Roseanne Attacks Obama and Oprah - Again!
Filed under: Politik > Barack Obama > Oprah Winfrey > When Celebrities Blog > Hillary Clinton
She's at it again!
'80s sitcom star Roseanne has posted another shortsighted tirade on her blog.
This time, she says:
"oprah winfrey
has refused to do a show with the FIRST WOMAN candidate for President who has EVER won a primary election, in the history of the United States of America. I saw Hilary on the ridiculous tyra banks' show, and fumed. Hilary deserves to have been able to address the huge female demographic that Oprah's billions came from. How very disgusting, and how very very telling!! Maybe if Hilary was discussing her fat thighs Oprah would have had her on. Oprah doesn't really seem to respect the intelligence of her audience at all. Obama slaps the faces of his supporters with his traitorous praise of ronald reagan, the man who singlehandedly destroyed the working people, the economy, and the mental health safety net in this country, and told inner city kids that ketchup was a vegetable. I pray for the speedy failure of his divisive anti-feminist campaign. Oprah COULD HAVE delivered her viewers an audience with the most powerful and successful woman in American politics since Eleanor Roosevelt, and the only democratic candidate who has a prayer of winning this election at the most crucial time there has ever been in this country. I believe its she and David Geffen's plan to elect fellow billionaire Romney. This country's not going to elect a democrat who speaks well of republicans and reagan, like Barack Hussein Obama does. Wake Up! Diss-ing women's century-old fight for political representation of their voice makes me SICK!!! "
I am convinced Roseanne hits the wine bottle and twenty minutes later she's blogging.
Put down the wine bitch.
VOTE OBAMA IF YOU WANT CHANGE FOR THE GOOD IN THIS COUNTRY.
VOTE OBAMA
Thank God this hippie era comedy queen has the b*lls to call it for what it is.
The generation who witnessed Viet Nam know what's really up. Go, Rosie. You have mucho courage, as always. Screw political correctness. Oprah should demonstrate responsible neutrality, at least on her nation-wide show, and give the others equal time. She can support who she wants off screen, unless her show is a pitching political forum.
Seriously though Perez, how could you deny what she's saying?
She may be washed up, but for once she has some really true insight into this election.
HILARY CLINTON FOR PREZ. FUCK OBAMA and HIS NASTY REPUBLICAN FRIENDS!!!!
"only democratic candidate who has a prayer of winning this election" I think most political pundits and strategists (on both sides) realize whoever wins the Democrat nomination will be the next President…where has she been?
IT'S GREAT TO SEE SO MANY AGREE WITH ROSEANNA
SHE IS SMART AND I DO NOT THINK SHE IS CRAZY AT ALL
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ROSEANNE
Try forgetting about your intense dislike of her long enough to actually consider what she says.
You need to figure something out- if you want to be a gossip blogger who trashes people fine, stick with that. But stay out of politics if you're not even INTERESTED in the message celebs want to convey if they're someone you already dislike.
I completely agree!! good on you!
So what if sheis fat… jeees. Half you lot sitting at home is fat too… what losers to diss someones opinon cause of their weight,
lol
Rosanne is 100% right! She makes a lot of valid posts in that blog, good for her!
I think she has a point…why is Oprah so scared of Hilary Clinton that she refuses to give her a forum…and as for the rest of the fucking idiots on this website why when you can't think of anything clever to say do you all resort to making personal comments based on someones looks… i for one would like to see some of the people who make these comments…and if i had contact details for them i could let them know when they are casting for Wrong Turn 3
I completely agree with her, 100%!!! I could never and will never vote for Obama, especially after what he said about Ronald Reagan and the republicans being the only one with ideas in the last 10-15 years. That totally put me off. Also the fact that he is so loved by all the celebrities also makes me want to puke. They're idiots and don't need a president to fight for their rights. Everyday Americans need a president, not celebrities that live in lala land.
she has a point!!!
I completely agree with her. Why wouldn't Oprah give the only woman in the running in history a platform???
I am so sick of Oprah and her reverse racism. Roseann is absolutley right!!!!
Blacks only see color in this election…… They are simpletons. Thats why they were slaves,,,,,,, the truth hurts, but the REPUBLICANS will TEAR HIM TO PIECES,,,, we need a democrate in office to avoid wwiii,,,,,,,, sorry OBAMA you are too slow & soft ______________ GO HILLARY,,, OPRAH IS SCARED OF YOU,, SHE IS A STUPID TELEVISION HOST, get a clue…
It's too bad that Roseanne is saying this because it's not going to get the credit it deserves. She is TOTALLY right about Oprah (and Hilary).
