1. they sure don't sound like Oprah fans to me
more like bitter supporters of other candidates or just assholes in general.

9. So all loyal Oprah viewers also want to chat on her message board?
My mom has watched Oprah every day for decades, but she's never wanted to join her message board.

8. Just because many signed up to comment on Oprah's endorsement of Obama...
Edited on Fri Dec-21-07 08:25 AM by VarnettaTuckpocket
Doesn't mean they haven't been loyal Oprah viewers for years. And this was just what prompted them to want to express themselves on Oprah's message board. And you people really have to get over the idea that the only reason someone would dislike Obama, is because they have an abiding love of Hillary.

5. Other pearls of wisdom from this board
HE WILL HAVE TO SWEAR IN ON THE KORAN......SO YOU SEE.....HE IS SWEARING TO HELP HIS PEOPLE...NOT AMERCANS....
he REFUSED TO NOT ONLY PUT HIS HAND ON HIS HEART DURING THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE, BUT REFUSED TO SAY THE PLEDGE
HAS OPRAH BEEN ENDOCTRINATED BY OBAMA'S RACIST CHURCH?
OBAMA IS OPRAH'S PUPPET


Yeah. this message board has not been influenced by morans and their all caps messages!

10. I'm not or never was an Oprah fan but I think she
has the right to support anyone she wants. She supported bush for two terms and now she is supporting Obama.And she has a right to change her mind.

11. I wrote many times oprah knew better then to ask the
black community to vote for obama for the reeason that he is black. that is racist and also stupid. Michelle obama started this back several weeks when she also said and I parphrase, "If You’re Black, Vote for Barack. Because He’s Black."
When Sen. Barack Obama inevitably loses his wife has already started laying the foundation of blame, and who is Michelle Obama laying the early blame on? Black people.uh huh
Michelle Obama thinks that if her hubby doesn’t win, it’s because black folk don’t have enough self-esteem:
Reporter: “The polls are showing your husband is trailing Hillary by 46% to 37% in the African-American community. What’s going on here?”
Mrs. Obama: “First of all, I think that that’s not going to hold. I’m completely confident: black America will wake up, and get . But what we’re dealing with in the black community is just the natural fear of possibility.
Riiiiigggghhhtttt….

If one cares to read the entire thing — in addition to blaming black people’s low self esteem for her husbands failed popularity — Michelle also tells the black community that they should be voting for her hubby for no other reason than they share the same color skin.

Now imagine that the white wife of a white senator blamed their campaign woes on the low self esteem of the black community…

14. My goodness, please stop. You don't have a clue of what you are talking about
Why do you insist on posting this over and over? It is so inaccurate that it's offensive.

12. Oprah has MILLIONS of fans worldwide
If anyone makes a statement, it's bound to piss some people off. File under "Pathetic Attempt to make a non-issue an issue-addendum 1,387,897,983".
