- I'm not sure it's possible for Sarah Palin to be more out of touch with mainstream America.
- "Dr." Laura didn't come under fire for using the n-word. She came under fire for telling a black woman calling her for advice on dealing with her racist in-laws not to be so darn touchy, because, hey, hip-hop artists say it, too! Tone. Frakking. Deaf. If you look up "privilege blind" in the dictionary, there's a picture of "Dr." Laura.
- Back to Palin, and anyone else who thinks "Dr." Laura's First Amendment right to free speech has been violated: go back to high school civics class, now. The First Amendment does not guarantee your right to say whatever the hell you want without consequence. It protects your right to assemble and communicate without having to worry that the government will throw you in jail for insulting the president or something. It does not protect you from being boycotted by listeners who think you're clueless. That's just the free market talking, "Dr."
Of course, we all know that Palin struggles with the concept of popular choice... like elections.
