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!!! "
SHE IS RIGHT!!!! HILLARY IS THE MOST IMPRESSIVE CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT THAT THIS COUNTRY HAS SEEN IN DECADES!!!
OPRAH HAS FORGOTTEN THAT IT IS WOMEN WHO PUT HER WHERE SHE IS!!! TRAITOR!!
Roseanne is right
You know Perezito, I actually agree with her on this one.
Keep it up Roseanne-you speak the truth. Maybe some of these short-sighted people who actually vote will see behinf the lies.
It's interesting how all she cares about is that oooh you Have to vote for the female if you are female. This shows that the States still really only cares about gendre. what is so wrong with backing the candidate that you think will do the best job? Obama all the way. Enough with these "old money" families who are only out to satisfy their own personal agenda. Plus it's pretty pathetic that Hillary is just really riding her husbands popularity. If it was only about her, he would keep his face out of everything until election is over rather than going on record and bashing the competition to "support" his wife.
I think it would do some of you some good to take heed of what Rosie says. She is a pretty smart cookie. I am appauled at the fact that Oprah would not invite Hilary to a show myself. So, get some self respect and educate your selves to the real deal.
I've always liked Roseanne and agree with her statement whole heartly. Oprah lost my attention a long time ago, her show is fake and boring and is mainly for the female viewing audience and she's using her power with the housewives of America to endorse a presidential candidate who should not be in office. I'm not qualified to run for president, nor is Obama. Hilary has the experience, no matter what Oprah's viewers think. Black people would vote Bobby Brown in office if they could, just because he's black. Would America rather have a black man in office as president vs. a woman? Ew……how sad!
Re: team obama –
What did you expect from this lot? It's obvious that they did NOT do their research into Hillary or what Obama said.
You may not like her but she's exactly right about this. I tried to get on board with the Obama thing, but there is really no substance to his campaign and I will not vote for someone who spends so much time stroking Republicans. They have destroyed this country and they need to be eliminated from power, not flattered and coddled. If he really thinks he can "work with" them, he's very naive. They would politically destroy him if he actually became president.
Hillary for President!
Oprah doesn't have Hillary on her show because she is supporting OBAMA!
Intelligent people = Conservatives.
Come on people! Rosanne is liberal and she can't even argue for the Dems correctly!
Let's just keep giving her attention….SHE WILL END UP PUSHING DEMS TO VOTE REPUBLICAN!
How stupid can people be to vote Hillary because they want a woman president. And how stupid for people to vote for OBAMA because he'd be the first black president.
I want a president that will be good for the country!
P.s. Perez…please do something with your hair. It sorta looks like Britneys! Let's go Metro
OPRAH SHOULD HAVE BOTH CANIDATES ON HER SHOW!!!!!
ROSEANNE IS NUTS THOUGH!!!
oprahs stupid. Knew her original producers when she broadcast out of Baltimore - everyone knew her as not the brightest bulb.
See UTube on Obama's former crackhead dealer tell-all………..wants obama to take lie detector as he will……..
so, either we vote for obama and dis women's rights, or vote for hillary and dis black rights?
how about we stick to the issues and leave gender and color out of it, alright you fat pile of trash?
Re: Roseanne is pathetic. – Is that you Perez the one who keeps writing in big bold letters and trying to disguise yourslf?
I agree wuth Roseanne. That fat thigh comment was dead on. Roseanne is funny, I hate Oprah.
SO TRUE..OPRAH IS NOT A REAL JOURNALIST SHE ONLY PROMOTES (BUTT FUCKS US WITH) HER OWN AGENDA I AM SO SICK OF HER HYPOCRISY ..THE FACT THAT SHE WILL NOT LET HER AUDIENCE HEAR BOTH SIDES TO MAKE THEIR OWN DECISION SAYS IT ALL !!! BOYCOTT OPRAH AND HER MANIPULATIVE AND SELF SERVING TACTICS .. RIGHT ON ROSIE
Oprah had Bill Clinton on her show not too long ago discussing his book about Giving. I didn't get a chance to see it but always wondered if he was allowed to discuss his wife's run for the Presidency? Did Hillary have a cameo on that show even? This is kind of like how she had Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston on (with her cast of Friends) her show. Then, after the Pitt/Aniston split, she NEVER had Pitt or Angelina Jolie on her show, even though Jolie is doing peace work in Africa and around the world. What about having Pitt on to discuss follow up to his interest (stated on her show) in humanitarian work? He is now helping build homes in New Orleans.
