Oprah vs. Sarah-cuda
How does it feel to lose your place as the most electrifying woman in America, Oprah?
Not good. Not good at all.
The battle between Oprah and Sarah Palin been playing out all day on Drudge.
TMZ has Oprah’s denial of the Drudge item on internal feuding at the O Show over booking Gov. Palin.
Wonder if she’s crying her eyelashes off again today?

Pearl of wisdom featured on Oprah’s website:
“I believe that one of life’s greatest risks is never daring to take risk.”
Come on, O. Conquer your fear.

Too bad that Oprah is beyond rich. She will buy her way out of this somehow, but will lose lots and lots of viewers.
I would think she would be hinding under her desk.
I wonder if her viewers are smart enough to see the bias and stop watching.
Sure, because you’re afraid if you have her on now, it will diminish Odumbo’s chances.
Already too late for that…
Just hope Palin doesn’t go on her show after her and McCain win in November.
Long live the self-made woman–may the crybaby just GO AWAY! GAWD am I sick to death of hateful yet whining liberal women.
It’s funny that Oprah says her show will not be used as a political forum, yet she personally appears with jug-ears at speeches earlier this year. As my sister said when she e-mailed her, she won’t buy any products her show advertises because Oprah is a racist. LOL
I LOVE when people can throw that BS back at the morally superior.
I already e-mailed Oprah and stated that she has lost me as a viewer and purchaser of her magazine and products by her assorted camp followers.
I also emailed GE, Lowe’s and Chase. They are all major sponsors of Oprah, and have all lost my business.
As I stated in my e-mail, Gov Palin’s experiences resonates more deeply with me, and the majority of her viewers, than Barack Obama ever could. As a woman also juggling family, work, marriage, I would have like the opportunity to get to know Sarah Palin better.
It is disappointing that Oprah broke her neutrality and stated non-partisanship to endorse Barack Obama and grant him airtime.
Now I have five free hours a week.
What to do, what to do?
I think I’ll hit the gym and work on my goal of being “fabulous by fifty” without Oprah’s needling.
They’re not.
The Us Weekly readers caught on. That gives me some hope.
Does that mean Palin won’t be on the Oprah produced Rachael Ray show sharing her Moose Stew recipe with Rach? (How much EVOO do you use with moose anyway?)
Ah, who cares? Her show, she can pick her guests.
I don’t watch that trash anyway.
Oprah is a partisan now. She chose her side and is stuck with it. Too bad. A professional would have kept her politics to herself in order to keep her business safe from the alienation of roughly half the people in the country. Just foolish.
It is clear to me that Oprah is either a left-wing political hack or a blatant racist. Since there is no television in my home, we do not watch her ridiculous show, but if there were a television in my home, we would not watch her ridiculous show.
SSSSSUUUURRRREEE
As much as I want to bash her for her blind support of Barry O’Hopenchange, I myself might be inclined to give just a bit of slack, due to what she said. Says she does not want the show to become a political platform (although she did have both candidates on in 2004, and I think, 2000), and (assuming it’s true) Obama has not appeared since at least officially announcing as a candidate.
I think the key words might be “on the show,” and assuming she sticks by it, and doesn’t discuss it, and all that, then, well, OK then.
But if she violates the spirit of that pledge, by pushing Obama, or the letter of it, by actually having him or a spokesman or even his wife on, then I will be one of the first to pile on if she doesn’t follow through.
Show of hands… who thought she wasn’t biased.
Anyone?
Why do I hear crickets?
Oprah sasy:
I have never watched Oprah but am happy to hear that this woman is getting her comuppance…..never mix business and politics unless your business is politics….I do believe this has now been proven over and over again this week because you never know who your customer is.
Well, when she formally endorsed Obama on her show, there was a huge backlash. This will just add more fuel to that fire because of her unwillingness to have a women VP candidate on her show.
Keep offending more American women, it will only result in the diminishing of her precious brand.
She can do whatever she wants with her show, I am just happy now that women are starting to wake-up to the abject liberalism that it spews forth disguised as “self-help”. Right now I would say that the odds are even that Barry will make appearance #3 on her show before the election and prove Oprah to again be a liar.
I’ve never understood the appeal of Oprah or her cult. So, it’s with a big yawn that I read this story.
The Big O would use every unfair tactic in the book to destroy Palin.
It’s one thing to have a fair fight. It’s another to be ganged up on. A Big O show-down would be 200+ mentally deficient collectivist hags in the audience versus one individualist.
Oprah can decide not to issue guest invites to whomever she wants. That’s her right. I find it interesting, however, that a woman so focused on creating and supporting strong women would ignore someone like Sarah Palin. Oprah has always ranted about showcasing strong female role models. She should be praising Gov. Palin even if she disagrees with her on some or many issues.
