Florida Republican women's group to boycott Oprah
By GottaLaff
This started with yet another lie by Republicans:
The Florida Federation of Republican Women made the decision to boycott the Oprah Winfrey Show Saturday, after the media mogul refused to have Gov. Sarah Palin as a guest on her show until after the election wraps up.
"Women in Florida helped build Oprah into the icon she is today," Linda Ivell, President of the FFRW said in a statement. "We are deeply disappointed in Ms. Winfrey's decision to sit out the greatest political moment in the history of women since suffrage."
The talk show host denied accusations Friday, that she was even considering the vice presidential nominee as a guest.
"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 plat for any of the candidates," Winfrey wrote in a statement, responding to a story from The Drudge report claiming her staff was "sharply divided" on whether they should book the Alaska Governor. [...]
The Florida Federation of Republican Women, the "largest political organization in Florida," celebrating the groups 58 year anniversary is also encouraging members to cancel subscriptions to O Magazine, Ivell said.
Oh, but it's only temporary. They're just angry for now. It's just a pretend boycott:
Ivell did not say the Florida Republicans would be tuning out indefinitely, but at least until 'after the election.' Adding, she and her members respect the decision to support Obama, "as every American is entitled to their personal opinion and vote."
So it's okay with them if Oprah decides not to invite Obama or McCain, but if she turns SledDog Sarah down, she has somehow betrayed them. Yeah, that makes sense.

Let all the little old
Let all the little old ladies in Florida boycott Oprah. I'm sure it will make a HUGE dent in her viewership. Besides, most of her viewers will continue to watch her, even as they deny having done so.

The blue haired swamp boat driving Republycanthrope ladies of FL are not going to watch Oprah? Not even a blip on the radar screen. Barely worth reporting, except that BO winning FL would clinch the election.
I respect their right to protest but I have to laugh, they have nothing better to do than tell you what kind of grass you can grow on your lawn while they hang their watermelon flags out on the front porch. Whatever will they talk about over soup and crackers at the early bird special at Sweet Tomatoes?

By DantebenutoSeptember 6, 2008 - 7:55pmOprah Made Clear in 2007
she was endorsing Obama & further stated she would not invite any other political candidate on her show because she could not be fair or impartial, nor have her heart & attention devoted to the guest. Oprah dodn't have John or Cindy McCain on her show either. Oprah didn't have Romney, Huckabee, Ron Paul or Rudy on her show. The GOP & FIXED NEWS are so stupid. Oprah already explained why no other candidate will appear on her show.
Besides, Rove ordered Palin not to bark out of fear the dumb little doggie would be exposed for stupidity & lack of substance. She has no foreign policy experience. She couldn't even manage her daughter, much less would be able to manage a country. Rove will let Palin speak after that teach the dumb doggie a trick or two. If Biden is not timid, he will expose Palin's idiocy in the debates.

Come on girls. You should see it as a blessing.
Imagine:
The big O: Our guest today is Gov. Palin (wild applause). You don't believe a woman should be allowed an abortion under ANY circumstanstances, even RAPE and INCEST or if the woman might DIE????
P: No I don't. You have to think of the child first.
The big O: What if the woman abuses a baby she didn't want?
P: So?
The big O: I mean, what if the baby becomes sick? Who takes care of it? Will the baby have healthcare?
P: If the mother buys it.
The big O: What if the mother can't afford it?
P: That's not our fault. She should have kept her legs closed.
The big O: Your daughter was pregnant out of wedlock.
P: How dare you. That was something entirely different. You can't ask me about that.
The big O: Oooo kaay. Sooo, What do you think about the war in Iraq?
P: I don't think about it. I don't really have an opinion. It's God's war.
The big O: Your son is going there. You know that the Iraqis wrote "Islam" into the constitution as the "national religion" and half to two thirds of the 1.4 million Christians have been driven away from the land they have lived in for two thousand years, or beheaded or crucified?
P: That's not true.
The big O: Not true? What part?
P: All of it. Christians are in charge. The country is a free and stable democracy.
The big O: Why would you say that?
P: John told me. If John McCain said the surge worked and we won, then Christians are in charge and Iraq is a free and stable democracy.
The big O: Ooooo Kaaaay. Sooooo they tell me you balanced the budget in Alaska. Was it hard?
P: Really hard.
The big O: Really? I thought they have a lot of oil there?
P: Oh, we do. What was hard was lobbying the Government to get 27 million dollars for a town of 6 thousand people when the state gives thousands to every citizen because we have so much oil.
The big O: Hmmm, I guess that does sound hard. We heard you sold the big jet on Ebay.
P: Oh yea. We sold it to a local guy.
The big O: Oh, then you didn’t sell it on Ebay?
P: Yes we did.
The big O: You just said you sold it to a local guy and it says here for less than 600,000 what it was worth.
P: We sold it on Ebay. If John McCain says we sold it on Ebay, then we sold it on Ebay.
(with 45 minutes left in the show, The big O turns toward the audience and says) Well that’s all for today. I know we were supposed to talk about science and evolution, but I can't take anymore ignorance. Bye.

By John McCuntSeptember 7, 2008 - 5:53amOh, look! Another sock-puppet!
This election is certainly bringing them out of the woodwork. And after President Obama's inauguration, they'll all fade back into obscurity, too.
What flavor is the Kook-Aid today?
Yes, yes, I know, I'm supposed to address obvious troll sock-puppets with respect, and stick with meaningful discussion of the issues. But Jet-go-Splat McJukebox's advisors have already said this election's not ABOUT the issues! So any discussion of the issues would be meaningless noise to the troll-monkeys and their sock-puppets.
Got your MOS picked yet?

By ExpatinEUSeptember 7, 2008 - 3:10pmIt may sound strange coming from me.
But your posts are innapropriate.
Your first post may have been sarcasm, but it is harmful nonetheless.
Your last post about McCain's war experiences is wholly innapropriate. Yes, he sang like a canary... but EVERYBODY DOES. Holding up indefinately under torture cannot be fairly expected and is virtually unheard of... So why don't you give it a rest and keep it clean.
Don't put me in a position where I have to defend McCain again, please.

You know what they call a soldier who held up under torture??... K.I.A.

By MichtouSeptember 7, 2008 - 11:04amSarah's war - kill all the Christians in Iraq
.
Sarah says Iraq is "God's war".
In 2004 there was 1.4 MILLION Christians living in Iraq. The last estimate was somewhere between half to a third.
Since 2004, Christians have been beheaded, crucified, forced out of the country and Christian women have been forced to marry Muslim men and renounce Christianity.
Nearly every Christian Church in Iraq has been burned if not all.
Iraq wrote "Islam" into their constitution as the "national religion. Article 2 says no laws shall be made that disputes Islam.
George Bush and John McCain don’t want “favoritism”; they have refused to help the Christians.
George Bush and John McCain have the blood of Iraqi Christians on their hands. They will not let those Christians come here.
Is this what you support? Genocide against Iraqi Christians? Sarah does. And Oprah knows it.
