White woman backlash???
Posted by Media Outrage on May 28, 2008
For months now there has been quiet speculation that Oprah’s powerful endorsement for Barack Obama caused a severe backlash. It is a fact that after she publicly announced her support for Obama and went on the campaign trail with him that a lot of her white female viewers expressed their (meaningless) outrage on Oprah.com. Oprah responded to the backlash during a passionate speech in where she opened up for Obama by defending her choice as a woman and a free woman to endorse whoever she wanted to. Hillary Clinton wanted to go on Oprah’s show and she was turned down much to the dismay of the big Krispie Kreme killer Roseanne. But our question is this, if you are supporting one candidate why in the H would you lend your very powerful and influential platform to the opposition???
The NyTimes has written an article analyzing whether her decision to publicly stand by Obama has affected her ratings, and consequentially her brand. Check it out and let us know what you think, because you know we want to know. Click Here.

LMBO & SMH@Krispie Kreme Killer. Ya’ll know I am rolling on that one.
What trips me out is that the media is picking this thing apart. If she had been anybody else and not supporting Obama, then they would not even care. Also these white women who wanted O to support Hillary because she is a woman don’t realize (Hillary speak) they are accusing her of the very same thing they are doing “bigotry” in her support of Sen. Obama. Its like that whole Michigan and Florida thing. Hillary agreed that the votes wouldn’t count worth a hill of beans because of the rules, now she wants to break the rules and make it all count because she is losing. I say let them count, she still won’t win. She is to far behind regardless.
Then add to it the fact that all the Clintonites say that if Hillary doesn’t get the nomination they will either vote for McCain or not vote at all. So you mean to tell me those fools (yes I went there) would rather turn the country back over the the Bushes for another 4 years & risk going up to $10 a gallon in gas because their candidate didn’t win. That is childish and silly. Its like a kid not getting picked in the game and deciding to take his ball and go home. Do these folk not realize the asinine way of thinking they have?? They already doing like some of us have had to do for years and thats go to the food stamp office and apply for stamps. Why make that worse.
Lawd ya’ll gonna make me get on my soap box!!

Hilary might as well get prepared to be the sore loser because OBAMA has this thing in the bag. The truth is we have trusted caucasians to run our country for centuries and as of today May 28th, 2008 we are in a recession although the government has failed to acknowledge it. Well, it is time for a change and OBAMA is that change. Get ovet it Hilary. NIG**AS are running this.

The media will do anything to try and tear this woman down. It just won’t work though. She’s been on top for 20 years just get used to it. But the media is funny how one site picks up a story and then all the other major (white) media outlets start reporting the same thing in a concerted effort to ruin their target. Oprah’s not sweating these folks.

Someone in the democrat party needs to grow a seroius pair of balls and say to Hilary to shut the f up !!!. This woman loves power so much she’s willing to accept a third republican mandate so that she can run again in 2012. But Hilary, who told you Obama won’t run in 2012 Bitch ???

A question that is actually an opinion in fact is not a question at all…
Wake up people this media warfare at its best..
