Whoopi to McCain: “Do I have to be worried about becoming a slave again?”

The ‘Busters have the transcript. This isn’t quite the offensive idiocy it might seem at first blush; she’s asking a (mostly) rhetorical question about constitutional theory to challenge McCain’s stance on Roe, i.e. whether following the Founders’ intent is such a hot idea given that their Enlightenment views weren’t quite fully enlightened. One possible answer: We can correct the Founders through the amendment process. That’s what we should have done to legalize abortion and that’s what we did to ban slavery. Or did you miss that lesson in first-grade history, Whoopi? McCain’s response: Hey, good point! Groan.
Still, insofar as you don’t often see questioners shameless enough to ask Republicans whether they want to bring back slavery (even on MSNBC), it’s a golden TV moment. Exit question: If McCain’s uncontrollable rage is 1/1000th as bad as the left would have you believe, shouldn’t his righteous indignation at being asked this have sent him into an Incredible Hulk-ish meltdown?

OK, so Whoopi would have to be at least 143 years old. And that’s really old. The important question then is: Can she use email?
Loxodonta on September 12, 2008 at 3:18 PM
I recall Whoopi Goldberg (real name Caryn Johnson) was fired by Slim-Fast in 2004.
One headline at the time said SLIM-FAST SHEDS 200LB OF UGLY FAT or something like that. I’m trying to remember where I saw that headline. Maybe the Onion?
infidel65 on September 12, 2008 at 3:18 PM
You can tell that what he said about the judiciary only interpretting the law and not legislating from the bench went right over their heads.
shick on September 12, 2008 at 3:18 PM
McCain’s 2 for 2 on groans in 24 hours.
-Community organizers important and Obama outstanding = groan 1
-Whoopi “good point” = Groan 2

Why is McCain on this dopey show?
Steve McCullough on September 12, 2008 at 3:18 PM
I watched the whole thing. The end was what ticked me off when Bahbah Wahwah said to tell Sarah Palin they would only ask her easy questions and were nice to her in the interview of McCain. That was not true they attempted to make Palin out to be a wacko and implying Governor Palin would only have easy questions from those witches is ridiculous. Barbara had better hope ther is no lightning in NY or she might have a new hairdo for the next taping!
McCain messed up by saying that Palin opposes abortion when rape or incest is involved. Maybe he did not, but I have not seen anything that indicates Palin is against abortion in those cases. But he did do a good job explaining states rights and why Republicans feel Roe v. Wade violates the Constitution.
I loved Cindy slamming or dismissing Barbara’s question about the number of houses they own. LOL! That was grand!
The audience applauded McCain quite often and at times that I think irritated the wacko females on the panel. That was great!
freeus on September 12, 2008 at 3:19 PM
Slavery was overturned in the Constitution, wasn’t it? The question was stupid, really. Unfortunately, McCain has a problem responding to difficult questions quickly enough.
If a large percentage of American women form their opinions from watching that inane coffee klatch, we’re in more trouble than I thought.
manwithblackhat on September 12, 2008 at 3:19 PM
My guess is that Palin would have hit this one out of the park.
jukin on September 12, 2008 at 3:20 PM
Weren’t there 3 or 4 sections of the original constitution exactly defining and endorsing slavery?
Maybe a clause?
A sentence or 2 somewhere?
I’d like to get a look at Whoopi’s copy. Or maybe it was all just a fantasy she played out with Ted?
snaggletoothie on September 12, 2008 at 3:21 PM
Only if you move back to Africa and they sell ya to the Arabs, ya twit.

