Oprah Update - The Boycott
Want to know the difference between liberals and conservatives when they are upset about about a company? Liberals try to get someone fired or they sue… conservatives boycott.
And that is exactly what is happening to Oprah over refusal to have Governor Palin on her show before the election. The Florida Federation of Republican Women has launched of boycott of the Oprah Show and O Magazine which has been reportedly joined by independents and democrats from most of the country.
Democrat Barack Obama — whom Winfrey is supporting for president — was on “Oprah” twice before he announced his run for president, in January 2005 and in October 2006. Winfrey has said she will have neither party’s candidates on her show while they are running for their respective offices.
But the 58-year-old federation, which has 4,500 members, says Winfrey should have Palin on her show now, given how important the Alaska governor’s run is for women.
“She 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,” the group’s First Vice President Cindy Graves told “FOX & Friends” on Wednesday morning.
Graves, 50, says she used to watch “Oprah” and occasionally bought her magazine. She told FOXNews.com that the group has been joined by women all over the country since launching the boycott last Saturday.
“People from Southern California, Tennessee, Texas, Colorado, Rhode Island, just about every state in the union. We’ve also had a tremendous response from Democrats and Independents who are supporting McCain, and Hillary supporters,” she said.
Keep up the good work ladies. I never watched the show to begin with so my personal boycott won’t help. But you have our support and thanks for continuing to shine a light on this and hopefully sending a message to the liberal elite.
