Good.
She is intolerably obnoxious, overbearing, boring, and she obviously needs a shrink.
Bye bye, Dr. Lala.
I will try not to be niggardly in my praise of Dr. Laura.
I actually like Dr Laura. She kind of reminds me of my mother-in-law. She doesn’t beat around the bush and tells it like she sees it.
well i missed it..
She is/was a good voice on the radio... my wife, a moderate Democrat, was a closet fan of hers.
By the way, she didn’t call the caller an N-word, she said roughly that if you watch HBO, you’ll hear other black people calling each other the N-word as a term of endearment...
(Lesson: Don’t use the N-word if you’re not black or sufficiently ghetto.)
Good riddance....had a run-in with that hags producer years ago.
If I remember correctly, she was ranting that blacks on TV, cable and radio use the word all the time.
Someone must have leaned on her hard.
It’s not racist to have a system where one race is allowed certain speech, and others not of that race are punished for using the identical vocabulary?
Where a white president can be depicted as a chimp, but a black president cannot, a decision based solely on race?
This is beyound ridiculous. This is form of passive-agressive tyranny.
A word, that only 12.8% of the population is allowed to use. If any one even says that that is a horrible word and should NOT be used, then they have infact comitted an unforgiveable crime.
Also, throwing away a career because of N-Word-Flap is weak. If you are strong enough to make a point, then you should be strong enough to defend it. Why not fight till the end. Let them throw you off the airwaves. Then sue them and take it to the Supreme Court.
I am assuming Dr. Laura has succeeded financially to the point where she can actually afford to battle. If she is not going to do it then who is? Dr. Laura has what it takes to fight. It is a shame when WHOLE society turns on you, even good people get disheartened and quit.
Finally, by giving up the airways, you surely are NOT regaining your first ammendment rights.
Dr. Laura should punch NAACP and others in the nose and make the point because of you my kids have to learn words that I don’t want them to.
N-word? N-word? What kind of gutless PC world are we living in that we cannot say, think or write the, well I am going to call it the J-word. That is because if you are not a “insert racial slur of your choice here” you go to jail for daring to speak it.
Oh but for the “insert racial slur of your choice here” anything can be said without any fear of arrest.
Just really makes me want to love & help them so much. /s
Next they'll come for Free Republic.
She’s got a new pair of shoes, tra-la!
Wow she flushed her life long listeners as if they were mere...listeners. How very cowardly.
She went and did the right thing.
I cannot abide her screeching arrogance.
Good riddance.
Good deal, hop on your broom Laura and fly like a winged monkey. Then you can say the n-word all you want and no one will care. Just like now.
Liberals may be thrilled for now, but once Dr. Laura is free from the restraints put on her, LOOK OUT. Look for her to be much more political in her public appearances.
“The reason is, I want to regain my First Amendment rights,”
Has she even read the First Amendment? No rights were taken from her, no law was passed to restrict her.
I tried listening to Dr. Laura a few years ago, and I decided that anyone with an ounce of commonsense could do what she did. The people that called into her show were pathetic. It is the same with Dr. Phil. Do people actually have to go to school for this?
Among talk shows she was rated #5 in audience (Behind Rush, Glenn Beck, Hannity, Michael Savage, I think I have the order correct...) So, even if she was a distant 5th - she had to be knocking down some major $. And she appears to be ripe for retirement, physically. So, go for it!
Unfortunately, phrases like "What's up my negro?" don't quite have the same pizazz but should still earn you a fist bump or two.
I liked her. The lady doesn’t take crap from anyone.
