The one who preaches hatred against homosexuality. Sorry, NOT an Oprah fan here. I won't elaborate because I know there are lots of people who worship her.

4. Do...you're criticizing Oprah for doing a celeb story? Is that it?

Not sure I get your drift.

The reason for the story is, I suppose, she did a one-hour interview with that female singer recently (she does one-hour interviews with celebs occasionally....Stephen Tyler, whoever). So during that interview they discussed Chris Brown. I don't care about either of those so-called stars. But that doesn't mean Oprah isn't a valid entertainer, which is what she is. She's a TV entertainer, business mogul. She also does some wonderful philanthropic things, on a personal note, but that is not what she does for a living. She seems to me to be a good person. Don't know what your beef is with her.

5. I'll never forget how Oprah had W. Bush on her show in 2000

Somebody in the audience called Bush out and she had that person ejected. Oprah is a facilitator. She has no politics, just the Oprah Party.

she had Maria and Ahnie on for a full hour. Didn't do the same for Grey Davis. She all but endorsed Ahnie. Again, not a fan but for MANY other reasons than the one I just mentioned.

I've had my issues with Oprah, but fergodssake would you respect someone who had a show of...I ONLY HAVE PEOPLE I LIKE AND AGREE WITH 100% ON MY SHOW.

I thought we were in somewhat of an agreement here that we would not want a liberal version of FOX NEWS nor a liberal Rush Limbaugh.

It's more than just being a liberal or conservative....it's:

Do you think for yourself or let someone or someones do your thinking for you?

Are you broad-minded or narrow-minded?

I'd rather be a liberal, among those who are like trying to herd cats....than a SHEEP!

AND...I'd rather have a president who tells the truth, even if it's not what you want to hear or he doesn't say it perfectly...
than a liar who tries to tell everyone what they want to hear.

She's the queen of Woo-Woo.

Dr. Phil -- "I was the worst marriage counsellor on the planet." So what is he doing on Oprah's show? That's right, marriage counselling.

The Secret -- the fucking Secret!!! That's right. Quantum physics says that if you want a unicorn that farts rainbows, all you have to do is want it hard enough and you'll get it.

Dr. Oz -- this is the guy who won the 2010 Pigasus Award for his medical quackery. Here's what real doctors think of him:

John of God -- Enough said? Oh! I might add that Dr. Quack Oz endorses this charlatan, too.

John Edward -- Yes, the guy who claims he can talk to the dead. A big fan of both Oprah and Dr Oz. Anybody with a brain knows that Edward is merely doing the old carnie trick of Cold Reading but idiots like Oprah and Dr. Oz are either too stupid, or they just don't give a fuck.

Jenny McCarthy -- don't get me started about her. Her wackaloon anti-vaccination rubbish has a real body count. That's when she's not eating her boogers.

Oprah is an evil person who does nothing but harm the people who watch her crapola. And she's gotten extremely wealthy doing it.

I despise everything she stands for.
