Laura Schlessinger's son

[fromthebluegrass]

Has anybody seen this reported anywhere else? I apologize if it is a d_b.

Apparently Dr. Laura's son had a very violent MySpace account. Who knows -- maybe it was faked. Regardless, is this news to you?

 

[BTExpress]

Gee, did he include the nude pictures "my kids' mom" posed for several years ago?

 

[zagoshe]

The left is so pitiful -- They actually take joy in beating up and/or piling on an absolute nobody like Dr. Laura.

 

[BTExpress]

An absolute nobody who has her own radio show, who had her own TV show, who writes dozens of books, who preaches to millions of people every day and is a frequent guest on CNN, Fox News and other networks.

A hypocrite who will call someone a **** at the drop of the hat despite her own slutty past.

A hypocrite who will scold a woman who works just to make ends meet while she has always worked despite being married to a rich man and never lacking for one thing in her life.

A hypocrite who tells other people how to raise their kids and who may (or may not) have raised a person of vert questionable character.

Other than that?

Yeah, an absolute nobody.

 

[zagoshe]

A RADIO personality who has made millions with her tough love bull****.

And how is what she does any different than what Oprah does, or what Ricki Lake or hell even Jerry Springer does or Dr. Phil --- all of them are entertainers selling their own brand psycho-babble -- but Dr. Laura is the only one who rankles the lefties and politically correct and therefore she is cast as some sort of female Rush Limbaugh.

My favorite part is this quote from the Army representative:

"It may be possible that our enemies are actually behind this. Our enemies are adaptive, technologically sophisticated, and truly understand the importance of the information battlespace," Tallman continued. "Sadly, they will use that space to promulgate and disseminate untrue propaganda."

What a load of crap. Does anybody really think that our terrorist enemies would focus their energy on trying to embarrass Dr. Laura Schlessinger's family? Yeah, THAT would certainly be the most effective tactical use of their "technological sophistication" to help bring America to it's knees.

Hope someone follows up on this, I'd be curious to know if the site was really her son's.

Take on the day!

What I remember the most about Dr. Laura was the line on the Daily Show about her (I can't remember if it was Jon Stewart or Craig Kilborn who said this)
"Her audience consists of abused women who were never abused until they called the show."

And how is what she does any different than what Oprah does, or what Ricki Lake or hell even Jerry Springer does or Dr. Phil --- all of them are entertainers selling their own brand psycho-babble -- but Dr. Laura is the only one who rankles the lefties and politically correct and therefore she is cast as some sort of female Rush Limbaugh.

You don't get it.

It's not what they say. It's the hypocrisy, stupid.

Dr. Laura can preach to a mom on food stamps to be a stay-at-home mom . . . but only if she herself is/was a stay-at-home mom.

Dr. Laura can scold someone for questionable behavoir and for picking bad mates . . . but only if she doesn't have nude pictures of herself plastered all over the internet that a bad mate posted.

Rush can scold drug users . . . but only if he never uses them.

Understand?

I doubt it?

Only perfect people are allowed to give advice.
Ever.
Therefore, we all should just STFU.

Good post.

 

[spnited]

I really don't care about Dr. Laura or that this sicko is her son.

What I do care about is that he is a solider who had a page that included:
"cartoon depictions of rape, murder, torture and child molestation; photographs of soldiers with guns in their mouths; a photograph of a bound and blindfolded detainee captioned "My Sweet Little Habib";

Howe long before this asshole goes off and shoots up a few dozen people?

While I'm certainly no Dr. Laura or Rush fan, I've gotta quibble with your reasoning there, BTE. Often the people who've made the same mistakes in the past are in the best position to preach/scold about not doing those things. If I couldn't scold my kids for doing the same **** I'd done before, that would pretty much rule out parental discipline for the rest of their lives.

I do see a problem, though, with the way Rush/Laura sanctimoniously acted as if they were people who would never have done any of those things until they got busted.

Spnited, your post reminded me of Tony Dungy's son, whose violent Web site became news after he killed himself. Politics aside, when someone posts stuff like that it should get someone's attention.

 

[spnited]

My point wasn't to be political, pall. The big thing here is not that he's Dr. Laura's son, it's that he apparently has some serious problems that maybe someone in our military should address.

Rush often talks about pulling himself by the boot straps in this business so to speak and uses it as an example of how everybody in this country has the opportunity to do the same.

And that's exactly it.

They don't preach/scold as people who have made mistakes. They act as though they are above ever making any mistakes.

Dr. Laura has zero sympathy for the poor woman who needs to work or the woman who got pregnant. To Dr. Laura, the first one is selfish, and the second is a ****.

Rush has no sympathy for someone hooked on painkillers. To Rush, all drug addicts (except himself) belong behind bars.

He also was able to get out of serving during time of war and was at the front of the line of those who called Clinton a draftdodger.

Good thing there's no one preaching about global warming while flying around the world in a private jet.

Gore flies commercial whenever possible. He was even held up by security at the Nashville airport not too long ago.

But you see, when you are trying to deliver a message to 6 billion people, it requires you to crisscross the planet . . . occasionally by private jet. I know you'd like to see Gore try to bicycle his way from Nashville to Mount Fuji, but it just ain't happening. And if the occasional trip in a private jet can help a fraction of 6 billion people change their habits, then it would be the greatest return on an investment since the Louisiana Purchase.

Good thing there's nobody advocating helping the poor while building 28,000 square foot mansions on 100 acre tracts of land away from the little people in bad schools.

Last time I checked Bill Gates lives in a pretty big house . . . on a pretty big tract of land.

I don't think anyone is questioning Mr. Gates' commitment toward helping impoverished people just because of the size of his residence.

Must be amateur night on the right wing tonight.

 

[Double J]

I really have never thought of Dr. ***** as right-wing or left-wing before. I just think of her as a ****ing wingnut. Let's talk about her on that basis, as opposed to the usual liberal-vs-conservative horse****.

 

[Simon_Cowbell]

It's really a good thing those whackos on the right don't have anyone from the left to expose as hypocrits. Man, would we look silly as we point of the neo-con hypocrisy while not acknowledging our own pitfalls which, thankfully, don't exist.

Good thing there's no one preaching about global warming while flying around the world in a private jet.

Gray matter, wherefore art thou?
