O’Reilly just had Dr. Laura’s clip on. I see DL’s point, and I agree. But her use of the N word 11 times on the air was wrong and she should have known it at the time. Likewise, Sarah jumping in when she didn’t need to was incorrect — sometimes Sarah just needs to be quiet and this was one of those.

Sorry, it was Hannity or maybe Greta. It was just on in the background and it was one of the three ... Long day...

I dont think Dr. Laura was being racist I think she was just trying to prove a point that many blacks(I have heard the N word so many times on the bus) use it yet people don’t see an issue with it but your right, she went WAY overboard by saying it 11 times..2 times Ok but 11 times was extreme. I can understand Sarah wanting to defend her(Weird since Dr. Laura doesn’t even like her) because she knows how it feels to have her words taken out of context so in that sense I think she was just trying to defend another person being smeared by the press

Read Palin’s post, not Newsweek’s caricature of it.

Well, I understand your reservations, I had them too when I first saw the tweet, especially given Dr Laura's comments in the past about Palin. But she loves tweaking the libs, and I like it too. They just want to frame everything according to their rules and values, and I'm sick & tired of most republicans always playing defense.

Actually Sarah’s post made sense.....it wasn’t whitewashing anything but clarifying how the left use “racism” and smear tactics all the time....no one reading it will come out of it saying Sarah was defending the use of the N-word or anything other than some lefty’s...it’s no big deal.

Naw, Dr. Laura was right. What do we have, Speech Police? First, words are not forbidden in this country; that’s just plain fascist. Second, WHO gets to say who can say a word and who cannot? THEY do? How are they going to enforce it? All she did was say the word. She broke a taboo, but a very Politically Correct one. We do not have to ‘obey’ PC rules.

She spoke for me, too.