The bottom line is that Oprah doesn't practice what she preaches: she is not tolerant of everyone; She had a major problem in late 2007 where she publically pushed Obama into running BEFORE she knew Hillary Clinton would run. What to do? She has to support the one she pushed into running.
It's unfair to the public to infer that the only way Hilary will win the election is by being on Oprah. Oprah is entitled to endorse whomever she likes, just like Rosanne or Perez is entitled to endorese whomever they choose. But to then judge someone as "right" or "wrong" by their choise in endorsement is democratically wrong, especially when you pass that judgement as "fact," which is what Roseanne is doing.
ROSEANNE IS RIGHT. Oprah has not offered her viewers any objectivity.
Re: Fan of hers too…. –
Show's how SMART you are. If you knew anything you would know that there is a HUGE following for the Clintons, to include Hillary, in the black and latino community.
GET your story right next time.
Sorry, but I have to agree with her!! The only reason we diss on Roseanne is because she has the guts to say what we are all thinking. More Power to her!
GO HILL HILL
Re: cari – Oprah has had Obama on her show. I swear, she's in real danger here of becoming one of those rumoured illuminati guys behind closed cherrywood doors herself. She needs to stay 'of the people', and that means ALL of the people. Power needs to be used wisely.
Roseanne's "short-sighted tirade" actually makes a LOT of sense. only "sad" because it's true Perez!
I really find it interesting that when you are an African American, and you support another African American your racist, but when your white and you support 200 years of white candidates your just excercising your democratic beliefs. Oprah Winfrey from day one said that she was supporting Barack Obama because she lives in Chicago, Illinois and has watched with her own eyes the things that Obama has done to bring about change. She also said on Larry King Live that because she was supporting Obama, did not mean that she had anything negative to say about Hillary Clinton. Oprah has even recently had Bill Clinton on her show and he talked about Hilllary Clinton's campaign. The last time I checked the name of the show was the Oprah Winfrey show, she has no obligation to have anyone on her show that she does not want on it period. Hillary has been on Ellen, Tyra and many others. Roseanne is the sexist , racist because she is basically saying that because Hillary is a woman and because Oprah is a woman that Oprah should be supporting her. And that kind of thinking is as ignorant as Roseanne's rants!!!! How about supporting people because you like their ideas.
I love Roseanne… AND she's right!!! Go Hillary…
I agree with everything Roseanne said,if you all remember back to the Reagan era you would know. Obama don't have enough experiense,He promise, but can't deliver.He himself said so, He will have he's staff help,RIGHT, is that not what is happening with Bush,I'M JUST ASKING?
Re: OPRAH >>> MOVE 2 AFRICA – Wow! So much racism and hate on this topic. These primaries, caucases, etc. will show the world how truly racist and fearful America still is.
Re: april –
you are fucking brain dead !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Actually i agree with Roseanne. Oprah sucks, and Obama is just a republican in democrat clothing. What democrat in his right mind would ever talk highly of Ronald Reagan. That guy ruined the lives of families like mine! UGH! THE NERVE!
BLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAH……….WHO FUCKING CARES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WAY TO GO ROSEANNE!!!!!! HILLARY '08… FUCK OPRAH!
Re: Katie –
One of the few comments to make any damned sense.
Um…Yeah she's right.
In past years, Oprah always had candidates who represented both sides of the ballot in the past. During the last presidential election, she had BOTH Bush and Gore…so why stop allowing the viewers to hear both sides NOW? Wow O, while I respect your decision to air what you wish on your show, you must understand the platform you present, allow your viewers to at least hear both sides!
Just like your igorant all knowing opinion, this bitch needs to have an opinion too. I don't know who is more obnoxious.. you or her.
Just sayin'….
She has a valid point. Oprah has a tremendous amount of power and though she has endorsed Obama, it would be nice to be balanced. I imagine that she actually might not be able to be subjective (she has vociferously endorsed another candidate, after all), but in many ways Oprah is her own universe, and we require mere networks to give equal time. She should strive for the highest ground, and that ground would be to put HRC on her show.
i can't stand black people…….. maybe Denzel or Martin,, other than that they bug me…….. No wonder black men prefuer our white women,, BLACKS FEAR INTELLECT,, ___HEY OPRAH, jealous much…………. GO HILLARY!!! EXPERIENCE COUNTS
Good for Winfrey. Hillary is a lying sack of crap who believes that the blacks should be slaves to the Clintons and never tries to be a head of them. F*ck the Billiary.
