A group of Republican women from Florida is boycotting the Oprah Winfrey show.
Their reason?
Because Momma O won’t have Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin on her show until after the elections are over.
Well, Oprah is not going to have ANYONE who’s running for the White House on her show until the elections are over, including Barack Obama.
Oprah did have Obama on her show twice in the past, though that was before he was running for president.
Maybe if Palin was important enough, she would have been on the show before as well!
The vice president for the group organizing the boycott, Cindry Graves, says that that Palin “is an icon, and set her herself up to be such a women’s rights and women’s issues person. To have the first vice president of our lifetime on the Republican ticket being a woman and to sit it out regardless of what her personal political beliefs were was disingenuous, we felt.”
That reasoning doesn’t make any sense.
They’re basically saying Palin should deserve special treatment and get on Oprah because she’s the first female candidate running for VP in the Republican party.
People can easily argue that Obama should go on the show since he’s the first African American candidate to make it this far.
Oprah is just trying to be fair.
In fact, Oprah even said, “I made the decision not to use my show as a platform for any of the candidates. I agree that Sarah Palin would be a fantastic interview, and I would love to have her on after the campaign is over.”
We agree with Oprah. If she said no one running in the election will go on her show now, then she shouldn’t make an exception for Palin.
What do U think?????
