Whoopi Defends Vick
Whoopi picks up where Rosie left off.
I guess by that logic, slavery was OK early in our nation’s history because it was ingrained into our nation’s culture, especially in the Deep South.
Sorry Whoopi. It doesn’t matter where you’re from.
Wrong is wrong.
And dog fighting is as much wrong where Vick is from as it is where you are from.
Just 15 minutes into the show she brought up Vick’s conviction on dogfighting charges.
“You know from his background this is not an unusual thing for where he comes from,” said Goldberg.
“There are certain things that are indicative to certain parts of our country.”
Co-host Joy Behar seemed shocked at Goldberg’s statements.
“How about dog torture and dog murdering,” Behar asked.
“Unfortunately it’s part of the thing,” Goldberg replied.
“You’re a dog lover. For a lot of people dogs are sport,” she added.
Behar continued to shake her head in disgust.
Goldberg said it seemed to her that it took a while for Vick to realize that the charges against him were serious.
“It seemed like a light went off in his head when he realized that this was something the entire country really didn’t appreciated, didn’t like,” Goldberg said, referring to Vick’s guilty plea.
She said if the case had involved somebody from New York City her feelings would have been different.
Goldberg pointed out that Vick was raised in the South.
“This is part of his cultural upbringing,” said Goldberg.
Co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck said she was encouraged by the NFL suspending Vick indefinitely.
But Goldberg continued to defend Vick saying “This is a kid who comes from a culture when this is not questioned.”
It was Goldberg’s first day moderating the talk show. She took over from Rosie O’Donnell who quit the show earlier this year after feuds with Donald Trump and Hasselbeck.
