Dr. Laura Says She's Quitting Radio After N-Word Flap
ABC News ^ | August 17, 2010 | DEAN SCHABNER and SHEILA MARIKAR

Posted on 08/17/2010 7:57:35 PM PDT by citizenredstater9271

Dr. Laura Schlessinger announced tonight she is ending her radio show, a week after she broadcast a five-minute-long rant in which she used the N-word 11 times.

Schlessinger said on "Larry King Live" tonight that she has decided "not to do radio anymore" so she can say the things she wants to say.

"The reason is, I want to regain my First Amendment rights," she said. "I want to be able to say what's on my mind and in my heart and what I think is helpful and useful without somebody getting angry, some special interest group deciding this is the time to silence a voice of dissent and attack affiliates, attack sponsors. I'm sort of done with that."

She told King she will not renew her contract, which expires at the end of the year. She said she told her bosses 10 minutes before she went on the air.

She was trying to make a philosophical point, she said, but added, "I didn't help her [the caller] by making that point."

Anyone who gets upset at the word “niggardly” is showing his ignorance and lack of education. I teach college English. It might be fun to throw that word into a lecture sometime and watch the kneejerks and fireworks begin! It would be just too easy to humiliate the first person who flapped his jaws!

That is a little deceptive on her part. I wonder how many people, such as I, thought that she had a doctorate in psychology or a related field?

Actually, I believe Dr. Laura is a gun owner.

I never said she was unarmed, just that FReepers, the ones I know personally, are *better* armed. We don't stop at handguns and/or shotguns.

Off hand, I would guess not many.
