Roseanne's New Tirade Against Oprah And Obama

Roseanne has again taken to her personal blog to eviscerate Oprah and Barack Obama. Two weeks ago she wrote Obama is a supporter of "corporate racist anti worker bullshit" and Oprah Winfrey, "plays the race card and the gender card."
This time Roseanne furious at Oprah for not having Hillary on her show:

Hilary deserves to have been able to address the huge female demographic that Oprah's billions came from. How very disgusting, and how very very telling!! Maybe if Hilary was discussing her fat thighs Oprah would have had her on.

The whole entry, caps and all, is here:

oprah winfrey has refused to do a show with the FIRST WOMAN candidate for President who has EVER won a primary election, in the history of the United States of America. I saw Hilary on the ridiculous tyra banks' show, and fumed. Hilary deserves to have been able to address the huge female demographic that Oprah's billions came from. How very disgusting, and how very very telling!! Maybe if Hilary was discussing her fat thighs Oprah would have had her on. Oprah doesn't really seem to respect the intelligence of her audience at all. Obama slaps the faces of his supporters with his traitorous praise of ronald reagan, the man who singlehandedly destroyed the working people, the economy, and the mental health safety net in this country, and told inner city kids that ketchup was a vegetable. I pray for the speedy failure of his divisive anti-feminist campaign. Oprah COULD HAVE delivered her viewers an audience with the most powerful and successful woman in American politics since Eleanor Roosevelt, and the only democratic candidate who has a prayer of winning this election at the most crucial time there has ever been in this country. I believe its she and David Geffen's plan to elect fellow billionaire Romney. This country's not going to elect a democrat who speaks well of republicans and reagan, like Barack Hussein Obama does. Wake Up! Diss-ing women's century-old fight for political representation of their voice makes me SICK!!!

Hillary did appear on Tyra Banks' show last week, where she discussed, among other things, getting over adultery.

What's wrong with Roseanne's opinion? We have to listen to Oprah's--she supports Obama...by the way, when is she going to have John Edwards on? Hey, remember Lenny Bruce. The comedians in this country have a right to be political, funny, and insult whoever they want--just not me or my people.

Roseanne's last few tirades?

"Where's my fried chicken?"
(lasted 7 hours, 23 minutes)

"Where's my smokes?"
(lasted 3 hours, 21 minutes)

"Where's my staff of 127?"
(lasted 9 years, 11 months, and counting)

Thats RoseAnn...you have to love her or hate her...but she pulls no punches.
I don't like the way she says it..but she has a good point.
Oprah went to far...and many of her fans responded by saying just that.
The whole Oprah on the campaign trail fell flat.
I did see the Tyra Banks show with Ms. Clinton..I liked it.
Thought it was very respectful and enlightening.
Also saw Tyras show with Mr. Obama...enjoyed that also.
I believe the more insight we gain on these two front runners...the better it will serve us on election day...and its not only what is being said...it is body language, etc, also.
This might well be the most important time in our history since the signing of the Declaration of Independence from England.
Mr. Bush has sold off most of our Country...we need to get it back...and it going to take someone with big cajones to do this..If this means Hillary with Bills backup...so be it. V.

Who CARES what Oprah OR Roseanne have to say about politics? They aren't going into the voting booth with you. This kind of silliness destracts us from paying attention to the canidates and the real issues.

Why would anyone care about Roseanne's opinion anyway, or Oprah's?

I am not a particular fan of Roseanne but she has some very valid points.

Roseanne doesn't need to come up with reasons that she dislikes Oprah or Obama, it begins and ends with their skin color. When one looks at the absence of non-whites in today's cable TV line-up, one finds that it mirrors the poll driven popularity contest agreed on by a predominately white demographic.

While on the surface whites may speak of 'not responding to color' it is clear that it often takes very little for the 'true' and 'actual' latent racism to surface. And, if often surfaces in the guise of a response to what some whites say is something that blacks did, to make them do what they do.

Holy shiiiiitt!!! Roseanne's got her groove on! I LOVE what she says and how she says it! It's in your face and there ain't no mincing words about it. She' not asking for your opinion and she sure is telling you how it is. Unless you can find a factual error in her statements, it looks like HRC's in big heap trouble w/Rosie!

I always admired Roseanne but she has lost my respect. It is clear she is a racist. I am so sick of all this 'race' talk. These are all human beings running for President. Why isn't it ok for Oprah to support Obama? She is from Chicago just as he is. I am left of center and will never vote for Hillary. I will vote for a Republican and against her if she gets the nomination. Hillary may be smart but she is as arrogant as Bush. She is a centrist and you have to wonder why all the Republicans seem to love her so much? She has used her husband to get her elected. Yet I clearly remember her cold shoulder to him after Monica-gate. She is shrewd and calculating. She is all about Hillary! I want my President to be about this country and the people who live here.
Hillary is a raging bull when she doesn't get her way. If she is elected she will manage this country just as she did her health care fiasco. If you think Bush is scary ready yourselves for Hillary. Ask yourself - will Al Gore vote for Hillary Clinton????
If she loses I am sure will blame Bill.

Trying to figure out if Roseanne's show, in syndication and shown on Oprah's Oxygen Network is about to be cancelled or what? Though she makes a valid point about Reagan being against the working man during his sainted presidency, the rest of her remarks seem a leeeeettle excessive. Roseanne, you need to be having a talk with your therapist about adjusting your meds. Ophrah is entitled to back whomever she wants, just as you are.

Forget the tirade from the Barr woman. Here is something else to think about: How do Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama's positions differ when it comes to unquestioning military and financial support of Israel? They are exactly the same. Any one who thinks enough to question the U.S.-Zionist Axis policy is immediately called a Nazi for bringing it up. Does it ever occur to these movers and shakers that supplying more weapons only compromises national security more? Of course not. Money is the true God of their Universe.
Alas for Roseanne, apparently she does not have the amount of green stuff she use to. Here is a brainstorm: Ms. Barr announces after agonizing therapy sessions, that she was molested by the Obama family when she was a tiny child!

The comedienne is despicable.

Wow, this democratic primary race is bringing out the best and worst in this country. Roesanne, like many Americans, are demonstrating their racism and sexism as a result. Whether for or against Obama, I don't see how anyone with class can support Roseanne's gibberish. Further, I can't believe people on this website are searching for justification within ignorance. You should be ashamed.

Methinks me smells racism in the personage of Roseanne Barr. Check out your inner bigot Roesanne, you're way over the top.

Roseanne needs to go to a school of manners and to a regular school to develop her thinking skills. She reflects her favorite team: Sleek Willy and Hillary. Shameless and liars like Bush!
Oprah has stepped up because she BELIEVES.
No to BUSH-CLINTON-BUSH-CLINTON-BUSH-CLINTON.
Maybe Chelsea will be different when she campains. Unless she unherits her father's art of lying and cheating.OOOOps I meant her parent's !
