BUT ... without a doubt if this was on Fox News, people would be burning down their studio by now.
Exactly. Liberals here and elsewhere would be having a TDS type race-fit.

Do you think she should be fired for whatever she did?

Piranha fish look sort of like guppies to me, but hey, ymmv, yada yada.

So you want to judge liberals with the same yardstick they use on us.

Two wrongs make a right. News at 11.

Me too.

Nakkers. The L.A. Nakkers.

Tell the world this, don't think you will go far, genie is out of the bottle so to speak.

You must have not checked out the World Wide Web too much, her facebook page, probably her Twitter; they are calling for her head.

Now be honest. Would you say the same thing if Imus or Rush made the same exact mistake? We have seen those on the left reach from here to Pluto to find a way to use the race card for anything someone on the right says. This would have been a feeding frenzy that would make Great Whites and Piranha fish look like guppies.

You are correct, middle-aged mom. I have transcribing headphones and audio-enhancing software. She said neekers.

WOW!

I know there are racists of all political persuasions, but this conforms with my observation of liberal elites often being hostile toward black people. They talk a good game, but rarely live the walk in my experience. In this case, she got caught talking the racist talk. Damn. This is sick.

I'm usually willing to give people the benefit of the doubt, but for that word to even be on the tip of your tongue for such a slip is pretty damning.

More on the incident:

Don't expect the same kind of outrage as you'd see if such a "slip" was heard on Fox News
I am going to give her the benefit of the doubt...and no I would not give it to a white right person.

She seemed to pause before she said it-weird. She needs to be fired.

Doesn't that make you racist. Wrong is wrong no matter what the color or being a lib or cons.