McCain’s answer: “Hmmm, you don’t look that old Whoopi.”
jerseyman on September 12, 2008 at 3:21 PM
He should have asked for her secret to looking so young for someone that was once a slave 145 years or so ago. Dick Clark has nuthin’ on Whoopi!!
calguyintexas on September 12, 2008 at 3:21 PM
McCain should have stated it was a Republican President and Congress that ended slavery. It was the Republicans in Congress that passed the Civil Rights laws over democrat obstructionism and filibustering.
eaglewingz08 on September 12, 2008 at 3:21 PM
Ron Paul was better on this issue on The View than McCain…
ninjapirate on September 12, 2008 at 2:55 PM
So you’ll be voting the Cynthia McKinney “Green Party” ticket then?
catmman on September 12, 2008 at 3:23 PM
I would’ve LOVED McCain to say,..”Well,Whoop,..Only if obama is elected, I hear them Muslims have some motto about,you’re either a Slave,Muslim or dead!”…this goes back to my 3rd grade teacher–ask a stupid question,get a stupid answer.Thanks Mrs Moston.
christene on September 12, 2008 at 3:23 PM
When McCain was talking about his faith, most of the faces of the stars on stage were grim, blank or showed contempt. But did you notice the frequent loud applause from the audience? Sometimes, the stars and the audience disagree.
Loxodonta on September 12, 2008 at 3:23 PM
Well, obviously she want to be a member of Obama’s “involuntary servitude” that his wife let out of the bag.
bbz123 on September 12, 2008 at 3:24 PM
McCain would go on Aurora, Il public access TV if he thought he could pander to a large enough audience of like minded dopes, mah friends.
Fletch54 on September 12, 2008 at 3:24 PM
If Whoopi was paying attention she wouldn’t have needed to ask her question.
shick on September 12, 2008 at 3:24 PM
Whoopi is a case book study on why one shouldn’t do crack, evah.
Alden Pyle on September 12, 2008 at 3:25 PM
Some even wonder how McCain got this far in the political race.
Woopie is truly offensive and racist on so many levels.
And she’s an DONKEY”S ASS
Kini on September 12, 2008 at 3:25 PM
No she isn’t. She’s liberal, but she’s not idiotic. The idiot award goes to Behar and that lady who thought the Earth was flat.
And I think she caught McCain flat-footed by rather overtly playing the race card. McCain was right to duck the way he did… I, as a lawyer who knows a few things about con law, would have responded by saying that slavery was corrected by constitutional amendment and that black people should not assume that legislating from the bench will give them better protection. After all, the Supreme Court legislated from the bench in the 1800s (Dredd Scott, anyone?) to prevent free states from emancipating slaves who ran away to their jurisdictions and to prevent the federal government from outlawing slavery in federal territories. And, the Supreme Court nearly legislated from the bench to ban school vouchers to the extent they went to parochial schools (Zelman), against the wishes of a HUGE swath of the black community in Cleveland who wanted their kids to have a chance at a good education.
But, McCain’s not a lawyer and didn’t have the time to think up an articulate answer to a HUGE landmine question.
Outlander on September 12, 2008 at 3:25 PM
Actually, Palin’s against abortion in all cases except in the case of a woman’s health. She answered a question in an Alaska Governor’s debate and said she would “choose life” even if her daughter got raped and got pregnant.
JustinHiggins on September 12, 2008 at 3:25 PM
That was so retarded. “Us white folk will take care of you”.
Sue on September 12, 2008 at 3:26 PM
They would have swarmed Palin too. Believe it. They brickbat Elizabeth Hasselbeck daily.
capitalist piglet on September 12, 2008 at 3:27 PM
I just heard Whoopi’s explanation of the separation of Church and State replayed on Medved’s radio show.
Sigh.
I think we need to accept the fact that Obama has the Wicca vote sealed up.
How will I sleep tonight?
Y-not on September 12, 2008 at 3:27 PM
Whoopi’s will be 53. Odds are
GodGaia will be making this question moot for Whoopi in a couple years ifHeShe hasn’t already done so.Dusty on September 12, 2008 at 3:28 PM
Don’t groan. It was a Maverick moment. Do you want him getting into a debate into the technicalities of law with an ignoramus live on national TV?
AlexB on September 12, 2008 at 3:28 PM
McCain is a humble man. With eyebrows. And honor.
“Hey, good point!” = “Whoopy, that’s so stupid, I am not obliged to address that. Next question.”
starfighter on September 12, 2008 at 3:29 PM
Whoopi must think that slavery “got overturned” by the SCotUS or something. She must not realize that slavery was banned by an Amendment.
I don’t think that it is McCain’s inability to respond to this question quickly enough, I think its that he doesn’t want offend his hosts by questioning their intelligence or lack there of. He must have just submitted to being gracious and saying, “Excellent question” and what he might have been thinking was, “this is an excellent opportunity to inform the viewers of constitutional law, but maybe its above the hosts’ heads?”…he probably did come to a crossroads where he decided not to go down the path that would be too long-winded for The View’s viewers and hosts.
I don’t see a problem with having a litmus test. “Do you think that Roe vs. Wade should be overturned?” seems perfectly legitimate if you want to find out if the candidate believes in judicial restraint. If the candidate answers “Yes” and then proceeds to give their conservative viewpoint, then you know they are a *bad* candidate because they aren’t strict constructionalists.
Giving Whoopi the benefit of the doubt, perhaps she thinks that McCain/Palin want to return the Constitution to its original form without all of the Amendments? Hell, I don’t know how to think like a liberal…I’m just taking shots in the dark here.

