State-Run Media Pounce On Dr Laura Over Frank Race Discussion

NAPPY-HEADED NOTHING

Sick 'Gotcha Game' Continues - Now It's Dr Laura's Turn







*** DR LAURA'S NO RACIST ***

*** EARL OFARI-HUTCHINSON: LAURA GOT IT RIGHT ***

*** OLBERMANN BLASTS LAURA, MOST CONSERVATIVES STILL AFRAID OF TOPIC ***

*** SEE DR LAURA'S APOLOGY HERE ***


Forget hot-headed (possibly intoxicated) flight attendants, the real award for courage under fire this week goes to Dr Laura Schlessinger, who is now being raked over the coals by the State-Run Media and the left's professional Gotcha Game hucksters.

Nappy-headed ho's, this ain't.

For daring to have a frank discussion on race with an African-American caller and pointing to irritating media double-standards, Al Sharpton, Media Matters, Think Progress and the rest of the Professional Left have pounced on her. Liberal sites (staffed mostly by white males) are using the most unflattering images available via a Google search, while claiming a "history" of racism on her show.

Far-left smear merchants at Media Matters purport to have a correct version of the audio, found below (if another version appears later, we'll add it):





Amazingly, Media Matters includes in their transcript the very "N-word" that supposedly can't be mentioned in a discussion about racial politics! Are they (again, mostly a bunch of white guys) somehow excused from the Gotcha Game?

Here, in fact, Huffington Post runs a censored version of the Media Matters piece.

Take a look:

DR LAURA SCHLESSINGER: Well, can you give me an example of a racist comment? 'Cause sometimes people are hypersensitive. So tell me what's -- give me two good examples of racist comments.

CALLER: OK. Last night -- good example -- we had a neighbor come over, and this neighbor -- when every time he comes over, it's always a black comment. It's, "Oh, well, how do you black people like doing this?" And, "Do black people really like doing that?" And for a long time, I would ignore it. But last night, I got to the point where it --

SCHLESSINGER: I don't think that's racist.

CALLER: Well, the stereotype --

SCHLESSINGER: I don't think that's racist. No, I think that --

CALLER: [unintelligible]

SCHLESSINGER: No, no, no. I think that's -- well, listen, without giving much thought, a lot of blacks voted for Obama simply 'cause he was half-black. Didn't matter what he was gonna do in office, it was a black thing. You gotta know that. That's not a surprise. Not everything that somebody says -- we had friends over the other day; we got about 35 people here -- the guys who were gonna start playing basketball. I was gonna go out and play basketball. My bodyguard and my dear friend is a black man. And I said, "White men can't jump; I want you on my team." That was racist? That was funny.

CALLER: How about the N-word? So, the N-word's been thrown around --

SCHLESSINGER: Black guys use it all the time. Turn on HBO, listen to a black comic, and all you hear is nigger, nigger, nigger.

CALLER: That isn't --

SCHLESSINGER: I don't get it. If anybody without enough melanin says it, it's a horrible thing; but when black people say it, it's affectionate.

CALLER: So it's OK to say "nigger"?

SCHLESSINGER: -- and not enough sense of humor.

CALLER: It's OK to say that word?

SCHLESSINGER: It depends how it's said.

CALLER: Is it OK to say that word? Is it ever OK to say that word?

SCHLESSINGER: It's -- it depends how it's said. Black guys talking to each other seem to think it's OK.

CALLER: But you're not black. They're not black. My husband is white.

SCHLESSINGER: Oh, I see. So, a word is restricted to race. Got it. Can't do much about that.

CALLER: I can't believe someone like you is on the radio spewing out the "nigger" word, and I hope everybody heard it.

SCHLESSINGER: I didn't spew out the "nigger" word.

CALLER: You said, "Nigger, nigger, nigger."

SCHLESSINGER: Right, I said that's what you hear.

CALLER: Everybody heard it.

SCHLESSINGER: Yes, they did.

CALLER: I hope everybody heard it.

SCHLESSINGER: They did, and I'll say it again --

CALLER: So what makes it OK for you to say the word?

SCHLESSINGER: -- nigger, nigger, nigger is what you hear on HB --

CALLER: So what makes it --

SCHLESSINGER: Why don't you let me finish a sentence?

CALLER: OK.

SCHLESSINGER: Don't take things out of context. Don't double N -- NAACP me. Tape the --

CALLER: I know what the NAACP --

SCHLESSINGER: Leave them in context.

Never mind that she's already apologized for her blunt language, Sharpton & Friends are desperate to prove they're still relevant in today's fast-changing cultural landscape.

And despite millions in backing from George Soros and other wealthy individuals on the far left, "progressive" smear groups have yet to bag a conservative talk host (as in permanent cancellation).

Removing Dr Laura from the airwaves might justify their sad existence, leading to lucrative future contributions from billionaires and continued employment for hundreds of generally-useless "progressive" malcontents.

THAT'S what Robert Gibbs meant by "Professional Left"! This is primarily about MONEY, not race.

Even more annoying is the extreme reluctance by spineless "conservatives" who are busy making excuses for not mentioning this story today. "She's brought this upon herself" and "she's not one of us" are what we've heard most often (during past flaps). Avoiding the debate out of fear accomplishes nothing.


Unlike the "nappy-headed" Don Imus Show incident (which truly DID come across as mean-spirited and racist), Dr Laura is simply remaining true to form here, with a longstanding tough-love approach to advice talk. Schlessinger advocates overcoming sensitivity as a means to finding happiness.

Beyond that, however, one senses real frustration emanating from Dr Laura over racial hypocrisy in the Obamist era. As her rant continues, it resembles venting as much as advice for the caller, who by that point is clearly upset.


The bottom line: we've elected a black president, yet silly cultural hang-ups remain that prevent an honest and frank discussion about race relations. Rather than promote this kind of constructive change, the Smear Patrol plays the Gotcha Game for fun and (especially) profit.

They're the REAL threat to American society, NOT Dr Laura, who is simply doing her job (to entertain, inform, generate ratings and revenue).
