Roseanne Barr's Wild Tirade Against Obama, Oprah

Roseanne Barr has published a profane rant on her website attacking Barack (misspelled "Barak") Obama as a supporter of "corporate racist anti worker bullshit." Barr also tears into Oprah Winfrey, who allegedly "plays the race card and the gender card" and is a "closeted republican."

Read an excerpt:

barak obama is an empty suit selling "hope" in lieu of Truth. Oprah Winfrey helped to elect Arnold Swartzenegger. I have no doubt that she voted her purse by doing this, as she is a large land owner in California, and that ilk fears Dems because they do not want to pay their "fair share" of Cali tax. Oprah has given us Swartzenegger and Dr. Phil. If that was not offensive enough to decent thinking people, now she brings us Obama. He has no ideas, no plan and nothing to add other than the cynical pacification of the masses with bedtime stories about hope, while calling Unions "special interest groups" that need to be done away with.

Obama votes with Bush constantly funding this terrible endless war.

Oprah, you play the race card and the gender card too.

You are a closeted republican and chose Barak Obama because you do not like other women who actually stand for something to working American Women besides glamour, angels, hollywood and dieting!

When Americans find out that Obama backs right wing corporate racist anti worker bullshit, they will not vote for him, and the victory will go to the most racist right wing republican ever.... Mccain, who is a fascist!

For what it's worth, Barr praises Hillary Clinton as a "seasoned woman politician with 35 years of experience" and John Edwards as "pro union."

Can't you Democrats see how divided the Democratic party has become because of the Clintons? They are going to tear this country apart. This is so sad. The Clintons relationship with African Americans will severely be damaged.

Who is the woman, whos main character was making fun of Tacky America. This woman is a closet racist from Utah. She does like white people. And get serious, she is not a Democrat.

Come on people! You know there are many people who don't like Oprah but just won't admit it. And what is wrong with Roseanne stating her opinion? She has some valid points here but I wish she would use her time stumping for John Edwards who like her stand up for the middle class/ working folk and unions, and some of the things she believes in.
What is the difference in her so called rants and Chris Matthews constantly bashing Hillary Clinton and making false statments? Not to mention Fox News and their lies.
How can the media not question Obama on his "hope and change " message. It would be great if we knew exactly what his policies are.
A vote for Obama is a step closer for another Republican to take the White House again. Are you ready for that?
I would like to quote Cher when Reagan won the president's race.

Did she post some MP3s of her uncontrollable flatulence, too?

Oop.. that should have been Rosie O'Donnell.

[AnotherIADem]

Can we get Rosie O'Donald to endorse Hillary too? Oh Please, Oh Please, Oh pretty pretty please?

Obama08!

I'm still amazed at the racist views and comments of those people in my own party. I hope Barack can build a bridge between the races.

This is actually a beneficial exercise that allows candidates to explain their positions. The attacks will only get more vicious in the general election. Especially when the big money "Swift Boat" crowd starts playing. She has some valid points and should not be ingnored.

Roseanne's recent post on her rant:

oh my God!
I am so sorry for sounding like I don't like Oprah or Obama. I do. Oprah has been a force for good for a long time, and I just got carried away with my preference for Hilary over Obama. I think she is smarter and better than he is, but either of them is better than any Republican, and will get my vote no matter who ends up on top. I got upset because I felt Oprah was adding to the divisiveness in this country. I am sorry Oprah, I really do admire and love you for all the good you do and have done in this country and the world at large. I am just so worried about another Republican getting in, my stomache hurts and I can't sleep, and I go over the top sometimes!

Wouldn't it be sad if the best America could do after George Bush was trade Roseanne Barr for Rush Limbaugh?
Obama in '08.

She might be taken seriously if she knew how to spell Schwarzenegger. He is labeled in her rant. I hate to be petty that way but she seems to run her mouth off quite a bit. You should probably know how to spell your own governors name. Especially if you are angry with the guy and have beef with him about how he is running things.
