Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...


I first discovered her years ago...the advice she gave was simple and logical, and I liked her. But the more I listened, the more I heard her prejudice on certain issues, and the more I became aware of her just saying "do THIS" like it was so easy for people to do what she said, no empathy for people's weaknesses and how hard it is to break out of the mold. I stopped listening.

Then when I heard about her BACKGROUND, I was disgusted.

Now she's spewing her blind hatred and bigotry around, yet still I know there are those of the right-wing persuasion who see her as an "authority figure". It sickens me.
Quote:

Talk radio host Dr. Laura Schlessinger has issued an apology for saying the N-word several times during an on-air conversation with a caller this week.

Schlessinger was referring to a call she got on her show Tuesday from an African-American woman who said she was married to a white man and was getting fed up with her husband allowing his family and friends to say things that she felt were racist.

Schlessinger asked the woman to give her some examples and then said that she thought the examples the woman gave were not racist. The woman then asked about the use of the N-word.

Schlessinger said "black guys use it all the time. Turn on HBO, listen to a black comic, and all you hear is n---, n----, n----." The talk show host went on to use the word at least three more times during the call.

Schlessinger and the caller began bickering back and forth toward the end of the call, and the caller said she was upset that the talk show host had used the word.

Schlessinger suggested that the caller was hypersensitive. "If you're that hypersensitive about color and don't have a sense of humor, don't marry out of your race," the talk show host said.

Dr. Laura is a slimy, racist bitch. Of course she's right wing.

She's a helluva one to disseminate "advice":

-She was married briefly in her early twenties: divorced.
She had admitted-to affair later, married the guy and again: divorced.

-Laura Schlessinger is not a licensed medical doctor (she does not have an M.D. degree). Schlessinger's Ph.D. is in physiology, not psychology, and her critics have characterized the show name (Dr. Laura) as deceptive.

-Her California Marriage Family and Child Counseling (MFCC) license has been inactive for years, but she often refers to herself as "a licensed therapist."

-In 1998, naked pictures of her were posted on the Internet by ex-lover Bill Ballance, who gave Schlessinger her start in the radio business in 1974. At first she denied it, then unsuccessfully sued. Soon after this incident, Schlessinger added the Internet to her list of improper behaviors by callers. She then told callers there was "nothing useful on the Internet."

-Until 1997, Schlessinger was very supportive to gay callers during the show. She often stated that she took issue with Christian religious leaders who were opposed to gay relationships, and said that it was cruel to deny love and happiness to gay couples. She renounced this view in 1997 and embraced the traditionalist view she had previously rejected. "I'm sorry — hear it one more time, perfectly clearly: If you're gay or a lesbian, it's a biological error."

-In 2000, she got a TV show; it didn't last a year. The Canadian Broadcasting Standards Council said:
Quote:

her consistent characterization (in episodes reviewed) of the sexual behavior of gays and lesbian as "abnormal", "aberrant", "deviant", "disordered", "dysfunctional", "an error" or the like constituted abusively discriminatory of those persons on the basis of their sexual orientation.
In May 2001, Schlessinger advised a caller not to let a boy with Tourette's Syndrome attend a wedding.

-On one occasion she attacked, by name, a 12 year old girl because Schlessinger disagreed with the girl's award-winning essay for a statewide contest.

-In December 2002, Schlessinger's mother Yolanda was found dead in her condominium, her corpse having been there for months. Schlessinger's previous advice to callers had been to "honor thy father and mother". She went on to make statements that disrespected her mother after her death.

-She converted to Judiasm in 1996, to Orthodox Judiasm in 1998. In July 2003, Schlessinger announced on her show that she was no longer an Orthodox Jew.

These are some of the things upon which she is unyeiding and very verbal:

-Dads should work, moms should not.

-Divorce, when there are children, should not occur unless there is Abuse, Addiction, or Adultery (her "three A's")

-Live-in arrangements outside marriage ("shack-ups") are immoral.

-Women who engage in sex outside marriage are "presenting themselves virtually as unpaid whores."

-Teenaged girls who wear croptops and other revealing outfits are "sluts."

-Dating should not begin until age 17 or 18.

-Couples should not marry until their late 20s.

-Adoption should be only by two-parent heterosexual families, with a stay-at-home mother.

-The pro-choice movement, especially Planned Parenthood, is "evil" and "deceptive."

-The American Psychological Association (APA) promotes pedophilia.

Given she first married in hear early 20s, worked while married, had an affair out of wedlock, was divorced twice, and uses a degree in physiology to call herself "doctor", that pretty much kills a lot of those beliefs as being other than hypocritical.

That's just a taste, but it's pretty obvious her opinions come from her own life to the exclusion of any objectivity, she's quite content with her hypocrisy, and given she's taken as an "authority figure" where advice is concerned, she's a dangerous joke.

Freedom is Important because People are Important


Hello,

This Doctor's views are lamentable and often wrong. I cringe at some of her statements and positions.

However, avoid the same trap.

This:

"She converted to Judiasm in 1996, to Orthodox Judiasm in 1998. In July 2003, Schlessinger announced on her show that she was no longer an Orthodox Jew."

Is meaningless. A person's path to faith or God or belief or disbelief is entirely their own.

And This:

"Dr. Laura is a slimy, racist bitch. Of course she's right wing."

Is wrong. This implication is just flat out wrong. Just as when people say X is a horrible person so of course they are Leftist.

Don't be like those you rail against.

Howard Stern used to have on guests who used the "N" word all the time, now he's a has-been who went to the "Sex in the City 2 " opening. Dr L is harmless, just ignore her and she'll go away. Just like the "Air America" radio network.

P.S. You sure have alot of time on your hands down there in the gulf, shouldn't you be bizzy wipeing oil off pelicans.