Geministorm on September 12, 2008 at 3:31 PM
I think we reached consensus over on Michelle’s site that the 13th amendment abolishes slavery, and the 14th amemdment secures the citizenship rights of former slaves and their descendents. So it is the constitution itself that guarantees Whoopi’s freedom and citizenship.

FiveWays on September 12, 2008 at 3:34 PM
Wow. She should change her fake name to Dopey Goldberg.
flyoverland on September 12, 2008 at 3:34 PM
He could have also reminded Whoopi that it was a democrat, confederate general Nathan B. Forrest, that created the Klan, Bull Connor was a democrat, George Wallace was a democrat, and it was the democrats that threw out the first elected Black Americans – (R) from office. The CSA was full of democrats, etc. Democrats created Jim Crow as well as “separate but equal”, I could keep going and going and going…!
calguyintexas on September 12, 2008 at 3:36 PM
To begin with, Dred v. Scott is one of the better examples of legislating from the bench.
Goldberg also seems to be unaware that slavery is unconstitutional because it’s explicitly prohibited in the constitution. No penumbras needed to ban it.
Mig on September 12, 2008 at 3:38 PM

She kissed another actress in the movie The Color Purple. Come to think of it, I can’t think of a single guy she’s kissed on camera.
shick on September 12, 2008 at 3:39 PM
It’s such a stupid question. What can you do?
He should have said “You know, Whoopi, I might be 72 years old, but if anybody tried to bring back slavery, I’d be the first in line, strapping on my gear and weapon, to stop them”.
IreneFingIrene on September 12, 2008 at 3:42 PM

Why did he choose to visit that forum?
FireBlogger on September 12, 2008 at 3:44 PM
Ladies and gentlemen, this is why stupid people used to be drowned in wells.
McCain wiffed… the correct answer is, “Whoopie, I support judges that govern according to the Constitution and do not perform the role of the legislative branch. If you’d like to overturn the Constitution or the Bill of Rights, you’ll have to talk the Democratic Party about gun control. Roe v. Wade, fortunately, is not a Constitutional right, but a poor example of the Supreme Court trying to act like Congress.”

Tony737 on September 12, 2008 at 3:47 PM
Every time the witches on “The View” show up in the news (not just on their own misbegotten show), they reinforce female stereotypes. I can’t believe that they don’t see this themselves.
Why does McCain go on this show? In our modern, through-the-looking-glass world, this actually passes for a purveyor of the news as it can get vacuous celebrities on to spout, flog movies and books, etc. That it can sometimes get acutal newsmakers they like and suppong on-air makes those who know they’re not well liked by this has-been clatch of Macbeth witches feel they have to get on.
Why does McCain go on Leno? Exposure. That, and it’s expected. Has he been on with Jon Stewart? I don’t watch his worthless me-fest, so I don’t know myself.
Side question: who in the wide, wide world of sports is Joy Behar? I seem to remember reading that she was originally a comedian. If she is/was, she’s in a class with Chevy Chase, Janeanne Garafalo and that Stuart Smalley guy. She’s a walking New York stereotype, as well as being a shrewish woman stereotype.
The continued success of this show is a sign to me of the decline of our civilization, on the level of interest in Paris Hilton’s career, interest in Lindsey Lohan’s future plans, and interest in anything Pamela Anderson was ever involved in.
Puritan1648 on September 12, 2008 at 3:48 PM
This is a target rich environment. McCain should book a slot once a week until the election.
Anyone who watches this show is in the tank for Barry anyway so McCain’s not going to change minds. However, the potential for nut buzz is off the charts.
We’re one more appearance away from one of these gals really stepping in it. Plus, we have the force multiplier effect. Meaning, the worse Barry does in the polls the nuttier, more frantic and angrier these gals will get.
Whoopi might actually have her name and humor finally used in the same sentence.
Rick Davis should book the apperances, press record and take the day off because the ads will write themselves.

