Instead of going after Oprah for not having her on her show, the Florida Federation of Republican Women should go after Comedy Central for not reaching out to Sarah Palin as a performer on Last Comic Standing…

We are with you Susie. By the way, we never watch her show anyway….

When / if Oprah has Biden on, she should include Palin – untill she hosts Biden, what's the problem?

Who care really. Do you think Florida that because you boycott Oprah we all over the worl will not watching. I think rep. you are all nuts.

Way to go Oprah!!!! Please stick by your guns. Let those old cows stew in their juices if they don't like it!!

While I'm not a Fla. republican, I challenge all NC republican women to join the boycott.

This not a good news for the women who try to sell Obama

Hillary please stay at Home

Life long democrat and Hillary strong supporter will vote for Mc Cain
Hillary 2012 /Mc Cain/Palin2008

oprah is the reason this country lost its chance for national treasures,the Clintons , Thank You oprah & caroloine ( sad excuse for a) kennedy, for being scared of a strong woman, palin will do now

Did Oprah have Hillary on? I could care less who Oprah has on no cushy interview, Palin you need to go on the view or meet the press. Oprah didnt have biden on. Palin is very dangerous, she is vindictive (ask her her ex brother inlaw) not very stable(how many schools to get a ba?).

Curl up and die you nasty horrible representation of women!

Like I said yesterday…..Obama was on the Oprah showin October of 2006…

BEFORE THE PRIMARY SEASON BEGAN!!!!!

Republicans think you have the last word on everything. If you say don't do it the public should not do it. You can't make people follow the beat to your drum. Oprah don't need your money or your support. Republicans and Evangelicals are not the only people in the world even though you think you are. I thought you guys didn't like black people anyway or is love them or hate them when it is beneficial you you. I will be a permanent subscriber of the magazine from now on.

Who cares if they boycott Oprah. Sarah Palin needs to be interviewed by the Sunday morning talk show hosts. Come on Sarah, you have a mouth on you which just spews insults out at Obama so don't be running scared. People need to know exactly what you stand for !!!

Susie, wake up and smell the coffee, since when is Palin about women's rights? Are you watching the same politician the rest of the world is?

Point one: Oprah can have whoever she wants on her show.
Point two: I agree with Lys–I'd much rather see Mrs. Palin on "Meet the Press".
Point three: I don't think Oprah's going to lose any sleep over losing some viewership in Florida–the boycott may backfire and actully drive up her ratings having this so-called "controversy" in the news.

Wow. The Republicans are just insane. I bet if Oprah offered her an interview spot, the Supreme Managers of Palin would say no way anyway. Nobody knows anything about Palin, and she won't allow interviews. We need to know about her views if we are to trust her as VP. What is she afraid of?! She needs to talk to the regular mainstream press before she goes on the soft talk show circuit. Please note again that Obama was on Oprahs show before he was a nominee, and Oprah has made a judgement about not having candidates on.

All I can say is that the democrats really dealt Hillary a mean death blow. Oprah started the celebrity bandwagon for Obama. She is TOO biased to be able to think objectively.

Now- although they seem to really WANT to- Democrats are not in a posotion to repeat those mistakes with Sarah. They can not criticize pregnant teens (Obama's mama?) or inexperience (Obama?) or faith and family (Obama has pandered to Evangelicals himself).

The democrats divided their party with intra-party vitriol- nasty, vulgar, foul name-calling and insults against Hillary and also against any fellow democrat that dared to vote for some candidate other than Obama. They were sexist and demeaning and brutal in their attacks on women of their own party.

Obama did not want to be overshadowed by the VP- so he did not go with HRC. He was afraid she would outshow him.

SO SARAH HIT EVERY NAIL ON THE HEAD with her speech.

NOW the republicans have stolen the show. The democrats are stuck because of the nasty, bigoted, sexist NEW democrats that Obama has inspired. The democrats have lost the moral high ground for being inclusive and supportive of women and progressive.

The republicans proved to be the TRUE believers in change. It was a stunning turn-about.

susie September 6th, 2008 8:02 pm ET

My friends and I, in Michigan, decided we would boycott Oprah too, She promoted Obama on her show, yet, she pretends she is for women rights. What a hyprocrit
————————————————————————————
Don't you realize that McCain and Palin are both against equal pay rights for women? Both don't support abortion under any circumstances…
Obama supports equal pay rights for women, and he is pro-choice. Obama clearly supports women's rights more than McCain and Palin.

FFRW

Frustrated Females Righteous Wright

"We find it to be an abuse of her power"

LOL What nut jobs! It's her show, she can have whoever she dam well wants!

Does the GOP feel they can force this women on everyone? I am just guessin that the people of Florida can make up their own minds on who to watch and who not to watch.

Oh and also, breaking news…..The Dems nominated a women 20 years ago! The GOP tore her and her family to shreads, so much for family values! Hypocrites, all of them.

Thank you!!!!! I love Oprah and have enjoyed her for many years. But, with her endorsement of Obama and clear favoritism she is abandoning the very principles I once thought she had. I would love to see other boycotts. Her statement and excuses on this matter were utterly offensive and seemed extremely false.

