Guess you missed all the follow-ups about her "generosity" with the free Pontiacs, huh?Originally posted by kat2220@Oct 25 2004, 04:52 PM
I also love Oprah, a kind, generous, giving and charitable woman (Filthy RICH too)! Wear it with PRIDE Lapster!

Its funny kat, evidently the deal fell through, and those people had to sell their cars to pay the taxes.Originally posted by kat2220@Oct 25 2004, 04:52 PM
A sham???? That woman has had more obsticals to overcome in her life than most ever will! SHE DID make a deal with Pontiac, who donated the cars, but she also arranged for tax, title, registration and delivery to be paid for. Get a dang life!
According to dozens of wire reports, countless newspaper articles, and several magazine articles, this is not what happened. Of course, it wasn't front page news when it came out...they made sure it got buried on page twelve.Originally posted by kat2220@Oct 25 2004, 05:52 PM

Then why is all you hear is "Oprah gave her audience new cars." and not "Pontiac just used Oprah to give away some cars."?Originally posted by Whizzer@Oct 25 2004, 07:33 PM
Since Oprah had no part in the plan devised by General Motors and Pontiac, why is she the "bad guy" because her audience is required to pay taxes on a free car ??? It had nothing to do with Oprah other than Pontiac Motor Division used the popularity of her show to give away 276 cars.
Well said, Whizzer. If anyone is a sham and a fraud, it is Martha Stewart. But we all know where she's at right now..Originally posted by Whizzer@Oct 25 2004, 07:33 PM
To those who feel the car deal is wrong and blame Oprah for whatever shortcoming they might microscopically find, it is because of one of two reasons. First, those who found fault with Oprah did not take the time to gather the correct facts, or secondly, perhaps the real problem is Oprah Winfrey, a black woman who is rich, popular, respected, admired, and who is making the best of the American dream.

So enlighten us marginally intelligent masses, Kreskin. Read my mind. We breathlessly await your amazing powers of divining.Originally posted by Whizzer@Oct 26 2004, 10:07 AM
It certainly must make some of the readers wonder what the real motive was behind the avatar although it is improbable anyone with marginal intelligence would have doubts.
