Nothing a flaming tire over the neck wouldn’t cure...and I mean on Oprah.

Hey, Asshole, have you ever seen anyone die this way. I doubt it. Yes, you are an asshole, a perfect asshole for even suggesting such a thing. I'll bet you are a frigging coward too.

Look
Mrs. Clinton has murdered, stolen, intimidated, her way to prominance.
Oprah like so many liberal doofuses thinks that by simply trying to do good in pathetic places it will take.

Both are nuts.
Both have been around WAY too long and should just go away.
And if it were by nefarious means I’d applaude.
Sorry you may not like the facts.

I agree TOTALLY! Last time I checked this was a conservative based forum with higher values. It’s a comment like this one that gives DU and Bill O. something to talk about.

Some of us may not like Oprah, but wishing a gasoline soaked tire was flaming around her neck is far from what we should believe.

My guess is that that quote is well-planned fodder for all-but-OFRAH to disregard what happened......meanwhile she can put on an ellen-degenerate-sobbing-act to convince us all how wunnaful and caring she is.....she ain’t squat except the pied-piper to the stepford/liberal wives that nod at everything she sez. Obama’s in the wings on this ons, just watch!

If every bad thing that happens in America is “Bush’s fault”, then this should be Oprah’s fault...

I asked myself the same question.Surely not every white child in SA is from a wealthy family.
Why not mix a few of those girls with the kids from the townships?This is what the”new” South Africa is supposed to be all about,right?

You look.

That’s no excuse for some of the venomous talk on this thread.

No one could possibly despise Hillary Clinton any more than I do and I've already said I am no fan of Oprah's, but, to sound like a wanta be DU site is a disservice FreeRepublic. IMHO

“but wishing a gasoline soaked tire was flaming around her neck is far from what we should believe.”

Listen, if Oprah can pull it off, it will be all the rage, probably even make the cover of “O.” Every shallow young lady will want a flaming tire as a fashion accessory.

Dude! I hope that you are joking. I laugh at comedy. I chuckle at sarcasm. Sometimes people say crazy things after a few drinks that they wish they had not said.

Hopefully you’re not in your right mind this evening, because it wasn’t funny before and it’s not funny now.

If you are serious, then you have some issues that you should seek professional help with.

Wishing for Oprah or “every shallow young lady” to have a flaming tire as a fashion accessory is not funny.

Then the Clintons will stop destroying me for my relentless criticism of them and we can all retire.

When will Chelsea be of age to run for office? ;)

And does anyone know if she still has secret service coverage?

Instead of weeping and wailing why doesn’t Oprah get off her duff and fix the problems? She is paying the money so she can fire the incompetents running the place. However in South Africa it is probably corrupt government officials that are calling the shots at her school.
