Dr. Laura Schlessinger has apologized after a shocking rant on her radio show this week during which she said the n-word 11 times over the course of five minutes.

In conversation Tuesday with a black female caller who was complaining about her white husband's racist friends and their use of the word, Schlessinger said:

Black guys use it all the time. Turn on HBO and listen to a black comic, and all you hear is n****, n*****, n*****. I don't get it. If anybody without enough melanin says it, it's a horrible thing. But when black people say it, it's affectionate. It's very confusing.

1. When Robert Byrd died, some Facebookers couldn't call him a racist

enough times because a while back, he used the word.

They're mum on "Dr." Laura not even saying "-ga" instead of "-ger" ...

of course, if they ever do, they'll be like "she apologized, let's get on with life". Something they never did with Chappaquiddick ...

3. Oppression is an ugly thing, right, Laura?

So, too, is ignorance.

--d!

4. Et tu, Laura?

Caught wearing the robes, eh?

Even worse, she (like most racists) has to use the "Stevie did it, too!" excuse. Would you jump off of a bridge if Stevie did it, too? Can't they at least be original?

If there were any questions about how she felt, they've all been answered. Hey, Laura...

6. I just heard it on Steph's show. (With bleeps.) Unbelievable!

These people show their true inner ugliness if given enough time, don't they?

She needs to be off the air.

9. I miss Steph so much!

They took away our progressive station, even after we elected a Dem Gov. and Prez!

11. You, like me, need Sirius/XM radio. And wow...Steph JUST NOW came out on the air.

She just said she's gay. And she wasn't joking.

15. Bless her heart!

Go Steph!

10. Where did they get this photo?

[saltpoint]

13. ...and why is she wearing a bullet necklace?

It's so, you know -- ultra Rambo.

12. She can apologize all she wants for using the word...

which was bad enough.

But then she tried to shame the person she was talking to (and other people offended by the word) by saying, basically, if you can't take it, and if you don't have a sense of humor, then don't marry outside your race.

What the fuck does "having a sense of humor" have to do with this?

What the fuck is so funny about that word, or using it, even in jest between blacks themselves?

Honestly, she must have something wrong with her brain.

14. God, I miss "West Wing"

You remember when Pres. Josiah Bartlett goes toe-to-toe quoting chapter and verse with that Dr. Laura clone - and proceeds to reveal her as the Bible-thumping bigot that she is!

Here's that clip from Season 2 - "The Midterms":