Oh, and by the way, Oprah made her show a political platform the day she asked Obama about the Presidency while as her guest. She made it more of one the day she endorsed a political candidate and used her status to do it. That’s the truth whether she likes it or not.
Shows like “Oprah”..
Magazines like “Us”..
People like “Obama”..
Show us how stupid most human beings are…
It is a sad commentary on 21st Century America that anyone gives a rat’s behind what Oprah Winfrey thinks about anything.
There are times, like the “importance” afforded people like Oprah and Obama, when I wonder if the great experiment that is America is over — and the results are ready to be washed down the sink.
I never have watched her. I am a skinny-white-conservative and she is fat-black-liberal. We have nothing in common.
Like the rest of the ‘we’re smarter than you’ left, Oprah
feelsdictates that Sarah Palin just doesn’t fit their mold of what a successful woman should be.I’ve never been able to figure out why she’s so popular and why her blessing translates to sales. She’s a talk show host. Who cares what she says?
Isn’t publicly supporting a candidate (because of the issues, no other reason) using your show as a platform for that candidate? Especially when you have him on the show to do it?
Folks, this is a diva/elitist who could care less what us “little people” want.
After all, this is a women who showed up at a Hermes store in Paris after closing hours and demanded they open it up for her. When they refused, she cried racism.
This sounds RASCIST to me.
I actually don’t believe that, mind you, but it seems to be the thing to say today. No? How about SEXIST? No? Something that CAIR might take offense at?
C’mon, there has to be an “ism” at work here. This is Oprah we’re talking about. She defines her world by the ISM’s she faces…
I used to buy a lot of TV advertising in small-town mid-america. In the afternoons, Oprah was always the top-rated show across many demographics in places like, oh, Green Bay, Wisconsin. These places are mostly Republican. She is definitely out of touch with many of her viewers.
Oprah made her show political when she decided to run a 16 page love letter tribute to Obama on her Oprah site.
In her statement she claims:
The item in today’s Drudge Report is categorically untrue.
Which category Oprah? Seems to me that it was uncategorically true!
Guess what OPRAH…
TO LATE YOUR LIBERAL VIEWS ARE KNOW AND YOU SCARED OF THE BARRACUDA SHOWING WHAT A LOONEY TUNE YOU REALLY ARE !!!!!! TELL THE TRUTH YOU SCARED OF SARAH PALIN BEING MORE OF A REAL WOMAN THAN YOU ARE.
sorry for the shouting but i get so mad when a truely morally strong woman stands up and the liberals try to destroy them. Liberals are scared cause Sarah shows that she can be a self made independant strong woman, like the women who made this country great, and not be a wild loon like the liberals.
Sarah reminds me of the strong pioneer women of this countrys history. The ones who work in the farming fields, sewing to clothe family, building, herding cattle, hunting to feed the family, and making a life out of nothing. Sarah is the modern day pioneer woman.
No, no, no…I don’t want Governor Palin to lower herself and appear on that show! Oprah does not represent or appeal to social con women like me!
Another liberal hoax exposed.
She may or may not be a left-wing political hack, but she is most certainly a RACIST!
OPRAH is a RACIST!
As I watch this play out, it occurs that perhaps one of the great tributary benefits of the McCain/Palin presidency just might be a much-needed demystification and “de-divination” of our ridiculously vaunted celebrity class. Who knows, maybe we’ll even stop paying these morons tens of millions (and more) for three or four weeks work on a film! (I’m not holding my breath, but just musing…)
If only I had ever watched her show in the past.
Then I could scream at her about how I would never watch her again!!!
Alas, one cannot subtract zero from zero and get anything other than zero.
I guess Oprah wears one of these in size 4XL to bed each night.
Winner…. Sarah-cuda
Sarahcuda has better things to take care of then to go on Op. Shes a very busy lady, preparing to clean up DC, still running Alaska, spend time with a loving family, hunt down a critter, catch a couple of fish, do a play by play for a junior hockey team, play point guard in a charity pickup basketball game against the Nets, inspect the National Guard unit on duty on the DEW line and after lunch…….
That is the dumbest thing I have ever read. Thank God that our founding fathers didn’t think that way.
What about those harpies on “The View”? How many days did they gush over Mrs. Barry-O? I would like to see Joy Behar tell Sarah Palin what a bad person/mother she is to her face.
You know they fear her when Oprah Winfrey refuses to put her on. Obama and his cohorts are shaking in their boots.
Oprah is an American success story that can really be inspirational. Born into poverty. Used her God-given talents to become one of the wealthiest women in the world.
Too bad she seems to have forgotten that. And seems to believe all the hype about herself.
which came first Obama or Oprah leaving the church of GD America??
Yah, I didn’t watch Oprah already. Too bothered by the cult of Oprah.
It’s simple, Liberals are jealous of high-achievers, especially God-fearing ones.
