I hate Oprah. Thank you.

The worst thing I can remember was the museum they made
from the bombed pizza place.

Oprah's beliefs are based upon opportunity and PC timing. Her love of Israelis will give way to love of the bomber's to love of prisoner's at GitMo. Oprah has all the depth of a sidewalk's puddle of dog pee.

[Skooz]

What a sobering article.

I have always despised Oprah -- not hated, but despised -- and this is just another reason to continue.

[katieanna]

Oprah's trying a bit too hard to see the 'good' in everybody on this one. She needs to talk to some old people in Israel and study the PLO founding articles to learn what evil guides the palestinians against the Israelis.
I will say that Oprah has helped many poor people throughout the world and has done a lot of good with her wealth, which I commend her for, but, she's wrong on this one.

You should see the way they spoof Oprah on MAD TV. They really highlight her pomposity. Oprah's like Streisand. Lots of opinion, most of them based on ignorance. LIMOUSINE LIBERALS.

Any one's daughter for that matter. Any one's whose inexplicably lost a child. We should never humanize the murderer. All of our thoughts should go to the family that suffers and our prayers for the peace of an innocent soul that never had a chance to grow up, bound up in God's mercy and the promise of eternal life.

(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)

Oprah...only looking out for...Oprah....

[Petronski]

Oprah's still waters do not run deep. She is not what one might call a classical "thinker."

[Petronski]

"I want to share this prize with my Mum, who is a Holocaust survivor and also with the victims on the Arab and Palestinian side. It's time we sit and try to solve the problem."

Hannah Laszlo is Jewish, I presume?

Hannah, the Palestinian solution is for you to wade off into the Mediterranean and disappear...drown, swim, whatever. The Palestinian solution is to drive Israelis into the sea. They'll get to rounding up and killing the rest of the world's Jews later on. For now, six million Israelis will do.

Six million more Jews.

[OldSmaj]

Her name has been seriously bandied about as a future candidate for some high office.

Yeah?

By whom and under what circumstances?

The liberal, goody-two shoe birkenstockers?

Not likely, as she would detract from their idiotic message with her own idiotic messages and would draw votes from frumpy, sit-in-front-of-the-TV-all-day-long crowd of stupid cow women, who rarely get off their fat butts to do anything, much less vote.

And if Ronald Reagan, Clint Eastwood and Arnold Schwartzeneger could pull it off, why shouldn’t she?

Because she doesn't appeal to the same crowd.

Read the aforewritten assessment of Okra's followers.

Nobody but the mustachioed welfare queens take her seriously and the majority of them are unable to even read the books she "recommends", so her "message" kinda withers on the vine.

And no one on the political action scene takes them seriously, so there ya have it.

She will continue to suck millions from the Colgate-Palmolive and Kimberly-Clark advertising agencies (not that her viewers actually ever use those products) and will continue to promote her simpering silliness on national TV and true conservative men and women will continue to do as I have just done, which is to ridicule her and her followers and render her even more ineffective on the political stage.

Stick a fork in her, she's done.

At the close of the ‘O’ piece on the female terrorist, Oprah’s readers are urged to help "prevent Palestinian children from becoming suicide bombers by donating money to Oprah's Angel Network or to UNICEF". Oprah should be told about my fifteen year old Malki's murderer. He was the son of a well-to-do restaurateur and lacked for nothing. Many other terrorists enjoyed lives of comfort. My advice to Oprah’s followers: Save your dollars. No amount of hand-outs will convince them to spare the lives of the innocents they intend to kill.

This must be remembered. People must be reminded of this again and again. Like Osama bin Laden, terrorists simply do not arise out of poverty. They arise out of educated middle-class families.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Oprah is smart and talented (which is why people watch her), but sometimes she is exceedingly unwise and blind (which is why no one should take her seriously). Too bad some people forget she's an entertainer and start acting like she is some sort of prophetess. She's just an emotional, confused person who happens to have a successful TV show.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Oprah has a Schrader valve attached to her caboose so she can pump her size up with a bicycle pump whenever she wants to make the front page of the tabloids.

[facedown]

These are not faceless names, Oprah:

Malki Roth

Just an innocent kid with her whole life ahead of her.

I get so mad I could spit.

[boothead]

Oprah backwards = Harpo


Harpo Marx had the good sense and the great gift never to Grow Up. Oprah has none.
