Outrage: Obama Promoter, Oprah Drudge is reporting here that she is balking at hosting Sarah Palin


BIG DILEMMA: OPRAH BALKS AT HOSTING SARAH PALIN; STAFF DIVIDED
Fri Sep 05 2008 08:55:46 ET

Oprah Winfrey may have introduced Democrat Barack Obama to the women of America -- but the talkshow queen is not rushing to embrace the first woman on a Republican presidential ticket!

Oprah's staff is sharply divided on the merits of booking Sarah Palin, sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.

"Half of her staff really wants Sarah Palin on," an insider explains. "Oprah's website is getting tons of requests to put her on, but Oprah and a couple of her top people are adamantly against it because of Obama."

One executive close to Winfrey is warning any Palin ban could ignite a dramatic backlash!

It is not clear if Oprah has softened her position after watching Palin's historic convention speech.

Last year, Winfrey blocked an appearance by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, timed to a promotional tour of his autobiography.

Oprah and executive producer Sheri Salata, who has contributed thousands of dollars to Obama's campaign, refused requests for comment.

Oprah Refuses To Interview Most Popular Woman in America
Oprah says on her website

There has been absolutely no discussion about having Sarah Palin on my show.

I agree that Sarah Palin would be a fantastic interview, and I would love to have her on after the campaign is over.


Who believes there has been "no discussion" about having the most popular woman in America on her show?

Low lifes over at Huffington Post now have individual pages for each member of the Palin family, including 6 year old Piper. A 6 year is being mocked......

Doesn't suprise me at all...Oprah is a big Obama supporter.
I haven't watched her show in 2 yrs and have no intentions of ever doing so again. She has an overflated EGO and seems to forget where she started from.

Agreed, Christine!
That aside...
C'mon, Oprah!
GIVE BIG OR GO HOME!!!
What would Oprah do if those on her staff in favor of it decided to join the McCain/Palin team?
Hmmmm.....

Did you actually read the Drudge Report? It's not even true.

Dumb people on Oprah's website are writing comments that Todd Palin is on the board of BP. Serioulsy? Other readers are believing it.
Of course Oprah would not want her viewers to support Palin. Orah herself does not want to see other women succeed. So what she donates a lot of money, she needs to for tax write offs and the publicity. She will only promote those who she wants to succeed and then wants the rest of us to be poor and sitting back and looking up to her.

IT'S TIME FOR AMERICA TO DENY OPRAH ACCESS TO OUR TELEVISION SETS
Oprah gives advice on relationships, but has a boy friend who is a
door mat ... gives advice on marriage, but has never been married ...
gives advice on child rearing, but has no children ... gives advice on
Obama, but was a member of Jeremiah Wright's anti-American racist
church for several years. Now, her white women's audience, which made
Oprah rich, wants to know more about Sarah Palin, but Oprah says NO.
No Oprah, No Wright, no Farrakahn, no Ayers, no Rezko,
no mean Michelle, NOBAMA

Oprah is a racist. She attended the same church as Obama and listened to the same preacher. She, a better careerist than even Obama, left the church (if it can be called such a thing) when she realized its (and her own) racist views might affect her audience numbers.
