I’m sure all the righties worked up over Dr. Laura wouldn’t mind in the least if high profile black people started referring to white people as Crackers and Honkies. Hey, it’s Free Speech, a freedom close to the heart of every Republican. After all, Sarah Palin was very tolerant of Rahm Emanuel for his use of the word “retard.”

Yes. Good riddance to bad rubbish. I love how she “apologizes” first, then
launches into a tirade about her First Amendment rights. Hate speech is not
protected by the First Amendment. Just like standing in a crowded theater and
shouting Fire! is not protected speech. This woman has the intellect of a chipmunk
and she has no place in national discourse or debate. I’m not really comfortable
using words that marginalize anyone because by doing so, I’ve made myself feel
icky, and marginalized myself. Crawl into that hole where Anne Coulter lives and
you two can hold hands. Seriously though, both of you need to seek help for your
anorexia. I don’t know if it’s nervosa, or just starving for the camera like the girls
from Melrose Place (original series). Either way, it’s setting a bad example for
people who are watching. Even if they aren’t listening to your trash, they have
to look at your broomstick arms. What if I went on a tirade and mentioned
broomstick arms eleven times. Would that be very nice?

The censorship of speech is a violation of the first ammendment. I don’t like Laura - she’s an overrated underqualified shock excuse for a radio counselor.
But I do defend her right to use words that only offend those who let them. Our culture is being strangled by brain-numbing political correctness.One only has to play victim and indignantly call for a lynching for some slip of the tongue.

Laura still has some junk in her trunk.

I seldom listen to good looking women but find myself often agreeing with them, mainly to get into their pants.

Laura needed to know that the meanings are not in words but in people. To slaves and their descendants, label or symbol “nigger”, meant diminution, shamefulness, exploitation, abuse which by now may have imbedded in every cell of their bodies.

If one could wash these feelings-meanings away that would be fine, but one cannot over just decades and blacks still facing hatred, abuse, belittlement by some people.

They are still called afro-americans but europeans are not called euro-americans or italo-americans.

There is only one way to win hearts and minds of some americans who are looked dwn on: stop looking dwn on them and accept them as americans.

Alas, americans numero uno do no show respect to american numero five, six, seven, or even two.
Nor do all american classes inherit equally their rightful inheritance: healthcare, education, right to be infomrmed, equal protection of the law, etc.

All this heralds that the top class[es will behave as lawys before: grab-steal as much for themselves by simly writing own `laws`. tnx

In the annals of radio history, Dr. Laura was and is
a blip on the screen of life. She is not a Ph.D. in
psychology and should not have been dispensing advice
and knowledge as if she was.
We are a nation that lives in the cult of
personality, we selected a president based on that
cult and have the results now.
Dr. Laura was an irascible and now we know racist
person who paraded herself as a person who should be
giving advice. I listened to her once, never again.
The reason, what she was proposing as advice was
nothing more than you can get from your neighbour at
the fenceline.
Should the people who listened to her mourn for the
loss of ‘Dr. Laura’ on the radio? Absolutely not.
She has proven the fact that someone who knows
nothing can go on the radio and dupe the people into
believing a lie and showing them that they are
sheeple.

Hmmm. How to take this?

So Dr. Laura claims her “First Amendment Rights” are being violated when pressure groups organize boycotts of sponsors.

Huh?

The First Amendment specifically restricts THE GOVERNMENT from impinging on someone’s freedom of speech. It DOES NOT prevent people from PROTESTING against someone else’s speech.

No one has violated Dr. Laura’s “Freedom of Speech.” They have merely protested what she has said. In other words, they too have exercised THEIR “Freedom of Speech.”

As a libertarian, I point out that both conservatives and liberals often misunderstand the First Amendment. “Freedom of Speech” does not mean you have the right to say anything, but no one has the right to criticize it. It means everyone has the right to say whatever they wish.

And certainly, no one has a “right” to sponsors to pay for their speech, no matter what they say.

I’m surprise that she stay this long on the radio show which wasn’t popular at all. All you need to hear once and thts it.

Good riddance.
