Top GOP Research Firm ‘Ready to Examine’ Oprah

*snip*

The Washington Examiner‘s Philip Wegmann labeled Winfrey a "gold mine of opposition research," pointing to stories such as the time advice given on her show led a woman to decide against receiving cancer treatment due to a belief she could be healed through "positive thinking."

The Washington Post similarly published an article titled, "Oprah might run for president. We did the opposition research for you." It pointed out issues such as her close friendship with Harvey Weinstein, many years of child sex abuse at a school Winfrey founded in South Africa, and her comments that old people "have to die" to end racism.

The Washington Free Beacon also unearthed comments made by Winfrey in 2011 complaining about how much she is taxed as one of the wealthiest people in the world.

"I think it's so irritating that once I die, 55 percent of my money goes to the United States government," Winfrey said. "You know why it's so irritating? Because you already paid nearly 50 percent when the money was earned."

Though America Rising says it will dig into Winfrey just as it would any other candidate, it says the obsession over her political prospects is a sign of how "lackluster" the Democratic field is.

Oprah helped with the Alar scare, beef is poisonous scare, and any type of germ will kill you flat out scare. Yes, 20-30 years of tv could reveal a ton of idiotic thought.

That’s why she won’t run, Rooster. I said it first, the president said it second!

"I think it's so irritating that once I die, 55 percent of my money goes to the United States government," Winfrey said.

Don't fret Orpah, you can't buy air conditioning in Hell anyway.

Unfortunetly “the Oprah” is nearly sacred in so many women’s minds. Go after her hard at your own peril.

I kinda hate posting that picture because I don’t know what’s actually going on there ... but the body language of all three just radiates a horror story: The trusted matriarch offering up the terrified maiden to the lustful evil king, evoking the next chapter of the betrayed maiden staggering, broken, into the darkness. Note that another “maiden” just filed suit/charges against both for exactly that story.

I understand we don’t know the context of the picture. But your description is what I see in it as well.
