U.S. talk show host who used the 'N' word 11 times to a black caller on the air quits so she can 'regain' her free speech rights


A conservative talk show host in the U.S. has announced she is not renewing her contract because she wants to regain her right to the freedom of speech.

Dr Laura Schlessinger was at the centre of a First Amendment firestorm recently after saying the 'N' word an astonishing 11 times while talking to a caller live on the air.

She was forced to apologise - and last night announced that her radio show was being cancelled.

But Dr Schlessinger said she's not retiring or quitting. Instead, she said, she feels stronger and freer to say what she believes needs to be said.

Dr Laura Schlessinger, shown here in 1999, is not renewing her radio show contract after an 'N' word firestorm

'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 on CNN's Larry King Live.

Dr Schlessinger apologised last week for her use of the 'N' word last week in a conversation with a caller whom she accused of being hypersensitive to racism.

She said on her website that she was wrong in using the word for what she said was an attempt to make a philosophical point.

'To imagine that there are people who refuse to accept an apology because they have an agenda and would like me silenced - I'm done with that,' she said.

During the on-air exchange, Dr Schlessinger said the caller, who said she was black and married to a white man, was too sensitive for complaining that her husband's friends made racist comments about her in their home.

Dr Schlessinger told Mr King she 'never called anybody a bad word' and 'wasn't dissing anybody'.

Corinne Baldassano, an executive with Schlessinger's production company, Take on the Day LLC, said the talk show host plans to pursue opportunities through her website, books, podcasts and a YouTube channel.

At least two national sponsors of her radio program, General Motors Co., and Motel 6, owned by Accor SA, have pulled out, Baldassano said.

Previously, Dr Schlessinger's negative comments about homosexuality on her television show in 2000 inspired gay activists to campaign to get her off the air.

I am predicting about 4 or 5 pages on this topic as soon as people become more aware of it. Nothing like good ole racism that fires up some of the boards more prominent, and dare I say, infamous members.

Yet Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock continue to make a lot of money with that word by calling it a comedy routine. And the audience just eats it up with laughter and clapping of approval.

Enter the double standard my friend. It sucks, but no one really cares if they say it because they are black. The N word said amongst black people is about as offensive as a jew calling another jew a jew.:dunno:

The N-word is such an amazing thing, isn't it. It's power is revealed in the fact that I used 'N-word' to start instead of the actual word, ******. This word is unlike any other in so many different ways.

Well Nick DiPaolo and Artie Lange have a few funny bits out there. Especially Artie Lange's basketball skit. Lisa Lampanelli doesn't say it but she sure as hell is racist and mean as hell in her shows. There are a few others I can't think of now. Meh. It's odd to be honest sometimes.

In the end I have decide whenever I see a thread like this I will just post a song that sheds light on the situation:



I miss No Limit

It's not so much the artist as how many times they say the [cue dramatic music] N wooooorddddddd in the song without consequence or thinking twice about it. Besides Master P was the hottest thing in rap at that time. Don't hate. :nono:

Hardly. She's Jewish.

Speaking of photos, there were some pics of a young, naked Dr. Laura floating around the internet several years ago.

Hardly. She's Jewish.

She's about as Jewish as I am (he says while eating a sausage biscuit). She converted to Judaism and then renounced the conversion about five years later.

Laura Schlessinger:

"My identifying with this entity and my fulfilling the rituals, etcetera, of the entity — that has ended."

She's just another talk radio flake who contributes to the dumbing down of America. The poor, dumb bitch doesn't seem to understand that freedom of speech doesn't mean that you can say whatever you want and no one is allowed to criticize you for it. While this board doesn't promise freedom of speech, I don't expect to be above criticism for calling her a "poor, dumb bitch." But unless that comment is deleted, I haven't been censored, have I? Poor, dumb bitch!

She's a mean, egotistical, bullying, bitch! Whether there's some racism mixed in there or not really doesn't matter much.

It all depends on the suffix right?
-er=racist
-a=hilarious term of endearment
