"TopCat, the only thing Dr. Laura did wrong was to talk over the caller." It's not like the caller didn't talk over Dr. Laura. There was absolutely nothing about what Dr. Laura said that would indicate she was a racist. On the contrary, she was trying to point out what a typical source of racism sounds like or looks like. She was trying to be instructive.

Other than that, I think if people read the transcript for themselves and listened to the audio, they will agree that Dr. Laura is not a racist. An overbearing talk show host, definitely, but not a bigot. Totally agree. And her success is partially due to her mannerism in dealing with callers. You can't be a wimp with callers and do the job she does. If you listen to MSNBC or CNN or NYT tell it, the woman engaged in a hate-filled racist rant. This is why these organizations have zero credibility anymore -- they are totally biased and you simply cannot believe anything you see or hear from them until it has been confirmed with a more objective organization.
