Why would Governor Palin even consider appearing on this Obama freak’s show?

Let’s see how Oprah likes the concept of a Fairness Doctrine now.

So skin color trumps the female cause.

But of course! Just look through history. Passage of the 15th Amendment in what 1865? gave men of all races the right to vote, but not women. That right would not come until some 55 years later in 1920 with the passage of the 19th Amendment!

DILEMMA: OPRAH BALKS AT HOSTING SARAH PALIN; STAFF DIVIDED
Fri Sep 05 2008 08:55:46 ET

Oprah Winfrey may have introduced Democrat Barack Obama to the women of America — but the talkshow queen is not rushing to embrace the first woman on a Republican presidential ticket!

Oprah’s staff is sharply divided on the merits of booking Sarah Palin, sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.

“Half of her staff really want Sarah Palin her on,” an insider explains. “Oprah’s website is getting tons of requests to put her on, but Oprah and a couple of her top people are adamantly against it because of Obama.”

One executive close to Winfrey is warning any Palin ban could ignite a dramatic backlash!

It is not clear if Oprah has softened her position after watching Palin’s historic convention speech.

Last year, Winfrey blocked an appearance by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, timed to a promotional tour of his autobiography.

Oprah and executive producer Shari Salata, who has contributed thousands of dollars to Obama’s campaign, refused requests for comment.

Developing...

So Oprah made a business decision. She’s entitled to make a bad choice. She’s decided to narrow her audience even more.

I’m sure Oprah’s competitors won’t make this huge mistake. Palin is a ratings bonanza.

I know this is off topic, but if I were Mac I’d put Palin on FOX AND FRIENDS, every hunting and fishing show on ESPN, Neil Cavuto and LOU DOBBS, I think she’d do a bang up job.

Oprah is becoming more moonbatty all the time. She will be marginalized like Dr. Laura soon.

I am so tired of these lefties.

Ann and Nancy Wilson can shove it. Just buy a license via ASCAP or BMI and play it NON-STOP.

I swear, those two are absolute JERKS.

I wouldn’t go on her show at all. If Oprah doesn’t want her, gladly oblige!
