Whoopi Goldberg Asks John McCain 'Do You Want Me to Be a Slave?'
news busters ^ | September 12, 2008 | Justin McCarthy

Posted on 09/12/2008 9:18:13 AM PDT by jaydubya2

Developing: On September 12's "View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg inquired of Senator John McCain, "do you want me to be a slave?"

The question was spurned by the Senator's stance on Roe v. Wade. When McCain answered he supports judges who support the original intent of the Constitution, Whoopi drew a slavery comparison.

Then again, McCain went ON the show so he’s not shining intellectually here.

Heh...Ok. More like, crazy like a fox!

"do you want me to be a slave?"


Although it would be political suicide, it would have made for great tv if Mccain said sure, now Take my bags down to the car bitch!

Does this mean that Whoopie will now receive an honorary JD from Harvard?

Obviously, Whoopi was helped by originalists and not by “living by whim” justices.

Originalists realized the constitution could be amended. So that’s what they did.

Now it specifically prohibits slavery.

Whoopi should thank a Republican for getting that started.

Besides the straw man used to mock conservatives, it was funny when Babwa said “us white folks will take care of “ you and Sherri...

Medved was talking about this. McCain could have told her that slavery has been banned by an amendment to the Constitution...Maybe she thinks it was a court ruling?

Well, already she’s breaking that because she’s the daddy.

Hey, now wait a minute...didn't feminists (like you Whoopi) actively campaign to get Mommy out of the house? Bra-burning, that sort of thing?

I wonder if Obama’s half-brother in Kenya would think so poorly of the Constitution and America if he had a chance to experience it first hand.

Or that 600,000 Americans who took the Constitution's principles of liberty and justice seriously gave their lives to abolish slavery.

"do you want me to be a slave?"

No Whoopie, we want you to be an ADULT, and finally grow out of your current unbecoming extended adolescence...

quote “Perhaps she was implying that motherhood is the equivalent of slavery, and abortion liberates women from bondage.”

Ah ha. You got it. This is what Planned “Parenthood” has been preaching for years.

Whoopi Goldberg inquired of Senator John McCain, "do you want me to be a slave?"

McCain: (open mouth, insert the following words)

No Whoopi cushion, I would refuse to nominate racist klansmen such as democrats Robert Byrd, Fritz Hollings, George Wallace or Bull Conner to the Supreme Court

I would be looking for more civil rights oriented justices such as the Republican Dr Martin Luther King and Clarence Thomas.

Remember Whoops...Republicans freed the slaves.

300,000 Northern troops died for your freedom in a civil war with the slave owning democrats on that issue.

Next stupid question please.

The correct answer would have been, “No, I do not want you to be a slave. I want your civil rights protected by written laws, rather than depend on the whims of a particular set of judges. Where the law is wrong, we can change it, where whims and fads lead us is too dangerous and unpredictable to tell.”
