Dr. Laura starts dropping the N word on live radio.

Quote:

CALLER: Is it OK to say that word? Is it ever OK to say that word?
DR. LAURA: 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.
DR. LAURA: 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 n***** word, and I hope everybody heard it.
DR. LAURA: I didn't spew out the n***** word!
CALLER: You said "n*****, n*****, n*****" and I hope everybody heard it.
DR. LAURA: Yes they did, and I'll say it again: n*****, n*****, n***** is what you hear on HBO.
[Crosstalk]
DR. LAURA: Why don't you let me finish a sentence? Don't take things out of context. Don't NAACP me, leave them in context.

Are we -certain- Laura is a doctor? Maybe she's a doctor like Dr. Dre is a doctor.

360 is actually ok there also. The reporter could have stuck to his guns if he knew about Su(n) Lie Algebras.

Remember when I was like "conservatives have literally no idea what racism is or why racism is bad"?

Some other good quotes from this very mainstream right wing celebrity:
"My dear, the point I am trying to make...we've got a black man as president and we've got more complaining about racism than ever. I think that's hilarious."
....
"If you're that hypersensitive about color and don't have a sense of humor, don't marry outside of your race,"

Pretty safe bet. Maybe I can try emailing them and get them to retract the retraction!

If most Americans are idiots(which I think most itt agree with), and most Americans voted for the Dems, what does that mean. I'd prefer for Fly to answer this one.

Wow samsonh, you almost made it a whole post without creepily mentioning me.

Anyway, that means some idiots voted for the Dems. Do you have a point?

Around 129'391'693 people voted in the last election.

Unless you are counting American Idol votes, then yes, less than half voted.

In before goalpost shift of "those eligible to vote".

People uneligible to vote are completely irrelevant to the discussion, so no goalpost shift at all. Or are we going to count anything and everything that is irrelevant to the political process here?

Over 60% of voters voted in the '08 election. Last I checked 60% was over half.

I don't feel like finding the political cartoon thread, and I'm probably slow pony on this but:

Probably most think that they're a bad idea and only exist because of the pull of some farm-state Congress critters.

That, and the power of the Iowa caucus to induce blatant pandering.

So Der Speigel is reporting that there has been evidence released that Turkish forces used chemical weapons against the PKK in Kurish areas of southwest Turkey:

I have no idea why this isn't a big story yet (I haven't seen it on any major British or American newspapers yet - maybe its bured away from the front pages though).
