PETA Gives Whoopi a Whuppin'!

31. the KKK is from the south and is their behaviour acceptable? no it is not! lets not forget this was NOT some lil dog fight, they dug up 52 murdered dogs out of his yard!

32. Having lived in the South I can say for sure that Whoopi's comments are really far off base. In the 20+ years I lived in the deep South I never once saw anyone abuse an animal or make dogs fight. That is just absurd. It is NOT part of the culture. And I highly doubt that Michael Vick's neighbors in the really ritzy parts of town enjoyed hearing that their neighbor had pitbulls which he was intending to fight or kill. Thus, the outrage...

33. Hello this America!!! We have a right to freedom of speech!!! We also have a right to our own opinion, right or wrong! I don't agree with her, but I respect her right to have that opinion!!!

35. Stay tuned - upcoming on Star Jones: Oprah, Whoopi, Michael Vick, Jamie Foxx, etc. a roundtable discussion. Good Lord. Why my TV is turned on only a few hours in the evening. I needed a distraction which is why TMZ is great. Mental respite from the boring, horrible job. I like to see what "other" bizarre crap is going on in the world. I am never disappointed.

36. Whoopi's comment about dog fighting being a "southern thing" is ridiculous. As a southerner, never have I heard such a load of crap...this coming from a Yankee no less! Whoopi needs to stick to factual information and do some research before spouting her mouth.

#10 - Listanna: Gee, I hope you're not a pet owner. I see you didn't waste time on an education and master the English language. Try spell check sometime.....but then you'd need to actually know how to spell to use spell check wouldn't you? Hmm, quite the dilemma you have there.....

37. LMAO at Barbar Walters. She deserves this. The View has gone downhill since Rosie left. It's unwatchable now.

38. You people need to get a grip! No, really. Whoopi simply gave her view (It is "The View" right??) or rather her opinion on why Vick made the decisions that he did. The second she provides a logical explanation, then people are so quick to say, "She's defending Vick; She doesn't know anything about the South; She hates the dogs!" People get a grip. Psychologists offer the same insight into trouble people's lives all day and everyday. Whoopi's not racist! Afterall she's dated interacially and her daughter is biracial. I am convinced that 97% of the TMZ people who post these comments are ignorant.

39. My career and reputation are crumbling faster than I can say retirement.

40. # 15 - I agree with you ... makes sense to them, and that's why they do it. But regardless they (Vick and camp) knew it was wrong ! So what Whoopie is saying, that in the south, it's common to break the law, and be a criminal, and abuse animals, and I'm sure people as well, and not to mention, she did not make the people in the South look too good. But hey at least we all now know what Whoopie was doing as a young child, and teenager, and possibley adult.

41. THE CHINESE EAT CATS SO WHY CAN'T SOUTHERNERS TORTURE DOGS???!!!

42. Why does this surprise anyone? She's a racist, plain & simple. She defended a guy on death row who killed a cop, in cold blood, all because he's black. I lost all respect for her at that moment. I don't buy any products she endorses or is in any way tied to.

When it was announced she was joining the show, they lost me as a viewer. And after this, I definitely won't come back until she's out of there for good.

43. Shame on you Whoopie! I was born and raised in the south and dog fighting was unheard of. It was no more prevalent than in any Northern City. You disappoint me! Really! I would also like for any of you who defend Vick and his "pack" to do your homework. Check out his history at VPI when he was the football star. It wasn't pretty. Oh! One last thing! If they wanted to dispose of "unsatisfactory performing" dogs why was it necessary to torture them to death? Why not just shoot them between the eyes? At least it was instant relief for the poor animals.
Shame on you Whoopie! Vick is a fool, always was and always will be. Now you are too!