They won't even let her conduct ONE INTERVIEW! They want to PROTECT and hide her from the public. The Obama haters are trying to use every means they can to show unbiased coverage. Believe me, the media is jumping at the chance to even talk to Palin. Face it: McCain CAN NOT get attention on his own as he is boring! He needs Palin to get his message and a crowd.

What a bunch of baseless complainers. She has not had Obama on her show since she announced her support of Obama. I think it is honorable that in spite of her strong feelings about Obama, she has not used her show as an infomercial. I think I will get a subscription to O to pick up the slack.

Why is everyone making a big deal over this? Oprah can have whoever she wants on her show. She already had Obama on there I think more than once, so that's who she is supporting. Why would she put someone who doesn't agree with her politics on her show?

Ohhh please. Get over it. It's Oprah. Who cares? If Republicans really want to be avante guard, send Palin on the Ellen Show, lol.

yes! yes! i agree florida, if that is the way she feels, then why did she stand up for obama to the public ? never cared for her anyway, to she likes herself to much, and throws her power around like a hockey puck. one day she will wake up and stop counting her money because it will be gone. the lord works in mysterious ways when you treat people unfarely ways. cats horses

It is Oprah's show.

Let the Florida group form their own show and work years to make it popular then they can do what they want to do with it.

Oprah has not had Obama, Biden, McCain, or Hillary on her show since this campaign season started… why should Palin be given SPECIAL TREATMENT ?

NO SPECIAL TREATMENT for Palin – she has to play just like everyone else!!!

LIKE————-OPRAH———–REALLY ————–CARE!!!

Danielle wrote: "Umm…last I checked, Oprah can have who she wants on her show. Wow, the nerve of some people, trying to bully Oprah. Sick!!"

You're absolutely right — she can have whomever she wants on her show. And viewers, such as those in Florida, can decide to boycott her for her decisions and her hypocrisy. All is fair.

Oprah does'nt need them !

This group is pushing for Sarah to go on Oprah-what about Meet the Press…you know a show that's about politics? I can see their priorities are right.

Susie- 'So you're saying that Oprah can't support Obama if she is for women's rights? You're stupid. Woman can be informed voters too…not you of course!

It just demonstrates, that Oprah and the Democratic party, cannot accept any person or comment that disagrees or threatens their control agenda.

Oprah needs to understand that after the election, Palin will be busy with her Vice Presidential duties and will have little time or need to be on Oprah's show!

McCain-Palin '08
Hillary Clinton 2012!!!

Why do they want Palin do badly in Oprah's show anyway?
She can have a press conference instead if she wants to!

Oh please, the Republicans are insane! Why are they acting so childish? Is it because they are afraid?

Waht a moot point! The Republican power brokers want to keep her FROM talking to ANYONE who would ask real questions – and being on Oprah is about as real as it can get.

Oprah should INVITE Palin to her show. Americans DESERVE some answers from the very likely next President of the United States.

You Are Welcome To Come On My Television Show! You Probably Wont Because I Would Ask You Some Hard Questions That Would Make You Look Bad! You Probably Could Not Answer Them Anyway Because They Would Be To Scripted!

Methinks Sarah Palin is to the women's movement what Jimmy "JJ" Walker was to the black civil rights movement.

How about all the other million TV shows that Palin is boycotting by not going on? Does think McCain camp think we're dumb? O, I guess they do.

Maybe Palin can start by doing an interview on Sesame Street or The Dog Whisperer?

What do these so-called women think they are? Oprah like any human, woman or man, black or white is an independent thinker like the rest of us. These so-called feminist women movement are mostly RACIST period. Get your show if you want showcase your candidate.

'Stupid is as stupid does' Forrest Gump. The McCain camp said that it would be atleast two weeks before Palin starts giving interviews and FOX is probably at the top of the list so to boycott Oprah when Palin isn't even ready to be INTERVIEWED IS DUMB!! As far as Oprah supporting Obama– FREEDOM OF CHOICE , FREEDOM OF SPEECH. She CHOSE TO SUPPORT OBAMA and Im sure she WONT BE BULLIED INTO SUPPORTING ANOTHER CANDIDATE–ITS HER SHOW–SHE OWNS IT!!!

Oh c'mon!- like Palin was going to give an interview anyway…

Republican Women are too uptight to watch Oprah anyhow.

McCain = Bush
Palin = Nutty Right Wing
McCain + Palin = A Supreme Court that will demolish women's rights, civil rights, Choice & Equality for All.

I have and continue to admire the Republicans. I am now 50 years old, and year after year, as I watch America go down the drain (like Rome and other great empires), these Republicans claim that they are the only ones that hold to the helms of truth. Let us look a few list of things they have offered. They really believe that…

1. they, and only they love America; everyone else just lives in America
2. they can give the 10 commandments, but they are above keeping these commandments;
3. life that begins at conception is more important that life that is lived, or how life ends;
4. high taxes means giving out free money to the poor
5. they, and only they will find the way to HEAVEN
6. they, and only they can protect this nation from invasion
7. they, and only they can give this nation bright and intelligent leaders. Well, let us look at the many that they have and continue to give:
—- Ronald Reagan (a failed actor)
—-Bush I
—-Bush II and Rove
—-Dick Chaney
—-Contract with America (OMG)
—-Sarah Palin
—-John Senile McCain
And look at where the nation is today. Thank you Republicans!!!

