At the time the etiology and transmission of the disease was not fully understood, so some citizens acted in panic by refusing to swim in it. Some off the top comments made by community members in her early show were not exactly gracious but given the threat, they could not be seen as unwarranted. How this became a media event is another question. How a swimming pool in a small mining town suddenly becomes a national issue, stagecraft surely smells here. It’s not enough to persuade already converted urbanites to secular values. The problem is how to filter these to small town conservative folk and get them to admit they might not be right or kind all the time, i.e., destroy their own credibility to themselves. Bringing the original members back to “repent” of their outspokenness was supposed to be a feel-good healing experience for them and for the millions of viewers. The idea was to parade these people as being untrue to their own values, to show how Bible believers can be so un-Christian. I submit this was highly perverse and sneaky coming from the high-priestess of Hollywood values but true to form the way anti-family values have been coming from a crack in the window and spreading all over the house, just like infectious bacteria. Over the 23 years since this event happened there has been non-stop, in-your-face, bending-over-backwards to promote compassion for the same sex lifestyle in the mass media. What about compassion for dismantling the family, the cornerstone of society? The latter is a far more grievous concern than being caught with one’s compassion pants down. ”Fear” is the hook so cleverly wrought. Offense is the best defense. Well, fear is a natural response to perceived danger. Should one be fearful of a highly infectious disease when all the facts were not in? Is this unreasonable? Surely not. Caling it phobia makes normal people seem deranged. When caught, good people will examine themselves first and say mea culpa if they offended anyone. This was the repeating refrain in so many words during the show from the carefully selected group that was by the way, not open to the public as the forum 23 years before. Having seen the recent program, I believe this was a disgusting display of manipulation by Oprah to have the community members constantly defending themselves when they should have nailed her instead on being one of the country’s biggest home wreckers in her own drippingly fake, subversively accusative, selective compassion. Thyphoid Mary 100 years ago may have been worthy of compassion as an individual but who really cares when people sickened and died because of her lack of personal responsibility in spreading the disease. Blotting out the fear mechanism by saying these are really nice people worthy of compassion while the whole structure of society crumbles, is perverse and much more blameful.

Sexist pig. “Is sitting on a couch all day jabbering with your friends really setting the best example for America’s women? At least Martha Stewart cooks and cleans on her show.”

This is what happens when women are allowed too speak up in public. They become all powerful and lead the nation astray. The women follow her because they feel she understands their plea, and the men follow her because now women have their balls and they have no other choice. A few men out there follow her on their own because they have been hypnotized by her extremely large breasts, which I may add are completely fake. A friend of my cousin's mom did the implantation.

She uses liberal propaganda in her programming to poison the minds of women and children. She was also a big supporter of Barry Hussein Osama. She has also been known to turn children gay. She does this through hidden advertising. She needs to be barred from TV. Sarah Palin will be taking back the White House in 2012. I will be working hard on Sarah's campaign and at the same time going door to door educating people on the power of Jesus Christ. Oprah is a very powerful public figure.

She has given (no investment) large sums of money to establish schools in developing countries and to aid the poor. God cares for all human beings, in a way. So, wouldn't he care for Oprah Winfrey, who is one probably the most generous person in the world. Entering a business with a high annual salary does not display any evidence of corruption.

To top that the discussions following the article are just comedy gold! What I've been wondering though, is how many of the "key debators" are the same person trolling it up. Janicefun, Claire, TheShockingTruth, and of course Billings are all closely grouped together in the timing of thier posts and in the direct corrolation of the argument against the previous post. So my hat is off to you, oh trollers of the internet! PS: The Internet: 500 Jillion Common Sense: 0 So after reading 4 of these articles, I have to say they are all hysterical.
