From an August 18 Los Angeles Times article:

A week after igniting controversy with racially charged comments on her nationally syndicated radio show, advice guru Laura Schlessinger went on “Larry King Live” Tuesday evening to announce that she plans to leave the program when her contract runs out at the end of the year.

“I want my 1st Amendment rights back, which I can't have on radio without the threat of attack on my advertisers and stations,” Schlessinger said.

Schlessinger drew fire last week when she got into a discussion with a woman who called in to get advice on what to do about racial comments made by relatives. Schlessinger suggested the caller was “hypersensitive” to racism and observed that many African Americans use the very racial epithet that they hate hearing non-African American use. Schlessinger used the N-word repeatedly in making her case.

Talk radio host Dr. Laura Schlessinger announced Tuesday night that in order to “regain my First Amendment rights” and to no longer have to “live in fear” she is stepping down from the show on which she used the n-word repeatedly in a tirade with a black caller.

The 30-year radio veteran made the announcement “not to do radio anymore” on CNN's “Larry King Live” one week after she used the n-word 11 times when a black female caller sought advice on handling racist comments from her white husband's friends and relatives.

Dr. Laura Schlessinger, the conservative talk radio commentator under fire for repeatedly using a racial epithet, announced on Tuesday that she was ending her long-running radio show.

No stranger to controversy, Dr. Schlessinger has been under intense pressure in recent days following an exchange with a caller on her radio show last week in which she used the racial epithet -- the so-called N-word -- 11 times. The caller, a black woman, was complaining that she was married to a white man whose friends and family members frequently made racist comments in her presence. Dr. Schlessinger responded by arguing there was a “confusing” double standard -- that blacks could use the epithet freely while whites could not.
