Oprah's Offensive Opinion | The American Spectator
By Ross Kaminsky 11-25-13
An intellectually-cloistered elitist.
Since Oprah Winfrey was in London to promote "The Butler," a movie which depicts its subjects so dishonestly on the subject of race that Michael Reagan — who personally knew the film's key protagonists — called it "The Butler from Another Planet," it's not surprising that she would sputter more falsehoods about "racist" America in an attempt to stay in the public eye.
In an interview with the BBC, the self-made billionaire and long-time Obama supporter said that “disrespect for the office (of the president)…occurs in some cases and maybe even in many cases because he is African American.”
Oprah gave an odd example, citing Rep. Joe Wilson’s famous “You lie!” outburst during the 2009 State of the Union speech which, as Ms. Winfrey seems not to have noticed, was about Obama’s lying rather than his skin tone.
Oprah’s outrageous, racist blather was so appreciated that President Obama gave her a medal.
Winfrey’s claim has gotten a lot of pushback on Fox News and conservative talk radio as unsubstantiated liberal paranoia. Which of course it should, because it is.
Not a single one of my many friends who dislike this president even considers his skin color when it comes to how they feel about him.
They, and I, dislike him because he neither likes nor understands the country he leads — if you can call this leadership.
They, and I, dislike him because we believe his policies are destructive to the foundational principles of the nation and harmful to our children’s futures.
They, and I, dislike him because never accepts responsibility for his own failures and lies — which means the problems they cause in domestic and foreign policy cannot be fixed as long as he is president.
They, and I, dislike him because he has intentionally fomented deep divides in this country, worsening race relations, exacerbating partisan divides, and trying, like any two-bit Marxist revolutionary, to stir up resentment against the rich.
They, and I, dislike him because he hires the incompetent and corrupt and rewards them not based on the quality of their work but on their unfailing loyalty to Him.
They, and I, dislike him because even among professional politicians his narcissism is unmatched.
But his skin color is irrelevant.
