@TH1SL1F3 - You say you lost respect for Oprah when she didn’t have a Republican candidate on her show and you haven’t watched her show since.  But do you realize that, in fact, Oprah had Obama on her show before he was a presidential candidate?  She had him on the show shortly after he gave the speech at the DNC convention in 2004, I think.  On that show (I remember watching it) she asked him if he would ever considering running for president.  He was non-committal.  She encouraged him because she really believed in him.  But after that, he never appeared on the show again, nor have any political candidates.  She just doesn’t have candidates on the show.  When Obama was on the show, he was just a state senator at the time, not running for anything.  In fact, I think he might have been there to promote a book.  Maybe.  I’m not sure.  So you can’t say you’re angry at Oprah for not inviting a Republican candidate on her show because the truth is she never invited a Democratic candidate on her show either.  Do you see what I’m saying?

@la_faerie_joyeuse - In what way is Oprah a racist?  One of her best friends is Julia Roberts.  I think you have to back up that statement and not just accuse her of something so harsh.

@MorningAngel - Maybe she’s the anti-Christ, you suggest?  You’re kidding, right?  As I said in my previous comment, Oprah’s got a track record better than most
world leaders.  She is a force of positive energy whose mission is to
make this world a better place, and she puts her money where her mouth
is.  You can’t ask for much more than that.  She makes me want to be a
better person.  She has that effects on millions of people.  She raises money for charities like you wouldn’t believe.  She is a top-notch do-gooder.  You can’t say that about many other people.  So how can you say she’s the anti-Christ?  Won’t you please retract that statement?  Surely you made that comment in haste without thinking it through.

@AilinCorazon - You see her as the epitome of “fake”?  In what way?  Please read what I wrote to MorningAngel just before this comment.

@FallenReign - Oprah’s frightening?  In what way?  I’m curious about what you think and what your perceptions are.  But look, don’t worry.  She has always said she will never seek political office.  She can do so much more good in the way she does now as a semi-private citizen than she could as a politician.  Bill Clinton has confirmed that, saying that the private organization he has established has been able to help solve world issues better and faster than he was able to when he held the office of president — because of all of the red tape the president and Congress have to go through.  A private citizen (or a group of private citizens) can raise money and get stuff done lickety-split.  For instance, Brad Pitt has personally financed and helped build more houses to replace the ruined ones in New Orleans than the government has since Katrina hit.  

@TH1SL1F3 - That’s the best you could come up with?  You can’t defend your argument?  That’s sad. 

BTW, I’m a really fast typist and it didn’t take but a few minutes to write all that I wrote.  I guess I’m one of those damned elitists who’s pretty good at everything she does. 

See, boys and girls out there, this is what I’m talking about.  When a right-winger can’t defend an argument with an ounce of intelligence, he or she stoops to namecalling/mudslinging/what-have-you.  Sooooo typical.  And you know what?  We Americans are sooooo tired of it.  That’s why Obama will be the next president.
