Al Gore tried to claim the same loony thing when it was the Dixie Chicks. Apparently, the 1st Amendment guarantees entertainers full access to consumer's wallets.

Deconstructing Whoopi

If that involves touching her - in any way - I'll pass...

I can guarantee Mr. Khalif that if lilly-white Michael Moore had delivered those remarks, the reaction would have been identical.

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...

Someone should point out to Ms. Goldberg that the First Amendment only protects her from government reprisal; it does not insulate her from the ire of ordinary Americans who she might have actually insulted with her remarks.

hear, hear!!!!!!!!!!! great job!
Take note star power: ordinary citizens have rights too. And we are fed up to HERE with your condescending BS.

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"???

"Perhaps Mr. Khalif glossed over the fact that people found the content of the remarks objectionable, not the person delivering them."

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.

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.

Other reactions to Ms. Goldberg’s dismissal from Slim-Fast have been quite laughable, albeit predictable. Asa Khalif, head of Racial Unity USA in Pennsylvania, and self-proclaimed “diversity promoter” released a statement relating to Goldberg’s firing. He stated that “I smell racism from beginning to end. . . . SlimFast must realize that black women have every right to voice their views.”

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.

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}}}
