Whoopi Goldberg: Sarah Palin 'Is a Very Dangerous Woman' By Whoopi Goldberg I just have to talk about Sarah Palin’s speech a little bit. She gave a really amazing speech, very strong, very strident and it gave the Republicans everything they wanted to hear. They know that she’s a tough chick and she’s a babe and she’s a mom and all those other wonderful things we should be celebrating — the first time I think we’ve ever celebrated all of these things in a woman. Maybe Hillary Clinton wasn’t such a babe but she was defiantly strident and strong and...

Who let Whoopi Goldberg blog without an editor? In her Wow-O-Wow blog post titled "Sarah Palin Is a Very Dangerous Woman," she lobs a wild pitch about the Alaskan Independence Party kerfuffle: "I also thought that this idea of America first coming from her was kind of strange because she was one of the people who wanted to succeed from the United States. She was part of a campaign to succeed Alaska from the United States of America." Where’s the editor to say "Sorry, dear, don't you mean ‘secede’?" Whoopi’s article concluded by suggesting Gov. Palin's speech reminded her of...

Whoa! "Geeks On Caffeine" has gone over the top today! GOC takes on both Whoopi Goldberg and her recent comment that the "n-word" is both a "term of affection" and "a black word only!" Here's to hoping that the moderators will allow this cartoon to remain posted, because the message is great! A must read for today! NOTE: The author of the comic has requested that you visit his web site and refrain from pasting the cartoon within the thread. Thanks!

"View" co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck was in tears Thursday after a discussion about the use of the n-word, ....... During a segment covering Jesse Jackson's recent use of the n-word while preparing to tape an interview on FOX News, Whoopi and co-host Sherri Shepard, who are both black, contested that the word has a different meaning for black people. "It's something that means something way different to me than it does to you," said Shepard. "I can use it as a term of endearment." Hasslebeck tearfully replied that "when we live in a world where pop culture then uses that term,...

Do not say black and white Americans live in the same world or you will feel the wrath of Whoopi Goldberg. That is what Elisabeth Hasselbeck discovered on the July 17 edition of "The View." Upon suggesting that, Whoopi reduced Elisabeth to tears. On the news of Jesse Jackson’s use of the "n" word, the conversation quickly developed into the double standard involved between a white and black person’s use of the word. Sherri Shepherd and Whoopi Goldberg admitted there is a double standard, but added there should be. Sherri Shepherd said she uses the word "as a term of...

The right of African-Americans to vote in the United States is not permanent according to "View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg. On the July 14 edition, Whoopi echoed the popular Internet rumor from a few years ago that voting rights for African-Americans was set to expire in 2007. [audio available here [0]] "Do you know that we are the only people in the United States who have to have their voting rights okayed every couple of years? Did you know that they have to vote on the Voting Rights Bill for black folks? Can we just, can one of you candidates- can...

"Whoops!" Just weeks after claiming she would reshape her faltering radio program to focus on a New York City audience, Whoopi Goldberg has now been cancelled even there. According to press and trade reports today, Wake Up With Whoopi was yanked from WKTU-FM today without warning, other than a brief note sent to staffers mere hours before the change. Poor ratings were cited by the station.Recently, after similar results led to terminations in Chicago and Philly, your Radio Equalizer speculated that Whoopi’s radio days appeared numbered. Now, one can easily expect the syndicated program to be shut down, perhaps in...

Don't forget Laura we be on The View tomorrow. It will be worthwhile to see her taking on the Witches of Eastwick.

Talk show hostess and New York Times bestseller Laura Ingraham will sit in for Elisabeth Hasselbeck on 'The View' on November 12, 2007. Laura confirmed it once again on today's radio show. Apparently, Elisabeth will be on maternity leave. (Better that than Whoopi being on maternity leave - eh?) Laura, Danger Stay Back! Humvee in Iraq - Feb 06, 2006

First Barry Manilow, Now Whoopi Goldberg Hassle The View's Hasselbeck over Conservative/Pro-Life Views Goldberg, who is said to have had at least 6 abortions, says, "Americans ought to 'revere' women, who have had abortions By Peter J. Smith NEW YORK, October 4, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Once again the pro-life views of Elisabeth Hasselbeck, the only conservative woman on ABC's "The View," have landed her in trouble after a heated exchange with Whoopi Goldberg, Rosie O'Donnell's replacement, on Wednesday's program edition. Hasselbeck noted her opinion that presidential Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton's proposal to give $5,000 for a new birth could help...

