In an interview with Parade magazine, Winfrey said America could “fall in love” with the former Alaska governor as a television personality, at least based on her reality show, “Sarah Palin’s Alaska.” But Winfrey, the queen of talk-show TV, said she didn’t really know Palin personally and wasn’t sure if she would run for president in two years, CNN said.
Does the prospect of a conservative Palin candidacy frighten Winfrey? Parade asked. “It does not scare me because I believe in the intelligence of the American public,” she replied, somewhat ambiguously.
The Internet home for American gay conservatives.
While many of the Democrats are having buyer’s remorse for supporting Barry Obama over Hillary Clinton, I’m somewhat glad that Palin isn’t a heartbeat’s-from-the-Presidency now. That said, the same might be said of Ronald Reagan in 1960 who was then just the former president of the Screen Actors Guild and a TV spokesman for GE. She now has the resources and connections to travel both nationally and internationally. Given the opportunity to travel and meet ordinary and extraordinary people, and the leavening of maturing on the national stage and consciousness she might just prove formidable yet in 10-12 years….she has the charisma now.
I’m put to mind of a young Winston Churchill who matured intellectually and geopolitically through a life of adventure, writing, travel, wildly-popular speaking tours and widely-syndicated press articles and columns into the Lion of the British Empire.
If Liberal Democrats really trusted the intelligence of the American people, they wouldn’t have enacted more rules that have been created since LBJ’s ‘Great Society’ of the 1960’s.
Socialists consider the people to be ‘potential criminals’, and create more and more rules that will ‘protect the people from each other’.

If Americans were so darn smart, they wouldn’t be watching Oprah on TV. Many have woken up to her, but she still has her fans.
If her idea of “the intelligence of the American people” is derived from that horrific sight of crowds of females screeching and hooting like a pack of orgasmic chimpanzees every time she decided to grant her audience boon, then I’m afraid Mizzzzzz Winfrey isn’t just an insufferable egocentric – she’s quite ignorant, as well.
Winfrey may know television for women, but she knows f*ck-all about the 250 million Americans who don’t watch her show.
Ambiguouly? You’re dreaming. Oprah’s counting on the intelligence of the American people to NOT elect that idiot.
Key phrasing there; ‘as a television personality.’ Putting her in the company of people like Snooki, Flavor Flav, and Bret Michaels. Yeah, she’s just a hop, skip, and a jump away from serious contention for the nomination.
And yeah – Oprah basically said she thinks the general public is not so stupid as to elect this moron. I have a pretty low opinion of American intelligence, and even I don’t think we’ve fallen so far.
The “intelligence of the American people” she speaks of elected the current drooling F&ktard in Chief we have now.
No, liberals don’t believe that the American people are intelligent. They see the proletariat as a more dangerous threat than the terrorists and they tell us so on a regular basis.
Obviously.
And as long as you live, you will never see them vote for Sarah Palin. If that makes Obama a ‘drooling f%ktard, it makes her one of the dumbest people alive.
Liberal elitist calls conservative dumb.
Can this stop being news?
It never fails to amaze me how people who have never been elected governor of a state, never attracted crowds of tens of thousands, never written a best-selling book, and never hosted a successful television show can smugly label a woman who has performed all of these rare and extraordinary feats an “idiot.”
Just remember, Sarah Palin just wrote a 300 page book of essays on the American experience. Barack Obama just wrote a coloring book.
I find it staggering that our resident lefties, the “enlightened,” the “tolerant” among us, devolve into a frothing, apoplectic mass of sheer hatred at the mere mention of Palin’s name.
Even more staggering are the lengths these same repugnant, obfuscating sh*ts will go to forswear that such hatred dwells within them.
Whoever said that it isn’t possible to hold two opposite points of view simultaneously obviously never met a libtard.
I’m pretty sure Sarah Palin knows what the scientific method is.
This puts her leaps and bounds beyond liberals like Levi.
I don’t need celebrities on to inform me on political matters.
I can make up my own mind, Ms Winfrey.
It doesn’t matter to me what you think of my views of Sarah Palin. The woman is inarguably a moron and is transparently cashing in on her 15 minutes of fame by exploiting the pre-existing conservative propaganda framework. She seems like a terrible person with a terrible work ethic and absolutely no attractive attributes whatsoever – if you think that means I hate her…. well again, I don’t care. If I thought there was even a remote chance that she could become the President, maybe I’d take her a little more seriously, but to me she’s just a freak show.
So, how many states has Levi governed, how many bestselling books has he written, how many hit cable programs has he hosted, how many game-changing political movements has he fostered?
Answers: 0,0,0,and 0.
So, if Levi is a massive failure in life compared to a woman who is “inarguably a moron”… what does that make him?
Not to mention, Sarah Palin succeeded at all of these endeavors besides being the target of non-stop attacks not just by the left-wing media, but by much of the Republican establishment as well. She reminds me of what was said of Ginger Rogers, who did everything Fred Astaire did, backwards in high heels.
