It's great that fake doctor Laura is going to be off the air, but really the only news that would make me happy about people like this is "fake doctor Laura is dead". My favorite headline would be the following: "Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Sarah Palin, and fake doctor Laura speak at Tea Party Convention. Convention center bombed. No survivors."
I know just the people for the job.
And Dr. Laura crying about free speech is fucking stupid. She wasn't arrested for saying what she said. She quit working for a private corporation who limited what they would let her say if they were going to give a microphone that was going to be transmitted to millions of people. When you go on the radio you are paid to say shit so that advertisers will sponsor you and pay the station. When you say offensive shit, you turn off the sponsors and fail to do your job.
Also, it should be no surprise to her that there are broadcast standards that I am sure she knew damn well about. You think she'd be crying about free speech if they bleeped her out for saying "fuck?" No. Of course not, there are standards of decency in commercial broadcasting that should be nothing new to her, considering her long career in radio and the fact that broadcast standards outdate her career.
This is an attempt for her to turn the tables. She's trying to create pity and sympathy for herself as a victim by wrapping herself in the American flag and claiming she is a hero for free speech, trying to manipulate the narrative which is currently out there which is "she's off the radio because she went over the line and shouted the n-word 11 times at a women during a speech which included several other racist aspects." Its pathetic. As far as I know, the FCC didn't even fine her, and she wasn't officially fired, just likely told never to say that shit again because the sponsors won't stand for it.
I love the fact that dumb ol' Sarah Palin is backing her on this though. Its like "The tea party isn't racist, but let's see Obama's birth certificate and radio hosts should be allowed to go on racial rants over the air without any repurcussions. Did I mention we aren't racist?" Jesus.