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...

LOS ANGELES — It’s one of those days. You give people a microphone, or you vote them into office, and you’d think that they’d think before they open up their mouths. You’d think that some modicum of intelligence and common sense would be required for them to get where they are. And yet there they are, saying things, doing things, that leave you open-mouthed, wondering whether they think we’re that dumb, or they really are. You know who I mean. Whoopi Goldberg. Larry Craig. Even the Fred Thompson campaign. Spare me.

Dear Ms. Whoopi Goldberg, don't tell me that torturing animals (dog-fighting) -- "hanging, drowning, and slamming at least one dog's body to the ground" -- is an integral part of Southerners' "cultural upbringing." I've lived in the Deep South for about 5 years, visited family there many times, and vacationed there more times than I can remember. My experiences? Good, decent people, and beautiful cities, countryside, and beaches. So how did this dog-fighting controversy get started? Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick was busted red-handed running a chamber of horrors for canines. Not only was he fighting dogs, but torturing them...

arbara Walters announced that comedian, actress, and liberal activist Whoopi Goldberg will take Rosie O'Donnell's place as the moderator on "The View." Barbara Walters made the announcement. "Today is the day we have been waiting for.  You are about to meet the new moderator of 'The View' and we are thrilled. She is brilliant. She is funny. She's an enormous talent. She's an Oscar winning actress, a Broadway superstar. And we have her. Please join us in welcoming Whoopi Goldberg."       Although she will likely be less controversial than Rosie she does have a history of left wing remarks. Most recently, as...

THE POOR West African nation Guinea-Bissau wants Whoopi Goldberg to become their Angelina Jolie. Shed light on its troubles. Maybe adopt it. The G-B government targeted Whoopi after learning her DNA test showed her ancestors hailed from there. They're hoping maybe Whoopi could help the country's image. So they decided to write her a letter on official stationery embossed with the country's seal. It was hand-delivered to the U.S. Embassy, which passed it on to the State Department with instructions for delivery to Whoopi. "It is with great euphoria that the government of Guinea-Bissau... learned of your ancestral origins," the...

Emergency rooms throughout the New York metropolitan region experienced an influx of patients on the morning of July 31. It was the common symptoms that led health officials to pinpoint a common pathogen. “People were complaining of nausea, ringing in the ears, and severe anxiety,” said Downtown Jersey City Hospital emergency room triage nurse, Anita Mann. “I thought, when have I seen this before? Then it hit me. It was after Al Franken’s radio show first hit the New York airwaves.” Given this clue, the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene was able to identify Clear Channel...

LOS ANGELES -- Call it Radio Free Whoopi. Whoopi Goldberg announced Monday she'll be joining the growing ranks of radio voices this summer when she launches a live, syndicated program, "Wake Up With Whoopi." "I'm going to talk to people. People are going to talk to me. I'm going to be singing and dancing in my chair. I'm going to wake people up," Goldberg told The Associated Press by phone. "I want to have a good time in the morning and I want everyone who wakes up with me to have a good time." The show will air weekday mornings...

ITHACA—Outspoken liberal actor Whoopi Goldberg delivered an obscenity laden tirade to students and parents, bashing Republicans and joking about drugs and menopause, at Cornell University’s “family weekend” comedy show on Friday (October 28).“Tom DeLay in handcuffs made my week,”Goldberg reportedly said, referring to the arrest of the former House majority leader. “When they took his mug shot and fingerprints, I thought I’d died and went to heaven.”In addition to attacks on the Bush adminstration and FEMA, Goldberg also “shocked audience members with frank talk about bathroom humor, her marijuana use and aging,” the Cornell Daily Sun reported.“If you thought you...

ITHACA--Foul-mouthed, left wing, comedian Whoopi Goldberg has told the Ithaca Journal that she enjoys "hanging out" in Ithaca.She has spent time at a local bar in Collegetown, the Journal reports, and gone shopping at a local used book store."I like Ithaca," Goldberg said.

