How do you feel about what this extremely cly person said?

Dr. Laura uses the "N" word 11 times on her radio broadcast, is very appropriately condemned for being so thoughtless and cr and resigns. Sarah Palin tells her not to quit, but to fight for her 1st. amendment right of free speech to say what she wants. Is it just me, or is this just more proof of how unbalanced Palin's mind is. How can ANY Republican, in good conscious support Palin after this? She has stuck her foot in her mouth 100 times over, but this definitely is an indication that she doesn't know, or care about what's right or wrong and just says whatever comes to her mind before thinking about it? How much more will the right wing do, to undo being respectful and humane?
