a member of the news media asked a member of his campaign a valid question. What is he scared of? He won't put her out there. She has a degree in communication. Let her talk. This Sunday, everyone on the tickets will be on a show being interviewed or talking about the issues with other politicians and pundits. Not Palin. She will be at home with her family or practicing another rabid speech. But the McCain camp can't let her out on her own because they don't know her any better than the rest of us. And they don't trust what she may say! She is a trophy. She is what he is using to pander the female vote. And since he thinks all women vote based on gender I guess he thinks we won't be watching because we will be so busy trying to figure out how to make moose burgers!

Answer 4

She can have whomever she wants to have on her show.

Answer 5

I don't think it is racism; Oprah is just a huge supporter of Obama. She doesn't want to hurt his chances for winning, which is what an appearance by Palin would do.

Answer 6

And dig her response, it was something like "I don't want my show to become a political forum"

After she had Obama on at the start of his run 1 1/2 years ago.

Answer 7

Why didn't you mention that Oprah has denied the charges in the Drudge Report?  

Answer 8

sounds like she is just exercising her free right as an American....

Answer 9

Racists or not, it's her show and she can cry if she wants too. Oprah has made it clear that she supports Barack Obama. Oprah selects her guests, and Palin isn't one of them. End of story. Everyone has a preference, right FOX news?

Answer 10

F*ck Sarah Palin. Shes too annoying for my taste

Answer 11

Why is it racist for her to decline the interview?  You think she would have her on if she was Black?  I don't.  Palin is a rabid Conservative...Oprah is a staunch liberal.  Why would she invite Palin on and give her that platform?

Answer 12

not the all mighty goddess Oprah!

Answer 13

Oprah should never put her name for anybody...

she put herself in a difficult position

Answer 14

That's not what Oprah said, she said that there's been no talk in her office of having her on....this was in response of all the people asking why Oprah won't have her on her show.  I'm pretty sure Oprah would, as an Obama supporter, LOVE to interview Palin and ask her some hard-hitting questions about the issues in the country.

That won't happen, though, because McCain said yesterday...and this was released by the API....that she will only be making speeches as his VP nominee, not doing interviews.

Answer 15

I work with 23 black guys and all of them have said they are voting for obama because he is black. When I asked about his experience they said they didn't care they were voting for the black man.

Answer 16

This incident will not be forgotten. Her ratings will sink.

Expect an "Oprah retires" announcement in the near future. It will look like she left the show on her own terms.

Answer 17

oprah is in the same group of gods that obama hangs with. of course she is a racist. they even went to the same America hating church.

Answer 18

She's a daytime talk show host and should be unbiased.  Of course, she's not.  That's why she should be an anchor on MSNBC, CNN, ABC instead.

Answer 19

Yes, blacks are a million times more racist than whites ever dreamed of being.

Answer 20

Oprah is a racist and a big phony because she claims to be for women's advancement in society etc!  What woman with Oprah's platform for a tv talk show wouldn't want the 2nd woman in US history to be on presidential ballot?  I hope Oprah's ratings sink just like US Weekly magazine's subscriptions have decreased dramatically.