Look how Black liberals treat successful blacks- Jesse, ya hear?
Didn’t Joe Biden say that?
Btw, I recall that Oprah had George W Bush on her show during the campaign in 2000. He showed very well, btw. I only watched it that day because I heard he would be on. So, she’s not exactly being straight when she says she’s not having candidates on…..
D’Oprah was stupid enough to endorse Odumbo in spite of alienating half her audience, liberal arrogance on display! Doprah stupidly declared that a man was having a miracle baby, when in fact we all knew the man was really a woman.
I’ll take Sarah-Cuda over angry/anti-American morons like Doprah Winfrey anyday.
Another form of ultimate revenge:
After McCain/Palin take office, it is finally revealed (a la the John Edwards episode) that Keith Olbermann is the father of Oprahs’ illegitimate child.
Conservatives would then pour overwhelming emphathy & forgiveness upon her, thus ratcheting up the excruciating pain of emotional dissonance both father and mother alike could never reconcile.
They would both totally lose their fanatic liberal audiences, of course. However, they would be loved.
Oh the pain.
She’ll be gaining back about 75 lbs after her boy loses this election.
Why does Oprah assume that Sarah Palin would appear on her show? Sarah doesn’t need the Oprah Show to get votes.

The lovable voice of women everywhere. Who is so tender-hearted, so compassionate, that she reaches out to the least of us to share any message of hope…unless you happen to be conservative and your message does not fall into line with her personal philosophies regarding politics. Another fine example of the “inclusive and tolerant” crowd on the left.
How many conservative women (and men, to be fair) watch Oprah, or the Oxygen network, in blissful ignorance of what goes on behind the scenes? I know the decision on Palin’s appearance may not be set, but have a feeling it won’t come together. I did not know about the Clarence Thomas rebuff until I read this piece from Drudge. Maybe it is time to get the word out and see if we have any power in our numbers. She has the right to have whoever she wishes on her show. We have the right to spread the message regarding her intolerance, and to turn the channel.
I wish I could say I’ve never watched her show, but being flawed humans I’m sure most of us have been sucked in at one time or another. Women in America need to realize that she has made her fortune by acting like one of us on her program and showing her true colors everywhere else. It is so embarrassing as a woman to watch the studio audience go crazy on her Favorite Things “give away” show. Worshiping her! She’s not giving you anything. Except maybe the finger!
In which case we will have stock footage of Oprah snarfing down chocolate like there is no tommorrow…woo hoo!
Oprah shows what she really is.
I’m really hoping that this election creates more backlash against the media and those celebutards that the public holds so dear.
Oh wait, it’s already happening.
I love it when a palin comes together-Arizona Neanderthal
(Hey -no plagiarism on this site, baby!)
Fine, The Oprah won’t have her. Am betting that Rush, Hannity, Laura, and good ol’ Papa Bear will welcome Sarah with open arms.
Oprah hasn’t had any candidates on her show since the election began. Not Obama, not Hillary, not anyone.
Now who’s whining?
Taking bets that if Palin had aborted her baby, “O” would have her on the show.
Line forms here >>>
I do NOT care for Oprah any longer…
she is biased.
Oprah needs to learn from Bill O’Reilly this week when he interviewed Obama. It’s all about the brand and the ratings so strike while the iron is hot, Oprah!!
Then have Obama on weekly until the election as pennance to the Messiah.
I think it is a missed opportunity for other women not to hear Gov. Palin’s story, however, let’s keep our perspective here.
As long as she is consistent in her policy, who cares? Her show is her business, as in her company, so she should be allowed to produce it as she pleases. There are, after all other channels.
For the record I have never, ever watched her show– too busy working and not her demographic.
The first thing to learn from O’Reilly is don’t ask Obama questions if he doesn’t have a teleprompter. He turns into an bumbling idiot. Did anyone see that interview? It was pretty pathetic.
Gee, does doing a “happy dance” for SnoBoma count as politics?
My wife was a HUGE Oprah fan for years and years. Partly due to all the ‘give-aways’ like at Christmas, etc. I’ll admit that Oprah did some nice things for her supporters, but they never knew there was always a price.
I couldn’t even talk if the ‘O’ was on TV. She wouldn’t speak to me for 2 days if I ‘bad-mouthed’ Oprah (by trying to tell her the truth.)
Then one day she read an article about one of the religion’s Oprah was peddling and miraculously saw the light! I’ll bet she spent another 2 days in shock, wonder how she could have been so blind to the cult of Oprah for all those years.
For the past 6 months or so she has refused to watch anything that has to do with Oprah and will probably stay that way forever (since she definitely has a memory like an Obama speech…it goes on and on and on.)
BTW, I have read a few some-what rude comments about Oprah here– are you people also bemoaning the Palin family personal attacks? Not very consistent, or nice. I’m not an Oprah fan but it doesn’t mean I have anything against her.
