BUMP!
If that involves touching her - in any way - I'll pass...
Michael Moore a spokesman for slim-fast!!!!???
Maybe as the before
Whoopie represents the classic case of the non-thinking person. Head and mouth disease.
Moore could definitely use Slim-Fast, but he's more of a spokesman for Gravy... the other white meat condiment...
Whoppi got a whuppin
hear, hear!!!!!!!!!!! great job!
Take note star power: ordinary citizens have rights too. And we are fed up to HERE with your condescending BS.
getting dropped from slim fast should be the least of her worries, grow some eyebrows!
To Whoopi and other lefties: Did you speak out when the gay extremenists successfully had sponsors pull out of Dr Laura's TV show??? Did you speak out when movie studios would not touch "The Passion"???
I, for one, found both the remarks, and the person who stated them, objectionable.
In fact, I think the entire Democrat Party is objectionable, and more likely pornographic.
A good reason to make them have a XXX warning declared, and shown before any of them speak in public.
Is there a URL for this piece?
Slim-Fast is owned by a Democrat. She was fired by a Democrat.
Slim-fast is not censoring Whoopie. Slim-fast is not infringing on Whoopie's First Amendment rights. Whoopie is free and clear to say whatever she wants.
Slim-fast has the right to determine, however, the qualities and qualifications of spokesperson(s) for the company. They determined Goldberg is no longer qualified to represent them. That is fully their right.
This is a very good essay on the 1st amendment. Publish it far and wide.
Here we have an example of a multi-millionaire who nonetheless fails to understand that business cannot prosper by driving away customers in great thundering herds. A 6-year-old tyke at a makeshift sidewalk lemonade stand understands quite well what appears to be beyond the comprehension of Ms. Whoopsy-doo.
Didn't Whoopi once live on the street and turn tricks for heroin? I memory serves she deserves credit for her acheivement but proves that you can get the girl off the junk but you can't get the junk out of the woman.
And SlimFast, as an employer, has every right to voice their views. Voicing their views by taking her off the ads is their right as a Publicly traded company.
TPD
Both barrels, center target.
Nice shootin'
BUMP!
Well-written, but maybe a limerick would lighten the mood.
Whoopie thought she could crack jokes
At a couple Republican blokes
She dropped down a notch
While she talked of her crotch
And thought she was a voice of the folks.
No? Well, I tried. {{{jm}}}
Bump.
BTW, it might not be a bad idea for each of us to contact SlimFast with a note of thanks and let them know we intend to go right out and buy a pack of their product. I don't even need the stuff and I intend to do this -- just as I started dining at Denny's when that company stood up to a frivolous race-baiting shakedown attempt and declared that enough was enough.
I found the reference book that she and the Left are using:
Article [I.]
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of liberal speech, or of those elements of the press or persons, who are approved of by progressive organizations; The right to free speech shall be free from negative financial or other monetary implications including, but not limited to boycotts for any person meeting the specific requirements of the progressive ideology as espoused by the ACLU, NOW, NAACP and DNC; free speech can be selectively enforced should any member of a dissenting party, such as the RNC, wish to exercise these rights in a manner deemed to be either inflammatory to those groups previously mentioned, or as used to benefit the Conservative movement; for the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
lol, while I was reading this piece I kept thinking what journalist uses such a great vocabulary and come to find out it's you. Send it to TownHall.com perhaps they'll consider it.
A vulgar act
that's lacking tact
has made a fact
a lost contract
Another season,
Another reason
For firing whoopee.
I was trying to come up with a response to Whoopi pointing at her privates every time she said the president's name, but had some trouble. At first, I thought pointing to my butt would be a good rejoinder, but then I realized my a**hole is too good for her. The only other option wasn't practical, as I don't have access to a heaping pile of sh*t. Oh well.
What she means is, "Freedom means being able to act however you like, without the fear of consequences." This isn't freedom; it's license.
Whoopiecushion Goldbrick, has made a fortune off of spewing inanities that no one else could have gotten away with. Hey Whoopie! Welcome to the real world.
That is unless your name is George W. Bush and you can simply have the USSS herd them into a so-called "Free Speech area".
Clinton did this too, and FReepers were justifiably outraged.
But when Bush does it, they cheer.
Excellent! Send it to the NY Post.
We've traded bytes before.
Very well composed and thoughtful analysis.

Yesterday, I was in a cab in Washington, D.C. Without any prompting by me, the cabbie (a black guy) started ranting about how he hated Whoopi and her x-rated stunt. He said he had disliked her ever since she showed up at a few pro-abortion rallies. I gave him a nice tip.
You can tell just by listening to how they all talk that their world is just an echo chamber.
She,and most of her friends probably don't even know any conservatives or Republicans.
"Whoopi blamed the Republican Party for her dismissal – a pathetic cop out."
I am an Independent and got offended so therefore it wasnt just the Republican party.
Excellent!
JM--a most excellent treatise,well written and to the point.
Please send it around to be published--with a copyright notice attached, of course.
Thank you for distilling the argument so clearly. Nicely done.
Well, it certainly took them long enough to lob THAT charge. I don't recall anyone on Whoopi's side of the aisle jumping to the defense of Condi Rice or Colin Powell, who were true targets of racism by Dims. I also do not recall Whoopi jumping to the defense of Rush or Dr. Laura.
Please remind Whoopi she has a right to speak out, which everyone of us here should/will defend to the death (and many of us HAVE!!). She DOES NOT, however, have a RIGHT to be heard!!!!!
WHOOPSI
I can remember the first time my late father saw Whoopi in the movie, "The Color Purple". He asked me if I knew how to get in touch with her. I asked why. His reply, "Son, if I could place her out in my corn field, she would have crows bringing back corn, they stole three years ago". I had a mouthful of Myers's Rum and Pepsi, which went all across the living room. I'm laughing now, thinking back on that evening.
The irony of all this is that Whoopi's comments may have had very little to do with her dismissal. I suspect Slim-Fast was simply looking for an excuse to fire her . . . because her beam is a bit too wide for someone who's supposed to be selling a weight-loss product.
Whoopi is not in jail, she has not been arrested and she will not have to pay a fine.
No Whoopi, dont blame "the Republicans", blame each of the thousands of us "regular people" that do not see eye to eye with your Liberal beliefs nor your vile tounge!
Good job explaining the obvious to those who are more intellectual than I. Good luck on getting it published. I hope to see this fine work in print soon!
If Goldberg and what she says is the "heart and soul of America" like Kerry and the Breck boy says, why are they agaist the release of the tapes so that we all may see it? I'd like to see the "heart and soul of America.
Whoopi's public (or pubic?) vulgarity was stupid and adolescent. She presented a tiresome and vulgar negative stereotype of educationally-challenged minorities. What a loser...
This is a prestigious and lucrative gig and one she'll regret not being tapped for. Her stupidity and grossness at the fund-raiser will be the gaffe that keeps on giving.
Delicious!

Jim, can you post a transcript of Whoopi's remarks? I haven't been able to find a copy.
