Was Dr Laura Schlessinger treated fairly?
She used the "N" word several times on a show, not to call someone a name but to make a philosophical point. Two sponsors pulled over it
What do you think?

Re: Was Dr Laura Schlessinger treated fairly?
I've always loved Dr. Laura. I listened to the call and as expected, found her comments to be fairly accurate. Her "apology" was made the next day, and I found that to be acceptable, as well. Hopefully, her point won't be lost in all the hub-bub. It's too difficult for many to discuss without hypersensativity and emotionalism.

It's not hypersensitivity.
It's hyper-insensitivity.
Whatever point she was trying to make could have been made in a better way.
I actually called Advance Auto Corp HQ's letting them know about my displeasure with her and how I hope they would withdraw their sponsorship.
I may call others.

IF she was a black woman would you have still called?

If Dr. Laura was black and she said what she said, I'd find it very distasteful and would have simply turned her off.
I would have probably not received the email from "Media Matters" encouraging me to call her sponsors to express my displeasure.
I probably would just written her off as ignorant and would have not called.

Motel 6 and Government Motors are the sponsors who have "pulled support".
