Laura "had" to resign? No. She CHOSE to resign.

She chose to resign through duress. You clearly don't understand when that happens.

Sure sure, unless you wear an SEIU t-shirt.

WAY different context.

If the union is corrupt then I guess they could lynch mob or gang stalk the person who said the racist words kind of like the village idiots you see in the old timey movies.

Bill Maher has been with more black women in Hollywood than Dr. Laura - he gets a pass.

Anytime you can use a word, and I can't, that's wrong.

I don't care about context. You can't see me, how do
you know what 'not' to say to offend me?

I'll tell you what. Anytime someone tells me what I can,
and can't say, THAT offends me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dr. Laura didn't have to resign. She quit on her own. (Just like Palin.)
