The top ten reasons Oprah should tell everybody to kiss her entire ass
White women in a huff over Oprah's booking decisions.
The cat fur is flying over the non-story about Oprah supposedly banning Caribou Barbie from her show (recalling a previous cat-fight over Oprah not backing Hillary Clinton during the primaries.) This enterprising blog even offered five reasons O should let Sarah Palin on. Some of the comments the post elicited ranged from the profane, to the downright ridiculous:
When will the media openly and honestly report the facts about black crime, welfare rates, and IQ?

My name says it all.
We suspected it-Now We know it is TRUE Oprah is a Racist & Hates White American Women
She sure does like their money though. First time she supports a candidate and he is black?=Racist
First Republican VP candidate and it is a White woman and Oprach won't have a woman on her show about women? = Racist

Oprah should be ashamed of herself. Obama, the 50% white/50% black candidate, isn't the only one making history. How about the 1st female VP candidate on a Republican ticket? Whatever happened to "girl power", Oprah? Aren't women the ones who've made you a billionaire? Nice way to say thanks.
Pathetic.

Oprah is going to deny a woman who attracted 40 million viewers and is the first female vice presidential nominee in 24 years from appearing on her show? Unbelievable. I think Oprah is going to have mutiny on her hands. She is selling out all women again to support an African American man. She doesn't have to endorse Palin or even discuss politics, but to pretend as if her audience isn't interested in her story is absurd. I think Oprah is going to lose a lot of fans over this, it shows she is clearly biased and identifies and sympathizes more with the struggles of black people than she does with women. After observing this election process I think it's proven that women have a much greater struggle towards equality. What a shame that Oprah will sit on her hands once again when women need her support.
Really? Well I'll see your "five reasons" and give you double that number why O should tell everyone to kiss off:
#1. Those who say that Oprah owed her support to Hillary Clinton and now owes it to Sarah Palin because they are women are rank hypocrites for criticizing her for supporting a black candidate.
#2. Those who claim Oprah owes white women for her success are blatant racists, whose sense of entitlement even extends to Oprah's well-EARNED success. I suppose she should show her appreciation by giving up her seat on the bus when a white woman wants to sit down?
#3. Clearly Oprah owes nothing to people who are so quick to turn on her, including drawing for the race card, when she doesn't tow the line by putting (white) women first.
#4. Anyone who thinks Sarah Palin MUST be allowed to go on Oprah's show, but don't mind that she refuses to go on actual news shows like "Meet the Press", or face reporters at all, is an authoritarian fool so nurtured on Fox News propaganda that you feel Palin should be worshipped into office instead of voted in on the basis of facts. By your logic, the geezer must immediately be booked on "Montel."
#5. If you don't like the way Oprah runs her show, don't watch it, or better yet, create a (right wing) show of your own. Oh, that's right, you have no talent, and instead have been bamboozled into watching Oprah's show all this time, thinking you were purchasing her eternal loyalty to white women along with her favorite things...
#6. Each of you is entitled to your political views, and so is Oprah. You don't see her out there telling you how stupid you are for voting for four more years of Bush policies just because they're dressed up in the guise of a geriatric old man and his pretty Alaskan nurse, do you?
#7. I thought dittoheads didn't believe in the fairness doctrine...
#8. If you're so hopped up on entertainers giving equal time to pols, maybe Kelsey Grammar and Bruce Willis could be forced to do a movie with Barack? It could be called "Die Hard with a guy who sounds British but really isn't and a guy Sean Hannity says is Muslim, but also isn't..."
#9. OPRAH IS NOT A REPORTER, AND HER SHOW IS NOT THE PLACE FOR ELECTION COVERAGE!
#10. Republicans have already established that they hate celebrities. Going on Oprah would further establish Sarah Palin as a celebrity, thereby making you hate her. And you can't hate her, wingers ... because she is your queen.
--- Banned books + lots of earmarks + abuse of office to fire brother-in-law + Alaska secessionist party + mayor of 9,000 = vice presidential material! Only in America...
