What if Dr. Laura's n-word rant was planned and staged?
There seems to be some deliberate race-baiting going on among RW media. FOX seems to want to get everyone focused on race. Fire up the racist flames among white conservatives, so that they will be motivated to vote, and when they vote, they will of course vote Republican.

How likely is it that the caller was a paid shill with a staged question, and that the exchange was more or less scripted?

2. Good point.
It appears she may have taken a lesson from Rush Limbaugh, in that the more obnoxious you are, the brighter the spotlight.

5. Coulter became more outrageous when she started fading from public attention too.

3. To be sure, a ton of really stupid racial comments lately. 14th am stuff, "terror babies' Dr. Laura,
There seems to be a confluence but I'm not speculating about motivations and scripting. It's possible but there's as much evidence for it as Rep. Gohmert has for "terror babies" at this point.

4. Well, that's possible. She had dropped out of the news with so many OTHER rw assholes out there.