Sic ‘em, Sarah!
Steve Z on September 12, 2008 at 3:55 PM
I can’t get my computer to show me the video, but Whoopi needs to be told that Roe v Wade actually ruled that the 14th Amendment only applies to *legal* persons, which Blacks weren’t when the amendment was ratified. The SCOTUS had just previously ruled in Dred Scott decision that Black humans weren’t – and never could be – “persons” with Bill of Rights protections (”legal persons”).
When was Dred Scott ever overturned? When were Black humans ever given legal personhood?
justincase on September 12, 2008 at 3:57 PM

drunkenmaster on September 12, 2008 at 3:58 PM
Whoopi is a slave already. Is she asking Massah for mo?
Coronagold on September 12, 2008 at 3:58 PM
“do I have to worry about becoming a slave again?” The word “again,” implies that she was a slave at some other time in her life or that she faced the possibility of being a slave at some point in her life. Unless she was born before the emancipation proclamation…I don’t believe she was ever threatened with being a slave. The View is possibly the worst daytime show for discussing issues in an unbiased approach. Poor Elizabeth. I hope the abuse she takes is worth the money she earns.
mindhacker on September 12, 2008 at 4:00 PM
The dolt-0-meter just redlined.
moxie_neanderthal on September 12, 2008 at 4:02 PM
McCain could have said that the federal government has no business doing anything that isn’t specifically granted to it under the Constitution, and that anything not so enumerated belongs to the people or the states. In other words, he could have cited the 10th Amendment. Constitutionally, the Supreme Court had no business deciding abortion from the federal level and thus, Roe v. Wade should be overturned on that basis. He might also have continued by saying that if we allow courts to add legal doctrine outside the boundaries of the Constitution, then we have a rule of men (even if only nine) and not law.
NNtrancer on September 12, 2008 at 4:04 PM
What a stupid eff-ing questions.
cannonball on September 12, 2008 at 4:04 PM
Watching that, I can’t help but contrast what some might call the “ideal” woman on the left versus the “ideal” woman on the right.
It’s no wonder the Obama campaign is terrified of Sarah Palin. I watch a clip of John McCain, and my immediate thought is, Sarah Palin carries herself with so much more character and professionalism than these women.
dugan on September 12, 2008 at 4:06 PM
McCain should have said, “Don’t know Whoopi, are you planning on going back on the pipe”?
I always knew crackheads were stupid, but I thought they smartened up when they quit–my mistake.
Bicyea on September 12, 2008 at 4:06 PM
why dose anyone go on the view its a blithering joke for blithering dopes .
come on you know they don’t have 1st grade history
Mojack420 on September 12, 2008 at 4:07 PM
I think Maverick went on this show to sit next to Babwa Walters and look young again.
I love these clips since whenever the discussion gets somewhat interesting the rest of the girls go berserk and try to get profound.
What other nation on earth would actually pay Whoooopie to be seen in public and talk about things she has no idea about?
Talking about abortion to a panel of women that except for Hasselback have had a few, takes real guts. Go Maverick.
Hening on September 12, 2008 at 4:08 PM
Whoopie is stupid, as is her question. At no point does the President have a role in the amendment process of the constitution.
jaime on September 12, 2008 at 4:09 PM
My question for Whoopie: Do you agree with Roe v Wade that the 14th Amendment applies only to “legal” persons?
justincase on September 12, 2008 at 4:11 PM
Yeah. I thought so too! I don’t think Barbara (like many liberals) sees herself as condecending to minorities but it sure sounds like it to me. “Us white folks will take care of you” – as long as you don’t stray off the plantation!!

They should stick to talking about fashion and baked goods. They obviously don’t know the difference between an amendment and a Supreme Court decision.
Ronnie on September 12, 2008 at 4:28 PM
I won’t bother watching that pathetic bunch, and I haven’t read all the comments, so this might be redundant: McCain’s response should have been “You never were a slave, thanks to the Republican Party.”
windbag on September 12, 2008 at 4:28 PM
The correct answer is: Yes, of course you do. As Bob Marley sang so perfectly, “Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery; None but ourselves can free our minds.”
Sadly, these perverted old women have no capacity to follow his instruction.

