#1 Oprah seems to get suckered on these to-good-to-be-true heartwarming stories on a fairly regular basis. Seems like it would pay her to check these stories out throughly before embarrassing herself again.

#3 O has a problem in separating a 'good story' from facts or dealing with verifying claims of facts. It's the unfortunate half of elevating 'feelings' over the brains you were given. We saw the same problem manifested last month.

#4 Remember, for Ms. O and her audience, a feelgood story is just as good as a real one.

Typical of liberals.

#5 So Oprah got suckered and made to look like a fool?
I'd call that "heartwarming"...to me.

#6 Yep. Oprah endorses a lot blowhards who turn out to be bogus. Kinda makes you wonder about her endorsement of Obama.

#7 I read about this yesterday and there is an opinion of some survivors that this is mostly true. Mr. Rosenblat stated that he related the events as he remembered them from the perspective of a child. He claims this is not a hoax but his best remembrance of the events as they happened.

#9 Wait until she finds out that Obama is a fake also and that Bill Ayers wrote "Dreams of My Father". Sort of like Rathergate. The story is fake but the narrative is true.

#10 Too bad nobody hooked her up with Madoff. She'd probably be living on food stamps and guvmint cheese by now.
