Like I have said before, THEIR TRUE COLORS!

The main reasons for her not inviting Sarah onto her show is because first, she is the wrong color and secondly, Sarah will easily show that Oprah should stay the hell out of politics. There is no question Oprah can ask of Sarah without Sarah stuffing it back in her face.

I think your right RL. I can't see Sarah Palin lowering herself that much by going on smut-TV.

Why are some of the republicans here trying to turn everything into a race issue? This is not about race.

Cynpro, All I am saying is what has already been said on the left. I didn't start the race thing, your fair haired empty suit did and further he claims to be African. That alone is an insult to the true African Americans. But too many people can't comprehend the difference and can not see beyond the color of his skin.

Have any of you actually viewed the Oprah show? Despite her personal views, her show is primarily catered to Caucasian housewives and/or middle to upper class Caucasian women. Her audience consists of primarily Caucasian women, ages ranging from mid 20's to early 60's. I personally don't watch...too much fluff...but my 32 year old Caucasian wife (Oprah's core audience) watches regularly and even owns boxed DVD sets. And, she(my wife) is a large fan and supporter of Sarah Palin. (just another example of humans being able to enjoy and/or appreciate two contrasting things)

If Oprah doesn't like her Palin MUST be wonderful!

Maybe she is viewed as a threat to Oprah's self-proclaimed goddess status as the head of her own new religion.

CynPro - it's not about race? If Obama were white, he'd have been crucified for the things he's done...especially that racist church...
Race is very much a part of it. However, race aside, the guy's an incompetent idiot...that's much more noticeable than his color.

What I dont understand is this..

When this story aired on the Greta Van Susteran show. She had a poll about this very thing and NEARLY 80% of the viewers said that Oprah was racist for not having Palin on her show. Now to me that is ridiculous! Just because she doesnt want to have someone on her show doesnt make her a racist. And plus. Oprah has not has any Presidential candidate on her show since this campaign started and she said that she wouldnt. Oh yeah Obama was on before but that was before he announced his run for the White House! She said that she will bring Palin on after the election. now I dont watch Oprah but I am just tired of all of this turning into a race thing. and they say Blacks are more racist. Racism can be divided equally among the races but I can tell you this. America isnt ready for a change just yet. We complain about Palin and we complain about Obama. It seems to me that if the person who is running for the White House isnt White or a man, America as a whole isnt ready for him OR her!!

Afelt, Oprah clearly, publicly, stated that she endorses Obama. It seems you have ignored that, or missed it.

That means it would be quite impossible for Governor Palin to appear on her show.

Oprah is NOT impartial.

I don't KNOW that one could reasonably call Oprah a racist for this..I agree that it says a lot about her that she SAYS that she won't have either of them on the show until AFTER the election..THAT'S Fair..
However,, it must ALSO be noted that although he hadn't as yet announced his candidacy..THEY were talking about that possibility on her show..Make of THAT what you will..

On the OTHER hand,,I find it INTERRESTING that SHE has NOT had Tiger Woods on her show after HE refused to be Identified AT OPRAH'S INSISTANCE as THE Icon of Black Superiority in Sports..
Make of THAT what you will too...

The point that I was trying to make Frank is that its not wrong for a person to not invite someone on their show. I know that she endorse Obama but just because she doesnt want Palin on her show, she shouldnt be labeled a racist. I know on here no one really said that she is racist but on other blogs i have seen them call her that and to me thats wrong.

I agree with that statement rexsmom

Did she endorse Obama simply because of percieved race? (Obama is half muslim, not African)

I can only say yes. No one knew then, or even knows now what he really means by his buzzword "change".

No apology necessary afelt. I pretty much know your views from blogging with you here.

To reiterate, she is not racist, but she is most certainly biased. She has publicly endorsed Obama. She cannot be impartial to ANY other candidate. Because Obama is considered black by many, Oprah's endorsement may be construed as racist. Maybe she just likes his ideas, and it has nothing to do with the color of his skin? I don't know what his ideas are myself. Do you?

But because of her very public endorsement of Obama, it is quite obvious she cannot be an impartial host for any that are opposing Obama.
She would have the Vice President on her show AFTER the election. In her dreams!
