'View' of Whoopi makes little sense

As someone who once lived in the heart of Newport News, Va., and, in fact, in Michael Vick's school district, I was amused to hear Whoopi Goldberg's assessment that dogfighting is endemic to the Deep South and the sophisticates of our urban jungles do not understand.

Vick's supporters sometimes appear to want it both ways.

One day he is from the mean streets of Newport News and the next day he is from the Deep South.

I happened to live on one of those mean streets of Newport News, and not once did I ever have to dodge bullets after parking the car in the driveway and making my way to the front door of my humble abode.

Not once did I ever have to shoo away the neighborhood prowler from the premises.

It is true that the owner of the neighborhood convenience store had the obligatory bars on the front windows, but I always suspected it was more out of being extra cautious than being a frequent victim of robbery.

And there was a nearby used-car dealership that never sold any cars, which seemed peculiar at the time. But who knows whether it was a front to launder money?

I have an uncle and cousins that live in New Port News. It is a blue collar town that supports the shipbuilding industry. There is nothing “deep south” about it.

[Old Grumpy]

She’s an obnoxious boor. I feel she was showing that she was totally capable of taking over where Rosie O. left off.

[himno hero]

so whats the deal?

she is a common woman with common interests which are normal amongst her peers....just common, close to the earth and supportive of bloodsport...

[laweeks]

Do you mean Karin Johnson, the former crack and welfare queen who has admitted to more than one taxpayer-funded abortion? That one???????? Who is no funnier than a prefrontal lobotomy? That one?

I try to pay as little attention to that no-talent, anti-American racist as is possible. Too bad her face is again on TV.

‘I have an uncle and cousins that live in New Port News. It is a blue collar town that supports the shipbuilding industry. There is nothing “deep south” about it.’

Yep. But have you ever seen a moonbat liberal let facts get in the way previously?

Me neither.

” ....Goldberg undoubtedly would resist applying her brand of cultural relativism to someone who proudly waves the Confederate flag.”

Unless it was a Black Man doing so.

Which is the point about Goldberg thats so devastating.

" ....Goldberg undoubtedly would resist applying her brand of cultural relativism to someone who proudly waves the Confederate flag."

But that's racist doncha know?

Whoopi made her 'mark' on the View which is EXACTLY what ABC and Ms. Walters wanted. Be outrageous...get the show talked about. And here we are...many articles later (and how many FR threads). If we all just ignore The View, it will slip into the ratings abyss. If we make their Hot Topics our Hot Topics...well I think we are playing into their hands.

I used to watch this crap...no more. IMO, I saw Rosie literally clawing the others to be 'outrageous.' She wanted attention and/or out of her contract...she got both (and I realized what suckers the Viewing audience is/was). No more for me.

Just my two cents...

[ozzymandus]

I’m surprised there hasn’t been any outcry from other blacks about this idiot woman saying “Dogfighting is OK for us black people”.

[4yearlurker]

Just add Goldberg to the long list of: “Why TV sucks!!”

[RexBeach]

It seems that Whoopi thinks the “deep south” is anywhere south of Manhattan.

She is a snob. She has probably aspired to being a snob all of her life.

[vetsvette]

In her defense, Whoopi readily admits that she doesn’t do a lot of thinking about anything and runs her life primarily on the basis of how she feels about everything. She’s a very rare example of an honest liberal.

[RexBeach]

Wow. That’s quite a defense! :)

[vetsvette]

“Wow. That’s quite a defense! :)”

Hey, we’re talking about Whoopi here!
