Goldberg defends Vick in 'View' debut 44 minutes ago
NEW YORK - So much for the sedate alternative to Rosie O'Donnell on "The View."
Whoopi Goldberg used her first day on the daytime chat show Tuesday to defend football star Michael Vick in his dogfighting case.
Goldberg said that "from where he comes from" in the South, dogfighting isn't that unusual.

She’s picking up where Rosie left off, offense-wise ...
Slavery wasn't that unusual, either, you racist fleabitten hag.
I grew up in the South, and I never saw or heard of anyone dogfighting (cockfighting, yes, that's equally stupid).
Well hell whoopster, if that's the standard, how about cross burning?
There was a time when that wasn't too unusual either.
Oh yes and O.J. Simpleton is innocent of killing his white wife and her boyfriend too.
Spousal abuse, murder, drug abuse, child abuse, and rape are all more prevalent than dog fighting (not just in the south, but everywhere). Using Whoopi's logic, those people should be defended too (as long as they're not Republicans).
Perhaps dogfighting is more common in the Hood, but now in my neighborhood.
Yep. I’m southern through and through and I couldn’t lead you to a dog fight if my life depeneded on it. Perhaps what she really meant to say was “It’s a black thang”?
Her whole job is to stir the **** and get conservatives howling on the airwaves so as to give to The View tons of free publicity. We are best off ignoring her.
What the hell does "unusual" have to do with anything? Robbing banks is more "usual" than winning the lottery, does that make it more legal? or right?
Anythang to he'p out a bro', raght, Miz Goldfarb?
Sanctimonious, loudmouth, overbearing, no-talent hack.
Let it go, Izzy, let it go...
Well, here’s one who knows something about being a vicious b1tch with teeth too large for their mouths...
dont forget VOO DOO

You beat me to the point.
Slavery is still practiced in some part of the world yet we wouldn't tolerate it here would we, Ms Whoopie? What do you think? Should we embrace that sort of diversity too? And speaking of diversity, in your case, God willing, a head covering is probably a concession that should be made.
So, if someone came from an area of the U.S. where child beatings are common, then . . . . . . ? Whoopi would defend them too? What a schmuck!!!!!
Yep maybe Whoopi will stir the pot in her own way. Comments like today’s are a good start if that’s how she wants to be.
Barbara W. owns and controls this show. I heard at one time she wanted it to be a show that discussed issues of the day in a serious manner. Rosie was out of control, but Barbara allowed it....................
