I did a search and didn't see anyone else post it. So here it is. Just received this from Slim-Fast:
Dear Hildy Linn ,
Thank you for contacting us recently about our use of Whoopi Goldberg, specifically regarding her remarks made at the recent fundraiser at Radio City Music Hall. The manner in which Ms. Goldberg chose to express her personal beliefs at this event do not reflect the views and values of Slim·Fast Foods Company.
Slim·Fast selected Whoopi Goldberg as its spokesperson because of her commitment to losing weight, which we applaud.
We are disappointed by the manner in which Ms. Goldberg chose to express herself and sincerely regret that her recent remarks offended you. Advertisements featuring Ms. Goldberg will no longer be on air.
We appreciate you sharing your views with us and we hope you will continue to use Slim·Fast as your partner in healthy weight management.
Sincerely,
Shelby Mahan

Q: What is the best way to loose 150 nagging pounds of flab?
A: Fire Whoopi
"We are disappointed by the manner in which Ms. Goldberg chose to express herself"
bwahahahhaha!
Whoopie, "If I can lose big, SO CAN YOU(liberals)"
Whoopie, "I'M A BIG LOSER !"
yesssssss dear, we know we know. You prove it everytime you open your venus fly trap and yap.
How soon before we see a photo of Michael Moore with a "Boycott Slim-Fast" sign?
"If you make your living by selling your public image, why in the name of God would you choose to eliminate 50% (maybe even more being that Hollywood is as left as it gets) of your audience by spewing your demented political beliefs"
What cracks me up is these celeb-slugs actually believe people like me would hand over my hard earned cash to them just so they can turned around and insult me(the "working" class). Like handing your enemy bullets while they're pointing a rifle at you. I DON'T THINK SO
It will be either McCarthyism or she'll play the Race Card!

"This offensive, obscene woman does not deserve to represent a company"
Actually it is a private companies right to choose their spokesperson but Whoopie has NO RIGHT to represent the people of America, "ME" or any U.S. citizen since SHE IS THE FARTHEST example of what the general U.S. populace is. We didn't elect people like Whoopie and her imperialist Hollywood glitteROTi to represent us while they are abroad.
"It will be either McCarthyism or she'll play the Race Card!"
LOL but but....besides "vanilla" Slimfast comes in strawberry and CHOCOLATE flavors too. :0
..that ain't discriminatin (raises eyebrow)
Score one for the freepers, eh?
Freep this forum: Did Whoopi deserve to be fired for making anti-Bush comments at a Democratic fundraiser?

Anyway, that's one liberal who will have less money to donate to Rats!

or how about after the Nov. elections ?
Obviously that site phrased their question to suggest it was dirty politics that got her removed. Instead she made crude, vulgar and lewd remarks referencing female anatomy! They had every right to ax her as the public face of their product / company. It had *NOTHING* to do with the slant of her comments and everything to do with the language of them.
Thought I'd write them back "FAT chance! (Maybe after the election.....the damage has been done IMO.) How do the expect to unspread the butter from the bread?
And that would be a bad thing. They knew what they were getting into, but didn't care. So you get what you get.
I don't know.........but they got an email from me with all pertinet information.
I was very nice ......but firm!
ok..what's your point?
