Dr. Laura Heads To Satellite Radio

» 28 comments

Dr. Laura Schlessinger‘s departure from radio–set for the end of the year–won’t last long, as she’s reportedly cut a deal to take her advice show to Sirius XM Radio in January.

Dr. Laura apologized in August for an n-word laden rant while speaking to a black caller who sought advice on handling racial tensions with the friends of her white husband. The host using the offensive word eleven times and ultimately telling the caller that if she doesn’t “have a sense of humor,” she should not “marry out of your race.”

Hear the call here.

The host later announced she’d leave her show when her contracted ended December 31. “I want to be able to say what’s on my mind and in my heart, and what I think is helpful and useful, without somebody getting angry–some special interest group deciding this is a time to silence a voice of dissent, and attack affiliates and sponsors,” she said at the time.

The new multi-year deal taking the Dr. Laura show to Sirius XM calls for the show to debut sometime in January. How much Dr. Laura will be making was not revealed.

    Fact: Dr. Laura apologized in August for an n-word laden rant while speaking to a black caller who sought advice on handling racial tensions with the friends of her white husband. Term only used by blacks. Whites need racial counseling if they use same term.

    Dr. Laura articulated how OTHER comedians used the Nword while using THE COMEDIAN’S “nigger” pejorative…she NEVER used her own choice of “nigger” and there was NEVER a “racist rant”

    “White” liberals are given a pass to articulate “nigger” as THEIR OWN CHOICE OF WORDS http://tinyurl.com/274vsed in colloquial conversation. “White” liberal abuse and full articulation of the Nword is condoned to attain spurious genuine Nword concern to exploit against conservatives like Dr. Laura.

    Q: why are white liberals entitled to colloquial “nigger” slurs with impunity? http://tinyurl.com/274vsed
    Just like Dr. L articulated how OTHER people used the Nword while using OTHER people’s “nigger” pejorative, This liberal New Jersey liberal said “we had a teacher that was just recently like ‘you nigger’”…using OTHER PEOPLE’S “nigger” pejorative: http://tinyurl.com/2chdzbq AFTER THE NJ TEACHER SAID THIS THERE WERE CRICKETS FROM THE SAME LEFT ACTIVISTS THAT VICIOUSLY ATTACKED DR. LAURA! Liberals activists are actually lobbying for this NJ teacher to keep her job.

    This double standard is a horrible way that “white” liberals impugn ALL upstanding black people.

    The real problem with Dr. Laura is that she hates, no despises, no detests half of the people in her audience. And as a result of her obstinate hate-filled prejudiced diatribe that has lasted for years a la commericial radio, there was no one left to come to her defense when she f’ed up and insulted yet another large group of people whom she had not up to that point managed to piss off.

    The Thought Police will be angry when they read this article. What does it take to silence people like Don Imus, Juan Williams, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Dr. Laura, etc.? Those dedicated Thought Cops work so hard to put a muzzle on these people, yet they continue to express their freedom of speech. When will the FCC step in? Can’t George Soros do something about this? Where is Media Matters when you need them?

    Once you allow people to speak their mind without reprisals, there is no telling what it might lead to! Thanks goodness we have networks like CNN where the Thought Police have the complete support of all the key decision-makers. Too bad the audience doesn’t appreciate the value of pre-screened and pre-censored news and opinion!

    They are already working on it, believe me. The oppressors of free speech (commonly known as democrats) are tireless.

    Dr Laura isn’t even formally educated in, or even remotely trained in psychology. She’s just another conservative fraud preying on half witted yokels who can’t think for themselves.