Q: Before the election, Alec Baldwin; Rosie O'Donnell Janeane Garafalo, Whoopi Goldberg; Al Franken; Cher; Phil Donahue; Rob Reiner, Barbra Streisand; and Jan Fonda all promised to move from the U.S, if President Bush were re-elected. Who left, and where are they now?? - Stuart Posselt, Minden, Nev. All still live in the good old USA. None seriously considered moving, and our research turned up no public "promises." That list was spread on the web and in print,perhaps to impugn the patriotism of these outspoken liberals (Bold added)

WHOOPI Goldberg is still mad at the Democrats. Goldberg, who was renounced last summer after making a lame double entendre about George W. Bush at a John Kerry fund-raiser, told Air America's "Politically Correct" host David Bender: "My party abandoned me. There's no other way to say it: they put their tails between their legs and they ran. I've closed my eyes to the party. I haven't turned my back on them, but I no longer feel comfortable saying that I feel like I'm represented by them. Until people can stand up for what's right in the face of whatever...

According to senate minority leader Harry Reid and his friends, democrats must block the constitutional appointment process in order to protect you from right-wing radical judges. They say they use the filibuster only in the most extreme situations, to block confirmation of extremely dangerous radicals to the bench for sake of all mankind. Heroes they are really, at least in their own minds… I can almost see their point too. Who would want some extreme right-wing wacko deciding justice in America? I mean, what if judges actually just stuck to the written law and constitution and applied them to cases...

Some comics just want to entertain us with lighthearted, giggly riffs on everyday life. But others prefer rattling the cultural cage. They bodaciously amuse or appall us with their gleefully indecorous rants on contentious political and social issues and personalities. It's no secret that Whoopi Goldberg has always been one of those other comics, an unabashedly provocative prankster. So jump back. Whoopi's getting ready to wail again.

HUMAN EVENTS has learned that a billboard blitz "thanking" Hollywood for the reelection of President Bush will be unveiled early next week. The advertisements feature the faces of liberal Hollywood icons Michael Moore, Whoopi Goldberg, Ben Affleck, Martin Sheen, Chevy Chase, Barbara Streisand, and Sean Penn, and offer thanks to Hollywood their help getting President Bush reelected. Two versions of the billboard were created, both "thanking" Hollywood -- the first for "4 more years" and the second for "W. Still President." Billboard creator Citizens United, a group that advocates a return to traditional American values, has purchased the use of...

It may have all started with James Carville’s infamous political phrase, “It’s the economy, stupid.” The phrase was not intended to insult the American public. Certainly, they were not stupid. It was the sitting president that was stupid, of course. In his presidency, he had won a war in the Middle East, chased the Iraqi army out of Kuwait, and generally enjoyed overwhelming approval ratings until America began to focus on the economy…because they were told it was bad, bad, bad. Lets see, was it a recession…..or was it a depression? Whatever. Of course, the economy in 1992 was not...

Hollywood Bush-basher Whoopi Goldberg is up to her old tricks again, using filthy language to attack President Bush in her new Broadway Show. When we last saw Whoopi in July, she was starring in a Kerry-Edwards fundraiser at Radio City Music Hall, where she used her monologue to compare the President of the United States to her genitals. That little knee-slapper cost Whoopi a six figure endorsement contract with Slim Fast, which no longer wanted her representing their products. Now that Goldberg is back on Broadway, she's pushing the envelope once again. And once again Bush is the target. Whoopi...

CHICAGO -- Friday night, Grammy award winner Stevie Wonder and comedian Robin Williams, two outspoken critics of President Bush, will be in Chicago to raise $500 per person for Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Barack Obama. Pop and soul singer Stevie Wonder, who campaigned on behalf of Al Gore in 2000, will be joined by Robin Williams, who has been an outspoken critic of President Bush. Earlier this year at the Berlin Film Festival before a group of international journalists and film critics, Williams criticized Bush's decision to rid Iraq of Saddam Hussein and questioned the search for WMDs. "Bush is...

Friday's scheduled performance by Oscar-winning actress and comedian Whoopi Goldberg at the Chicago Theatre has been canceled. There was no reason given for scrapping the stand-up comedy show by Goldberg.

