Let me state up front, I love D.L. Hughley … always have. He’s genuinely funny.
He can also be raw (close your ears if you can’t take the MF-word). Most of all he’s authentic, and I believe this is a man with a good heart.
He was one of the few people during the Imus debacle a couple of years ago who was honest about what had happened.
When the country got caught up in its faux outrage because Imus uttered senseless, unkind, gratuitous comments about the women’s basketball team from Rutger’s at 6:30 one morning, D.L. was there, essentially saying, “It was a joke! Can’t you all grow up?”
This video is a response to those who wanted him to apologize about the his Rutger’s joke on the Jay Leno show. What does this have to do with Dr. Laura. Everything!
I’m in agreement with D.L. People seem to be most upset because Dr. Laura used the word 11 times, as if there’s a quota. Again, I’m in agreement with D.L. Free speech has a zero sum quotient. Period! You believe in it or you don’t. “Ya, buts” aren’t allowed. Don’t know what a “ya but” is? “Ya, I meant it here, but I didn’t mean it there!”
The unintended consequences of PC babble or hyphenated dope speech are profound. Using hyphenated non words to replace a word that offends some people, gives the offending word more power.
Instead of erasing the offending word from our consciousness using the silly ass substitution implants it. Why? Because stopping to replace an offending word with a hyphenated non word takes extra time … and thought … ensuring the offending word never goes away!
Using hyphenated non words is akin to carrying around the skeleton/dead carcass of an animal for 100′s of years … always dragging that sucker behind. Why?
To show the horror of a particular act or circumstance? Or perhaps to use as a tool … a tool to show how you became a victim of something that never personally happened to you. Ya, that’s it! My, what a good tool to have on one’s arsenal of why I am where I am in life. We all know how victim card must go hand and hand with the racism card … right?
Evil is as evil does. Prohibiting free speech, even ugly hateful speech in a free society is evil. There are no “ya, buts” about it!

CNN’S ANDERSON COOPER & ROLAND MARTIN TRY TO DISCREDIT “BIRTHERS” END UP LOOKING LIKE DUMB & DUMBER!
I never watch CNN and more. Why bother, the network is sooo predictable?
Well, I woke up at 2:00 am this morning and found myself watching Anderson (love those tea baggers, smirk, smirk) Cooper try to discredit Arizona State representative Ash because of his vote to require a birth certificate of all presidential candidates in his state.
Cooper’s performance was slightly manic when trying to discredit anyone who has asked why Obama cannot demonstrate his citizenship at the time he was born.
Actually, Cooper’s repetitive points were, “Obama’s a citizen and anyone that questions that is nuts“. My favorite Cooper quip was. ” some people think the moon is made out of cheese and that doesn’t mean they are correct.” Anderson keep your day job, you won’t make it as a comedian.
Here’s what you didn’t hear Cooper discuss:
My favorite is Roland Martin, who a mere 10 minutes after Cooper’s exchange with Ash, called Birthers stupid … a class guy that Martin. Apparently, he’s upset because some people think Obama is a Mooslum. Now, I don’t know about you, but I’ve thought a lot of things about Obama. Not once did I think he might be a Mooslum!
