I’ve always wondered what makes Whoopi Goldberg, and other morons like her, such important “thinkers” whose opinions should really matter?
Really folks, think about this, who the f*ck is Whoopi Goldberg to make her an authority on what is right or wrong? Last time I checked she has no expertise in any field; is she a doctor, lawyer, accountant, psychiatrist, psychologist, sociologist, member of the military, law enforcement… is she anything other than a very bad, big-mouthed comedian who just happens to be black female and a drug addict?
I suppose if you qualify for enough minority categories in this country that makes you not only a celebrity, but an “expert” in social issues as well. TGO

Whoopi Goldberg came up with a poignant analogy while defending openly gay figure skater Adam Rippon’s refusal to meet Vice President Mike Pence before the Winter Olympics.
“I think it would be like asking a Jewish person to sit down and understand where the Nazi is coming from,” Goldberg said on “The View” last week. “I think that would be a difficult thing.”
The co-host’s comments came after she read a laundry list of the ways Pence has pushed back against LGBTQ rights over the years.
“He says keeping gays from marrying was not discrimination but an enforcement of God’s idea,” she read. “In 2006 he said gay couples signal societal collapse, and in 2007 he opposed the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, a law that would prohibit discrimination against LGBTQ folks. He doesn’t believe the repeal of ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ was good, and he rejected the Obama administration directive on transgender bathrooms.”
When it was reported last week that Rippon turned down a meeting last month with Pence, who led the official U.S. delegation to the Games, the veep tweeted out his support for the Olympian and attacked the media for spreading “fake news.
Rippon later clarified his decision, saying that he would be willing to sit down with Pence for an “open conversation,” but it would have to wait until after the Olympic Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
Rippon is expected to compete Thursday night Eastern time in the men’s short program.

She is as much an authority as the Ghostrider who excudes Ghost wisdom. Kudos to all the athletes that will not meet with either Pense or Trump. I would not. These two shams of a mockery, can kiss my ass. Taking a crap in the White House toilets should not entitle them to meet any one they chose, especially those that choose to withhold them from the photo opps and PR which is what these two scumbags really care about.
-Ghostrider Wisdom….that’s my story and I’m sticking with it.
