Why would John McCain lower himself to appear with that bunch of dingbats?

"Democrats need to embrace Hollywood because this is where they need to come to learn how to tell a story." - Michael Moore*
Hollywood stories are fiction for the most part.
The Democrats are already experts at that.

I think the most important question here is: What the heck is Whoopi wearing?

Anyways, it seems to me that it's AAAATT (All About Abortion, All the Time) with liberals, on either side of the border.

That's funny.

I just turned to my husband the other week and said, "The problem with Hollywood and the reason there aren't any movies worth seeing anymore is that people in Hollywood have lost the ability to craft a proper narrative. They don't know how to tell a good story anymore--you know, where there's a seeminly insurmountable object or villain and good triumphs over evil."

I guess Mr. Moore and I don't see eye to eye.

What's the date of this video?

I encourage more Hollywood endorsements of the Democrats.

It will drive McCain's numbers up a good 5-10%.

Whoopi is an imbecile. She's dumber than common field potatoes.

Using race as a bludgeon against people turns the public off. Black racists are no less racist, nor any less correct than white racists - they're just more hypocritical. The more idiot fools like Whoopi play the race card, the less guilty white centrists will feel for voting against Obama.

Yeah, and these gals are great story tellers...right?

That Woopie Cushion, what a comedian.

Granted - we just saw a bit of that - but oh my - Whoopi - please!!! And unfortunate that John McCain didn't say "We can't leave that there, not with this question or allegation hanging. It was a dark part of our history, etc etc etc"

What's with the fan?
Is this about her "bush" again?

The Republican Party was originally known as the anti-slavery party.

Wrong person for Whoopi to question.

re: What's with the fan?

-- Reportedly, her nickname is Whoopi becaue she farts a lot (from Wiki):

Her stage name was taken from whoopee cushion, which she initially used as her stage name; she stated that "If you get a little gassy, you've got to let it go. So people used to say to me, 'You're like a whoopee cushion.' And that's where the name came from.

"Us white folk, we'll take care of you." Should we be outraged?

Obama's arab ancestors on his father's side were apparently slave traders. Don't know about his mother's.

Kate, you've got an open blockquote HTML tag in this entry. It's messing with the rest of the page. Just so you know.

I encourage more Hollywood endorsements of the Democrats.

Oh, I agree. No better way to discredit the "party of the elite" meme than to have celebrities who make more in an hour than most of us here make in a year (combined, in some cases) opine about issues of the "common folk."

McCain served this nation admirably, and survived the horrors of POW camp. These harpies on "The View" are, however, their own unique form of torture.

Question - when was Whoopi ever a slave? (Except, of course, to the liberal ideologies of the Democratic party.)

Alas, McCain dropped the ball on this one.

He should have mentioned that slavery was abolished by AMENDING the Constitution, not by some judge deciding that the Founders really didn't mean it when they neglected to abolish it at the outset.

of course whoopi would know that Abe was a dirty republican

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Lincoln#Emancipation_Proclamation

The slaves were not freed by the Supreme Court. They were freed by a President, and the 17TH Amendment to the Constitution adopted by the people from 2/3RDs of the States.

John missed the right answer to Whoopi's question about the Supreme Court legislating.

Whoopi obviously doesn't get it (no surprise here ) ...McCain is NOT suggesting he endorses slavery...It is McCain's view of Roe v. wade...Plain and simple...give it to the States!

The demacrooks can always count on the hollyweird crowd to help out in every election

They just continue to showcase their utter stupidity these leftys, and for those of you that think that, it is what you believe in, well carry on, throw away your vote on the ndpeers or greenies. These are the kind of people who have accomplished nothing in their own life, but can tell everyone else how to run their lives, great examples these losers. Whoopie and Rosie, Joyce and old, roll her in flour first Barbara, are the very definition of stupidity.

McCain is good tase of woman first his wife then Palin and now look among all those woman

McCain come to this show VIEw to take vote of all woman of USA espcialy white Catholic for sure

He is man and really army man love woman
all of them Irish Italin black red yellow boldn green he is so funny thanks god he is plan to become president in age 72 other wise if he become one day president in early age for sure we have more laught like Mr. Clinton sai

I never had any relatioship with that woman

and McCain msut say I never had any relatioship with all those woman under oath

he is funny and woman lover I think

woman love him if he was not smart in know the woman he never could choose beautiful wife then he really army man

I say it because 50% of my family are work in army not becaue I like their job I know the culture of army men in general

if Mrs. CLinton do not back he will get all vots of woman in USA for sure or most of them

go boy McCain go go boy go

your culture made me so laugh do anything to win
must be good actore not good qualfication or experience

I saw Chacky chan said once I used to in China do so much hard job and several time broke by legs when I went to USA I learned I can let my partner and film makder fake so many thing befor i must pratice for years to do it and he just tr to say how much he love American

before if you see actore in Hollywood from look and art and voice not film make can cut and past like the one for mrs. May did happend few days ago

but still Hollywood in not good shape since war will cause they can not sell more movie and that is reason they dono like Republican because some busienss group and movie makeer love to made money for sell the film and when peope hate American and their film they will loose millions

that is not really Hollywood like Obama more htan McCain is only matter of money who help them more to that matter
probably Mr. Moor may lost some contract with hollywood talk bad about them that is all money money money.... that is only thinkg USA thinks now even Sarah and Mccain think of money & power

Tom Paine and Jim R:

You are right, McCain did drop the ball there (understandable given the gruesome company he was in).

He should have simply asked the preposterous Whoopi:

"Where in the US Constitution does it grant the US Government any power to enslave African Americans? Please show me."

Total low class, low blow, insulting smear by Whoopi.
The topic was "Abortion".
Woopi interrupts because she wants to clarify whether or not McCain's FOR owning, trading and enslaving black people, before the conversation can proceed.
Niiiice.

