Whoopi -- Will McCain Go All 1864 On My Ass?

31. Whoopi needs to put it to rest. Slavery will never again exist in our country, the people won't stand for it.

I do empathize and understand how tragic slavery was and how it has affected the descendants of those that were slaves. But I am so very tired of hearing today's african american citizens go on and on and on about how they have suffered. Were you held as a slave? Did you endure the inhumane treatment? Were you the one who actually physically and mentally suffered? No, you weren't. Did I beat you? Mistreat you? Hold you against your will because I said you were my property? No, I didn't, nor would I. These tragic events happened over a hundred years ago. Neither you nor I were there, so how can we authentically go on about it like it was yesterday? Learn from the tragic errors and put what was learned to good use. Don't argue with the bitterness, sarcasm, or with that huge chip on our shoulders. It's over....dont' forget it, but don't relive it every moment of every day when it's not necessary.

(Let the bashing begin.)

33. That was the most ignorant comment. Way to go Whoopi. Would you get over the racist crap already??? I don't remember Obama being shown such disrespect. That stupid question should not have been dignified by an answer from any intelligent person, let alone the potential next president of the United States.

34. whoppi is nuts. we all know she is going to vote black. I wonder what the ratio of black vs. the number of whites who get abortions is? Obama will ruin the country if he gets in.

While I am on here. I have to ask...WHY when we try to view a video, do we get those damn commercials first now? Don't we get bombarded enough with these friggin' ads on tv? Now we have to put up with them online too? Someone should do something about this invasion of privacy. We pay for online, so we shouldn't have to be bothered by these good for nothing ads, some of which are so annoying, they make you want to smash the screen, EITHER of them! Commercials, GO TO HELL!!!
Thanks for letting me vent! These ads are driving me nuts!

35. While "The View" isn't really a *Serious News Show*, the lack of professionalism (especially with Barbara Walters) astounds me! Senator McCain (and his wife) were invited guests to the show. Whoopie continued to mumble comments, roll her eyes, smirk, etc..through the whole interview. Even Joy (who I expected to "act up")..showed some restraint and reverence. Just because you have a difference of opinion or of political beliefs, doesn't give you a right to be condescending, rude, and ignorant. I thought the McCains showed grace, style, and professionalism in the HOSTILE environment they were obviously in. YES--the candidates DESERVE tough and pointed questions so voters can get to know them and make 'educateds' decisions, but when the interviewer(s) come across like brash, know-it-all, FOOLS ~ it does NO ONE any good. SHAME ON WHOOPI AND BARBARA..no wonder I don't make the show part of my daily viewing routine!!

37. Thats reason #2,098,087 of why Democrats will lose the election, again. What a ridiculous question. Liberals have destroyed the Democratic party and there seems to be no end to their insanity. They are so far out of touch with Americans it's pathetic.

38. ((((((((((MIKE #18)))))))))))))) YOU say:

"Hey comment #15 the mailmans at the door you can get out of your section 8 house and go get your welfare check so you can suck on the pipe tonight and keep making excuses, I guess all us white people voting for Obama are wolfs too huh ?? give me a break.. "

You're voting for OBAMA....and???? That comment you just made about me being on 'welfare' just proves my point! Because Im black you automatically assume that is how I live, yet....you are 'voting for Obama'. Yea....you ARE a wolf in sheeps clothing because BEFORE Obama (Black) ran for the democratic nomination, Im willing to bet that is EXACTLY what most white people, like MIKE, felt and STILL feels about Black people now.

So YOU, MIKE, voting for Obama changes NOTHING.

44. "Us white folks will take care of you"

Holy inappropriate old bag Batman!!!

45. Its crazy how Liberal the ABC is. How in the world did they think the drilling by Charles Gibson and today on the View were appropriate??? Has anyone been sohard to pin Obama down on answers. I think Palin has answered more than he has. If they don't put a muzzle on Barbara her reputation will mbe further deteriated. She is an old joke of a hag. Elizabeth and Sherry are the only two with a bit of class. Joy needs to get on Prozac. She seriously has a chemical inbalance. Watch ho she starts shaking if people don't agree with her. She is not even funny.
