You know, Oprah Whinfrey during the last election, in support of Obama said in the final polling hours "even if you are a crack head, you should go vote. Even if you don't know the candidates or what they stand for go vote"

Tried to find the actual "crackheads go vote" quote that you claim Oprah said. I did find this video in which she's being interviewed (I think by Rachel Maddow) immediately after voting the night of the election. She says that her polling place was across the street from a drug rehab center and she described seeing drug addicts voting. She talked to them AFTER they voted. This is a little different than "crackheads go vote" and I certainly don't see a damned thing about "even if you don't know what they stand for go vote." Even the person who posted this video is incorrectly spinning what she's actually saying.

I wasn't upset, just pointing out that your re-telling appears to be inaccurate.
She clearly thought it was a positive thing; these people are actually in rehab so they're trying to get their lives together, and they're deciding to vote for the first time ever. Oprah spread a lot of woo on her show and I'm not a fan. It just sounded odd to me that she'd get on her show and say, "All crackheads go vote," so I looked into it.

Alright, i retract my statement then. You ok now. Just never mind that a person who smokes things that could kill them within hours has a solid opinion on the economy, which is the subject i was trying to get across. Oprah's exact words, i could give a shit about, and obviously if you do care about it enough you will look it up. Thanks for that. statement retracted.

It's all good.
Oprah's done damage peddling all kinds of quackery and pseudo-science woo (The Secret, etc) but I'll give her a pass on one little anecdote about drug addicts voting. I'm in Wisconsin. There's all kinds of redneck retards here who are far dumber than any crackhead, and they vote. |
