RSSRadical Feministas Upset With Oprah
J.J. Jackson* | January 24, 2008
Leftists seem to get very upset when you don’t pander to their particular group. Take for example how some women are upset because Oprah dared to endorse a black man for president over a fellow woman:
AMERICA’S favourite television presenter is paying a painful price for her intervention in the US presidential campaign last month. Oprah Winfrey has been dubbed a “traitor” by some of her female fans for supporting Barack Obama instead of Hillary Clinton.Winfrey’s website, Oprah.com, has been flooded with a barrage of abuse since the queen of daytime chat shows joined Obama on a tour of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina in mid-December.
Her intervention was widely credited with broadening Obama’s national appeal - especially among women - and with helping him to an upset victory over Clinton in the first vote of the election year in Iowa.
Yet a backlash by Clinton supporters appears to have prompted a rethink by Winfrey, the African-American media titan who is routinely described as the most influential woman on television.
She did not reappear in the final days before the New Hampshire primary - which Obama lost to Clinton - and has been absent from the most recent campaigning in South Carolina, which votes next weekend.
These people are so shallow that they can’t even deal with someone that acts outside of their own “group”. I guess being a “black” “woman” Oprah is between a rock and a hard place on this one. She can either be loyal to her race or her gender but not both (unless we get an Obama/Hillary ticket out of the Democratic Party that is).
Either way she is screwed because those in the group she doesn’t choose are going to be pissed. After all, they’ve been taught that group politics is the way to go. Promote the “group” above all else. Being a screaming liberal simply isn’t enough.

Liberals are all about groups. Heaven help you with you happen to be claimed by more than one of them.
That anyone would be upset with Oprah because she doesn’t endorse the liberal of their choice says all I need to know about their (lack of) character.
