Sarah Palin Supports Dr. Laura, Tells Her ‘Don’t Retreat … Reload!’

08/19/2010 7:38 am 4 comments

Sarah Palin has used Twitter to share some advice with Dr. Laura Schlessinger, the talk radio host who apologized and decided to retire from her highly-rated program after using the N-word on the air 11 times in 5 minutes.

Palin’s advice: “don’t retreat…reload!”

It’s a breathtakingly tone-deaf bit of provocation — even by Palin’s standards.

Dr. Laura, as she’s known on her radio program, quickly came under fire for her remarks of a week ago. She immediately acknowledged the mistake and soon announced that she would end the show once her contract expires later this year. She currently commands the largest audience of any woman in syndicated talk radio and overall her ratings are among the top five hosts in the nation.

Palin posted two messages directed towards Dr. Laura. The first one stated:

Dr.Laura:don’t retreat…reload! (Steps aside bc her 1st Amend.rights ceased 2exist thx 2activists trying 2silence”isn’t American,not fair”)

The second message posted on Twitter stated:

Dr.Laura=even more powerful & effective w/out the shackles, so watch out Constitutional obstructionists. And b thankful 4 her voice,America!

Palin's short term memory has apparently quit as well. @sarahpalinUSA did you forget your own comments a few months ago, or is it just that your words don't apply to your own hypocrisy? http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2010/08/pali...

Sooo….by reload failin' @sarahpalinUSA means continue to repeat the racial epithet intended to demean Americans of color and African descent? Thank you Tea-partly Republican party for having your representative — Palin does represent you through her endorsements and commentary, right? — enlighten us as to how you really feel about 36.6 million of the US population. Hopefully we will remember that this fall and in 2012.

Palin is a bigot and all the poison that comes out of her mouth will take her down — she will self destruct.
