She just announced on Larry King's show that she will be leaving her show at the end of the year following a racially-charged incident.

That is good news since a lot of people like me don't listen to talk radio.

HereI usually don't like her but this is one time where I definitely agreed with her.

I could've seen her leaving her show without the incident, as she was supposed to have a show on OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network) that launches January 1, 2011. She must be out of the lineup for that network now, and I can't say I'm sorry or sad in any way.

Now she claims her free speech rights are being trampled on. OK people, here it is: the right to free speech protects you from government arresting you for simply speaking your mind. However, it doesn't prevent you from criticism when others disapprove from what you say. Plus, she quit the show...how did anyone trample on her rights?

However, it doesn't prevent you from criticism when others disapprove from what you say. Plus, she quit the show...how did anyone trample on her rights? Yeah, this I'll agree with. She's really sounding like an idiot about it...not to mention it's just plain bad timing to stop the show now on her part. For one, if she's actually resigning on her own accord then everyone's going to think that she was forced to resign, but if they actually did make her quit the show, then she might as well just admit it. In any case, I'll miss her because I loved hearing her rip apart stupid people on air. (If you were stupid enough to call in, then you deserve what you get. Not to mention -- a lot of the callers, or at least the ones she played on air, were total idiots.) However another reason I liked her is she knew exactly what she could get away with, no more, no less, & she said it. This time she went over the top. She's right about the double standard about the n-word, but that isn't really what the call was about. So she did herself no favor by bringing up this tangent and then using it as an excuse to say the word 11 times. That being said...her show had been past its prime for a few years now. Maybe she staged this to get her final 15 minutes of fame. Who knows. |
