NEW YORK -- Whoopi Goldberg started her stint on ABC's "The View" Tuesday by coming to the defense of convicted felon Michael Vick.

Just 15 minutes into the show she brought up Vick's conviction on dogfighting charges.

"You know from his background this is not an unusual thing for where he comes from," said Goldberg.

"There are certain things that are indicative to certain parts of our country."

Co-host Joy Behar seemed shocked at Goldberg's statements.

"How about dog torture and dog murdering," Behar asked.

Talk about perpetuating stereotypes.

"You know from his background this is not an unusual thing for where he comes from," said Goldberg. "There are certain things that are indicative to certain parts of our country."

If anyone other than a liberal was saying these things, they would be called racist, racially profiling, etc.

I am from Louisiana (the south, you know) and I have never heard of, much less seen, dog fighting. How can she speak for us, she doesn't know us...

Well, no real need to apologize. I put on a sarcastic tone even though I intended no malice. It is part of my nature which doesn’t transfer to web forums very well.

I didn’t see “found the lord” on that list. Wonder if he came up with that later.

Yep, the widespread prevalence of cock-fighting by illegal criminal aliens is the reason the END outbreak of 2003 was so difficult to contain. Go south and watch bull fighting sometime.

I just hope I don’t become disillusioned with black culture.

But what does that mean?!

I'll give you a hint: in this analogy, the "hall" represents her gaping, dessicated womanly hell-chasm.

“Don’t blame Whoopi. Blame the advertisers who clearly *demand* the service she willingly provides.”

No sponsor would approve of Whoopie’s latest crackpot utterance: Vick didn’t do anything so bad; torturing animals isn’t evil as long as there are other people in the vicinity who do it too.

Along with others on this thread, I can’t believe Whoopie hasn’t long ago been yanked out of the public spotlight. Even liberals ought to be sickened by her idiotic, inhumane and illogical comments.

Buck Owens had a song out with the lyric “I wouldn’t take her to a dog fight even if she had a chance to win “

Buck was from Bakersfield CA
Don’t know where he was born

Wonder if this means that she would be in favor of torture of prisoners to get important information about a bomb?

Well, yeah. You know it’s indicative of the South to torture and enslave. Send the prisoners down here we know how to get information out of them. We have secret torture weapons such as a 24 hour audio/video of Rosie O hanging upside down by her ankles - works everytime