Whoopi Goldberg has pulled out of appearing on American TV show The View - in a bid to avoid further political controversy. The comedienne, who was scheduled to appear on network ABC's talk show yesterday, canceled her appearance as she is concerned her comments could detract from the Democratic convention. Goldberg was recently dropped as a spokesperson for diet aid company Slim-Fast after she mocked US President George W Bush at a Democratic fundraiser. A source says, "Those comments she made last time made headlines. It's inevitable that whole thing would have been a topic of conversation on The View...

In response to being fired by Slim-Fast for her lewd and outrageous anti-Bush diatribe at John Kerry’s exclusive, closed-door fundraiser on July 8th, the now-infamous Radio City “Hate Fest,” Whoopi Goldberg stated that “America's heart and soul is freedom of expression without fear of reprisal.” A close reading of Ms. Goldberg’s remarks divulges Hollywood’s fundamental misunderstanding of the First Amendment and the freedom of expression. The First Amendment is not the exclusive property and privilege of the Hollywood elite; but, perhaps more pointedly, the First Amendment absolutely does not shield people who exercise their First Amendment rights from the consequences...

A tale of two comedians Whitney Blake Cavalier Daily Associate Editor IN THE past few weeks, two influential African-American icons have made inflammatory remarks that have caught the media's attention and deserve a brief examination. Whoopi Goldberg and Bill Cosby, both highly esteemed figures, spouted controversial and divisive comments at recent events. Their statements shed light onto the mixed state of affairs in the African-American community and the political atmosphere at large, as well as their own personal character. On July 1, comedian Bill Cosby was anything but joking when he admonished the audience at Jesse Jackson's Rainbow PUSH Coalition...

  Yellow Alert — Liberals are CowardsJuly 22, 2004 Liberals are bratty adolescents.  They demand what they want; very rarely do they really know why they want it; they take no responsibility if it all goes bad; and there is never a quid pro quo.  They live in a fantasy world at your sufferance...and on your dime.  Such is the nature of elitist self-entitlement. Let’s ask the obvious, “Is liberalism genetic or environmental?”  It’s environmental to the extent that an excess of BS leads to global warming.  And...the shallow self-loathing of Ron Reagan, Jr. disproves a genetic correlation.  Habitually, it’s systemic.  Liberals...

Hollywood Backlash Continuesby William R Alford - July. 20, 2004 Certain entertainment industry figures are having a tough time going beyond their qualifications by engaging in political discourse. 1970s diva Linda Ronstadt was recently booed off the stage for casting filmmaker Michael Moore as a truth-spreading “patriot” and encouraging the audience to see Fahrenheit 9/11. Las Vegas’ Aladdin Hotel president Bill Timmins reportedly had Ronstadt summarily ejected from her quarters for having “spoiled a lovely evening for our guests” by needlessly causing “all bedlam” to break loose. [Note: there were no fires, looting, brawling, etc. – these were not...

Once again a rich white man has taken advantage of a poor black woman in order to protect his priveledged position. Yes, John is rich and compared to Teresa, Whoopie is very much the POOR black woman. But I may be wrong about the claim of "priveledge". Kerry seems to hold that the Presidencey is his birthright. Kerry has managed to remain silent and let Whoopie take one in the shorts for "Team Kerry". She's taking the hits and suffering the consequences, consequences that surely would have been minimized by even the slightest rebuke on his part and an apology...

I Showbot By Scott Galupo THE WASHINGTON TIMES One of my favorite sideshows of modern presidential politics is the celebrity herd, the Hollywood actors and the rock stars among whom conformity of opinion is as thick as San Fernando Valley smog.     Whoopi Goldberg gave that smog an extra layer of zing last week at a star-studded fund-raiser for presidential hopeful John Kerry at New York's Radio City Music Hall.

July 17, 2004 -- Whoops. Turns out Whoopi Goldberg's foul-mouthed Bush-bash at Radio City Music Hall on behalf of the Kerry-Edwards team was too much for Slim-Fast, the diet drink company for which she'd recently begun to shill. She was unceremoniously dumped by the company and her commercials and ads were abruptly pulled. Naturally, she's blaming the Republicans. But Slim-Fast's founder and current president, S.

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) -- Outspoken actress Whoopi Goldberg lost her Slim-Fast gig for agreeing to speak at a Democratic fundraiser.
