Another conservative voice silenced.

Schlessinger said this was her decision, but she also said she had lost sponsors for her recent comments on race.

Outrageous! I heard her comments on a replay of the radio show and I don't think it was any big deal. In fact I agreed with her. We are seeing just how toxic political correctness can be. First the feminists were after her, then the homosexuals and now the blacks.

She's made a lot of enemies but I hope she reconsiders and stays on the air. I don't listen to her show however because I'm not interested in the type of show she does.

Define conservative.

According to this article, Schlessinger wasn't a real conservative.

“[A blog article] supposes that I ever quoted Leviticus that homosexuality is an abomination. That never happened. I repeat: that never happened. I never said that. I don’t believe that…."

“In fact, I was one of the earliest radio hosts to support organizations such as PFLAG (you know, Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays) and other efforts to encourage openness and acceptance of gays in their own families, much less society.” – Dr. Laura Schlessinger, “Setting My Record Straight about Gays,” June 22, 2010

“Another conservative voice silenced.”

No, simply an example of advertisers making a decision to no longer advertise on the Dr Laura Show.

And if you like, you are free to open your checkbook and keep Dr Laura on the air via advertising.

I guess she didn’t want to work for less money.

She has silenced herself.