Why should Oprah change her shedule for her? When did the woman in Florida find out Palin was going to be the VP? If that was a Dem.VP
how many of them would change their shedule ? I will be giving the O magazine as my Chtristmas gifts this year. All of my frienda will be doing the same.

Umm, Oprah has already released a statement saying charges of her "refusing" to interview her are not true. More LIES coming from Republicans … Florida is just staying the course with the rest of their party.

Palin = Puppet

hate to break it to linda ivell, but this is nowhere near "the greatest political moment in the history of women since suffrage."

the democrats beat the republicans to a female VP nominee by over 20 years. so stuff it.

You women in Florida are so ignorant. Oprah interviewed Obama BEFORE he announced he was running for President. After he announced he was running for President she HAS NOT INTERVIEWED him and said she wouldn't use her show for a platform for any of the candidates. Get your facts straight before you start judging. She is an American and is entitled to vote for whomever she wants, you don't decide. God go read a book or something. Let me guess by how judgemental you are…..you're Christians!!!!!

WWHHHAAA … !!!

Personally I think Oprah should have Sarah Palin as a guest on her show. It would be great for her to also have members of Meet The Press as guest on her show the same day.

Please go away Oprah. Nobody cares about your onesided opinions anyway.

OPRAH IS JUST BEING FAIR IF SHE PLANS TO DO AN INTERVIEW WITH PALIN AFTER THE ELECTIONS!

Sarah Palin is a joke. If the news media would make her anwser some of these accusations like they do Obama we would all see the real Sarah Palin.
1. Left the town she was Mayor of 29 million dollars in debt due to a new arena.
2. Try to use her power in office to get rid of library books.
3. Says she didn't accept any money for the Bridge To Nowhere when she actually was for it and did take money.
4. Fire the commissioner because he wouldn't fire her ex brother-in-law.
Where is the fairness from the media?????

I agree with Oprah. She made it clear that she would not have anyone else on her show until after the elections. She said this before Sarah Palin was selected. Why should she change it just because Palin's a woman. You Republicans want to make up the rules as you go. This the same kind of thinking that got us in all of the different republican messes going on this country now.

Obama/ Biden

Oprah has her own show that she worked for on her own. If she doesn't want that nasty lowdown dirty Osama Bin Palin on the show she doesn't have to.

Oprah a true feminist she will not bend to common Republican pressure tactics , like guantanamo.

That's great. I think it is great that Oprah spoke her conscience for a candidate but at least tries to maintain some journalistic integrity. Palin won't talk to reporters anyway.

Could people please stop writing "Democrat's" and "REpublican's" when they want the plural form? Apostrophes are only for possessives–i.e., the Democrats' candidate, the Republicans' nominee. Sorry, but I teach English, had to say it.

According to IMDB, Barack Obama hasn't appeared on Oprah's show since October 18, 2006, when he was promoting his book The Audacity of Hope.

He has *not* been on the show since announcing his candidacy for president in February 2007. Oprah will not have on Obama, Joe Biden, John McCain, or Sarah Palin before election day.

The notion that this is just about Sarah Palin is ridiculous, and the statement calling this the "greatest political moment in the history of women since suffrage" does Geraldine Ferraro a great disservice.

Republicans sitting it out?? So every time something doesn't go exactly your way, you sit it out? Wow! I've watched Oprah maybe 10 minutes in my entire life. I applaud her for her decision. The show is hers to do with what she wants. It is not a vehicle to promote the Republican agenda, and to trot out this pathetic little inbred village idiot from Alaska.

Those women who have REALLY fought for women's rights are probably thinking about ways they can kick Palin's sorry little butt right now. She represents nothing except Republican pandering and maneuvering. She has done NOTHING to deserve the position she's in. Certainly there must be another Republican woman, who actually has some credentials, who could take the VP slot. Condi Rice? Oh, yeah. She doesn't want the job. She knows disaster about to happen when she sees it.

Well then I guess its time to subscribe to O magazine.. Thanks for giving me a larger perspective of the control Republicans are trying to bully the american people into.. If Gov. Palin wants to be taken seriously then she needs to answer the american peoples questions and explain herself. The McCain campaign stated it wont allow interviews with the media unless it suits THEM well what about suiting the american people who vote! We DEMAND answers from GOV> PAILN!

who cares whole nation watches her show she doesnt need florida

Sarah would only go on Oprah and say the same speech from her note cards. Who wants to hear that!!!

Sexists!
There is more than gender to consider.

Shame on Oprah but not surprising and even informative…
Ovbiously this is part of what could happen if Obama won this year's election. Segragation of Blacks that are "fanatics" and linked to a movement of gangs and outlaws that wish to be recognized under the government for protection

Republicans should be happy. Palin would come across as a Neanderthal on Oprah's show. Her views have been moving out of the mainstream since Noah's wife had them.