Last time I heard that take it was followed by the audience chanting "Jerry, Jerry "

Not worth talking to.

To be fair, I DO admire her flyfishing vests.

Yeah, it's horrible when Hollywood types get involved in politics.

Reagan, Schwarzenegger, Sonny Bono...

That is exactly I am trying to say in related to topic but may not explain it clear

In Canada and USA when it come to discrimination since most of judges are under pressure and never relly give right for fairness to other group if it come to Muslim in black in issue related now even history proof it was
never jduge give black slavery thatyou go and fre it was presidnet of USA said taht

now the agument is this: American presidnet said OM you are free what Muslim always argued that is fake freedom in fact never balck are get free but alsodiscrimination still exist or sme times get worse just change the shape from one shape to otehr shape still there is new slavery called it discrimination or racisim but that is not slavery like past but with nw shape

whne you give black go and you re free and not give them any brush to draw this freedom or never let to become any self confidence to become prsident and evne they lie because if you know boht patens are black you never let them to beocm presidnet or even mcCain say yes I like Black

did any bodyin Palin day saw any single black there NO WAY Hozeh..

now we can say OK I made you free by peice of paper means nothing when you are not give them free in base of go and work

or able to understand god creat human from all color the brain that can devlope and made businss made good minster or religion party or politicna you can say black are good and we must give htem fake job becuas nobody call me I am racist but also you must made from school from highschool form job and all leveles reall
cut the discrimination to let them real free

otehrwise they are black depend on mouth of white and Obma can not go forward wihtout one whie besidehim to keep him forward becuase law and lawyer and judge long long time in law of constitution never vlaue taht only one or two president of USA under presue gave or sign the paper

but that only was paper said " you black you are free and go " in fact paper has no meanign in socity of USA the same exist in Canda

you go before jduge and explain all discrimination still judge said " no cause of action" becuse tehy do not liek Muslim or black to gian anything over discriminatione easy because those jduge also hate us too for who we are

that mentality is heritage of white Enlgidh and need to time to blow it and education to cut it

in reverse Islam has welcome all colure whiel so many Muslim are white htey are not or never worry talk or work with black because that is not really matter really who ever thier heart is toward god is the best to take evil out of room

Only Islam can fight slavery in real meaning of it by welcome black among white not other religion is as strong as Isalm work in this area

McCain and Palin and Repulcian and conservative their face of most of htem are scream of hate of otehr colour or ohter different religion

He should have simply asked the preposterous Whoopi:

"Where in the US Constitution does it grant the US Government any power to enslave African Americans? Please show me."

Or, "excuse me but the Bill of Right's phrase that "all men are created equal" put a permanent knife into the heart of Southern slave owners".

When you lay with dogs you risk getting fleas. McCain needed to decline joining Whoopie and her merry group of bottomfeeder daytime tv idiots. Her audience I suspect can only vote if tv commericals allot them the time which is never.

It was the courts in Britain that did away with slavery there. It wasn't the court making law though, there was no law that said you could own another human therefore you couldn't. This was during the second half of the 18th century and well before the slave trade act as well.

Black Africans have much more to fear from Arabs, than from White Americans. Arabs have always, and will continue to persecute their southern neighbours. Now that so many Sub-Saharan Africans have converted to Islam, it's even easier to manipulate and control them.

I don't understand why Whoopi didn't take a lesson from "The Color Purple", and move back to Africa. I'm sure she'd be a big hit in Liberia.

dp
say it to some one believe you conservative and republican like black

as Muslim like chrisian you also like black!!
ha ha!! you are unbelivable for sure not human heart! very close to animal heart sorry!! that is true about conservative bunch of animal who hate all black thing their big ass is more valueable I really hate racist I can not handel myself I am so sorry for you and your culture
one good black is more respectfull to 1 million conservative racist to my eyes I kick their ass for their racist in this country to get them out

you said two sentece the only thing I did I put your realin feeling about balck first then Muslim
and it is so obvious you are laying and how much you hate Black taht you wish they back to Africa as you wish Muslim back to Middle east

your pants is on fire now
you Whiet ENglish are not able to handle black
poor black in North AMerica

I am white but hate racist people
====
dp you said two sentences so ironic
"

Posted by: real

They actually ran & won REAL offices.They put themselves as well their ideas before a public ballot. Woopi can have her opinion, but to compare that to people who actually won elections is superficial at best.

When did whoppi or the other Hollywood effete neo-Marxists plus their MSM enablers run & win? It takes guts to bare ones personnel ideology this way to be voted on. Whoppi has an opinion with no gas. Better to just spout off with name recognition with no real foundation in politics or the average American way of life as its lived by normal folks. Than think your ideas are superior from that fact, is fallacious thinking.

Hey Revnant

Who cares?

My point that the tired old Right wing talking point that Hollywood elite interfering liberals have all this power within the democratic party is false - and entirely hypocritical given that all the Hollywood stars who got involved in politics are Republican.

The fact of the matter is you guys have a problem with Hollywood being involved in politics only if the people involved are liberal. If they're right wing, then it's all okay.

real;

You obviously did not get the point of the post. No I have no problem with Liberal Hollywood actors who really run on their Ideas. If they win or not. They have earned some respect by being elected. Big mouth no it alls do not, just because they can pretend to be someone else in a story.

BTW, Whoopi has had abortion(s) in the past, just so everyone keeps her rabid inanity in context.

The Republicans should have nominated Bill Cosby for VP. Put him on the View and watch him shot holes thru that sanctimonious bunch! The USA is not as bad as Canada yet but they are getting there. For these people it is all about what you have done for me lately not what can I do to help myself.

Whats he want with some liberal talk show anyway its all this poppycock bull hooie
