Oprah disses Palin, so Florida GOP women boycott Oprah


The Florida Federation of Republican Women, miffed that Oprah Winfrey refuses to invite Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin on her show, will be boycotting the show and cancelling their subscriptions to Oprah's "O" magazine, the group announced today.

"Women in Florida helped build Oprah into the icon she is today,'' said Linda Ivell, president of the federation. "With our Republican sisters across the nation, we have collectively enjoyed her entertaining, informative and female-driven programming as we raised our families and became more empowered as women. We are deeply disappointed in Ms. Winfrey's decision to sit out the greatest political moment in the history of women since suffrage."

She said Winfrey's decision is "an abuse of her power –gained on the backs of our patronage of her advertising empire."

Obama_and_oprah_in_scWinfrey is an active supporter of Democrat Barack Obama and hosted several events on his behalf in key primary states. She has also hosted a fundraiser in her home and has drawn many new volunteers to the campaign. But she said in a statement: "At the beginning of this presidential campaign when I decided that I was going to take my first public stance in support of a candidate, I made the decision not to use my show as a platform for any of the candidates."

Winfrey had invited Obama on her show twice before he announced his decision to run for president -- in January 2005 and in the fall of 2006 shortly before he announced his candidacy. She never invited Hillary Clinton during the primaries and she said Friday she would "love" to have Palin on her show, but only after the Nov. 4 election.

OPRAH ... from spending several years in Jeremiah Wright's anti-American racist church, listening to sermons like "God Damn America", and giving life time achievement awards to the likes of Louis Farrakhan ... to her newest opportunistic religious beliefs ... who could possibly take Oprah seriously? This woman's ego is soooo big, being a billionaire celebrity isn't enough, she has to start her own religion ... not to mention all the additional money she is going to make selling all those book, tapes, CD's, etc. to her poor followers. Oprah's new power hungry ambitions include efforts to replace traditional America with Obama ... and access to a President she puts into office ... to her efforts at replacing Christianity with a new religion she controls. I think it's time for America to deny Oprah access to our television sets.

Oprah: Can't have what Palin has in a million years: Family, good looks, respect of friends, community and loved ones, children, grandchildren, skills....

Money is important and we all need to do our best. But at what expense? My guess is that Oprah is one miserable human being who is constantly watching her back. I honestly hopes she retires, gets some therapy and gives back to her community here in this country.

Oprah's ratings are falling:
January 14-20
RANK PROGRAMS ORIG Persons Live+SD (000)
#4 OPRAH WINFREY SHOW CTD 7,594

August 18-24
RANK PROGRAMS ORIG Persons Live+SD (000)
#6 OPRAH WINFREY SHOW CTD 5,233

Here are some of the sponsors:
Lowes, Chase, Visa, Wachovia, Frontline, Murad, Clinique, Philosophy, Pella, Pfizer, Bali, Disney/Universal and Target.

Spit out the Kool Aid folks...you'll feel better. Face reality, turn Oprah off and tune her out. Take action.
Spend your former Oprah time writing some of these sponsors. Then spend it helping your kids, family, community or getting in some exericse. You will be much happier, healthier and thinner spending your time doing something else!