If Whoopie doesn’t strictly toe the liberal line she will lose her high paying host job on the View. Will be shunned and rejected by all liberals. Will never work again.
Wow! Sounds like she is already slave to the liberals and their cause.
Helloyawl on September 12, 2008 at 4:56 PM
This reminds me of that idiot Carmen Diaz saying a vote for George Bush is a vote to make rape legal.
Elizabetty on September 12, 2008 at 4:56 PM
Whoopie is so silly that she doesn’t even know that Obama actually does have a proposal involving involuntary servitude. He wants to force children to provide 50 hours of community service a year. The government will decides what counts and what doesn’t and there will of course have to be penalties for those who don’t submit to their masters in the government.
The SOB is arrogant enough to think he can be everyone’s daddy to make up for the fact that he never had one himself. He needs to work out his issues in private and not in the Oval Office.
Ben Franklen on September 12, 2008 at 5:07 PM
Whoopi got her name from her constant flatulence. It reduces her value as a slave.
Right_of_Attila on September 12, 2008 at 5:12 PM
Okay, let’s get real here. Slavery was a state issue. Some states were slave states, some were not. Those that were not were supposed to respect the laws of those that were. The Supreme Court upheld that. ABRAHAM LINCOLN, as president issued the Emancipation Proclamation, an executive order, that freed the slaves and effectively ended slavery as an institution protected by the federal government. The 14th Amendment recognized the birth right citizenship of the freed slaves.
It was neither the Supreme Court, the Constitution of the US nor the legislature that ended slavery. It was the President Abraham Lincoln.
Jvette on September 12, 2008 at 5:13 PM

Did any hear Joyless Behar on Larry King (?) saying that Palin does aerial hunting, then goes on to say that its sooo disturbing. Well, on Laura Ingraham’s show, they had Wasilla’s mayor on, and she said that its highly unlikely Palin did that, in fact its illegal and strictly controlled to certain situations with specific authorized personel.So shouldnt Behar be held for recklessly spewing this without the normal research a large network would be expected to do??
malkinmania on September 12, 2008 at 5:18 PM
What McCain should have said:
The legalization abortion should been an admendment along with the banning of slavery. Also The Respublican Party was founded as a ant-slavery party.
The Democratic Party was the party of slavery, segregation and the Confederates.
RobCon on September 12, 2008 at 5:19 PM
What scares me even more than the stupidity of Whoopie and her three liberal cohorts is the reaction of the audience. Whoopie’s comment, as are most by the libtards on that show, was designed to get the exact reaction she got.
This is the result of liberals in charge of education, people too ignorant of history in general, our own in particular to understand the significance of the whole debate over Roe v. Wade, states rights, the proscribed roles of the three branches of government and what the constitution does and doesn’t protect. That’s why they applaud the idiocy spouted by Whoopie, not just today, but nearly every day.
That is why the liberals have targeted education as one way to bring about the America they desire. Because an informed and educated electorate would throw them out of the America the founding fathers envisioned.
Jvette on September 12, 2008 at 5:29 PM
An addendum to my earlier post. While I stand by the statement that Pres. Lincoln ended slavery with the EP, it was the 13th Amendment that made it official for the entire country and insured that future states could not adopt the practice. It was somewhat of a formality that made it one of the fastest amendments to be ratified.
Jvette on September 12, 2008 at 5:38 PM
What a laugher — these women are really nuts. What’s sad is that they tend to authenticate every stereotype against women, whereas real women like Sarah Palin dispel them.

In the words of Clarence Thomas:
“It’s a national disgrace. And from my standpoint as a black American, as far as I’m concerned, it is a high-tech lynching for uppity blacks who in any way deign to think for themselves, to do for themselves, to have different ideas, and it is a message that unless you kowtow to an old order, this is what will happen to you. You will be lynched, destroyed, caricatured by a committee of the US Senate rather than hung from a tree.”
Whoopi and oprah have kowtow to the old order and don’t even know it. It’s like a liberal jedi mind trick.
“You dont need to see his identification. These aren’t the droids your looking for. He can go about his business. Move along.”
