From Palin’s Facebook page:
Adversaries who have been trying to silence Dr. Laura for years seized on her recent use of the n-word on her show as she subsequently suggested that rap “artists” and other creative types like those producing HBO shows who regularly use the n-word could be questioned for doing so. Her intention in discussing the issue with a caller seeking advice was not to be hateful or bigoted. Though she did not mean to insult the caller, she did, and she apologized for it. Still, those who oppose her seized upon her mistake in using the word (though she didn’t call anyone the derogatory term) to paint her as something that she’s not. I can understand how she could feel “shackled” by those who would parse a single word out of decades of on-air commentary. I understand what she meant when she declared that she was “taking back my First Amendment rights” by turning to a new venue that will not allow others the ability to silence her by going after her stations, sponsors, and supporters.
I, and obviously many others, have been “shackled” too by people who play games with false accusations, threats, frivolous lawsuits, misreporting, etc., in an effort to silence those with whom they disagree. That’s why I tend to defend people who call it like they see it while others stop at nothing to shut them up…
And they do want us to shut up – which is why they do what they do. Liberals don’t want debate – they don’t want, at the end of the day, to live in a free society where we debate the merits of an issue. Liberals prefer a fascist society where everyone has to toe the party line and anyone who strays from the liberal narrative is hounded out of public life.
The basis for this is, of course, the liberals lack of understanding of truth – to them, there is no truth; everything is a social construct and they believe they’ve developed a superior construct to everyone else. To liberals, Dr. Laura subscribes to the wrong view and thus she must be silenced – her use of the “N-word” could be a lot of things, but it isn’t evidence that she’s secretly in the KKK or harbors racist views about black people. A lifetime spent helping people with their personal and social problems is reduced, by liberals, to the fact that she used the word. That is the act of hate, not the fact that Dr. Laura spoke the word.
But, liberals, your hour has struck. The political and economic system you have crafted over the past 80 years is coming apart at the seams. We’re going to first clear you out of DC, then out of those “commanding heights” of culture from whence you have destroyed lives and liberty. America will be restored – and, guess what?, you’ll like it better…freedom will be scary for you, but only for a while until you get used to it.
