Freeper sitting by my partner on the plane last night loves Oprah.

[karlrschneider]

A buzz-cut middle-aged Bush lover - VietNam vet (and a hero to boot by the way he told it) explained why he loves
Oprah...because she has "split" the Democratic party with her support for Obama thus insuring a Republican win in
08.

I'm not at all sure he is wrong.

[1620rock]

1. Most people who brag about being a "hero" in Vietnam weren't there.

[tom_paine]

7. Exactly. That guy probably was 4-F due to hairy anal cyst.

or maybe he shit his pants for a week like Ted Nugent before his draft physical.

Bushies are liars, quite often. Not just because their Bushie Masters have programmed them to be so gullible and accepting of lies (so long as it's Bushie Comrades who tell them) but because a certain kind of "ten punds of shit in a five pound bag" person is attracted to authoritarian evil like Bushies and Nazis.

He may have been telling the truth, anything is possible, but if I know my Bushie-Nazis, the odds of that are about 10-1 AGAINST.

[TahitiNut]

19. Sadly, that's often true.

It's amazing (and painful) that the impression so many have of Viet Nam veterans is based far too much on the claims of faux "vets." There are actually fewer than 700,000 of us left alive ... but, at the rate many "meet" one of us, you'd think we number around 4,000,000. That SHOULD be a clue.
:eyes:

2. I think he may be right.

The top 2 have been too
busy attacking each other
since her endorsement to
even focus on the issues.
You would think that being
a corporate entity, (Harpo)
that Oprah would be a conservative.
It does make one wonder.

[a kennedy]

6. but then........Dennis Kucinich can win!!!

:bounce: :woohoo: :applause: :patriot:

[Stephanie]

3. Illogical. How does that ensure a Republican win?

We will only have ONE candidate in November. How could it possibly be split? Ridiculous.

[Dorian Gray]

12. Exactly

It doesn't matter if the party is split now during primaries. That's what they are for.... to argue out who would be best to lead the party in the election vs. the repubs.

[MGKrebs]

20. Because the top two candidates destroy each other and we end up

with Dukakis. Er, I mean Kerry. Er, I mean the anti-business John Edwards.

[Stephanie]

24. Edwards does best against all likely Republican candidates in polls.

So that's not a valid point.

[MGKrebs]

28. Too bad the election isn't tomorrow.

[pretzel4gore]

4. he wants 4 more years of repukes?

the fool and his money have already been easily parted- what does he want to lose next?
(honestly, we should give the goon squad what it wants, just to see the look on their faces when reality inflicts itself)

[Red Zelda]

5. Never talk to these people on planes

either steal their wallets or report them as potential terrorists to the air marshal.
Or both.

[kurth]

8. Oprah defends Iraq war:

BILL MOYERS: EVEN OPRAH GOT IN ON THE ACT, FEATURING IN OCTOBER 2002 NEW YORK TIMES REPORTER JUDITH MILLER.

JUDITH MILLER: (OPRAH 10/9/02) The US intelligence community believes that Saddam Hussein has deadly stocks of anthrax, of botulinum toxin, which is one of the most virulent poisons known to man.

BILL MOYERS: LIBERAL HAWK KENNETH POLLAK.

KENNETH POLLAK: And what we know for a fact from a number of defectors who've come out of Iraq over the years is that Saddam Hussein is absolutely determined to acquire nuclear weapons and is building them as fast as he can.

BILL MOYERS: AND THE RIGHT HAND MAN TO AHMED CHALABI.

OPRAH: And so do the Iraqi people want the American people to liberate them?

QUANBAR: Absolutely. In 1991 the Iraqi people were....

WOMAN: I hope it doesn't offend you...

BILL MOYERS: WHEN ONE GUEST DARED TO EXPRESS DOUBT OPRAH WOULD HAVE NONE OF IT

WOMAN: I just don't know what to believe with the media and..

OPRAH: Oh, we're not trying to propaganda-- show you propaganda. ..We're just showing you what is.

9. A simplistic theory by a simplistic Bushie

Illogical on many levels but I guess he is finding solace wherever he can given the disarray of his own party. Can they absorb a non-corporate Huckster? A cross dressing Julie Ghouliani? A Mormon Mitt? at the end of the day and all rally behind THEIR eventual candidate? Doubtful.

[Gman]

10. Fortunately...

that's not how it works. But far be it from me to correct a freeper's delusions.

[Occam Bandage]

11. That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

"Republicans will win because the Democrats have not yet decided on a candidate!"

Meanwhile, the Republicans still have absolutely no clue who it'll be.

[Lex]

13. He's wrong.

He's just trying to fantasize how a Repuke can win in 08 after Bush/Cheney's reign of misery.

It's not going to happen.

[yardwork]

14. All the Vietnam vets I've met in airports loathe Bush.

I have not yet talked with a Vietnam veteran who has any respect whatsoever for Bush. I'm sure they're out there, but they are relatively few.

[melody]

16. My Viet Nam vet husband despises Bush and all modern GOP n/t

[yardwork]

18. That's what I have seen, too. Most Vietnam vets thought the Iraq war was a mistake.

The ones I spoke with were against it from the very beginning. Only chickenhawks supported it.

[Libby2]

27. Mine too.

[melody]

15. Grasping at straws

His argument doesn't even make sense. The party is supposed to be "split" in the primaries. I thought last month
the freeps were bleating that having Hillary get the nomination would "cinch" their win.

[yardwork]

17. They're consistent in only one respect - always morans.

[Lex]

23. LOL!

:hi:

[Toots]

21. How stupid is that?

The Democrats are split before the Primaries just as the Republicans are but once a candidate is selected you can bet your bottom dollar Oprah will back the Democrat over the Republican as will every other Democrat and most Independents. This "Hero" clearly has no concept of how politics is decided in America..

[Lex]

22. Sounds like the freep doesn't understand the primaries vs. the general?

typical dumbass freep

[Vanje]

25. A "buzz-cut middle-aged Bush lover"

At present,persons who , view Bush favorably,are in a very small percentage of the population. These consist of Bush's immediate family, Condeleeza Rice, and a scattering of village idiots and babbling gesticulating nuts.

I would not put much credence in this buzz-cut individuals political acumen.

[spanone]

26. oprah split the democratic party? Bwahahahahahaaaa that's really funny.

[GoldenOldie]

29. Oprah split the Democratic Party vs CON's doing the Lockstep(Goose step)

It is amazing that the CON followers never question "Why???," none of their politico reps ever, ever, ever, have a different opinion or script from one another. They seem to have mindless robots who have been fed each days action tapes and move their lips in sync. They never, ever disagree with one another???? Why? They all come from the varied States with various State requirements and from various religious, educational, social backgrounds, yet, they all think and act alike????

I am OLD yet I still remember the open and honest fights and full-Committee hearings in the House, even among st the individual party members. These clowns don't need to have residences or offices in DC, they can just e-mail or even input the original Robot data tape for the official House records.......Now this would really save taxpayer funds!