I don’t care if Sarah is on Oprah’s show. Her public support of Obama throws her excuse about not politicizing her show right out the door. Besides, she doesn’t have to focus on anything political when it comes to Palin. How about focusing on her personal story?
You need to talk to LGM…I think he can.
GP, I don’t think I could stand watching BO & BO try to outdazzle each other with their brilliant intellects. How did they get both of those egos in one room?
No, actually it was a 45 minute speech delivered by Barack Insane Obama. But after they edited all the uh’s and er’s out, that was all that was left.
The election has begun?
I thought election day was in November.
RE: post 58
I am quoting Arizona Neanderthal
I used to like Oprah a lot — i.e. before she endorsed Obama. Now, even the faint trace of respect that somehow remained in me for her has vanished, and vanished with utter disgust.
God bless Sarah Palin who will be, after her stint as VP to John McCain, the next POTUS.
And she does not need to be in Oprah’s show to attain that!
O’Reilly wasn’t too bad. He was asking easy, straightforward questions. Anyone running for POTUS should be able to give a pretty direct answer to these questions. Obama just bumbled around never giving a direct answer to anything. He looked like he had no idea what he was talking about. O’Reilly had to essentially let him get away with it in order to move the interview along.
I’m waiting for Tuesday. O’Reilly says that’s when the segment when he asks Obama about Ayers and company will be aired.
I thought Oprah fought for the empowerment of women? What a crock.
thats what it is!! scary!! very true….thats why she likes the new bi-racial messiah so much..
can you dig it?
Oprah is one of the most vapid people on TV. Why in the world would Sarah Palin want to go on her show? Oprah is clearly in the tank for Obama. To what depths might Oprah sink to to make Sarah Palin look bad?
Never get into a fight with the person who can edit the tape after you crush them in a debate. You will lose when the episode is aired regardless of how well you won in the studio.
#72 RonRockstar
HAHAHAHA!!! HAHAHAHA!!!
guitarplayer #76, I am pretty sure we saw the same thing. I did enjoy watching him push Obama to admit he was wrong about the surge.

She may or may not be a cult leader, but she is promoting two of them…
I can’t believe anyone would still be watching her show. I have always thought she was liberal/racist. She has always tried to sensationalize everything in order to make another buck. I hope Palin never goes on her show, even after winning.
How come this doesn’t surprise me? The dilemma it must bring. Palin=Huge Ratings… Palin=Hurt Obama… Huge Ratings… Hurt Obama…. Huge Ratings… Hurt Obama… Wait… Lose Viewers! What is she to do?
I stop watching Oprah after she denied that Jesus is the only way to heaven.
All that money and fame has made her liberal minded.
Has PUMA commented on this yet?
Hockey mom and moose hunter Sarah is far to (misspelled on purpose in honor of our featured moonbats on another thread) cultured to appear on Oprah’s show. Sarah shouldn’t have to lower herself to the pseudo-intellectual depths of the likes of Oprah.
Let it frickin play out. If Drudge had a report that Santa Clause was real, how many people would believe it?
Hasn’t O been paying any attention to what was happening to US this week? The sleeping giant has awakened and we don’t like seeing people not playing nicely with Sarah Palin.
Which is exactly why Palin should steer clear of Oprah.
My collie says:
misstressjustice, I don’t think anyone here really gives a rats patootie about Oprah. We are all just so fired up about Gov. Palin on the ticket that we are firing both barrels at anything moving. We’ll be handing out candy to the kids later.
Sick, Sick, Sick…. When will the left stop lying and hate-mongering. It’s lie, after lie, after lie, that comes out of the left. How can anyone with a brain believe what they say anymore? I guess the brainwashed cling on.
One smart collie you got there. My dog isn’t interested in politics – only frisbees.
I think you’re right that Palin should stay away from the show.
Oprah who?
See the firestorm at Oprah’s website message board here, already at least 15 to 20 threads and counting. There are many very unhappy Oprah viewers today.
Oprah should and likely will have her on. I have yet to hear Palin discuss intelligent design in schools, abortion restrictions(even if there’s rape and/or incest), or numerous other issues since she’s been named the nominee.
America should know all about Palin’s belief system and policy ideas. I’d book her on ASAP. If the majority of Americans agree with her policies and beliefs, I’d be shocked, but hey you never know.
Sorry, O, but Sarah’s going to be too busy after the election, what with being the vice-president and all.
I have to agree. As much as we are (justifiably) up in arms about attempts to bring back the Fairness Doctrine (an oxymoron if ever there was one), we also don’t have the right to tell her who to have on her show. We do have the right, however, to vote with our wallets. Don’t watch her show. Don’t support her advertisers. Tell her advertisers why we’re not watching.
Community activism can be fun!!