And that still leaves Levi as a pathetic little bureaucrat whose major accomplishment in life is annoying a few people in the comments of a gay blog.
It wasn’t Palin who stated, the other day, (paraphrased) “Hey, *I* don’t NEED a tax cut so neither should any of you!” She didn’t make a classless comment about how rich she is to the press and the American people.
Nor did she make the same empty promises, repeated over the last three years, of making jobs and cutting spending a priority.
Isn’t it funny that Levi, who is such a super-genius, is stuck as a clerk at a Verizon store and unable to do anything else?
That’s really the problem. Liberalism is all about jealousy and spite. Levi hates anyone who makes more money and does better than he does because, in his own mind, he’s smarter and better than everyone else.
Too bad the world doesn’t agree. That is, of course, why Levi has to invent elaborate conspiracy theories about how “The Man” — or in this case, Sarah Palin — is keeping him down.
Social justice like Levi preaches is thus shown to not be justice at all — simply an excuse to “redistribute” from those who work and produce to those like Levi who don’t want to do either.
Levi has spoken ….. in absolutes …… except Levi says Sarah Palin seems like at terrible person. There, Levi leaves a crack in his bigotry for a ray of hope to attempt to slither through.
Hear ye! Hear ye! Levi has spoken. There is nothing more we need hear from the great and wonderful Levi on the topic of Sarah Palin.
And by the way, Obama just showed what a bunch of complete idiots both he and his leftist Obama Party are, given that they can’t even read a treaty.
Dogma Auntie warns:
Then Levi announces:
So, Oprah is a television personality, plain and simple. She is, apparently, comparable to Snooki, Flavor Flav and Bret Michaels. However, she is confident that the American people can detect an idiot and not go all Obama crazy.
Do I have this right?
Blah, blah, blah. If those are the metrics we’re using to gauge a person’s intelligence, well then you’re just as stupid as I am, aren’t you?In fact, by that standard, Sarah Palin is smarter than Einstein, Gallileo, Socrates, Isaac Newton, and every other human being that has ever lived save a small handful.
She came to sign books at my work one day last year. Her requirement was that if you wanted her to sign your books, you had to buy two new copies. So even if you were a big Sarah Palin fan, and you had already bought the book for yourself and for your family and friends, Sarah still made you plop down another fifty bucks if you wanted to get her autograph and talk to her for five seconds. And that’s just my semi-personal anecdote about her to go along with all the rest of her mean-spirited and ignorant comments, as well as the disclosures of people who have worked very closely with her in Alaska and on the McCain campaign.
You’ll wake up to it someday, but all this woman is doing is cashing in on her fifteen minutes of fame and leeching as much money out of people as she can before she’s found out. She doesn’t stand for anything except making a fortune by exploiting wedge issues and spouting platitudes. That falls squarely within my definition of being a bad person.
Perhaps attacking a woman of accomplishment like Sarah Palin makes leftists like Levi feel better about their own failed existences.
Lol, really, Levi?
Wh was Sarah Palin having book-signing at a Verizon store?
Even better, why don’t you tell us at what store and on what day this took place?
Can you do that?
And also, is anyone else amused by how Obama shills like Levi who defended Obama’s lies and abusive behavior are trying to project those onto Sarah Palin?
Levi: Once again, here are your own words:
Levi, you speak in absolutes and whatsoevers. So what is there to say to you? You have declared your total disgust for Sarah Palin. Fine. We know how you feel. You have spoken. We have read. Your response includes this warning:
She is going to be found out? That she is (1) inarguably a moron, (2) has absolutely no attractive attributes whatsoever, and (3) is just a freak show. We will pass on her being a terrible person with a terrible work ethic because she only “seems” to fit those negatives in your alleged mind.
The point, dear Levi, is that your enlightened following is remarkably dwarfed by Palin’s minions of idiots, morons, fellow freaks and unattractive in every way human debris. Right?
Actually, if you throw in money laundering via the unions, you’ve described your beloved Chairman. What do you reckon it would take to get his autograph on his ghost written Little Red Books?
You wish. Her approval ratings have been moving in one direction since she became famous, and every poll I’ve seen that asks the question puts her well below pretty much every other politician. She is getting less and less popular, even among Republicans:
http://www.salon.com/news/2012_elections/index.html?story=/politics/war_room/2010/12/24/palin_gop_criticism
Charles Krauthammer is wrong about 99% of the time, but he gets Sarah Palin completely right. In the long view, she’s detrimental to conservativism and like I said, someday soon you’ll see it, too.
And, at the end of the day, Levi remains a failure and an insignificance compared with the people whose intelligence and work ethic he denounces as inferior to his own.
How am I failure? Do you know anything about me?
I’ll tell you what, I never quit a job the way that Sarah Palin did – which is again, a willful and transparent abdication of any real responsibility and accountability in order to cash in on some unearned fame – I also wouldn’t be sent into rambling stupor if someone asked what I read. But what do I know? I thought you could judge people based on their words and actions.
Yet again, our leftard friend, having been denied his Chrismahanakawamadan wish of the peaceful death of the Palin family, simply can’t resist the fervent compulsion to demonstrate the utter hypocrisy of the modern moonbat.
