mid-week politics
development
last week we talked about the doctor laura situation of course your and were
ran from eleven times
if you have in the following that situation the long and short of it is a
a african-american woman called in to doctor lawrence show
wanted some advice about her interracial marriage is married to a white man she
is married to a white man doctor laura procedures used the n_-word eleven times
in the say
if you can't have a sense of humor
about race you shouldn't marry outside of your i'd save your race essentially
as what she said i don't think that and she went on to quit
even though i don't think shel quintessential be black back possibly
with a black coastline the style
the video that our video clip last in the last week since we didn't win that
segment at about ten thousand views on youtube and close to a hundred and fifty
different comments
people are
on both sides of this issue with doctor laura but in the context of the
discussion i mention that
c_n_n_ ann anderson cooper had called
al sharpton
to discuss the insane and i said listen
al sharpton has a racist past
and i pointed out three different
anti semitic an anti-white incidents without sharpton and i said in our just
doesn't seem like he's the best person to be talking about this i don't know
why he is the arbiter on race is that fair to say
that's what happened that's what happened
many people are saying i'm racist for criticizing al sharpton now bear in mind
we didn't even discuss
al sharpton race all i said was you know i don't know that he's the best person i
cited specific examples and tons of the emails interestingly enough
are racist themselves many of the emails and youtube comments about
the doctor laura at the situation are very racist comments
so cheers one email that i got
white people should shut up about racism
an upset
to me that sounds like a racist email doesn't not
like white people were immune to racism
i don't know what the our units
here's another one being a white kid in a studio thinking that because you have
low pigment that automatically make through the voice of black people unless
you're black
don't talk
number one i'm not like that that that's one funny thing
according to
the according to the united states census i'm considered hispanic first of
all so we should clear that up and i'm certainly not
a white person sitting in a studio but to me the email strike near as racist
now some people do agree
some people say you know what
you're absolutely right
al sharpton has a bizarre past and i don't agree with him being
the spokesperson
whenever the n_-word is used i agree i'm black and these two sharpton jesse
jackson annoy me
because they're not concerned with the black community at large but with
promoting themselves personally they make me sick
also that woman doctor laura is a racist who makes no attempt to help the caller
who just want to help of the relationship
she thinks that all black people are foul mouth and word using obama voting
baby mommas she is a lunch all blacks into one lousy special interest group
group i'm glad she's quitting
so it's a split it's a split some people seem to it
agree that that al sharpton is
has a
checkered past shameless off promoter
and maybe a shameless self promoter some people agree doctor laura is a racist
and some don't
uh... i'm sarah palin is supporting doctor laura whatever that means again
we talk to the beginning of the show sarah palin apparently
getting herself that involved in as many
areas of comentarios possible including this and here is a tweet from sarah
palin doctor lowered don't we treat
reload
steps aside because her first amendment bright seized ceased to exist thanks to
activists trying to silence
isn't american not fair
and here's another one doctor laura even more powerful and effective without the
shackles
so walkout
watch out constitutional obstructionists and be thankful for her voice america
so set up a lancer seems to be confused has confused about the first amendment
as doctor laura
member ductile or send her first amendment rights were violated
because people complained in were offended again the first amendment lets
you say whatever you want
and she certainly said whatever she wanted to say
first amendment does not address whether people can be offended by that and sarah
palin seems just as current as confused about what the first amendment is
and uh... we know that i mean in the past when remember when she was
criticized for spur saying obama is pallin around a terrorist during the
election lewis
how could i forget if that had laughter that happens here's a quote from her if
the media convince enough voters what that
that that is negative campaigning for me to call barackobama out on his
associations
then i don't know what the future of our country would be in terms of first
amendment rights in our ability to ask questions
without fear of attacks by the mainstream meets free media so clearly
cerebellum has been confused for a long time
being criticized by the media is not a violation of the first amendment cerra
hey to break it to you end
she seems to have the same confusion that doctor laura has does she not louis
uh... inouye
they both seem to think that
if you were criticized for something you said
your first amendment rights have been violated which is an absurd stretch out
a doctor or sheet
where she forced to quit known epidemic run a behind-the-scenes she was it
certainly did not seem that way she had a contract
uh... i don't believe doctor laura was forced to quit by any means absolutely
not
unclear confusion of of what the first amendment means
on this ground zero mosk issuer of course the lower manhattan community
center if we're living in reality remember newt gingrich's comments last
week about nazis take a listen
and this happens all the time in america
nazis don't have the right to put out a list sign next to the holocaust museum
in washington we would never accepted japanese putting up a site next to pearl
harbor cut there's no reason for us to sharpen marceca next to the world trade
center
apparently newt gingrich's comments were so outrageous
that even pat buchanan
is saying newt gingrich went too far take a listen to pat buchanan saying
newt's just see he's just going too far on this one
favorite drama
and it's a political opportunist what newt is doing is he's trying to get out
and be more flamboyant and more
uh... charismatic if you will and more controversial dancer paley who is his
primary challenger if he gets into iowa and new hampshire
she will take all his oxygen and a lot of his support if she doesn't ron
he wants to move into that opening joe in my judgment in the republican
primaries and how do you get more attention than sarah palin who's very
good at this is to go two steps further i mean i think when the nazis into the
arguments is always absurd in american politics because there is no valid
comparison there and secondly you know you bring that and that's all we start
talking about so i think newt went too far without comment but i know why he's
doing
this is the same pat buchanan
who once asked the age old question did hitler want war
in a column that he wrote
this is the same pat buchanan who dabble in some out-and-out holocaust denial
in his death
he's saying you went too far
what do you like
uh... i i try to analyze it too much rain
either of these two men starts saying things buchanan is also known for
recently complaining that they were too many jews on the supreme court
and for pointing out that white americans think they're losing their
country
and they are right because of the number of hispanics that are a
better it better in the country
here's one hundred-percent right that's the thing newt gingrich did go too far
it's not a valid comparison
and i'd just idont understand maybe what's going to be on lee thing i can
think of
is that pat buchanan is upset
that newt is stealing his act which is the hitler nazi comparisons if that's
the only reason i can't think of louis that pat buchanan would come out and
criticize newt gingrich
i think everyone's taken a page out of that book
at some point or it seems like a we stay every other week we've got some quick
someone making a nazi comparison on both sides it actually happens