Who CARES what Oprah's motivations are? Who CARES what Obama's middle name is? If you guys are basing what is supposed to be an intelligent,rational vote on non-issues like this. then God bless the USA. Learn the issues;learn what is really going on. Base you political opinions on what you read in the newspaper, cnn.com, discuss with your friends, not on some wacko has-been actress.
I love you morons who (supposedly) read someone's opinion like this and your response is "EWWW- She's Gross". Are you the kid in Grade 3 who is criticized by the teacher and your response is, "Well, you're ugly!"? GROW.UP.OR.SHUT.UP.
SHES RIGHT. OPRAH NEEDS HILLARY ON HER SHOW! OPRAH SHOULD KNOW BETTER!
It's tough to give any merit to someone who can't even punctuate or form complete sentences. Oprah is backing Obama, period. It would look silly for her to have Hillary on there. However, if she wins the primary, I bet Oprah would book her in a heartbeat. Roseanne and Rosie are both ridiculous, they are just trying to get press. I'm sure they both know a TON about politics, especially how non-celebrities are affected by the different candidates' plans for reform.
Big Ups Rosanne Barr
Again, you should avoid any hint of politics, Perez. You are way out of your league. Hilary should be on Oprah's show. It's as bad as CNN broadcasting Glenn Beck and then not offering a liberal alternative.
Anyway, Rosanne is right.
rosie is a recycled nightmare who will always remain a-has-been, but she's right here. the only reason they go crazy over Barak Couscous Obama is b/c he's black. the entire country lost its mind over these liberal clowns running for office.
Vote Hillary or Ron Paul, either one will bring us the change that we need. Go Rosanne!
She's absolutely right! And you Perez are going to look like a goddamn fool when Hillary wins. As for Oprah, this is not a white or black thing, this is about Oprah not wanting to share the limelight with a woman even more intelligent, influential, and powerful than she is. Oprah likes to the Head Bithc in Charge! She considers Obama, beneath her, but Hillary is formidable competition. Oprah's ego is bigger than both her hamhocks combined.
Not a fan of Roseanne, but she makes a valid point. Hilary is clearly more qualified for the position. It's unfortunate that we don't take the time to identify what each candidate stands for, but rather form our opinions by who television/internet personalities are supporting. Oprah will always have more money than any of us and frankly, I know she'll never have MY best interest in mind.
Is Roseanne a natural blond? WAIT, WAIT, WAIT - don't show me.
Fuck, that was close.
I like her bangs.
I am honestly agreeing with Roseanne, Perez… She capture the essence of the whole thing. Hilary could be the greatest thing that could happen to America now and Oprah is oblivious to what this country needs right now!
Re: OPRAH >>> MOVE 2 AFRICA –
Two words for you…..SPELL CHECK! I believe it is you who is the ignorant simpleton. I added the ignorant for good measure.
I think she is right and I agree with THIS particular assessment, and I come from Illinois! Although to be quite fair, although Obama represents the State of Illinois, Hillary was actually born in it.
How can anyone trust someone with "hussein" in their middle name?
What a LUNATIC!!!! Perfect example of a Hillary supporter. OBAMA '08!!!!
If you are more photogenic than this hag, check out the FunMobility photo contest and submit your pic for a chance to win $1,000.
I totally agree with her. Doesn't really matter what Oprah does though. Hillary's the next pres.
I dont know shit about politics specially AMERICAN politics but.. she seem's to make some valid points. Oprah MAY support Obama 100% but… she should give support to Hilary at least a lil' since it seems like SMART non-trashy American's want either Hilary or Obama to win, no? But what do I know. nothing.
Uh, sorry Perez. She's completely right! Although calling him Barak Hussein Obama is a little lame.
Even though I think Roseanne is crazy and am not a fan of hers, she does have a valid point. Besides the ranting about Obama, Oprah has shown favoritism for Obama, neglecting to even bring up the other canidates and what they have to offer. Her main demographic is, well obviously, women who would probably like to see something about Hilary and the fact that she has made a large step in the women's movement. And it does seem that Oprah has made her choice based on race, neglecting the fact that women have seen more opposion than a black man.
IS THERE ANYONE THIS POTATO-HEAD DOSN'T HATE? SHE HAS PROBLEMS WITH EVERYONE IN HER LIFE. THE PEOPLE ON HER SHOWS, HER PARENTS, HER KIDS, HER HUSBANDS, BLAH BLAH BLAH. SHUT UP ROSANNE, YOU ARE AN UNTALENTED BORE NO ONE CARES ABOUT!!!
SHE'S RIGHT THOUGH!
