#1 Goldberg reportedly said the country should "keep Bush where it belongs and not in the White House."

Guess she won't be voting for Hillary in '08.

#2 I wouldn't ask for an apology. At most, a deserved but wry comment would be best. Let this sort of thing get maximum exposure -- that's to the WH's advantage. But it's really more of a sad national disgrace than anything else.

#3 These people are touting American values? Maybe in their small little world. but a world with Michael Moore, Al Gore, Whopi, and Dr. Dean is a sub-human one.

#4 Why bother about a failed black actress who has lips larger than her belly!

#5 So, we have an idiot in the White House, who accidentally liberated 24 million people in Iraq, and 28 million in Afghanistan. What is your excuse bright boy? Why did the Clintons, who are so much smarter than the moronic cowboy do nothing of the sort for 8 bloody years?

They can make all these kinds of remarks they want. It may get Kerry some money for the campaign, but its gonna turn more folks away. Having tons of cash won't buy the election.

#6 Rep.123, why are you Arab Muslims such racist assholes? Is it all that inbreeding?

#8 This being a Dem-fest, was there actually anything positive said about Kerry & Edwards? Did they have anything positive to say about their own candidates? Didn't seem like it.

#9 If don't think the Prez should demand an apology. To me, that always looks petty & bitchy. Kind of like what the LLL does everytime a conservative makes an non-pc statement. Bush should just say he and his staff didn't bother watching the Dem fundraiser because they didn't want to be bored w/poor entertainment and has-been performers. Or, he should of said, "yeah, we caught part of it, it definitely cured my insomnia that night."

#10 Hey Captn America,

As someone who shares your dislike of the Left and, increasingly, the mainstream of the Democratic party, let me just say this: Do not call your fellow Americans "sub-humans".

You can call them idiots, retards, moonbats and a long list of other colorful insults. But "sub-human" is too much. I'm not going to get into the reasons why now. Just don't do it. It's wrong on so many levels, very un-conservative. Leave the Nazi-talk to the Left.

I sorta agree. Probably would have been better had the Bush camp said, " We read about it; the content of the event speaks for itself."...and let it go at that.

#12 My grandfather used "a brain as smooth as a cueball" as his ultimate epithet. A true gentleman - who merely stated the facts and let them speak for themselves. Perhaps I, too, should follow your advice, Abbie, and rise to such a level. I need a new vocabulary; to compile a list of pithy retorts which maintain a higher plane of civility, yet still cut to the bone, when that is required. Something akin to ass-sucking fuckwits in imagery but, y'know, classier.

#13 I agree with Abdullah. Let's leave the trash talk for Whoopi and the other followers of the haughty, French-looking caged hamster.

#14 There is a thing I find incredible and it is that people could give any importance to the opinion of TV and movie celebs. Why on earth? Are thy more intelligent, better informed, more cult than your everage little guy? AFAIK none of them has a degree in rocket science, maths or econmy. Only actor "studies" who prepare little to understand the world. Or it is becauue they are more virtuous than us? People who routinely use drugs, cheat constantly, have a near 100% divorce rate (followed by remarrying with girls thirty years younger than them) and occasional raping of underage girls (that is Polanski, notice that it didn't prevent the showbusiness people to grant him an award) and we should kowtow in front of them? Nuts.

#15 Comic actor Chevy Chase heaped scorn on Bush’s intellect: "This guy is as bright as an egg-timer,"

Like the characters you've played in the majority of your movies, Chevy? Freakin' hypocrite.

#16 I agree w/JFM, there was a blog that listed how so many entertainers were pinging on the Bush admin but how none of the entertainers themselves have ever gotten through college. Their opinion is no better then the guy who works at the factory, the farm, or anywhere else. They're just so f*cking full of themselves they think people care what they think. There are some sheeple who do but those types are usually morons anyhow.

#17 I agree with Jarhead, Prince Abdullah and Mike on this one.

#19 Methinks this Dem sleaze fest may be the 2004 version of the Wellstone Memorial;
Talking about how this cash-for-cussing fundraiser "shows the heart and soul of America" while Whoopi swills wine and yammers about her bush (even Ted Danson with beer goggles regrets going there) is going to kill them in November!
I love it! Keep it up, Dimocrats!

#20 The Whoopi Goldberg incident at the Democratic Fundraiser is an excellent example of why more than half the population of the U.S. is outraged.

Almost all comedians make fun of their present administrations and many of our beloved comedians such as Eddy Murphy & Lenny Bruce (just to name a couple of the many) have used vulgarity in their routines.

According to the Constitution this county was founded upon, it would have been perfectly acceptable for Whoopi to have delivered her routine on any national television program, especially given the trash, violence and vulgarity that the major national networks already air, even at prime time! At it was, Whoopi delivered her routine on her own turf at a Democratic Fundraiser, which was covered by the national news media obviously for the sole purpose of gathering anything they could use as ammunition against the Democratic Party and certainly not for the purpose of relaying bi-partisan information to the American people. Incidentally, I'm sick of listening to the major national news networks portraying the Democrats negatively and campaigning for the current Administration every chance they get.

How dare this Administration demand an apology from the Kerry-Edwards campaign because Whoopi Goldberg exercised her Constitutional right to FREEDOM OF SPEECH!

The American people need to wake up, get off the Prozac and get with the program. Every individual in this country should be outraged that our Constitutional rights, which make this country great, are being compromised and covertly stripped away from us.

Allowing the major corporations, national TV and radio networks to dictate to us what we should listen to and what we should say or not say can only lead to the disintegration and destruction of freedom and democracy for all Americans.
