Are you a Hillary supporter or an Edwards supporter?  Attacking Oprah is not going to accomplish anything but laughter.  I would guess you are a Hillary supporter because those are the most divisive and disgusting.

Did you know that Bill Clinton advised John Kerry to come out against civil unions in 2004?

Did you know that Hillary was hoping to snag Oprah's endorsement?

Not a single person here has ever had a single principled gripe with Oprah.

The Chelsea appearance is actually the headliner on the washington post frontpage for tomorrow's story as of now not the oprah rallies .

Now maybe they would write a big story about it and they just haven't updates their front page stories for tomorrow , but its just interesting that the chelsea appearance is more prominent.

The Clinton story about who she really is headlines the New York times while oprah is tucked away in the corner.

The AP is running the oprah story on the yahoo homepage but right below it is the clinton/chelsea story as well.

The Des moine register is running the oprah story in iowa and right on the same page is the clinton/chelsea story .

All in all I think Hillary Clinton is actually grabbing as much or even more headlines than Obama.

And Hillary Clinton was an abetter of the Iraq War.

of course the NY Times editorial board didn't see fit to comment on Chelsea's entry....they liked Oprah though.

Do you know that Oprah does not employ union workers?

No I don't know that because it is not true.  She employs union members from IATSE as technical people.  Who are the Union Members from IATSE?  They are the people who are losing their jobs while the Studios and Writers continue to make money off of re-runs playing during the strike.  They are the innocent victims of a fight over greed on both sides concerning residuals that no members of IATSE receive.   And of course on Progressive blogs like this they are invisible people, not to be counted, not to be considered.  No, Oprah is anti-Union because she doesn't hire WGA writers to script what is largely an un-scripted show.  Who gives a damn about the IATSE workers?

And colored.

And she eats watermelon and fried chicken. Probably.

And I bet she's a "good dancer."

Wow.

The stench of desperation emanating from the Klinton Kamp Krew is nauseating.

Attacking Oprah? I bet this one works as well as attacking Obama's kindergarten and third grade ambitions.

Keep up the good work.

what is next? apple pie and chevrolet?

Why not attack baseball as long as you are at it.

Haven't you heard... breaking news just out today from HRC camp.... Oprah is evil, Oprah is evil..

Please stick with this approach HRC.. it is working so well.

Well, Oprah did do Ellen's 'coming out' episode to help the ratings, I don't think she's anti-gay.

At any rate, this is the biggest 'celebrity' push to influence the Presidential vote that I have ever seen, it ranks right up there with Barbra Streisand going on TV shows begging people to vote for Gore right before we had the vote.  I didn't like that and I don't like this, but at least Streisand was a known democrat crusader, she didn't become one 'overnight' like Oprah.

Oprah supported the war in Iraq, and she has voted for Republicans.  Her opinion is irrelevant.

With all due respect, those of us who read this site aren't the ones swayed by Oprah's opinion, and AREN'T the ones he hopes to reach with the Oprah-bama tour.

You are wasting your time.

Oprah did more to try to prevent America from going to war than anyone else in mainstream media.  As early as the Fall of 2001 she did a show called "Is War the Only Answer?"  Unfortunately that shows sparked the worst and most vicious hate mail of her career.  Then a few months later when she declined an invitation to go to Afghanistan with Bush, people were furious that she would defy a sitting president during a time of war.  All of this made her extremely fearful to dissent and for a while her show was extremely careful not to be seen as unpatriotic.  But when a woman in her audience questioned the propaganda the media was feeding them Oprah realized she had a moral responsibility.

By November 2002, she gathered enough courage to do a show challenging her audience to question their government's foreign policy.  The show was praised by Michael Moore because she was the only mainstream media to show clips of Donald Rumsfeld shaking Saddam Hussein's hand.  Then on February 6 & 7 2003, while the rest of the media was praising Collin Powell's United Nation's speech, Oprah told her audience that now more than ever was the time to speak out. It was a crucial time to speak out because public opinion had been against the war prior to Powell's speech.  Oprah showed clips from average people all over the world begging America not to go to war. She showed clips of Nelson Mandella & Pope John Paul II denouncing war.  She interviewed the founder of Patriots for Peace. She hosted a debate between Thomas Friedman and anti-war activist Jessica Mathews who informed her audience that there were no links between Saddam and Al Quada & even Friedman conceded that Iraq was not a security threat to the U.S.  And the end of the debate Oprah agreed with Mathews that the case for war had not been made.  The show was so anti-war that it was allegedly taken off the air half way through in some markets.

Amazingly Oprah continued to air dissent right up until 2 days before the war began.  On March 18, 2003 she invited anti-war Middle East professor Fawaz Gerges and spent an entire segment showing shocking antiwar clips from Michael Moore's Bowling for Columbine followed by anti-war commentary from Moore.

Oprah did everything in her power short of career suicide to prevent a war.  Donahue spoke out against war too, but he had a tiny audience on MSNBC.  Oprah was the ONLY major media to join the anti-war movement and she deserves an enormous amount of credit for that.  Not only is she a symbol of the American dream and the most philanthropic African-American of all time, but she was on the right side of history too.