She has a point. Why does Perez dislike her so much? She's just as relevant as he is and she's FAR more talented/funny. She was on tv in the 90's too, not just the 80's.
Isn't it a little ironic that Perez calls Roseanne "SAD" for voicing her opinion?
Whether you agree or not, she has right to post whatever she wants, much like the opinions boasted on this site by Perez and/or the users of this site.
I think it's SAD that perez doesn't back free speech even though he utilizes that very freedom to sustain his own life. ???? hmmmmm
Straight from HillaryClinton.com Dec "07 -
Her list of favorite presidents - Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Lincoln, both Roosevelts, Truman, George H.W. Bush and Reagan - demonstrates how she thinks.
I agree with Roseanne.. I love Oprah.. but Roseanne is 100% right on this one..
I think she makes sense. what makes you a political wiz you fat fucking trashy cuban refugee?
Well sayd Rosie!!!!
She was and will always be a fat, ugly sow who can't keep a man, even if she buys one. What a pig.
I agree with Roseanne completely! Oprah Winfrey is a closeted Republican…EVERYONE knows that!
And what would be the point of having her on the show when Lady O has clearly come out in support of Obama. IF she wins the nomination, then it would be appropriate for her to be on the show and share her platform with O's audience, but until the fat lady has sung (Roseanne), then there is no need. Oprah should really try all you all who are talking reckless against her and run re-runs until Super Tuesday because she is busy crossing the country working to get votes for the next president of our great nation: BARACK OBAMA!!!!!
Roseanne ROCKS!!! OPRAH is the antichrist sent here to destroy us all.
Oprah DOES NOT HAVE TO SUPPORT HILIARY BECAUSE SHE'S A WOMAN. Roseanne I USE TO LIKE YOU. But now, I can't stand you. You are an ignorant woman who needs a hobby. You are ill informed.
Oprah has only supported WHITE candidates before Obama. Oprah's main guru's are white and mostly gay. She's catered to white women all her life. So, what if she wants to support a man for president who happens to be black. No, you're the racist and the sexist who keeps mentioning race and gender. This is America - freedom of choice. Oprah has the right to choose whomever she likes. PS Ellen is the #! talk show host now. Go, throw your temper tantrums her way. Ellen's got more influence. PS Rupert Murdoch. This Jewish Republican media magnate owns most of the major newspapers in the US. He's got the real influence. Educate yourself. It's really whoever Rupert endorses that will have a much larger impact than Oprah.
SHE'S RIGHT!!
Re: Yari – Re: bobo – Absolutely right,very well said…
Roseanne is right!! Just goes to show that the reporting done by television corporations, including Oprah's Corporation, is not fair and balanced! What a sham.
OPRAH NEEDS TO STOP BEING A RACIST HO AND LET HILLARY ON HER SHOW
She's so right!
it would be nice to see hiliary on oprah since they are both powerful women and oprah's main audience is women
SHE IS RIGHT. WAKE UP AMERICA. HILARY IS EXTREMELY EXPERIENCED AND COMPETENT, SOMETHING THIS COUNTRY NEEDS. TO SUPPORT OBAMA JUST CUZ' HE IS BLACK… NOW THATS IGNORANT.
WE NEED LEADERSHIP.
OPRAH IS TOO MUCH OF A MISS GOODY GOODY, CHOOSING HER TOPICS AND GUESTS CAREFULLY TO INFLUENCE HER AUDIENCE. SHE THINKS SHE IS SOME SHRINK OR GENIOUS…. WANT HER TO SHUT UP ALREADY.
GO HILARY!
LAME! It's lame to position for Oprah to take. Hopefully her audience won't just go with Obama JUST because she's backing him…Oprah was all over Dr. Phil's jock back in the day and look what a flaming douchebag he turned out to be! Oprah should grow up and have both Obama and Hilary on her show. STEEL CAGE DEATH MATCH!!!
I guess this fat pig wants to tell us and Oprah how to think and vote. Wasn't this cow a drug addict, marriage cheater, who spat on the american flag at a baseball game????
Hey fat bitch, Tyra Bank's talk show is a HUGH success compared to your show which was cancelled early in comparison.
Even Tom Arnold said you were an abusive fucktard. She'll turn people off to Hillary.
She is dead wrong. That woman is crazy. Oprah did have Hillary Clinton on her show, when she was there to promote her book! Barack hasn't been on the show since he decided to run for president. Get your fact straight crazy bitch!!
Once again Roseanne speaks the truth. If Perez could stop being so one-sided all the time and remove the personal feelings he has for Roseanne, he might be able to see that she is telling the truth.
How about you learn to spell the candidate's name you're voting for. It's Hillary, not Hilary.