My goodness, it seems that many people are having difficulties thinking for themselves. Simply repeating whatever the Obama campaign handlers come out and say. And frankly, Oprah was made wealthy because at-home, middle-aged women found her to be interesting and flocked to buy everything she pushed. Oprah is making a comment by her "categorically untrue" comment. Any thinking individual understands that … ummmm … maybe she thinks everyone is stupid!!!!

Oh silly liberals… You all claim to be so universal and accepting of everyone…"love, peace, harmony" However, it's interesting that you only care about the advancement of different genders and races when they support your views. That's really all it's about. Secretary Rice is too white they say, Palin should be taking care of her kids they say…how stupid do you think we conservatives are? Well, I would say it's time for you all to admit the absolute truth that you really only care about those who share your far left extremist views and could care less about seeing the less represented get ahead.

Oprah,

Don't let them bully you. That's what they're use to doing. They probably don't even watch your show anyway. Anyone who would fall for the same old bag of lies over and over again probably does not watch a show that encourages thought.

Your show should be exactly where it is…out of it.

By the way Republicans account for 90% of the National Debt. The party of fiscal responsibility? And most of it happened under John McCain's watch. WHAT A JOKE!!

Repugs are all talk. Check out the numbers at the Office of Management and Budget for yourself. I know the Dems will. The Repugs are sheep. They don't want to know the truth.

One other thing: I think John McCain has rhumatoid arthritis. He looks like he is in pain every time he moves. I don't think the old man will hold up for 4 years.

Jane, when you get "YOUR SHOW" (The Jane ???? Show) you have gov. Palin on………………………….

The women's suffrage movement would need to reunite if McCain/Palin were elected. These two have less in common with women than any others in the human race much less in the race for president. Aren't Republican women in Florida secessionists, too?

Since y'all will have some spare time then, maybe you could do some communtiy work and organization.

OPRAH MADE HER MONEY WORKING, NOT

STEALING FROM THE US CITIZENS, LIKE

BUSH & MCBUSH. THEY SHOULD BOYCOTT

THE BUSH SIDEKICK THAT HAS LEFT THEM BROKE,

& LOSING THE ONLY ONE HOUSE MOST OWN, WHILE

HE CAN'T DECIDE WHICH OF HIS 7 HOUSES TO LIVE IN.

all people should boycott OPRAH…….. it seem as though she is a BIGOT………oh well there is always DAVID LETTERMAN…JAY LENO RACHAL ..RACHAL SHOW…..AND PERHAPS SOME OF THE NATIONAL BROADCASTS STATION…… TRUE COLORS ARE SHOWN IN THE COLOR OF PURPLE…….. WHAT ABOUT ELLEN? WHO NEEDS OPRAH…….. who needs oprah 1000000 voters for o bama////

I support Obama, but I don't remeber seeing him or McShame on her show. I'm sure she is crying all the way to the bank.

OBAMA '08

who cares if they boycott the show? she is a multimillionaire and if the show is cancelled today, she will hurt for nothing!

Surely you are not suprised by these Florida Republicans. Isn't this how all of them behave–they think they should have anything and everything their way!

If the Republican Party wants free press why they don't call for a press conference with all media without any restrictions, that way Sara Palin can answer all questions not just the ones they want. Forget Oprah let the press to interview her.

the difference between women and blacks is that women 'STAY BITTER'. As a white male, I think Barack is much more deserving than this small town mayor turned governor. Women will eventually show that Geraldine Ferraro was more deserving than this redneck unfit mother who is pretty much abandoning her kids to her husband who knows fish???

If she was ready at day one…. Why are they hiding her?

She's got all that Mouth lets see her back it up….

"Seems like Oprah is just being fair." Is that a joke?

See, this is how the GOP works. Start up some lies, fuel the fire a little, and the next thing you know Florida Republican women, who probably don't watch Oprah anyway are boycotting her show, and it makes the national news, outrage abounds, and on we go. This is how they win elections. It's called smoke and mirrors, and roughly half of us are still stupid enough to fall for it. Then we all lose.

Florida Republicans are hypocrits. Sarah Palin's people are keeping her from the press.

This care tactic is not going to work…

yall are silly!!!!

If the party was strong in their belief in a person they would know a t.v. show appearence would not cause a win or loss.
Just another ploy of control

Puh-leeze women. Get a grip! Oprah already explained that she is not having political guests on the show, even though she has endorsed Obama, but she never had him as a guest after he announced his candidacy. Stop being so petty and sensitive — you are giving all us women a bad name, and there's no need for your boycotts or anything else. Believe me, this woman (Palin) is not home crying about it — she's busy making up more insults, sarcastic, mocking remarks about her opponents, and embellishments about her accomplishments, or lack thereof. I still cannon get over the women of the world, or the self-proclaimed Evangelicals, admiring a women filled with so much bad will, hatred and vitriol toward others, and no problem whatever expressing it. Such hypocrisy — but that certainly seems to be the Republican way, thanks to the McCain campaign managers and staff. I hope all this ugliness comes back to bite them in November and that we, the people, see through it!!!