I TOTALLY AGREE……….YOU GO RO……IF WE GET ANOTHER REP…IN OFFICE WE MAY JUST BEND OVER AND KISS OUR ASSES GOOD BYE……..AND FOR THE RECORD I CANT STAND OPRAH
Roseann is right!!! oprah is a racist!!!! clinton and osama er obama are ruining the chances of a democrat win in november!!!John Edwards is the only candidate to win against a repug. at the end of the day,the country will not vote in a black president with muslim roots.or another clinton,too much baggage from the 90's. VOTE A REAL WINNER AND THE ONLY PERSON TO TURN THIS FUCKED UP COUNTRY AROUND JOHN EDWARDS!!!! HE CARES ABOUT PEOPLE!!!!!
Roseanne rocks! Fuck scumbag men and brainwashed women who hate intelligent feminists (yeah, assholes–i said it–feminists) like her. Keep speaking out, Roseanne! We need a voice like yours to counter the mainstream, idiot, corp. media-driven misogyny that pervades our culture. If you are a woman and have any ounce of self-respect–learn women's history–vote for Hillary and stop this feminist bashing. Feminists don't hate all men–we hate misogynists. There's a difference.
Rosanne is right: Oprah is a big fat racist fraud, emphasis on FAT
Yeah she's gross, but she's also on the money.
If she's such a Clinton supporter, then why can't she even spell Hillary's name correctly? What an assclown!
Perez, you totally missed the mark with this one. Never thought I would say this, but Rosanne is 100% right. I truly believe Oprah is pushing for him because she's sooo attracted to him. We could have our first woman president if Oprah stood behind Hillary. Not just because she's a woman, but because she's the right choice.
Re: New York –
Those are the closet hypocrites and closet racists speaking. The first ones to talk about reverse discrimination.
OH THEY ONLY SUPPORT HIM CAUSE HE'S BLACK!!!
But then they are white themselves and are supporting a white woman…….
I'm sorry, but I can't be the only one to see the hypocrisy in this. Perhaps, they are just calling others out to deflect from the reality that they are the ones actually voting based on gender/race.
And if you really want change, you'd go for the person who has new and fresh ideas. If Hillary wins, we are guaranteed 4 more years of Bill Clinton. That's not change, that's a dependency.
Does she have a big mouth and get on the nerves of almost everyone… YES! But the Roseanne makes a valid point. Oprah's main demographic is women. It seems odd she hasn't had her on her show. She IS the first female canidate to run, we are talking about making history here. She needs to take her lips off Barack's ass and start being a talk show host again, keep the politics with the politicans.
I'M A RACIST!!!!
Good for her. This is the real truth and she speaks it with great clarity. Wake up sheeple!!!
But in truth - Oprah had Rep. & Dem. candidates on her show to be fair. She loses her credibility as a media person when she chooses sides in this way. She can endorse candidates on her personal time, but sponsors are not paying for Obama's political advertisements. She's a greedy and sneaky person that should give all sides a fair shake. I'm not even sure I'm voting for Hilary and I find this behavior of Oprah's objectionable.
If you are poor or middle-class — or if you care about someone who is poor or middle-class — your best bet is to NOT elect a "business as usual" candidate, ESPECIALLY not this time. Believe it: Hillary is just a female version of "business as usual" politician. And Edwards? Absolutely another "business as usual" candidate who will say ANYTHING to get elected. Do you really think these two care about the poor and the middle-class? It is dangerous to be naive about these two candidates — especially Hillary-the-Walmart-Board-member. Yes, the same Walmart who is making the Chinese RICH and at the same time more and more Americans become jobless and poor…. and the same Walmart that forces the mom & pop stores to close. I will not even get into (outsourcing) how many jobs that Americans used to have, but are now sent overseas… DO NOT FALL FOR IT. Not this time.
I agree with her!
Re: TheBeatniksCelebrityGossip.com – shut the hell up already, you are obviously a dumbass and no one wants to listen to your republican-barack-lovin ass. GO HILLARY!
Right on. I agree. Skepteon.com
Hilary should be on Oprah. Big mouth Oprah is always squawking about women in power and how we should all stick together. You think she would want to expose herself and her audience to a very powerful woman no matter what her political views are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She always overtalks all of her guests anyway, maybe Hilary is better off not being on her onesided show.