She is rooting for Hilary for all the wrong reasons.I think she has a problem with a BIRACIAL man running and possibly becoming president. She thinks all woman should vote for Hilary so somewhere in time we can say…we had a female president.That would be nice, but not if we can't back up why she was elected. Half the shit Hilary says, I don't understand.She uses all this bull to cover up the simplest points. It's annoying.Her voice sounds like Charlie Brown's teacher. Obama, knows what we as people want. He elaborates on that. He knows what it's like to struggle. Hilary came from a great background, her husband was president. I read this somewhere by some actor..lol "Kids who grow up living rich lives don't grow up to appreciate things like acting"……..why you ask? Growing up richly everything is handed to you or inherited. You go to the best schools. Work with the best people. You don't struggle, you don't really get to appreciate it for what it's worth. HILARY IS ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE.She is going to get in that white house again and after awhile she isn't going to appreciate it when more problems start flowing in. I don't trust Hilary, I'm sorry.
Well, she's right.
But don't you worry, honey, Hilary will be the next US President. We Russians will take every possible effort to make it so.
peace
Roseanne you are an ignorant fuck. The show is call "Oprah" because she owns it. That means she can do WHATEVER she wants, SUPPORT AND ENDORSE whoever she wants and no I am not an Obama support; just an American citizen that believes in our freedoms! SO START YOUR OWN SHOW AND HAVE HILLARY ON IT AND STFU
Re: Yari – you said it best.
personally, i think roseanne and rosie odonnell should get a tv show together.
*yawn* what is this pig/cow babbling about? Roseanne is pathetic.
I totally agree with Rosanne. I hate Oprah
Oprah believes Obama embodies her beliefs. Hillary Clinton does not. End of story. Hillary Clinton is a liar and an opportunist. Its been proven, people just need to pay attention and do a little more research!! Imagine that!! Think before we speak, how quaint.
Re: Ronald Reagan –
So "Ronald Reagan" is the only reason you like President Reagan was because he was white? With the laundry list of qualifications that Barack Obama has whether you support him or not, no person would ever need to support him because of race. Under your logic, Rev. Pat Robertson is only endorsed Mayor Rudy Guiliani because he is white. "Ronald Reagan" your premise is completey fowl. If Oprah endorsed Obama because he is black, then why did she not endorse Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson when they ran for President since its about being black as you stated in your post? Furthermore under your logic, Senator John Kerry, former Senators Bradley and Daschle, Senator Claire Mackaskill, Gov. Janet Napolitano ( all of whom are white ) must have endorsed Obama becauce he is black. Your premise makes no sense at all. Do you think that Oprah Winfrey has earned a net worth of $1.5 Billion dollars by being unintelligent?
fuck obama. go hillary~
so basically you want Oprah to side with Hillary because they're both women. I just want to get this right.
White people are mad she's backing Obama, supposedly because he's black. Yet, women across the country are fuming because she not backing another woman.
Could it be the woman is simply backing the candidate she personally believes in????
Gimme a Break
It was only a matter of time before white people found a reason to flip on Oprah. WHite people were fine with her all these decades, now when she strongly supports a person of color…you're all clutching your pearls in shock
Roseanne makes some excellent points in her rant. I understand not liking her considering some of her rants are whack!! But this rant…. This is interesting.. and very True. Oprah makes me sick.
I love Roseanne, but wait a second people. Oprah's show is Oprah's show. She should and could have who ever the fuck she wants on it. If I had a show I sure as hell wouldn't be putting George Bush or Mike Huckabee on it because they "deserve fair time".
THAT being said, (and I am a fan of Oprah) I really do feel as if Oprah supports him because he is black. Oprah isn't very polotical savy to begin with. She hasn't even talked about politics before this, and has never shown support to any previous presidential candidates, but all of a sudden a black candidate comes along and BAM, she's all over it. I don't think she carries her own beliefs or standards, she just sees color and then follows suite in whatever beliefs of the person she's supporting.

I don't understand why this comment is shortsighted?? The woman is stating facts… Not a huge fan of the Hill, but she SHOULD be given airtime on Oprah. and Barack did praise RONALD effing REAGAN, who bombed out the CA economy, then followed w/ the US. YAY EDWARDS!!! Look into his platforms. you might find he stands for everything you believe in.
She does have a point. I live in San Francisco and have seen the "effect" of the whole Ronald Regan 's neglect on Metal Patients . I don't think it's fair that Obama bash Hillary or even try to smear her for being a woman, In fact I don't think it's fair at all that he use that knowing that she can't play the card nor would she ever that he is black. Very sad. Oprah does have the power to give her a chance and should. it's sad. I'm going with the only person who would consider a positive and empowering change and that is Hilary.