What really small minded women they are. Why don't we just saw off florida and let it drift out to sea. Won't be missed much. Elections should go smoother as well.

I don't think that its a problem for Oprah, she can have anyone she wants on her show! And if someone on the republican side wants to go on her show, then why not have the REPUBLICAN WHO'S RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, JOHN MCCAIN, i think?!

I doubt Oprah cares. There are plenty of Democrats who would be happy to get a ticket to her show. Actually Oprah should ask Sarah on the show to allow all those "hockey moms" out there to see that Sarah is a big blow hard! I am sure McCain would prefer she stay hidden on the side lines anyway. Why do you think McCain's camp isn't letting Sarah grant interviews?Because she has no clue what is going on in the real world. She has Alaska brain freeze.

LOL IT'S FUNNY THEY ARE FIGHTING FOR HER TO GO ON OPRAH

HOW BOUT SHE JUST GIVE AN INTERVIEW AT ALL AND STOP READING PREPARED TLKING PTS AND GIVING THE SAME LOUSY SPEECH OVER AND OVER!!!

Boycott Oprah?! This coming from GOP is a joke right? Greatest moment? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? How is a VP candidate with a pregnant teenage daughter going to promote "family values"? And before any Republican whining starts, remember, she wants to be treated equally just as Palin had said about Hillary before. AND Palin said yes to the job when McCain asked. Period. I am sick of the Republican system of double standards.

Instead of appearing on Oprah Winfrey's show, when is Sarah Palin going to face a real press corps and answer some real questions about her record and her positions? I don't care if she appears on Ms. Winfrey's show or not, and Ms. Winfrey has said that she won't have any of the candidates on her show until after the election. But when will Sarah Palin answer questions from the media and actual voters? It's been 8 days since she was name McCain's running mate and she's been in seclusion except when she recites zingers that speech writers have written for her.

Oprah introduced Obama on her show and now playing more politics by not having Palin on. The dems are really afraid of Palin based on all that they are doing to create a sexist double standard. She has done more that Obama and presents a real record of reform and accomplishment

Sarah Palin has become the GOP's new mouthpiece. It was a no win situation for Oprah. As the new hope for the Republican any badly answered question during her interview would have been termed as sabotage from Oprah especially since she has openly supported Barrack.

When Palin finally appears and makes a blunder it would be best for it to be on a more neutral venue.

This woman WILL be exposed eventually for the right wing ideologue that she is. it woukd be best for Fox news to interview her first snd soft ball her so she has a chance to bring out her skeletons herself.

Palin=liar.
People, you are so ignorant. It's paliar's people that won't allow her to be interviewed because she is not ready or whatever. My only problem with that is how is she ready to be Vice President or God forbid President is something happens to mcsurge?

The only way a Woman could support Palin in any way is if they consider themselves less-than-equal to Men.

What Century is this again?

This Woman Does Not Even Want To Do Interviews So Dont Make It Seem Like She Is Not Welcome On That Show! Palin Is A Coward For Not Doing Interviews With The Media! Plain And Simple! We Are Suppose To Believe She Is A Pit Bull And A Barracuda But In Reality She Is A Poodle And A Gold Fish!

Is her show, she can interview or support who ever she wants. It is not what freedom of expression is. last I check this still a FREE COUNTRY and people still have rights….. Oh wait McCain and the republicans want to change all that too.

Any one that does not agree with them should burn in hell, they are so self-righteous that their pathetic.

Obama 08
No McCain, no way no how!!!

W E L C O M E——–T O———C H I C A G O——–P O L I T I C S ! ! ! ! !

One other thing there are other platforms, like say uh:

Meet the press
Hardball
Stephanopolous
Lou Dobbs
ABC
Situation room
Good Morning America

Should I keep going, the Presidency ain't pit pat there is a lot that this woman needs to answer. Oh she could go on Springer..and yes bring that daughter that will be real interesting.

making a mountain out of a mole hill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Republicans:a pit bull has become a victim.
Tell Sarah Palin, Jesus Christ was a community organizer and Pontus Pilate was a governor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And who are these women again? Florida republican women? Puleez, why should she care? Besides when this blows over (the election) they will go back to their Beaver Cleaver households, they will be watching her again….

Obama came on Oprah before long before he announced his candidacy and hasn't come on the show since then. Oprah is also not obligated to bring anybody on the show.

"And biggest event since suffrage?? Where the heck was Ferraro in this?

Republicans being pushy as always…trying to change the rules to their advantage.

Oprah you made the right decision. Go Girl!

Ridiculous. Once again, Republicans are pulling out the sexist card.

LOL what whiners. A) Oprah doesn't need you and B) Oprah isn't a journalist. How about having Palin "Meet the Press"

Congratulations to the Florida Republicans!

I agree with them and had already decided to boycott Oprah.

Oprah seems to have forgotten her journalistics roots, and apparently feels only her opinion has any value. Shame on her and shame on the democrats, which until recently I considered myself to be. But their treatment of Hillary was appalling.