Uh, Hillary wasn't the first woman to win a primary. Shirley Chisholm won the primary in New Jersey in 1972. And she was also the first black candidate to win a primary. Why does no one know this? Especially with all the "black" vs "woman" debate going on out there. Yeah, New Jersey wasn't as important or impressive as New Hampshire's primary but Hilary wasn't the "FIRST WOMAN candidate for President who has EVER won a primary election, in the history of the United States of America".
Re: costamesaboy –
do they bug you because you're a pencil d*ck or just can't cut it in bed?
I am with her on this one…. Oprah's not allowing the public to see the other side of the coin~
Re: eyes inside… – BARACK IS A DRUG DEALER AND HE IS A MUSLIM AND HE USED TO DEAL WITH SLUM LORDS, IS THAT WHAT CHANGE IS ALL ABOUT?
THANK YOU ROSANNE;
I LOVE YOU FOR TELLING IT LIKE IT IS.IAM SOOO SICK OF OPRAH AND HER HOLLINESS.
SHE NEEDS TO TAKE HER HEAD OUT OF HER ASS.
BRAVO ROSANNE
makes perfect sense. what sort of democrat would praise regan?
she has some valid points
OPRAH IS VERY MUCH A RACIST! I GIVE HER CREDIT FOR SOME OF HER CHARITY WORK, BUT ALL SHE DOES IS SUPPORT BLACK RIGHTS. SHE'S THE MOST EGOTISTICAL WOMAN ON THE PLANET.
I CAN'T WAIT FOR HILARY TO WIN SO SHE CAN EXPOSE OPRAHS LESBIAN ASS.
so oprah should back the woman just because she's a woman? that's backward thinking. she's an idiot
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH ROSEANNE!
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND I AM USUALLY AN OPRAH LOVER.
i remember too when she had John Edwards' wife on and talked about her book, John came on stage, for what i dont know because O was totally rude to him and basically let him say zipppppooooo. She was most likely afraid that Obama would get pissed at her for having him on at all. Big O has changed big time and it is all too obvious!
i have to agree 100% with what she said!
All of you nasty RACIST obama loving mongers need to get outta here. HILL IS HERE TO STAY!
FUCK ROSEANNE BARR! That "Barack Hussein Obama" remark says it all. She can go to hell.
I agree with the fact that Oprah is giving sole attention to Obama, who is muslim - not african american, and none to any other candidates. However, at the same time, it is her right to favor whichever candidate she wants. I do not believe that to be fair though as her show is seen by millions of Americans every day!
Re: John –
Offended much honey? You're making asses of yourselves by bringing up the guy's middle name, saying we should vote for her just because she's a woman, I mean LOOK at your comments. Republicans are having a FIELD day with this.
For the record jackass I am an INDEPENDENT. You're OBVIOUSLY just offended because the truth hurts and the shoe fits. F*CK off!
So it's not okay for Oprah to support a candidate because he is black but she should support Hillary because she is a woman? Right. As a woman, I myself am reluctant to vote for another woman who is relying on her husband's acheivements and stature to get elected. Seems like the antithesis of feminism to me. Also, is Roseanne is obviously a simple bitch to say that any remark that faintly praises a Republican is traitorous. Any student of history, liberal or conservative, could see that Reagan did change the direction of this country once he was elected, but whether it was a good or bad direction depends on your political persuasion.
SHE IS COMPLETELY RIGHT ON THIS ONE
THAT IS RIDICULOUS
I agree!
SHES SPOT ON!!!! I LOVE OPRAH AND IT TOTALLY SUPRISES ME THAT SHE IS NOT GIVING SENATOR CLINTON AIR TIME. I LIKE OBAMA BUT ALL THIS YOUR HUSBAND CRAP IS GETTING PRETTY OLD. WHAT HAPPEN TO THE CHANGE SPEACHES!!!! AT LEAST WE KNOW THAT SENATOR CLINTON CAN HOLD HER OWN!!! PLEASE DO RESEARCH SENATOR CLINTON WAS A CIVIL RIGHTS ACTIVIST IN HER DAY!!! SHE IS NOT RACIST.
It's well said, whats wrong with that, everrynoe is allowed to have their one opinion, if you don't like it…tough shit, have your own.
Re: Sean –
Show YOUR proof!!
Roseanne is right! Oprah is a racist..
Re: JO –
Umm hello jackass. Her HUSBAND is everywhere defending her. Even the Democrats are telling him to chill out and STFU.
Rosie is right. Vote for hillary. Obama is sketchy. A Dem giving Reagan props? Scary. It scares me.
does anyone really listen to her?
It is Oprah's show. She doesn't have to let anybody on it if she doesn't want to.
