News Item: Dr. Laura Schlessinger will retire from radio show, to "get First Amendment rights back."
She's like all idiots across the political system who believe that the First Amendment guarantees freedom from being criticized. She said a terrible thing. People (rightly) criticized her. Clearly, her rights have been violated.
Dr. Laura's long been one of the most vile people in American life and I'll be overjoyed if I never hear her voice again.
And of course, America's stupidest ex-governor has weighed in, on Dr. Laura's side:
"Dr.Laura:don't retreat...reload! (Steps aside bc her 1st Amend.rights ceased 2exist thx 2activists trying 2silence"isn't American,not fair")... Dr.Laura=even more powerful & effective w/out the shackles, so watch out Constitutional obstructionists. And b thankful 4 her voice,America!"Oh, where to start? It's great that someone who aspires to be president 1) doesn't know how to spell 2) doesn't know what the First Amendment is and 3) is full-throatedly defending someone who used the n-word a half-dozen times. What would "reloading" entail for Dr. Laura? Saying "nigger" 12 times? Posted by Stephen Silver at August 19, 2010 11:32 AM