I like Sarah Palin and while I may not agree with everything she or McCain stand for. I did find more incommon with them than Barack Obama. So I will be voting for McCain/Palin in November.

Sorry Hillary but Barack should have picked you for VP.

Some people have waaay too much time on their hands. There are far bigger fish to fry in this country than who does an Oprah interview. Geez.

You are in luck Oprah, they are not coming!!!
It would do them well to remember that being an American means that each of us has the right to vote for the candidate of our choice. You vote girl!

LOVE OPRAH! She has given a lot to teachers and women in America and abroad. She is a role model.

Don't let your politics cloud your good judgement.

This is their focus while Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac collapse. Our economy is nearing disasterous levels of the Great Depression and this is the focus issue today.

Grow up. You clowns had your chance. More Karl Rove smoke screens. Yes John McBush you are more of the same.

This is super and I'm glad to have company in no longer supporting Oprah. By not talking to everyone, she is demonstrating her bias.

Who cares if the Republican Women boycott Oprah?? They just want some free publicity for their candidate. Palin is a gimmick for McCain because he couldn't stand Romney or the other front runners. If something happened to McCain does ANYONE really want her to be President? Think about it.

Who said anything about a political platform (other than Oprah)? All the people are asking for is to have Sarah, the first woman VP nominee, on the show. They can discuss moose, ice fishing and snowmobiling. Come on Oprah.

Why would you expect oprah to feature a caucasian female? She is all about the negro-caucasian male candidate and whatever he is married to.
Come on America, wake up and smell the coffee,.

Personally, I think all media should boycott coverage of the McCain-Palin campainge until she comes out of hiding. She doesn't get to cherry pick her venues. The american voters deserve to know who this person is.

McCain is running on Change, but when he gets into the White House, his hands will be tied like Bush. He'll only serve the few, the proud, the LOBBYISTS. Their blood will be screaming for him.

Obama is running on Change. When he gets into the White House, powered by THE PEOPLE. He'll serve the millions that scream for his name.

Between the two of them, who has the less lobbyists, should win!

How do you bring change when you serve only the few, the proud, the LOBBYISTS?

Repulicans are insane.

Palin wont do any interviews with the press.

Oprah hasnt had any politician on her show since the race to the white house began.

before that she had obama and clinton both on discussing their books, it wasnt abt politics.

so get over it.

Republicans cant have it both ways. Such such hypocrites

Seriously? A boycott of Oprah? Focus your energies elsewhere folks! There are so many legitimate causes that could use your support. This is NOT one of them! If I remember correctly, it is the Oprah Winfrey show! Not Good Morning America, Not The Today Show, and Not the evening news! She and her producers can choose their topics and interviews…it is an independant show. So she supports Obama? So what! Look at all of the other wonderful things she also supports…namely bringing the Olympics to The USA in 2016. Besides, you know that you're going to tune into her show anyway…you love Oprah, just like the rest of us!

Like all Obama supporters, Winfrey is just another brainless dweeb. I never watch her show any way!

Country First! Straight Talk! Go McCain/Palin!

rebuplicans love to devide this country.

whiners.

This group of women republicans is ridiculous. Basically what they are implying is that Oprah should sell out her political preference & affiliation (Democrat) just to help Sarah Palin & John McCain get elected. They are attempting to use Oprah's media status for their republican cause and they are upset because she's too smart for that. Now they choose to throw a tantrum in the form of a boycott.

Full speed ahead Oprah, don’t let them influence you – just keep doing it your way.

Oh dear… must women be so irritable? Palin is all over the news. More than her substance deserves, actually. Let the woman rest a bit, and allow her some time to maintain all those … er… values, she talks about. She's gotta shoot some reindeer, too, don't forget.

School yard bullies….every one of them.

Perhaps the Oprah viewers from the other 49 states should boycott the Republicans….

Typical republicans attempting to force Palin on yet someone else.
Oprah released her statement, get over it.
Obama said it all; ENOUGH!

The greatest political moment in women's history since suffrage????Being selected as a Republican woman is surely quite a surprising event, but there was Geraldine Ferraro and there still is Hillary Clinton who received upwards of 18,000,000 votes across 50 states, not just a few hundred as a mayor and approx. 115,000 to become governor.

This certainly is a move forward for Christian soldiers to have a woman represent them since McCain certainly does not. They are hoping for a one-day presidency from him and then…end of days!

Those republicans must not get the news done there. When Oprah endorsed Obama months ago, she said she wouldn't have any of the candidates on her show.

Give us a break. They will not allow Palin to do any REAL national interviews because she is not ready. But they are ready to have her do a fluff piece on Oprah?

Sarah Palin NO COMMENT WATCH….

09 days, 07 hours,
39 minutes, and 28 seconds.

Still no interview.

Still not ready.

