Free Republic

Three times in the past several weeks, fortune has seemed to beam on conservatives, in unexpected and unprompted ways. Not that they've won much, but their tormentors keep losing. Three days in fall 2009 damaged or neutralized three liberal institutions, whose powers have now been curtailed. Break number one came on September 26, when Roman Polanski, on his way to collect a lifetime achievement award from the Zurich Film Festival, was intercepted by Swiss police and tossed into prison, pending extradition to the United States, which he had fled 30 years earlier to avoid a jail sentence for drugging and...

Elizabeth Smart Says She Was Raped Daily Elizabeth Smart, right, arrives at the federal courthouse with her mother, Lois Smart, and her father [Pic in URL] By JENNIFER DOBNER SALT LAKE CITY – Elizabeth Smart testified Thursday she was raped repeatedly each day after she was abducted from her bedroom seven years ago and told she would be killed if she yelled or tried to escape. She described Brian David Mitchell, her alleged kidnapper, as "evil, wicked, manipulative, stinky, slimy, selfish, not spiritual, not religious, not close to God." Smart testified in U.S. District Court in Salt Lake City as...

CNN's Rick Sanchez Calls Out [ABC's The View] Whoopi Goldberg For Defending Roman Polanski Rape Case

Whoopi Goldberg,who defended child-rapist Roman Polanski on The View,is now featured in an advertisement for one of the biggest children's toy stores in the nation.Toys R Us must be proud.....

The Huffington Post has made it crystal clear where it stands on the news that director Roman Polanski may have to answer for his 31-year-old crime of child rape: “Move on, everyone. Nothing to see here. Keep on directing, Roman. Love ya!” The popular liberal site has posted numerous essays since news that Polanski was arrested in Switzerland broke over the weekend, each arguing vehemently against the Oscar winner’s persecution. ... But HuffPo readers aren’t buying it. And boy, are they angry.

How low will Hollywood go in defending Roman Polanski? Former Oscar hostess Whoopi Goldberg tries to parse the meaning of rape between rape and something called “rape-rape” — which, if you read the testimony of Polanski’s victim, Polanski literally did by raping her and then sodomizing her. Goldberg tries to argue that Polanski pled guilty to statutory rape, not actual rape, which is true, and that he served a sentence — which is absolutely false:

“I know it wasn’t rape-rape. It was something else but I don’t believe it was rape-rape. He went to jail and and when they let him out he was like ‘You know what, this guy’s going to give me a hundred years in jail I’m not staying,’ so that’s why he left.” (video clip at link)

Whoopi sounds off on Sarah Palin.

Whoopi Questions Moon Landing July 21, 2009 BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: If you've ever had any doubts that the women on The View (snorts) are literally kooks, we're going to confirm it for you here. This happened yesterday morning. It's Whoopi Goldberg, Barbara Walters, and co-host Sherri Shepherd about Apollo 11 landing on the moon. (Click on video link to the right) WALTERS: Whoopi, you don't really doubt that the men landed on the moon. GOLDBERG: I am just saying that there are wonderful -- SHEPHERD: Don't they have a tape? GOLDBERG: There are wonderful... You know, I love great...

Whoopi Goldberg questioned the original moon landing on today's edition of "The View." Goldberg, a co-host, wondered who shot the footage and why the flag was "rippling" if there was no wind.

Whoopi Goldberg questioned the original moon landing on today's edition of "The View." Goldberg, a co-host, wondered who shot the footage and why the flag was "rippling" if there was no wind.

Whoopi proceeded to do her usual scowl and slump in the chair act that she reserves for anyone she perceives to be of a different mindset than hers. Most especially anyone not of the democrat persuasion. Whoopi was embarrassing and her sidekick Barbara Walters looked like a wannabe irate and important challenge to Glenn Beck when in reality Barbara Walters looked pitiful.

"Whoopi Goldberg Rails Against Her Taxes." Now if only she can convince Obama to stop proposing ever new taxes, like today's Sugar Tax, yesterday's estate tax hike proposal and the grandaddy of them all - the Global Warming Tax.

March 20) -- Note to the fashion police and Stacy London: If you're going to critique Whoopi Goldberg's clothes, be prepared to face her wrath on 'The View.' The ABC co-host let loose on recent magazine reports bashing her wardrobe. She took aim at 'What Not to Wear' host London and TV Guide writer Ingela Ratledge, who Goldberg dubbed an 'anonymous b----.'

[video] Excerpt: Remember way back during the Bush administration when Democrats said they supported the troops in Iraq, but didn’t support their mission? In a similar vein, The View’s Whoopi Goldberg seems to support the president, but not his mission. She loves Obama, but seems far less enamored with the taxes he brings to the party.

RUSH: Did you vote for this? There are people starting to have doubts. One of them is no less than Whoopi Goldberg, who went into a rant this morning on The View, talking to her co-host, Elisabeth Hasselbeck. GOLDBERG: You remember that movie Network? If you are just fed up, at some point, just lean out your window (laughter) and scream, "I'm mad as hell," 'cause that's what's happening to me. I'm losing my mind, because I don't understand why -- like they -- one of the things that I saw recently, they have this whole thing about taxing "the...

That's what you get when you vote Democrat, Whoopi. We warned you.

As talk show host Dennis Prager often says about ABC’s daily liberal mah-jongg circle “The View,” if the program didn’t already exist, someone would have to create it. Save for one well-meaning, but often overmatched (if only by sheer volume), token conservative (Elizabeth Hasselbeck), the program’s panel is a hyper-caffeinated gaggle of cackling leftist yentas. It’s almost amusing. When Senator John McCain, much to his credit, appeared on the program last week, Whoopie Goldberg – comedienne, actress and constitutional academic - asked him to clarify his viewpoint on the separation between church and state. Her concerns, presumably, of a state-mandated...

On ABC's "The View" on September 12, Whoopi Goldberg asked Senator John McCain if she should worry about being made a slave again once he becomes president. Newsflash, Whoopi: There was this little fracas we call the Civil War where six hundred thousand Americans died and that resulted in the elimination of slavery from existence. Oh, and Whoopi, it happened nearly 150 years ago! Just trying to help you with that whole "history" thing, Whoopster. Apparently, Whoopi is unaware that slavery was removed from the Constitution, because during a discussion about the Law of the Land on the TV talk...

In case anyone missed the actual video. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=f76_1221242505

Hollywood, CA (LifeNews.com) -- John and Cindy McCain appeared on the women's television show, "The View" on Friday morning and the hosts asked the pair questions about abortion. The show is known for its pro-abortion activism, with co-host Whoopi Goldberg a longtime member of the Planned Parenthood board of advisors. During the program, Goldberg attacked McCain on his saying he would appoint judges who wouldn't make up the law from the bench. "Should I be worried about being a slave or a return to slavery," Goldberg asked incredulously.

The legalization of slavery is a big campaign issue. Just ask Whoopi Goldberg. Republican nominee John McCain appeared on the Septemeber 12 edition of "The View." Answering a question about his opposition to Roe v. Wade, McCain insisted that he would support judges who strictly interpret the Constitution. This must have set alarms for Whoopi Goldberg who asked "do I have to worry about becoming a slave again?"

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 people lost their minds and said how rough she was and how...

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.

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.
