Crush Liberalism

Liberalism: Why think when you can “feel”?

UPDATE: Oprah not bringing Palin on her show

UPDATES BELOW.

Drudge reported on this last week.  Oprah has since replied that she’s not allowing any politician to come on her show during this campaign cycle, though she did have the Obamessiah on twice before he announced his candidacy.  Apparently, her predominantly female audience is fiercely divided on her decision to not allow the first female VP candidate in 24 years on the show.

My take?  It’s Oprah’s show, and she can bring whomever she darned well pleases onto the show.  She’s campaigned for The One, so she’s invested in him.  However, she also has to be able to handle the fallout from any of her decisions, even poor business decisions like this one.  My guess is that in the end, her double standard and her choice of race over gender won’t scar her too terribly.

UPDATE (09/08/2008 – 10:00 AM EST):  The backlash against Oprah has begun, for whatever that’s worth.

  2. I was always surprised that Oprah had Obama on her show… after all, how can you fit two gigantic Messiah-complexes in the same room, even if it is a television studio?

  3. I stopped watching The Oprah a long time ago when her true colors started to emerge. I’m not surprised she’s dissing Palin. She’s just another example of liberal women ONLY standing up for women if they’re liberal.

  4. It was the embracing and inclusive left that indicated Condoleezza Rice was not actually black because she is a Republican. I am waiting for them to use the same line of reasoning about Sarah Palin actually being a woman. How could she be? She’s a meanie Republican. On and on it goes…

  5. TB – NOW came out on Friday and accused Palin of being a man! I guess it’s been so long since any of them have seen a real woman, they can’t recognize one when she’s about to kick their tails.