Rosanne is RIGHT!!!! Oprah can't stand the thought of another woman being more powerful than she is……which is what Hillary will be when she becomes PRESIDENT!!!! GGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOO HILLARY!!!!! HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT! Barrack Hussain Obama will NOT be president!
She has many good points. While you, Perez, have no political insight into anything besides what marginally affects pillow biters.
Re: Amy –
LOL So true! The hypocrisy of the hillary supporters in these comments is laughable at best. She's CHOSEN to support ONE person exclusively. So therefore she will naturally only have that person on.
It's HER show. If you don't like it, don't watch and move on to watch the show that WILL have her on. It's that simple.
Mentioning that Oprah is supporting Obama because of RACE is stupid and shows how trifling you people are. That's like me saying you only support Hillary because she's white…………
When living in a glass house it might behoove you NOT to throw stones.
ROSEANNE is awesome…I totally agree!!

Roseanne you are so right. Orca is so making this about being black and the USA knows it. Orca is a fraud and stupid white woman treat her like she is God. Yes a big fat white acting God. HILLARY IS OUR NEXT PRESIDENT AND YOU ARE GONNA LOVE IT!
So sad that Roseanne, a washed up 80's sitcom star, believes that she can influence a generation looking to elect a respectable president with her no sense blogging. Please leave the elections to those who can sing the national anthem without grabbing ourselves!
YOU IDIOTS obama wasnt praising ronald regan he was just saying that for the 80's he was the man we where looking for, someone tougher then carter, and for these times hes the man that the country seems to be looking for….he said nothing that would come close to praising what regan did while in office. Read what he said before you talk
she is 100% right–wonder if the NEW talk queen, ellen, will host hill
Perez, get your head out of your ass. Roseanne is a smart woman and she is 100% right on this. Hillary has the knowledge and the experience and the intelligence to fix the mess that Bush has created. Barack does not! And Oprah is disgusting for not giving Hillary the opportunity to reach her audience.
Oprah is trying to target audiences who don't want to think, just listen to her and blindly vote for Hussein Obama. While all the other candidates have been scrutinized one way or another, Obama has gotten a free ride! African Americans-many will vote for him simply because he's black…remember when OJ ? So many African Americans new he was a murderer but didn't care that he was not convicted, they were happy that a BLACK man got away with murderer.
sorry, but you have to admit she's right
I am glad that Mrs Perez is showing this…
I Hope this Blog gives some people
a wake up call ang get Hillary on the White House
Even though Americans are so stupid that wouldnt
surprise me to see Obama wining…
Re: dylan –
Hmmm kind of like you do????? Because I'm going to ASSUME just like YOU ASSUME that you know nothing of politics and are only going for Hillary because of race………….
YES!!! FINALLY!!! SOMEONE CALLS OPRAH OUT!
Once again Perez your atemps to make Rosseanne look bad has failed.When are you going to learn! Roseanne is just plain smarter than you,your just sore because she put you in your place once. Get over it! ha ha ha ha ha
Damn straight, Rosie is right no. Oprah is only caring about the Black thing.. Any one hear of reverse Discrimination. I could care less what the persons color is, but what their politics are. Oprah is only caring about supporting a fellow black person. Not a good thing Oprah.
I, unlike a lot of people who responded, don't think Rosanne's right at all. Oprah can like OBAMA simply for his politics. The fact that his father was Muslim, even though Obama was raised Christian, is so ridiculously irrelevant, and should be obvious to any educated person.
Also, just because he's black, every black person supports him? Not true, Oprah is just one woman and she's chosen who she wants to endorse.
She may be annoying…but she's right!
If we are ever going to make any progress in this country, we need to stop the straight up HATRED towards the "other side" Cant one side agree with some of what the other side has done, how is that "treacherous"?? We are ALL americans, right? Both sides are all the same anyway, all for big government, taking YOUR hard earned money to give to others, and regulating your freedoms away. the ONLY person who wants to stop this is RON PAUL!!!!
Hilary Clinton has been on Oprah!!!
Roseanne kicks ass..
RIGHT ON, MAUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
F**K YOU, BLACKS. It's not your time yet. 
I
Re: dylan – And I didn't mean that as a race issue, as there are people who support Hilary as well simply because of gender. People need to look further into what they stand for and what they are going to do for America.
Personally, I'm Canadian, but I think Obama or Clinton would do the U.S. good.
But you know for a fact if and when Obama is president Oprah will go on a major power trip and mention her "friend AND president" Barack every week on her show.
