Does that sound stupid to you?

Did it make you scratch your head and say :wtf:

Yeah well makes about much sense as the reason why Dr. Laura retired:

"I want to regain my first amendment rights (of free speech). I want to be able to say what is on my mind, in my heart, what I think is helpful and useful without somebody getting angry,"

1. it sounds like she got fired
whatever company she works for doesn't want to be associated with her racism.

3. Yup
I imagine she was told her contract would not be renewed and but she was allowed to pretend it was her idea to leave.

2. Did she make that statement on a national cable TV show?
Would the host have asked her back, or maybe asked her to STFU if she repeatedly said the n-word on his show?

This has nothing to do with the first amendment, "Doc" !!! You can say the n-word at home all you like. However, your employers, advertisers and listeners might have something to say about it if you do it "on the air."

Yeah, I think she was fired too...
