Why on earth did she go on Larry King to announce this?
I had liberal relatives over at the house last week and was bombarded with CNN for my guests - it was a constant drone of that “N-word” Dr Laura phone call for two days straight.
She may have set the fire but CNN stoked the flames.
And then she goes on King? pfftt....
(Note to self - don’t ever ask a liberal relative what they want to watch on your TV)
I didn’t hear her N word rant, but I quit listening to her some time ago.
She has an irrational bias against heavy people.
When people called, they were instructed to phrase their question in a way that allowed her to misunderstand and get off on a tangent. I heard one call that had nothing to do with the callers weight, but Dr. Laura’s vein of questioning took her to find out that the caller was overweight, and Dr. Laura was very rude and disrespectful to the woman because of it. By the time the poor caller finally got a chance to ask her question, she had been humiliated.

More double standard. Only liberals and dems can say anything without any retribution. My only thought is if you listened to Dr. Laura for a month you heard every show. The next month the names are changed but the same problems and issues are there. Most people know what that right answer is but they want to fight and argue and somehow justify their behavior.
Good riddance. Dr. Laura was one of the meanest, most obnoxious voices on radio, as far as I’m concerned.
Her bedside manner could drive any borderline suicidal person to pull the trigger.
I won’t miss her.
I suppose her rant isn’t available?
Her program never held any interest for me and the intro music was an immediate turn-off.
The N word belongs in the trash can like so many other pejorative words---but that's a choice we make. Either way, all races have the same rights so let's stop the game playing.
CNN is featuring this - shocking I know. I heard enough of the exchange between her and her caller.
The Rev. Al Sharpton weighed-in on his high horsie along with another black man whose name I didn’t catch.
Apparently, Dr. Laura has been peddling soft racial bigotry for years, according to the two aforementioned men.
I wouldn’t know. I’m neither a fan of hers nor a listener.
I see it as a form of going Galt.
Like the guy that was fired for saying “niggardly” and after the flap they offered him his job back and he said, and I paraphrase, “F*** off, niggers.”
The fuss over her use of The Word A White Person Must Not Utter (or whatever to call it) is insane. She did not use it in an offensive way. It is merely a word. It is not like she beat up somebody or made false charges. If hearing this word will cause Americans to fall apart and need a psychiatrist then we should be ashamed of this nation.
Could part of the objection to her also be because she is Jewish?