Roseanne, please sit the fuck down-you HAD a talk show, it sucked ballz.
Why do you think anyone deserves to go on Oprah?? You seem to believe somehow candidates have an entitlement to be broadcast to HER audience. Wrong. Furthermore, I loved you in the 80's-would you kindly go back to them and leave us all alone?
im sorry to say but it is true. Oprah should have had hilary on. she needs to push away her personal issues and remember that she is doing a television show….. US the viewers are the ones who have made her so successful so why is she refusing to allow Hilary on? this is huge people. some peopl dont get how huge it is to have a WOMAN actually having a fighting shot in this election…. Oprah is on such a high horse that she doesnt even associate her self with women any more. she thinks she is better. she acts like a pompus white man but then looks in the mirror and realizes that she is black so she supports the black man….. She needs to wake up. I think the public deserves information from all candidates and from the mass of viewers that she reaches, having all presidential candidates would have been wonderful education for those who normally wouldnt turn on CNN or C-SPAN to see debates… Its time to start thiking about our Country and where we are going ….. we are heading downward fast and then next president is going to need to pull us out of this and fast, if they fail at that. who the hell knows what will happen to this country.
Regardless of my feelings about Roseanne — she's right about everything she's posted on her blog. Barack has yet to talk about anything but "hope". He seems to have not have concrete plan for this country except a lot of smoke and mirrors. I would be interested to hear his plans, but he's avoided discussing them. It's sad to say that Barack is style over substance — all the way. And, I'm sick of Oprah — and not just because of Barack. Between Dr. Phil and Rachel Ray — Oprah has the worst judgement of anyone out there.
Meh, I AGREE. I didn't actually care either way about Roseanne until this, cool,
Hey, get over it, because she's RIGHT ON. She's totally correct that Obama is a traitor to the principles of the Democratic party and he would be a disastrous president. He's a corporate shill and he doesn't give a damn about the needs of the American people. Say on, Roseann!!
Re: New York –
Just because her show bears her name means shit, she still has a moral responsibility to the public to portray things accurately and not to skew things in the minds of people who obviously need her help in order to think for themselves, she knows what kind of power she has over these weak minded, uneducated mid western people and she is exploiting all of you suckers who are buying what she has to sell
Hey Rosie!
-
Maybe we should take a poll from the homeless people sleeping in the streets and shelters and see what they think about how the policians have been doing so far… hmmm? whad'da think? I wonder if they think we should continue with the "business as ususal" candidates?
-
I wonder how long it took for the poor-to-middle-class people to become homeless people?
Go Oprah! This is a black woman who doesn't need the Clintons. But, the Clintons needs her. Fock Hillary!!
Obama supporters are NASTY people. GO HILLARY
She's crazy, but totally rightttt
TEAM HILLARY
Re: Sean – he spent a total of 5 hours on that case; and as an associate in a law firm, do you think he had a choice in his assignment?
Well, I definately have to agree with Roseanne on this one - what harm to let Ms. Clinton go on Oprah's show??? Shame on you Oprah - even though you are a goddess you suck on this one honey….
You tell them, Roseanne. Obama's a Reagan-loving Uncle Tom.
I love watching the Dems collapse
I'm going to agree with Roseanne she's not attacking she is speaking the truth. Back in the day a person wouldn't have flaunted who they were voting for and how much money they were throwing someones way instead a good, reputable talk show host would have allowed both to come on her show and speak out. At least Hillay didn't think she was to good to do the Tyra show and maybe she should go on Ellen thats who people want to see these days anyway.
Go Roseanne…you go girl..you are so right…..go hilary…oprah someone needs to knock you off of your high horse….you are and just a talk show host get over yourself…….go hilary!!!!!!!
Oprah is supposedly anti-feminist because she does not support Hill… give me a break. She is a powerful woman, but she is ALSO a powerful BLACK woman. By Rosanne's logic you could say that if she endorsed Hillary, as most celebrities have, you could then call her a racist for not supporting the FIRST BLACK candidate to EVER win a presidential primary.
What is wrong with speaking well of republicans? They are people and Americans too, even if we disagree on policy. I am ready for a leader who actually brings us together instead of tearing us apart…
And by the way, currently the most powerful woman in American politics since Eleanor Roosevelt is NANCY PELOSI… but thanks for playin…
shes right, oprah needs to stop being a racist fat, ugly bitch, I can't stand her. I don't know about everybody else but I'm getting sick of seeing stupid men in the white house thats the fucking the country up, lets see what a woman can do for once.
