The audience that watches Oprah religiously is the white “shoulda been voted cheerleader” whose idea of the ideal life is in the ‘hood, and they think that by watching that sorry excuse gives their fantasies fulfillment.

Which is exactly why she’s successful – her audience is brainless, unimaginative and self-loathing.

Sarah Palin never went to a fancy private school, never attended an ivy-league university, has a son in the Army, a daughter with child and no husband, another son with Down’s syndrome.Oprah’s audience will relate to her far better than they can to Oprah!

Not feeling good about this Sarah needs to watch her P’s and Q’s. Then again maybe this is what SP wanted, maybe the Cuda got something ready for the Twinkie queen, maybe this is the first salvo in her comeback. To take on the people who done her wrong starting with that lying hypocrite Oprah.

As much as I like SP I cannot bring myself to watching the show, all I can do is wish her good luck and quick wit as she heads into the lions den.

You couldn’t get a better platform for Palin….using the back of your enemy! Go for it Sarah.

Don’t mince words. Don’t fall for her little “politically correct” new age nonsense! Stand firm and speak out against her type of media and how they were just cheerleaders and not journalists.

Shame her into admitting she is just a hypocrite. Make her eat crow!

If the folks at HARPO productions are just in it to get back a few ratings points for one program, they are really desperate! One day is all they will get because people want to hear what Sarah has to say, not Hoprah.

If Gov. Palin is not sworn in as the 45th president of the United States in January 2013, I fear for the resilience of this country.

As Oprah tries to discredit Palin, Palin will take this opportunity and media time to use to her advantage. My hopes she’ll play it smart.

I find it ironic that Obama is loosing in the polls while Hillary continues to gain. If Obama continues to bomb…could be Hillary vs. Sarah in 2012.

For a person who has always championed women’s causes, Oprah’s treatment of Sarah Palin during the campaign was insulting. Instead she was willing to sign on with a do-nothing decisive Chicago politician who is both anti-American and Marxist. She lost my respect as did all the rest of the MSM who thought being a “slobbering supporter” was more important than being a good journalist. [I mean you, Katie!] I would love to see something Obama wrote–because it is all safely salted away to keep his charming speaker tag in tact.

And I’ll point out that Amazon, in an apparent price war with Wal-Mart (IIRC), has lowered the price of Sarah’s book to $9. Yep, nine whole dollars. Great for us consumers.

I think Palin should a) not go on or b) run the interview.

She should ask Oprah why she wouldn’t interview Palin during the campaign. Oprah said she didn’t want to let her show be a platform, but then used it as such for Obama. Palin should call her on the hypocrisy. She could then segue into Media Hypocrisy in general.

Palin should ask Oprah how – as a successful capitalist and voluntary philanthropist – Obama’s social programs are aligned with her ideology. Is it just becasue he’s black? And isn’t that the very definition of racism?

Sarah could then segue into how racism was used to muzzle opponents of Obama and hide his radical liberal roots.

I’m sure the only purpose for Oprah having Palin on her show will be to try to make Palin look as foolish as possible. The Democrats absolutely fear her and they are fearful of her popping up again as a main contender in 2012.

It certainly won’t be one of the “kissy, huggy” interviews she gives to her Hollywood and Liberal friends.

Carol is right. At very least Oprah will attempt to get Sarah to say she will not run or seek other office. Oprah needs Sarah, Sarah does not need Oprah.

In the end, class wins out.

I have a different take on this. Hoprah is using Sarah Palin to get some viewers back that have been leaving for the past year. I wish she would not do the show because Hoprah will find a way to “nail” her, anything to help Obamessiah who’s falling in popularity.