They’re tolerant, as long as they like you.
If libtards were filing frivolous lawsuits against me every time I turned around, all of which were dismissed but were resulting in legal bills that were driving me to bankruptcy, and if they were going after my family and staff… I probably would leave my job to protect my finances, family, and staff.
Funny how whenever libtards bring up the “Quitter Palin” meme, they always leave out the fact that they were barraging her with frivolous lawsuits in an effort to bankrupt her and drive her from office. (Unlike most left liberal politicians, Sarah Palin did not have a vast inherited family fortune to fall back on.)
And Evil knows this, because it has been explained to him before. But like a typical liberal, he is too stupid and dishonest to acknowledge it.
I mean, are liberals even capable of arguing without lying.
Oh my god, lol, lol, lol. That’s your excuse? This woman made something like 20 million dollars last year, and you’ve convinced yourself that she had to reluctantly give up the job because the meanie liberals were making things hard for her? Gee whiz V to the K, you don’t think the gobs and gobs of cash had anything to do with it? I can’t tell if you’re totally pathetic or just completely gullible. I’ll be interested to see how long you can keep on believing that Palin has anything in common with you, that she is a leader and someone who deserves your respect. She’ll be laughing all the way to the bank.
This woman made something like 20 million dollars last year, and you’ve convinced yourself that she had to reluctantly give up the job because the meanie liberals were making things hard for her?
No convincing required. You and your Obama Party were actually stupid enough to brag about the fact that you were filing frivolous lawsuit after lawsuit after lawsuit to hamstring Palin and to bankrupt her. You and your Obama Party were actually stupid enough to brag about how you were out to hurt her family and how you were going to smear her into nonexistence.
And a year later, she’s completely turned the tables. Indeed, little liar boy Levi, you and your idiot Obama are so desperate to smear her that you’ve resorted to claiming that Tonight Show skits represent factual news, making yourself look even more like the fools you are in public.
And that is why you are a failure, Levi. You have proven that you attack Palin based on lies as I just linked. You cannot provide the most basic facts I asked for to verify your anecdote about what supposedly took place at a Palin book signing.
Your own behavior demonstrates that you are a failure.
Once again, Levi lies. She didn’t start making the cash until after the liberals had driven her out of office.
Could it be any more obvious how much Sarah Palin’s success sticks in Levi’s craw? ROFLCOPTER!
I didn’t lie about anything. I never said she made money when she was in office. What I’ve said is that you’re a rube if you believe her stated reasons for leaving office, as opposed to piecing together that she simply wanted to become a multi-millionaire political celebrity and her office was preventing that. Her motivation literally could not be more obvious, and to sit back and pretend like she was taking some principled stand against liberal persecution while you ignore the millions she’s made proves how naive you are. Of course Palin isn’t going to say, “I’m resigning as governor because I wants to get paid!!!”, she’s going to spin some yarn about how much honor and integrity she has and that she’s being forced to step down for the good of her state, the country, and the human species. Again, how gullible can you be?
Not nearly as gullible as the throngs of drooling moonbats in Grant Park who experienced a collective orgasm at the ascendency of the Mocha Messiah, and who insist that 3 feet of snow on the east coast somehow proves that Wisconsin will soon be a desert.
No, not nearly as gullible as THAT.
Poor Levi.
He’s still jealous that Sarah Palin is more successful politically, and financially than he is.
And of course he lies. She gave the reasons why she resigned. Levi refuses to believe them. Of course, Levi refuses to believe that global warming is a lie, that brown people can handle democracy, and that Judges do not determine which parts of the constitution are more important than others.
“The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, but that they know so much that isn’t so.” President Ronald Reagan.
Not to mention, personally. She’s got a good-looking stud of a husband and great kids. You think that doesn’t drive miserable people like Levi, Joy Behar, and Kathy Griffin absolutely ape-crackers?
An unholy trinity of ugly, hateful, ignorant bitches, proving that coasting through life being fed your worldview by those who’ve taken their cues from mass murderers only results in a marginalization one imagines is only slightly less devastating than that suffered by those in hell.
I’d feel sorry for them, were it not for the fact that I’m an eeeeevil rethug who kicks puppies, starves the elderly and exploits the poor.
Ha! I’m even more eeeeeeeeeeeevil. For one thing, I use more e’s. For another, I beat starving poor people with puppies. Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Nonsense. I helped build the Dick Cheney Black People-Hating Wind Machine!!!!! 🙂
Piffle. I helped Donald Rumsfeld build a new deck on his mansion… out of human skulls!
Amateur. I infiltrated the New Black Panther Party, in black face, and convinced them to stand outside of polling places, carrying night sticks, out of fear of having their “voices silenced” by the Vast, Right-Wing Conspiracy!!!!!
I helped Diebolt rig the vote machines in Ohio so that Republicans would win in 2004. And then I fixed the exact same machines so that Republicans would lose in 2006.
Of course I’m evil… ask either of my ex-wives.
