Oprah is a racist, pure and simple.
There is no rationalization or excuse. She is racist and probably bitter that the messiah is once again about to be crucified.

Oprah on Her Refusal to Host Sarah Palin
Oprah Winfrey, who exerts a disturbing influence over people who spend their days vegetating in front of the television, has straightened out the story on her refusal to have Sarah Palin on her show:
Oprah’s statement:
The item in today’s Drudge Report is categorically untrue. There has been absolutely no discussion about having Sarah Palin on my show. At the beginning of this Presidential campaign when I decided that I was going to take my first public stance in support of a candidate, I made the decision not to use my show as a platform for any of the candidates. I agree that Sarah Palin would be a fantastic interview, and I would love to have her on after the campaign is over.
After the campaign is over, Vice President Palin will be a little busy. But it’s nice to know the Obama-hyping Oprah has too much integrity to allow her show to be corrupted by crass politics. She also blocked an appearance by Clarence Thomas.
Oprah is just as much of a racist as Obama. She just knows how to get public relations better than Obama.
Since she endorsed him and had him on her show, which is broadcast/syndicated to millions, isn’t that like a campaign donation worth millions and, thereby, illegal? By having him on and promoting his candidacy, she is effectively campaigning/advertising for him! I’d love to see an FEC lawsuit against her, but she and he have greased too many palms for that to happen.
My mother in law watches Oprah now and then, now that she is retired. But this life-long demonRAT has decided to vote for McCain and she decided that BEFORE he picked Palin and IN SPITE of Oprah.
Maybe I am just a snob- I don’t “get” these shows...
Trying to make a story out of nothing. She would then have to give equal time to each.
Unfortunately, she could last a couple of years with her stored body fat
The queen of affirmative action discriminating against a white woman. Who’da thunk it?
You’re saying that biased airwaves are an in kind donation and biased talk show hosts don’t have a right to push their views? What about Rush, Laura Ingram, MSNBC, The View, NBC, etc etc etc. It’s impossible for the FTC or any campaign to tally the value of words for in-kind donations, or the value of every second of airtime mentioning a candidate.
Not to mention freedom of speech.
OF COURSE SHE’S BIASED! She hasn’t hidden a thing about who she wants to win and who she is supporting. I really don’t get this story at all - conservatives are forgetting the libtards attempts to get rebuttals on Rush.
Oprah to Sarah...”DROP DEAD!”
My wife just read this article, and immediately cancelled her subscription to that vapid magazine. Looks like I killed 2 birds with one stone!
Whether she has Palin on or not, Oprah’s not intelligent enough for me to watch her.
No reverse about it.
Discrimination is discrimination.
Blacks are equally capable of being racists are white, although few ever call them on the carpet for that.
The likes of Sharpton, Jackson and now Winfrey are blatant racists.
I agree with you. It’s her stupid show, can is free to have whomever she wants on it. I also had the same thoughts as you did about Rush and his show. Arguing that she had Obama on 2 or 3 years ago and now should have Palin on is weak and makes us look desperate to throw dirt. Oprah’s real sin is that she is not interested in advancing women - only liberal women.
And these are the same people who want to reinstate the fairness doctrine...pathetic.
Take a look at this.

Dear Oprah, I Think You Can Relax About the Ratings, But…