Who cares if this group boycotts the lady of all Ladies! It's time to put a stop to this divide between the haters and people who really believe in the American Constitution. This gorup has a right ot boycott if they wish. And for those who don't watch Oprah, that's your right, too. We, and especially myself, could care less if they boycott her. She's an international figure wirh credible credentials. Go ahead, let the Flroida Republicans KNOCK themselves OUT! Mo Power to whatever you're attempting to accomplish……white as snow and dirty as garbage is how you're defined when you distribute hate no matter where you live.
And remember, the pwoer is not of tis world. Praise the Lord!!!!!!!!

"We are deeply disappointed in Ms. Winfrey's decision to sit out the greatest political moment in the history of women since suffrage."

Other than 24 years ago when Ferraro was defeated, and three months ago when Hillary lost. Ahem.

No to Oprah,,,, go Palin…

Jesus-Christ, so even if I don't support Mrs. Palin or someone else for that matter, we have to be forced to have her on the show?? Do people understand that the other guy Barack went on the show more as a celebrity/rare case, than as a campaigner?

Whatever man, whatever this campaign

Who cares?

Why aren't they boycotting the fact that John Mccain has not appeared on the show. Who is Obama running against? I think its safe to say that the Republicans have turned this race from Liberal vs Conservative to women against men. Sarah Palin should be at the top of the ticket, John McCain is the nobody now.

No….Palin / Mccain

Yes….Obama / Biden

It's about time someone took on this Diva – her power and influence go unchecked and needs to be examined for what it is – blatant favortism and frankly racist motivations. If Obama were not Black – she would not have hauled herself on stages and sang his praises while snubbing Clinton and now Palin. How genuine is this? Good for the Republicans -

I thought it was the Democrats who perpetuated victimhood. This Palin woman quite good at it. Bravo.

Susie, oh well then its great to know your supporting Obama/Biden cause mccain certainly doesn't support women's rights. He just recently voted against the bill that would guarantee women equal pay so surely you can't be voting mccain.
Great Oprah! if you had paliar on I would think something was wrong with you. Why can't paliar go on news shows? Oh that's right she's not ready to and she has no experience, but then how is she ready to be VP?

I don't agree with the boycott. Winfrey has thrown her hat into the ring with Obama. She'll campaign for him on her time.
I do disagree with CNN Campbell Brown, who is campaigning for Sen. Obama on the air. I think that's pretty unprofessional. She will not even admit that she was wrong about a Gov.'s role with the National Guard…
Oprah has her show, she can have anyone on it she wishes. I hope she does not say she is fair and above board.

Are the FFRW just stupid or they just can't read. Oprah stated that she wasn't have either of the candidates on her show including Obama/Biden. McPalin don't have any issues to based their campaign on so they make this stuff up as they go. They're trying to divide this country. I wonder though, out that 84,000 jobs that was lost last month how many of those were republican women? I'm serious you guys don't want to go around with Oprah and company.

Republicans would be complaining if Oprah had Palin on her show. Seems like Oprah can't win here. And all of this is because Drudge made a story up.

Oprah isn't having any of the candidates, Pres or VP, on her show…this isn't news. Oprah is not a political issue. Television appearances isn't a political issue. How much longer are we going to be distracted by meaningless empty performances?

So because Oprah won't use the show as a platform for Republican propaganda the Republicans boycott it? Sickening.

I guess Oprah is sexist right Repubs.

What''s wrong with these people. Most if not all them wiho support McCain will not receive a tax dreease. With Obama they will. What are they thinking?

"We are deeply disappointed in Ms. Winfrey's decision to sit out the greatest political moment in the history of women since suffrage."

…Wow, the Republicans find more ways to take a dump on Hillary Clinton's achievements this year.

Republican Ladies of Florida grow up!!

Obama has to beg Oprah. I dont see Palin begging Oprah.

I'm sure they're boycott won't impact the bottom line in the slightest.

And really, who cares about Oprah?

Last I checked Oprah was worth a Billion. Does it really matter?

Seriously, I agree with the comments above about Ferraro. Maybe they SHOULD watch less tv, and read more.

How is this helping the economy/war on terror/energy/the environment again?

The Florida Republicans need to get over it and find a more important thing to get upset about. Ms. Winfrey can choose who she wants on her show. She made the decision to support Mr. Obama and therefore made a pledge not to have ANYONE political on her show as a pledge of neutrality.

It amazes me how the Republicans have a Sarah Palin, who has been a governor for less than 2 years and by the way CAN NOT GO OUT BY HERSELF to CAMPAIGN because she has used her power in office and have told so many LIES can even call themselves boycotting Oprah, go ahead, she does care because OBAMA is going to WIN!!!

I love how the libs are trying anything to spin how their Obamessiah can't seem to keep a substantive lead. Face it, all you lefties thought this was going to be a cake-walk. All you though you needed to do was squawk that McCain was just another Bush. But as openminded thinkers, unlike yourselves, have listened to what McCain and Palin are saying they are finding that change does not necessarily just mean switching to a different party.

She should have NEVER divided her viewers… Huge mistake that will come back to haunt her!!!

Come on Oprah, show everyone who has the biggest pair in this country. Bring her on.

Clinon/Winfrey 2012

Oh, come on!! Since she endorsed Obama and made public appearances for him, her show has been completely neutral to politics and is not being used to highlight ANY candidate. It is only appropriate for her to wait until after the election to have ANY of the candidates on her show. THAT'S integrity!

