BTW, it might not be a bad idea for each of us to contact SlimFast with a note of thanks and let them know we intend to go right out and buy a pack of their product. I don't even need the stuff and I intend to do this -- just as I started dining at Denny's when that company stood up to a frivolous race-baiting shakedown attempt and declared that enough was enough.

I don't know about the rest of you, but it seems clear to me that Whoopi's comments are fully protected.

I found the reference book that she and the Left are using:

Article [I.]

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of liberal speech, or of those elements of the press or persons, who are approved of by progressive organizations; The right to free speech shall be free from negative financial or other monetary implications including, but not limited to boycotts for any person meeting the specific requirements of the progressive ideology as espoused by the ACLU, NOW, NAACP and DNC; free speech can be selectively enforced should any member of a dissenting party, such as the RNC, wish to exercise these rights in a manner deemed to be either inflammatory to those groups previously mentioned, or as used to benefit the Conservative movement; for the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

lol, while I was reading this piece I kept thinking what journalist uses such a great vocabulary and come to find out it's you. Send it to TownHall.com perhaps they'll consider it.

A vulgar act
that's lacking tact
has made a fact
a lost contract
Another season,
Another reason
For firing whoopee.

I was trying to come up with a response to Whoopi pointing at her privates every time she said the president's name, but had some trouble. At first, I thought pointing to my butt would be a good rejoinder, but then I realized my a**hole is too good for her. The only other option wasn't practical, as I don't have access to a heaping pile of sh*t. Oh well.

“America's heart and soul is freedom of expression without fear of reprisal.”

What she means is, "Freedom means being able to act however you like, without the fear of consequences." This isn't freedom; it's license.

Whoopiecushion Goldbrick, has made a fortune off of spewing inanities that no one else could have gotten away with. Hey Whoopie! Welcome to the real world.

Of course, the authorities cannot stop a speaker from exercising their freedom of expression for fear of the audiences’ reaction – the so-called “heckler’s veto” – but, on the other hand, the speaker has no right to suppress that reaction.

That is unless your name is George W. Bush and you can simply have the USSS herd them into a so-called "Free Speech area".

Clinton did this too, and FReepers were justifiably outraged.

But when Bush does it, they cheer.

Very well composed and thoughtful analysis.

Yesterday, I was in a cab in Washington, D.C. Without any prompting by me, the cabbie (a black guy) started ranting about how he hated Whoopi and her x-rated stunt. He said he had disliked her ever since she showed up at a few pro-abortion rallies. I gave him a nice tip.

the fact that people might actually disagree with her never crossed her mind

You can tell just by listening to how they all talk that their world is just an echo chamber.

She,and most of her friends probably don't even know any conservatives or Republicans.

"Whoopi blamed the Republican Party for her dismissal – a pathetic cop out."

I am an Independent and got offended so therefore it wasnt just the Republican party.

JM--a most excellent treatise,well written and to the point.

Please send it around to be published--with a copyright notice attached, of course.

Thank you for distilling the argument so clearly. Nicely done.

He stated that “I smell racism from beginning to end. . . . SlimFast must realize that black women have every right to voice their views.”

Well, it certainly took them long enough to lob THAT charge. I don't recall anyone on Whoopi's side of the aisle jumping to the defense of Condi Rice or Colin Powell, who were true targets of racism by Dims. I also do not recall Whoopi jumping to the defense of Rush or Dr. Laura.

Please remind Whoopi she has a right to speak out, which everyone of us here should/will defend to the death (and many of us HAVE!!). She DOES NOT, however, have a RIGHT to be heard!!!!!

I can remember the first time my late father saw Whoopi in the movie, "The Color Purple". He asked me if I knew how to get in touch with her. I asked why. His reply, "Son, if I could place her out in my corn field, she would have crows bringing back corn, they stole three years ago". I had a mouthful of Myers's Rum and Pepsi, which went all across the living room. I'm laughing now, thinking back on that evening.
