Last night I heard Oprah saying the war in Afghanistan had very little impact on her because there was little to remind her it was going on. That made me wonder...why don't we see the pictures of the dead, their caskets, etc, like we did when Bush was president. We used to see their pictures on NBC and other newscasts, and even in the big papers. Now we see nothing of the sort. Anyone? Lets all pitch in to buy Herring a Casket !!!! |

You are a piece of ****. That probably explains it, eh? |

I've been a fan of Oprah since she won the libel suit brought against her in the late 1990's by those Texas cattlemen. I don't watch her show, but I am aware of her presence and many of the good deeds she does with her money and influence. She publishes a classy magazine, too. I know that because my wife subscribes and I look through it every month. My gut tells me Oprah is not liked by a certain element here because: A. She's black and, even worse, a black woman. B. She's very influential in many areas, perhaps the most influential woman in the world. C. She's a self-made billionaire. D. She's pretty much dedicated to liberal causes. E. She helped Obama get elected. These, to me, are all reasons to admire her, and reasons for the wigged-out righties to hate her. Live long and prosper, Oprah. |

Or Jaylo? ...and that is the expressions of disdain and even disgust some have posted here about Oprah.

Oprah is totally boring to me. It's a chick show for Chist's sake. You go ahead and be a fan, Harriet. More power to ya. Live long and prosper, Oprah. |

Sounds to me that you are overcompensating for shameful atrocities you and your ancestors perpetrated on blacks and Jews. Are you a former KKK Klansman? BTW D and E is all that's needed to make her one of those steeenkin groupies. |
