I’m not a big fan of the Oprah show. Why? Likely because I’m a younger aged male who doesn’t have the time to hear Oprah talk mainly about things that are targeted towards middle aged women primarily. Despite that I’m not a Fan, I still do respect the woman, and think she has helped America in quite an influential way. This is why when I heard about a possible Oprah Boycott I was somewhat peed off.
Republican Vice presidential candidate, Governor Sarah Palin was rejected by Oprah an appearance on her show. This has caused quite a stir throughout the female community. The Florida Federation of Republican Women Calls Freedom of Speech into Question because of Oprahs Palin rejection. Frankly I thnik these people need to get a life. Freedom of speech is what allows Oprah to discuss what she wants, and who she wants, not vice versa. These people think they should be running the Oprah show. If they are so upset why don’t they try creating their own television talk show? Ah let me guess…. They don’t have the abilities that Ms. Winfrey does. What do I have to say about that? Tough luck. Oprah has been an American fixture for decades now. She earned the right to talk to whoever the heck she wants. If you girls want to boycott the show, go for it. A boycott will make a fingernail sized dent in her media giant of a show.
Oprah’s response to the boycott fiasco is:
“At the beginning of this campaign, when I decided 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.”
For your information Oprah is a supporter of Obama, yet he has not been on her show, nor has Joe Biden since Obama announced he was running for president back in 2007. If the republican party wants to become a dictatorship, telling us who should and should not be allowed to be interviewed on the Oprah show, then I know who I will be voting for. Let’s boycott the boycotters!
