I shouldn't be shocked at this, but I am. After all, Dr. Laura, isn't a psychologist and has never pretended to have any sensitivity to others whose needs don't align with her narrow right-wing agenda. To be clear, I'm not shocked at Laura's thought process (if you can call it that), obvious insensitivity, or that she believes Black people are hypersensitive and should develop a sense of humor providing a wall around their psyches so impervious that being called the "n-word". won't get through. I don't use that word and don't have many friends (if any) who do. I am surprised at her willingness to basically admit her racism and that she thinks President Obama's election was a free pass to spew whatever racist drivel came to her pathetic, diseased little mind without any fear of recourse. Her use of that word, the many times she used it here, sounds almost cathartic -- almost as if she was just biding her time waiting for the opportunity to use it. It sounds like it felt good. I find it frightening that many right wingers take their marching orders from the likes of Schlessinger and other right-wing radio commentators. Why would a rational person listen to these idiots? Wait... no need to answer...
