Oprah Intimidated?

Oprah is not a king-maker. She never was and never will be.

She (as a king-maker) was an invention by the media, and they’ll rip her down as quick as they built her up.

It does sound like Oprah has been the recipient of a massive amount of fan disgust. That’ll open your eyes if nothing else.

The principal complaint was that she betrayed women by not supporting Sen. Hillary Clinton

Typical stoooooooooooopid lib women, don't support who's best for the country, support by gender,,,,,,,,no wonder women are portrayed as the weaker sex........

[AnotherUnixGeek]

Some of that may have come from the emotional outburst Hillary delivered on the eve of the primary.

A look at Hillary's campaign strategy - the lower the poll numbers, the more on-camera tears.

Very simple. Hillary Clinton will, if she can, destroy utterly and completely, anyone who stands in her way. There are very few people in American politics I wouldn’t vote for to keep her out of the White House.

[Dustbunny]

I really don't understand what people see in Oprah. Personally, I think she is a waste of TV broadcast time.

Actually, most of TV is now a waste of broadcast time with the exception of a few shows.

[BlueDragon]

Aah, yes. The unmitigated, blatantly sexist hypocrisy of (much of)
the liberal dhimmocrat electorate, shows it's true colors!

That didn't take long.

New Hampshire has 1.0% black population (2006 Census est.)

Perhaps that has something to do with the lack of appearances by Oprah.

Identity politics in all of its glory. When do the homos get uppity in the face of their brethren supporting Obama or Hillary over Breck girl?

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

The principal complaint was that she betrayed women by not supporting Sen. Hillary Clinton.

Oprah is a black woman. The two leading democrat candidates are a white woman and a black man. If she supports the former, she is not being true to her race. If she supports the latter, she is not being true to her gender. Looks like identity politics just bit someone on her ample behind.

Poor Oprah! Calling Dr. Phil! Please pick up the black courtesy phone! I mean the white courtesy phone!!

[NRA2BFree]

I heard on TV the other day that Oprah’s website had been overrun by angry women complaining that Oprah was trying to shove Obama down their throats and they didn’t like it. Something that she never really counted on, and that may have been the reason she backed off.

"It does sound like Oprah has been the recipient of a massive amount of fan disgust."

Or the Clinton just paid some staffers to flood Oprah's message board with negitive comments.

[DoughtyOne]

Hah hah hah...

Yep... okay ladies, we’re going to leave at 9:00, vote by 10:00, vote again every two hours and meet back here by 8:00 to write Oprah letters for two hours.

Everyone got that straight?

[Earthdweller]

This woman will never vote for that commie! Hillary wants to destroy my family and divide America all so she can say she is the first woman President and promote her revolution agenda. It's a farce of the first degree.

Get another woman who will represent the entire American family unit. Hillary doesn't.

[freekitty]

Yep.

[freekitty]

That’s more like it; however I don’t believe a lot of women would vote for Hillary anyway.

In other words; she’s the wrong woman.

I also find it odd that black people are surrounding Obama. He’s half white.

Ain’t this world a kick in the pants?

New Hampshire has 1.0% black population (2006 Census est.)

Perhaps that has something to do with the lack of appearances by Oprah.

At 2.5%, Iowa's black population isn't all that much greater.

Just a question about the New Hampshire vote...How is it that the polls were accurate on the Republican vote but so terribly inaccurate on the Democrat side?

[KarenMarie]

There are girls (women) I work with who want Hillary to win because they think it is about time a woman was in the White House. They have even remarked how we are behind other countries on giving women the ‘top job’.

Sometimes, I despair.

[DoughtyOne]

Yes it is.
