Oprah "Thanks" the Nation that Made her Rich

From today's Oprah:
Why does so much of the world still hate us? What are the bigger questions behind the conflict with Iraq? With time running out, Americans need to know about our role in the world. All eyes are on us. What will happen?
Come back later for more information from today's show!
Now and Then Before September 11, many Americans didn't realize the extent of anti-U.S. sentiment. Today we are more aware, but still struggling to understand these feelings.
Are you informed about world events? How much do you know about what's happening in the world?
Terrorism, weapons of mass destruction, a war with Iraqwe are at a crossroads in our history.
Get the facts: Islam 101.

Oprah used her hour today to indoctrinate her audience in "Anti-Americanism: Why do so many hate the US?"

It's another reason 'why I hate Oprah's show'......
To: anniegetyourgun
She has been doing this for the past several months, trying to "teach" the American public that the global perspective is much more different than most people would think. I agree with her motives, however, her slant on it is undeniable. She comes off as sanctimonious, and almost like she believes we deserve what has happened on 911, and since. Her doom and gloom is nauseating. And, she doesn't want to be confused by the fact that we didn't cause 911.

I sent her an email earlier saying I did not appreciate her remarks and attitude. Wonder if she will read it. NAH!!!

Oprah, honey, you're a talk show queen. Come down to earth and realize the world doesn't revolve around you and your liberal opinions just because you've managed to pull in such an inflated salary. Maybe if you were not so greedy and mailed your millions to the starving children in africa -- or took a cut in pay to allow those minimum wage peons who are trying to make it in show business by kissing Oprah/CBS butt in podunk, dead-end employment positions where they can't even support their families a fair wage increase -- everyone wouldn't hate us/you so much.

Anyone know why Drudge pulled the story from his site? Or am I just missing it?

I don't know.
To: BigSig Sputnik
It boiled down to this:
1. We support Israel
2. The Moslems do not feel "validated" by us. They must feel their own sense of "dignity" in a dying culture.
Geopolitics per Dr. Phil and the guy that pretends he sees dead people.

* Actually Oprah does a lot of charity in Africa. I am not an Oprah fanatic, but I will give her that she worked very hard to get where she is. Her salary isn't that inflated considering how much more money King World gets for syndicating her show. It's no different than baseball players. People on FR shouldn't be hating so much on Oprah. Why is everyone so surprised though? I never watch her show when she does any 'political' issue. She could never do a good show about the politics of racial issues because she seems to feel so guilty about being rich. Plus I think a lot of black people write her and tell her she isn't black because so many white people watch her show. She had Tiger Woods on her show and tried to convince Tiger that she was more his mother than his own mom. Plus she has other deep seated issues too. People who feel guilty for being rich and successful annoy me. Anyway, her mentor is Maya Angelou. What do all of you expect?

You're right, cyborg, I was just mad at her yesterday.
To: RAT Patrol
I was mad too. I wasn't getting down on you at all. Oprah is a new agey dogooder. I was going to write a letter to her about that show, but I know it would be a waste of time. It's her personality to want to be a peacenik.

"Anti-Americanism: Why do so many hate the US?" The only answer this question is "who the hell cares?"
To: Wyatt's Torch
I don't think there is anything wrong with asking why people hate this country. As long as people point out the real reasons why many of these muslim nations hate us. Western nations are prosperous in money and forward moving ideas because of capitalism and judeo-christian values. Also, we support the only democratic and civilized country in the ME, Israel.

Yep basically what I tell people on a daily basis. I have a lot of people that say America should have blown Saddam off the map last year, and not waited.