I never watch her show anyway and I live in IL.

Wasn't the McCain campaign hiding Palin from the press? Why do they even care then?

Since suffrage?

Do Republicans realize that the Democrats nominated a woman VP several decades ago?

The only reason why Oprah helped Obama was because Obama was HAVING major problems ATTRACTING crowds. So she helped me but I truly believe that she wanted to distance herself from politic.

Oprah does not have to have Beauty Kween/Reporter-Shy Media-But Ready For Prez on her show.

Why? Palin does NOT have problems attracting crowds. Palin has not YET changed America. Oprah does not have to put her on her show.

Go ahead and boycott Oprah!

Sorry to say but I would invite her either. Go google Sarah Palin and see what she calls HRC and then tell me you would invite her too.

well this is too bad for the florida republican women. when will people stop taking themselves so seriously?

what is the big deal about the oparh show…why not ask ellen D, to have her on the show.

Who cares what Oprah thinks. She has gotten way too big for her britches and now she thinks she has influence or something. NOT!!!

Folks, google Anne Kilkenny and read what she has written about Sarah Palin. Finally, the truth.

Sarah almost had me at the convention, but like McCain, she too is a puppet.

Who chose her as his VP? How could he have chosen her himself after only meeting her one time? What type of judgement is that?

She will be our president, because McCain is obviously ailing in health if he is elected.

THINK THINK THINK THINK PLEASE

If Sarah Palin wants to be president she and her supporters need to stop whining already. Oprah isn't having any of the candidates on her show. Oprah has a right to support whoever she wants anyway. Seems to me that Palin is just Dick Cheney in a skirt. Cynical, condescending, insulting, and in bed with the oil companies. I guess that's what we like in this country. Put her in power and this country deserves what it gets.

Oh my, how absurd. She hasn't even been interviewed by the press yet, and they're mooning over Oprah.

Oprah does not need Sarah Palin, they are mad becsue she supports Obama.

Absolutely pathetic, now it is more apparent to me that Republicans hold in contempt anyone who they can't control. If you fall in line with what they want then you're cool if not you should rue the day. Too late idiots you already made her a billionaire and if think you can pressure ABC..too late again she has her own network. Thanks again!!!!!!

Obama\Biden 08

who the heck cares!

Great Job Oprah! Don't let that hypocritical, lying pit bull on your show. Great to see you standing up to the repuglicans. Question – why is it that palin trashed Obama in front of national tv yet he called names when he responds back? Also why did palin say, and i quote " So the sambo beat the bixxxch…" after the dnc primaries, referring to Obama beating Clinton? Also if palin is not prepared to campaign solo as her campaign has said then how is she ready to be VP? And how is john mcsurge the agent of change as he and his vp candidate are claiming yet he has not changed one thing in the senate in 25 yrs?

Another example of old white women ganging up on a successful black woman. It is time for something new America.

Obama/Biden '08

As long a Oprah isn't having any of the candidates on her show until after the election, then there is nothing wrong with her not having Palin on the show as a guest. In fact, it would be reverse discrimination if she had Palin on but none of the male candidates.

Woman or no woman, Oprah said no candidates on the show until after the election so fair is fair. She is entitled to her opinion on who she wants to support personally but I think that it is very professional of her to not use the show to support or degrade a candidate.

"We are deeply disappointed in Ms. Winfrey's decision to sit out the greatest political moment in the history of women since suffrage."

Palin isn't the first woman to run for VP on a major ticket…

are you crazy, this is Oprah Show and she can do what she wants with her show.

FL stop your whinning……

Republican Platform:

Nothing = Something
Something = No Comment

"We are deeply disappointed in Ms. Winfrey's decision to sit out the greatest political moment in the history of women since suffrage."

Or at least, since twenty years ago when the Democrats became the first to nominate a woman for the office of Vice President.

Umm…last I checked, Oprah can have who she wants on her show. Wow, the nerve of some people, trying to bully Oprah. Sick!!

PLEASE, HOW MUCH IS OPRAH WORTH AGAIN? SHE DOES NOT NEED YOUR MONEY

Give me a break. It wasn't even Oprah's choice, Florida!

Or haven't you noticed – the McCain camp has clearly stated that Palin will be giving NO INTERVIEWS (at least until they have fully trained her in McCain-speak).

It doesn't matter that Oprah supports Obama – they will NOT LET HER be interviewed by anyone.

Afraid, much??

pleased to know, do not blame them one bit.

seems like Oprah is just being fair.

My friends and I, in Michigan, decided we would boycott Oprah too, She promoted Obama on her show, yet, she pretends she is for women rights. What a hyprocrit.

Why do they need Oprah? How about Ms. Barracuda doing Meet the Press. We already know what kind of mom she is, we want to know what kind of leader she may be.

"the greatest political moment in the history of women since suffrage"

I'm sure Geraldine Ferraro was thrilled to hear these words…

Republicans must really think voters are stupid!

I never watch her anyway. It was always all about Oprah.
