Sarah Palin Supports Dr. Laura Via Twitter: 'don't retreat ... reload!'

Sarah Palin has used Twitter to share some advice with Dr. Laura Schlessinger, the talk radio host who apologized and decided to retire from her highly-rated program after using the N-word on the air 11 times in 5 minutes.

Palin's advice: "don't retreat...reload!"

It's a breathtakingly tone-deaf bit of provocation -- even by Palin's standards.

Dr. Laura, as she's known on her radio program, quickly came under fire for her remarks of a week ago. She immediately acknowledged the mistake and soon announced that she would end the show once her contract expires later this year. She currently commands the largest audience of any woman in syndicated talk radio and overall her ratings are among the top five hosts in the nation.

1. I wonder if she realizes what she just did?
Sometimes I think she does but other times...not so much.

Let's see how she defends this.

2. This is proof that she has no clue just what the first amendment is all about
She's someone who is perfectly happy to scream "FIRE" in a crowded theater even if there is no fire and people could possibly be trampled as everyone rushes to the exit door.

12. I'm sure her handlers do know. I'm sure there are plenty of "ghost tweets."
There should be absolutely no mistake: the "tea" movement is a white nationalist movement, a white chauvinist movement. It is the cousin of the George Wallace movement, but without the economic populism. It is only "populist" insofar as required to seize political power. If it could consolidate power, it would broadly encourage depoliticization of the people.

4. So in Palin's world using
the N word is ok, but using the R word (RETARD) is not. To think this idiot was running for the second highest office of the country AND taken seriously is mind boggling.

13. Exactly

6. Was there ever any doubt she was racist?
In her 'Real America' there are no black or brown people who belong.

7. That's not fair. Brown and black people do too belong in Sarahs world.

They belong in the fields.

They belong in the kitchens washing dishes at fine restaurants and behind the counter at the McDonald's.

They belong on the garbage truck.

They belong in the hospital and hotel hotel hallways with a mop bucket.

They belong calf-deep in blood and entrails in the factory slaughterhouses.

They belong in jail.


Edit to add - they of course do NOT belong in the voting booth.

The woman who most likely wishes to run for President of the United States makes political pronouncements via Twitter and sounds like a barely literate 13 year old in doing so. (Steps aside bc her 1st Amend.rights ceased 2exist thx 2activists trying 2silence"isn't American,not fair") :wtf:
