Whoopi Goldberg Reaches Out to Readers

I guess that is the difference between us.If I see a bigoted or racist remark I call someone on it.It has been interesting.

Whoopi Goldberg Reaches Out to Readers

Hi Diana, Just curious about something.What is this considered? Frank- The UK Indepedant had a good article last weekend about the US Culture war between the backwoods, rural “red-states” [as a mindset more than a geographical location] and the educated ‘blue’ urban areas that economically support the nation. We make the money, we pay the most to support the government, and the Christian Nazi McCarthism Gun Nuts from the Alaskan outback are the ones who help decide policy by supporting the GOP against their own interest. The GOP as a tactic understood it couldn’t win without bringing the religious wackos into their tent would help them. It’s a sham in service to the oil companies and multinationals with the Ditto Heads clamoring to help rich people line their pockets at a cost to their own schools, infrastructure, jobs, etc. Bobby-Jo with his ‘57 faded-red pick-up, with the gun rack, confederate flag, bloodhounds and Jerry Falwell/Rush blasting on the radio with their racist/zenophobic/misogynistic spiell—can’t put gas in his car and eat too, but by gum-it…he’s a “God-fearin’ ‘publican jest like maw daddy and his daddy.” Bobby-Jo supports oil barons in their private clubs with their helicoptors and Lear Jets and multi-million dollar mansions around the globe. Like McCain, with his $300K annual tab just for the help. But because they put on a lapel flag pin and read off a Macivellian script the DittoHeads fall in line and vote. Just like in the Dark Ages. Creationism and God talk has always made those who can’t think for themselves, who can’t connect the dots between speech, actions and results in their own lives…the enslaved tools of the richest 2%. They think the GOP politicans care for them…they are laughing all the way to the back. And if their limo accidently mows down one of their constituents as they beat it out of town. Gosh, that is sad. Where’s my free lunch? By Suzanne de Cornelia on 09/08/2008 1:50 pm I just shake my head on this.No one has called the author on this post.So I guess selected bigotry is ok.

Julia Reed: From Gloria Steinem to Norah O'Donnell, Misogyny and Sexism Are Fine if the Target (Palin) Is on the Right

I agree Linda.They need to just put facts out there and let us decide.Politics being what they are I dont think that will happen.

Julia Reed: From Gloria Steinem to Norah O'Donnell, Misogyny and Sexism Are Fine if the Target (Palin) Is on the Right

Your welcome Lady Gator.Factcheck.org is a good site.Non partisan.There are so many lies and half truths that have been put out there.People really need to do thier research.I prefer my fiction in books not the news media.

Julia Reed: From Gloria Steinem to Norah O'Donnell, Misogyny and Sexism Are Fine if the Target (Palin) Is on the Right

Hi Diana, I have been reading the post on WOW and it has been interesting.Just a note:The Times is right leaning..I thought that was funny.I guess MSNBC must also be right leaning.Anyways everyone has their own opinion.Here are few things I have picked up.This is from Factcheck.org site. Summary We’ve been flooded for the past few days with queries about dubious Internet postings and mass e-mail messages making claims about McCain’s running mate, Gov. Palin. We find that many are completely false, or misleading. Palin did not cut funding for special needs education in Alaska by 62 percent. She didn’t cut it at all. In fact, she tripled per-pupil funding over just three years. She did not demand that books be banned from the Wasilla library. Some of the books on a widely circulated list were not even in print at the time. The librarian has said Palin asked a “What if?” question, but the librarian continued in her job through most of Palin’s first term. She was never a member of the Alaskan Independence Party, a group that wants Alaskans to vote on whether they wish to secede from the United States. She’s been registered as a Republican since May 1982. Palin never endorsed or supported Pat Buchanan for president. She once wore a Buchanan button as a “courtesy” when he visited Wasilla, but shortly afterward she was appointed to co-chair of the campaign of Steve Forbes in the state. Palin has not pushed for teaching creationism in Alaska’s schools. She has said that students should be allowed to “debate both sides” of the evolution question, but she also said creationism “doesn’t have to be part of the curriculum.” She will be on Charlie Gibson thursday and that will give most a chance to see a little more of her hopefully.I interested in learning more about all are candidates and their vp choices.

Whoopi Goldberg: 'John McCain Now Is a Republican Talking Head'

There is no sense in it.As to why women dont respond I not sure.Why do reporters always ask if Sarah Palin can take care of her family and do the job?I have never heard a man ask that question. The only radio stations that I think are part of FOX are BOR,Hannity, and Colmes.Those 3 have radio stations.If women started emailing them that would definately get their attention lol.It is a good way to let them know that your not going to take it.That is how you make them listen.

Whoopi Goldberg: 'John McCain Now Is a Republican Talking Head'

There is no need for that type of attack.They are suppose to be professionals.I dont think you can stop them but by emailing them and their sponsors maybe they will think twice before takeing cheap shots.You probably have their email and websites but here they are again Mark Levin http://marklevinshow.com/ marklevin.show@citcomm.com Chris Baker chrisbaker@ktlkfm.com http://www.ktlkfm.com/pages/chrisbaker.html Jim Quinn http://www.warroom.com/ quinn@warroom.com Mark Belling 12100 W.

Whoopi Goldberg: 'John McCain Now Is a Republican Talking Head'

It is pathetic.If you disagree with someone then you do it on the issues.You dont make fun of their physical attributes or gender.I am glad I dont listen to radio.

The Sarah Palin Bikini Photo Fraud: Photoshop, the Internet and the Politics of Personal Destruction

As far as age I remember when the Rockies were foothills.We need to get away from this them against us politics.I found that working together is the way to get things done.I definately agree with you on good debates.From different views solutions can be found to solve problems.We do need to get back to that.Yes I am enjoying Wow.It seems like a good site to voice opinions.On conservative sites I get hammered because I am pro choice and believe in raiseing minimum wage.On liberal sites I get hammered for being against illegal immigration and the for the right to bear arms.Makes life interesting I guess.Have a good weekend.

The Sarah Palin Bikini Photo Fraud: Photoshop, the Internet and the Politics of Personal Destruction

I agree with you Diana.With the internet it should be easier to get to the truth.You have to seperate partisan from non partisan sites to get to facts at times.That can be difficult but it is possible.I miss the days when you could argue politics then go drink a few beers together.

The Sarah Palin Bikini Photo Fraud: Photoshop, the Internet and the Politics of Personal Destruction

Actually I do.A liberal is open minded and tolerant.This wasnt about the picture this was about Huff attacking the kids.That was what the link was for.”I wont say Huffs has typical liberals.I have friends with liberal views and know better.” Apparently you missed that.That is ok if you accept the posts at Huffs of the little girl as ok well I guess the post was wasted.To me it shows the worse side of politics and shouldnt be accepted by any reasonable person.

Whoopi Goldberg: Sarah Palin 'Is a Very Dangerous Woman'

A non bias one at that.I know it is hard to find a non partisan source but it gives more credibility to the discussion.

Post-conventions, do you think it's going to be a tight race?

I agree.Kick them all out and start over.Anytime they give a speech or debate they must have truth detectors attached with audio.When they lie it sets off a loud siren.
