Her church says that gay people in the country should go to her church and become 'cured' and that the modern nation of Israel is deserving of any terrorist attacks that it receives due to its' lack of acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord and savior of the world.

And that is how it SHOULD be. All or nothing. Maybe Oprah knew she would not be evenhanded towards the candidates, because she is an Obama supporter.

Now I can see you watching Jerry Springer, Mac, but Sarah doesn't have time for that sort of thing, she still has a state to run.

I think the Jerry Springer Show is more to her kind of audience anyhow.

Obama was on "The O'Reilly Factor" last night.

I would be wary of putting her up, she is suddenly the hottest celebrity going, and the hype of going on Oprah would just keep up the celebrity hype thing going, and distract from the issues. At least Obama had been in the public eye for three years before he went on Oprah... Besides, Oprah supports Obama. Why give Palin such a boost? I am sure they would not give Obama a free boost on FOX

That's the most intelligent thing you've ever said Pete. Don't let it go to your head.

Oprah is a celebrity ass kisser, and Obama is more a celebrity than a leader

Oprah is an overpaid biased talking head. Her guests make her show. I think she really put her foot in her mouth this time.

Oprah has proved herself a hypocrite then. Just like Drama-obama.

This just shows that Oprah Winfrey is not the person who should be trusted. Even though she gave donations during the huricane Katrina, it was just for publicity, fame, and her own glory. Failing to give fellow Americans information by interviewing Sarah Palin on Ophra Winfrey Show shows Ophra's racist side.Birds of the same feather flock together.FYI: I am NOT a McCain supporter. I just feel that Sarah Palin as she has better knowledge of organization (she know how to handle things from bottom to top;  from PTA to State fo Alaska Governor) will be better vote as VP of the US than Biden.

Did not know that if that is the case then she should offer fair air time,but it is her show.

She said she wouldn't use her show as a platform for any of the candidates, that's the part I don't understand.

It's her show and she supports Obama so she should have the right to have who she wants on her show.  I will admit that Palin did impress me when she gave her speech the other night, she is interesting
