...and crowd boos them as well!
After coming out in support of Barack Obama, feminists in the declining, anemic movement attacked Oprah Winfrey for making the choice she wanted for president: Barack Obama.
In a mocking tone of indignation, Winfrey said to a crowd of 9,000 Obama supporters inside UCLA's Pauley Pavilion: "You know, after Iowa, there were some women who had the nerve to say to me, 'How could you? How could you? You're a traitor to your gender.'"
After the crowd booed the feminists who asserted it, Winfrey added: "Yes, that's how I feel, I say, I am not a traitor. No, I'm not a traitor. I'm just following my own truth, and that truth has led me to Barack Obama."
This is the first time Winfrey has been on the Obama campaign trail since the end of December, in the original three campaign states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina.
Obama got another boost as well, with a couple of Kennedy's appearing alongside Oprah, including Maria Shriver, wife of California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Caroline Kennedy, daughter of John F. Kennedy. Schwarzenegger, on the Republican side, has come out in support of John McCain.
The obvious visible female support is an attempt to counter the slight lead Hillary Rodham Clinton has among Democrat women voters. While she and Obama trade the same percentage of support difference, with men favoring Obama by 13 percent, and women favoring Clinton by the same.
Because of the ratio of men is less than women, Obama must make inroads there to ensure him the Democratic nod.
Oprah added in talking to the crowd, that real freedom is the ability to think for yourself and "decide for yourself what to do."
Those feminists who criticize Oprah for supporting Obama are not only naive but also racist. You cannot support a candidate just because she is of the same gender like you! Even a moron outside America would know that. These feminists are over-stepping their lines and don't realize that there could be some negative backlash for their idiocy.
This is still a male world!!! Women are still the weaker gender. They don't remember this. The little power they have gained was because of the kindness of men. Now, they are abusing that little power. If this continues, then they should expect to lose even that little power they have managed to get not from their strength but from the kindness of men. It is abuse of their power that women have been placed in bondage and mistreated for thousands of years.
