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

Whoopi Goldberg tried to bait Sen. John McCain into saying something stupid today on "The View" -- by wondering whether he would turn the White House into a plantation.

Awkward, awkward, awkward. As always, that kwazy Barbara Walters saved the awkward day with one of those hilarious race-imperialist quips that just kill.

541. Hi Ron. I think that anyone who says flatly you are a racist if you don't vote for Obama is either an idiot, or thinks you are. On the other hand if you are so blindly following party that you really don't know who is lying and when then they may be accurate in their assumption that you are racist, because you do not even WANT to know the truth about Obama, and if you did you would undoubtedly be voting for him.

I do not belive, for what it's worth, that Obama is a true Democrat either. He knew no one gets elected as an independent, so he had to be on the Dem ticket. I do not care for that party at all. I think Senator Obama, however is extremely bright, and genuinely cares about the people (and I do not mean just the welfare types or minorities). I realize that any politician that supposedly actually cares about anyone but himself is a bizarre notion.

If you would like to really know the facts, the real facts, read information on line, listen to the debates, and watch some station besides FOX and you will get a much clearer picture. Even O'Reilly was surprised over Obama, and has stated on Fox that he has a new respect for the man. If he will say that then you know there must be something worth investigating.

542. Whoopi has elevated herself to a state of unimportance! She showed her "true" colors with her stupid remarks ie. "Does that mean I will be a slave?" when John McCain said he wanted people in his administration who would use the constitution while governing, she just showed her lack of intelligence and respect for our country. That was the most outrageous interview I have ever seen on TV. All of the interviewers should be ashamed! I will NEVER watch that program again. I have started my own personal campaign against "stars" who say stupid things by boycotting their movies and television programs. It gives me great satisfaction to know I can protest silently.

543.

When Obama visited the view the topic was how sexy they found him.

When McCain visited the view the topic was Babs using her white skin to protect the white black folk from slavery.

No further discussion needed.

544. Most of these comments are pretty dumb. They are written as if by a 10 year old who went to public school in Delaware.

545. Walters was a laugh out loud riot. Trying to be all hardball then resorting to such a racist comment at the end. ABC should put that cow out to pasture.

546. McCain wasn't talking about changing the Constitution, just appointing judges who make decisions based upon it. Whoopi, Joy and Barbara are all idiots. They don't like anybody who disagrees with their stupid and ill informed points of view. They are so non partisian it is so obvious they are all voting for Obama. They should have all remained neutral when they had both politicians on, but they kissed Obama's ass and were obnoxious and incredibly rude to McCain and his wife. How could Barbara ask them how many houses they own, as if owning more than one house is a bad thing, when she makes millions of dollars herself each year. What a hypocrate. I hate their show, and I hate the three of them. Sherri is nice but stupid, and Elizabeth is the only one who can think and make decisions for herself. The rest are idiots. Are you going to return us to slavery? Like he would even have the power to do that. She is so dumb. Why did they get her on the show anyway?

547. Whoopi was so out of line! She knew very well that what he was saying in no way had anything to do with slavery!! She just wanted to be as disrespectful to him as she possibly could. And Barbara Walters? She has hit a all time low. Elizabeth is the only one on the View that is worth anything.
Osama Obama and his wife Michelle was treated like royalty and got so much respect. John McCain on the other hand was treated like the bastard at the family reunion.

548. I didn't see them treat Obama that way! Why? Because he is black & they ONLY gang up on white people. I have never seen such racism exhibited so openly before in my 55 years of life. At black guest could get up there & say we should sell America to the Chinese & they would all swoon & clap their hands. At one time I thought Whoopi was the poster child for all non-racial, fair minded people. However, since she has been on the view she has turned into a white hating, poor pitiful me, ghetto, intolerant, RUDE & condenscending HATEFUL person. I am so disappointed in her. The view now has 2 racists, a fence straddler who just goes with the majority & a conservative who gets ganged up on at every turn. I don't always agree with Elizabeth but I don't agree with the way the other girls gang up on her, talk over her & tell her that she is SO wrong. It's all opinions & apparently the only opinion that counts is those of the black view members. I used to watch the show without fail. Since Meredith left I have watched the show exactly 3 times. That was because I loved Whoopi (at that time). I'll never watch it again. No one that I know watches it anymore. They must be getting all their viewers from the racist members of their audience.

549. When will Pro-life people understand that Pro-choice is not Pro-abortion? It is Pro Choice. It is possible to be very adverse to the abortion option but still believe that a woman should have a choice to do what she thinks is right. Why is this simple concept so hard to understand and is contantly misrepresented. I'm sure Obama is proud about bringing down the number of abortions in Chicago because he is not pro-abortion.

Let's be intelligent about this!!

I suppose if Jewish people were still wanting to hold Nuremberg trials and continue to hang German people, regardless of being affiliated with Hitlers NAZI'S or even ALIVE when the Nazi's were running their concentration camps, and using the holocaust as an excuse for all their hardships in life, instead of using it to be strong and independent....your analogy might hold some water, but as it is, it's absurd and overly exaggerated.

Black slaves didn't rise up and over power their white owners and wage a civil war all themselves. WHITE people from the North took on the issue for them., and fought and died..FOR them! My ancestors were part of the Yankee army and DIED in that war. Should I demand some sort of financial retribution from the entire Black community for that loss? I mean...I never KNEW these ancestors who fought and died so bravely for a cause, but if us folks in the 21st century are going to cling onto these times from the past, i suppose i should get something OUT of it, right?

I'm getting sick and tired of trying to watch the NFL on Sunday's and cheer for my favorite team (of which is 80% Blacks) only to hear about some Black player who feels he isn't getting the starting job because of RACISM and not his lack of sufficient enough talent, over the other GUY (who is also Black) but it's racism still, because the guy making the decision is...WHITE! So there ya have it...it's RACISM!

There's probably a thousand more equally retarded examples to share, of just how STUPID this crap is getting....hence the notion we sometimes feel, that people just need to "GET OVER" this crap already.

551. First of all she was right for asking that question. just 40+yrs ago black people had no say so.my my 65 yrs old and she picked cotton from the age 6-18 and graduated from high school & College. All you white people hatin on her learn some black history the White House was designed by a black man. So it's time to paint it BLACK.

You dont rule the World. Africa was First Please Believe.

553. I can't even vote because I am Canadian, but if I could I would 100% vote for Obama....with that said...between the DUMASS comments Trump mad on LKL...that would make me vote for Obama...and the way the View gals ( can't bare any of them anymore btw) spoke to McCain and his wife... I would vote for them...this whole election has lost focus...u might as well bring on Palins Othamologist and see what he/she thinks..........points lost for the VIEW btw...disgusting!

554. Barbara could not even look John McCain in the eye. I saw a clip that showed her gazing in Obama's eyes & laughing at his comments...even telling him that he was sexy. Naturally, since she seems to lean in that direction. Not anywhere fair & balanced were they with Cindy McCain as opposed to Michell Obama. What a joke that these people are.. Just a big bunch of far to the left liberals...except Elizabeth. I do not know how she stands them.

555. Some of you guys' comments are so racist! I thought that in 2008 we would all learn how to embrace one another. John McCain was interviewed accordingly. If some of you guys can do better get your own show. Whoopi was telling the truth! This will be a sad country if John McCain were to win the Presidency.
