http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/08/18/dr-lauras-history-of-ince_n_686427.html

1). Being Gay Is A "Biological Error"

2). She Compares The Word "Gay" To The Word "Gook"

3). Most Gay Men Are Pedophiles

4). She Gets Reprimanded And Yanked From Television

5). Feminists "Destroyed" Motherhood

6). Abortion Is "Sucking It Into A Sink"

1. what an ugly soul.

I spit on her - she is disgusting beyond belief.

Hope that paycheque makes up for your screaming nightmares one day, Ms. Laura.

[RockaFowler]

5. Perfect word for her - UGLY

Your words have consequences

[Archae]

2. Bartcop is going to have a field day.

He's been savagely anti-Dr Laura for years and years.

[bluestateguy]

3. I support her right to say those things

But it is not right to say them.

[csziggy]

11. She can say whatever she wants - but no one has to listen or support her while she does

Apparently enough sponsors were pulling out of her show that whatever company held her contract was deciding to not renew it. So Dr. Laura's whole "First Amendment Right" justification for leaving was ass covering bull hockey. Why am I not surprised?

[ladywnch]

13. and she doesn't have the right to a public microphone to spew her

ugliness from.

This is America. We are free to say whatever we want (and accept the consequences) whenever we want. Nazi's are allowed to hold rallies in public. This shrill, shriveled, dried up piece of used jet trash can spew whatever venom she wants to spew -- and we can all turn our backs to her, laugh at her, ridicule her or flat out ignore her....those are OUR rights. She will be relegated to using facebook, fauxnews, and twitter to reach her "fans" who need their daily does of hate - much the same way Sarah Failin Palin does - and look how well she's doing these days (0-5 on the endorsement shtick).

Face it, she's lost, she knows she lost and now it's all about spin control and saving face. She's washed up/out.

[defendandprotect]

14. No one has the right to spread intolerance and hatred for a group of people . . .

women, homosexuals, people of color -- whatever --

and that includes Christianity or any other patriarchal religion preaching

these hatreds from their pulpits!

[drmeow]

4. I'm getting pretty tired

of the Reich wing misusing the 1st Amendment. The 1st Amendment says the GOVERNMENT has not right to silence you. Public opinion giving you a major smack down and your private sector employer pressuring you to resign because you've become a liability is NOT a violation of your 1st Amendment rights.

[RockaFowler]

6. Carrie Prejean said the same thing

They have no idea what the Constitution is or what it's about. Oh yeah except the 2nd Ammendment. Boy they all know that one!!

[drmeow]

8. Notice none of them ever sue

that's because they KNOW they can't win! They use it to manipulate the base who are as ignorant and stupid as they want them to be. I suspect Dr. Laura knows EXACTLY what the 1st Amendment says.

[CarlaLevin]

9. Actually, Carrrie Prejean DID sue!

But her case was settled out of court, as I recall? Something about a sex tape? LOL

[drmeow]

10. She sued a government

organization for violating her 1st amendment rights?

She sued an international company for libel, slander and religious discrimination.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

7. I see it a couple times a day on DU.

"OMG! Obama is squelching my first amendment rights to criticize him! I'm a victim!"

[libodem]

12. and then there are

The xxx rated pictures of miss virginal pure as the driven snow moral judgement maker all over the Internet. Must have been a college lover who took the naked pictures. When she gets too high and mighty I just go have a look and snicker. (not really)

[mitchum]

17. Not a college lover, but an older married professional mentor

Further proof that she didn't use her brains to get ahead (or to give it)

[Javaman]

15. what an ugly worn out individual.

I pity her.

[MerryBlooms]

16. What a wretched pathetic creature.

How does someone completely lose their heart to hate?
Sad in a way ...
