"Dr" Laura announcing that she's not doing radio anymore to exercise 1st Amendment

[UTUSN]

She started out saying that the caller she used the N-word on was "hypersensitive" and "Dr" was trying to HELP her.

[DesertRat]

1. I'm watching her on Larry King right now

She can't say what she wants to say without "special interest groups" coming down on her. :eyes:

[CreekDog]

2. that makes no sense

but who am i to argue? :D

[DesertRat]

6. She says that people are trying to silence her

for making a "philosophical point". She wants her voice out there in different ways. She said she has a book coming out in January about all of this called "Shark Attacks on Land".

20. Man, I thought this would be at the top of the page...

She's anti-gay, anti-anyone who isn't a WASP, and one of the most mean-spirited pundits out there. I had a feeling that this would be the end of her show but she's spinning it in a way that she made the decision. I would like to say good riddance but I feel strongly that she'll probably get some kind of deal with Fox.

[FBaggins]

27. She's "anti-anyone who isn't a WASP"???

I thought she was jewish?

[bluestateguy]

3. Where will all of those white stay at home Security Moms go now for marching orders?

??

[DesertRat]

9. I was a white stay at home Mom

and surely didn't need her advice.

[lpbk2713]

4. She's busted no matter how she spins it.

Piss on her bigoted ass. I hope she loses every damn sponsor she has.

[UTUSN]

5. She's all over the place, claims to apologize but was"making a philosophical point"

and yet claims that "people" are not accepting her apology and demanding she be silenced. Poor poor her.

[UTUSN]

7. Larry said, " 'Dr' Laura is CHUCKING IT!1" Kathy GRIFFIN is next!1 n/t

[NC_Nurse]

8. She's retiring? That's the first thing she's ever said that makes me think maybe

there IS a God!

[DesertRat]

14. Oh, not so fast

She's leaving radio but "will not be silenced!" I expect her to have her own show on Fox News next.

BTW she said her radio contract is up at the end of they year.

[UTUSN]

15. No such luck, just letting her radio contract expire (or was she ASKED not to extend?!1)

Unfortunately, as she says, she's got her books, her website, her appearances, and Larry asked her to come back!1

Her contract expires on December 31, but she said she will be on vacation then, that her last show will be sometime before Xmas.

[NC_Nurse]

17. Oh, so much for that glimmer of the Divine.

;)

[malaise]

10. They fired her racist ass

Good riddance.

[Gus2525]

11. Hilarious! Pulling a Palin.

She is quitting, then playing the victim a la Palin.

[704wipes]

12. Is she going back to more topless & bottomless pics now?

Online sex shows?

[Booster]

13. Well, isn't that special. Now who's being hypersensitive?

If I can't say the n-word without being called on it, then I quit.

[quinnox]

16. At least this way she won't get in trouble for using the n-word

to her hearts content, which most likely with her is on a daily basis. You won't be missed Dr. Laura.

[marmar]

18. Dr. Laura and Crazy Taterz? Separated at Birth?

[blue sky at night]

19. Hey, I am all for silencing her......

one tiny drop in an Ocean of right wing douche bags! See ya DR. Laura!

[UTUSN]

21. Kathy GRIFFIN: "How am I the sanest person on this show?!1"

Larry: What do you think of 'Dr' Laura's leaving radio?

Kathy: Fantastic!1 It's about time!1

Larry: What about Blogo?

Kathy: They had a TAPE of him selling the Senate seat and they couldn't reach a verdict?1

[UTUSN]

22. Kathy: "I think she's a BOTANIST!1 I don't know what kind of 'doctor' she is!1" n/t

[UTUSN]

24. Kathy: "Im not going to call her 'doctor' - when LAURIE was here she claimed

that 'special interest groups' --by which she means ALL THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY---are trying to silence her..."

[Steely_Dan]

23. I Used To Listen To Her...

...just to get my blood boiling.

I don't know what happened with her affiliation with KFI in Los Angeles. All I know is that she dropped off the air about six months ago. I honestly thought that she had retired. Now I see that she is affiliated with a different station. I wonder what happened at KFI. It was her "home" station...where her show originated. I mean she had been with them for 20+ years, I believe.

-PLA

[UTUSN]

26. I listened too for the same reason. Tonight she said she told the radio contract people

she isn't extending "ten minutes before" coming on the Larry KING show. That doesn't seem too willing. Plus her voice was cracking throughout.

Yeah, I've heard of "tough love" but she is BRUTAL, besides being, well descriptives fail... What goes beyond "BRUTAL"?!1

[Confusious]

25. Thats too bad :(

Where will all the sadomasochists go?

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

28. Another right-wing martyr

Fuck her.

[closeupready]

29. Yay! Finally!

:woohoo:

[UTUSN]

30. Larry: "You don't think she's a doctor?" "I wouldn't go to her for a pap smear!1" n/t
