#1 Sure, that idiot bitch, goldberg, has a right to say what she likes...... BUT, Slimfast also has a right not to associate with her. Or, in this case, FIRE HER STINKING ASS!

#2 Yet another Hollywood bint who does not understand that freedom of speech is freedom to critize and BE critisized! This is an outstanding example of many thousands of little folks excersizing their freedom to let Slim Fast know how they felt and how they were going to vote with their bucks.

#4 "Americaâs heart and soul is freedom of expression without fear of reprisal," she said in a statement.

Yawn. This is the oldest response in the lefty playbook.

#5 Asa Khalif, who has made headlines for accusing celebrities of insensitivity, cried foul in the Goldberg firing.

A little research may help Mr. Khalif. As it turns out some in top executive posistions at Slim Fast are donors to...the Democratic party. Turns out they are really capitalists, not "racists."

#8 Can you believe that Ted Danson used to tap her? So friggin gross I can't even imagine it in my worst nightmare. Of course, Ted is a confirmed nimrod, so that may have something to do with it.

#10 "Americaâs heart and soul is freedom of expression without fear of reprisal," she said in a statement. . . . â . . . my right as an American to speak my mind."

Ahh. The stupidity of the LLL media moguls. They are absolutely ignorant of the fact that the laws of our nation are such that average citizens (and businesses) can never violate the First Amendment. Where there is no prior restraint by Government, or Governmental retaliation for speech, or other similar governmental action, there is no First Amendment violation. What these people are really objecting to is the very thing they profess to cherish -- the unfettered exercise by private citizens (and businesses) of that particular First Amendment right known as criticism -- often of some LLL moron or opinion.

#11 Reminds me of the quip: "Who's a racist? Someone who's winning an argument against a liberal." It certainly applies here.

#12 What an elitist bitch! (apologies to all female dogs out there...) She claims she has the right to say those things (which she does) and then turns right around and whines about us exercising the same right.

You are right Ms. has-been, you have the right to say those things and we have the right to call you on it and we have the right to not patronize Slim Fast and Slim Fast has the right to cancel your contract for losing revenue.

Its called Free Will. Get used to it because this isn't a socialist country (thank God!).

#14 Let's not beat around the bush, Whopi is a slut piss-ant. Flush her sorry ass down the johns.

#15 Nice one, cingold.

Right. Whoopi's "freedom of speech rights" cannot be violated by private parties. Duh. Criticism and the right to "just say no" through our purchases, our business decisions, our criticisms, stands. In other words, she can say stupid things, and we can say we don't like it. She should learn how to deal with that fact, especially since she has opted to represent retail products as part of her livelihood.

SlimFast's decision had to do with business--and they have a right to make their own decisions about what will, and what will not, benefit sales. SlimFast does not exist for Ms. Goldberg. It exists to make a profit.

Whoopi apparently doesn't understand that the First Amendment is to prevent the GOV'T from infringements against the citizenry. Sheesh. The libs just don't know nothin' it seems.

#16 While negotiating her next job she should simply insist that she cannot be fired for her political comments. I'm sure they'll be lining up at the door to hire her.

Well at least she can keep Danny Glover company in the unemployment line.

#17 Gee, let see how an I put this gently...

Whoopie, my dear, who give a flying f**k about a fat assed washed up has-been unfunny b*tch like you has to say? Get your lard ass back in the center square and make a buck or two the hard way.
