Compassionate conservatism, Dr. Laura-style.
Right-wing radio host Laura Schlessinger, “in Salt Lake City on Friday to speak to Army families at Fort Douglas, said she was tired of hearing the complaints of lonely and overwhelmed military wives whose husbands are deployed. ‘He could come back without arms, legs or eyeballs, and you’re (whining)?‘ Schlessinger asked before taking the stage at the base theater to host her daily program on ethics, morals and values. ‘You’re not dodging bullets, so I don’t want to hear any whining — that’s my message to them.’”

what a dumbass
May 14th, 2007 at 11:00 pmI thought Dr. Laura went away. She should, if she hasn’t yet.
May 14th, 2007 at 11:00 pmHow does one comment on something as cruel as this?

May 14th, 2007 at 11:06 pmThe radio dial on my old chevy was broke and for a week I listened to this holier than thou puke on my way home from work…First pay day I got a new radio and put it in my self…Listening to dr. laura is like listening to a syrupy coulter.. If that’s possible….Geeees…..Blessings
May 14th, 2007 at 11:07 pmSo I take it this means Dr. Laura will be reporting for duty any day now, to show us all how a true patriot takes a bullet in the gut, or eye socket for that matter, for the Homeland.
Frau Schlessinger, I salute you!
May 14th, 2007 at 11:11 pmLaura, soldiers losing legs,and arms is a not a made up story.
May 14th, 2007 at 11:14 pmIt is a fact and deadly serious…there is no whining here, Laura..!!
WTF — I thought Eva Braun died in the bunker?!?
May 14th, 2007 at 11:18 pmShe’s seriously insane. Seriously. Anyone who is this devoid of empathy is a sociopath, at minimum. With today’s civil rights laws, it’s impossible to simply commit her to an institution, but someone really needs to pull the plug on the microphone if nothing else.
May 14th, 2007 at 11:19 pmEat shit and die, Dr Laura.
May 14th, 2007 at 11:23 pm“Babara, I thought you told that stupid son of yours to not post under his own title”? ” Hell, even I care about this”. So, what is your point there, smirkey? Please, go ahead, this will be fun…and stupid. Why do you hate the troops and their loved ones? If you are here just to stink up the place, ok, but give our troops some respect. OK? OK….
May 14th, 2007 at 11:27 pmDr. Yenta, Michael Wiener Savage, Debbie Schlussel, Michael Medved etc. etc. the disinformation wing of Radio Free Israel
May 14th, 2007 at 11:27 pmThe sickness that is infecting the the souls of the Bush apologists is metastacizing into a something so rotten and foul as to be beyond explanation.
They hate everyone and everything that does not agree with them in lockstep syncronicity.
The American soul is withering on the vine along with them.

May 14th, 2007 at 11:36 pmLaura Schlessinger, you dried up, hagged out, elephant- gray butted slut. You are a world of awful. You are ten pounds of shit in a five- three- one-pound sack. A filthy, leaky sack.

May 14th, 2007 at 11:38 pmDr. Laura whines when her Chinese take-out is 5 mins. late

May 14th, 2007 at 11:45 pmNo offense, but why does anyone care what that stupid POS says?
May 14th, 2007 at 11:54 pmMy one experience with Dr. Laura was by accident. I was in a rental car and turned on the radio. I heard her tell a woman who was obviously deeply depressed (she had said she could hardly get out of bed in the morning) that she was nothing but a whiner and a slacker and she had no one to blame for her problems but herself. And she continued to berate this poor woman for about 5 more minutes. When I got to my destination I called the radio station I had been listening to and told them what I thought of “Dr. Laura” (she supposedly had a doctorate in physical education). The lady I talked to said that they had complaints about her daily but the owner of the radio station loved her.
I haven’t thought about her in years but now that I think about it, she reminds me a lot of Ann Coulter. They are both very evil women.
May 14th, 2007 at 11:54 pmTP & Feminists love whining to big daddy govt.
TP & Feminists would fail to exist without being married to big daddy govt.
Got a problem? TP & Feminists just call on big daddy govt.
That’s whining.

This “jonny” has a real problem with women. Quite unbelievable, actually.
May 15th, 2007 at 12:12 amGOPers are supposed to support the Iraq Fiasco War and never complain about anything. They are stupid sheep.

What the f*ck are you talking about? Who’s whining? One guess: you, dumb@ss.

Well, with a little polka dot troll weiner, I’m thinking even his regular pro would be nervous.
May 15th, 2007 at 12:54 amDr. Laura, byatch, I hope somebody gives you a reason to whine big time, and not because you broke a nail and are having a bad hair day.

Hey, if he’s buying I’d let him be happy. :)
May 15th, 2007 at 1:09 am#42 - Shane
Oh yeah, she was complaining because her sis-in-law was concerned about her husband. What a frickin’ b*tch! As if it was any of her business to get into her brother’s marriage.
Did you see yesterday that vv alleged she was at the San Diego Zoo, and she had shown “Prince Valiant” that some of her comments had been deleted? She was upset about it, and said goodbye to TP. Of course, I see she was here today.
She’s at the zoo on Mother’s Day (so she says), and she’s checking TP? Huh? Why?
May 15th, 2007 at 1:12 am« She’s at the zoo on Mother’s Day (so she says), and she’s checking TP? Huh? Why? »

The difference between Israel and America is this:
The Lebanon war, which is deeply unpopular in Israel, sparked a bid by the opposition to impeach the PM after a report came out sharply critical of how the war was handled. It failed, but it was attempted.
The Iraq war, which is deeply unpopular in America, sparked a bid by the opposition to take impeachment off the table, even after several reports sharply critical of how the war was handled.
The Lebanon war, was at least vaguely justified by the kidnap of Israelli military personel, the Iraq war was justified by outright lies.
America is America’s responsibility, and besides there are louder voices in America’s political landscape speaking from Saudi Arabia.
May 15th, 2007 at 2:09 amI listened to Dr. Laura one day when she told a marine whose twin brother had died in Iraq that he should go back, even though he was now taking care of two families. When he was trying to explain the circumstances, she only admonished him with “everyone has a story” and basically shamed him into committing to returning to Iraq himself. Such compassion.
May 15th, 2007 at 2:17 amAndy, I do believe “Doctor” Laura should go back to porn. Hey, there are a lot of perverts that like elderly porn.

Obviously you do. You took the time to read the article and post a comment on it.

May 15th, 2007 at 2:50 amI say this as the wife of a retired Air Force Officer, daughter of a retired Chief Petty Officer and sister of a retired Lt. Colonel:
She should say something like that to my face. I would do her serious injury and calmly wait to be arrested.
And WTF? Her kid is like royalty???
Delusions of grandeur at the very least.
May 15th, 2007 at 3:23 amDr. Death Laura is just toe-ing the Zionist-Capitalist Party line, shovelling the BS her bosses want her to shovel. All the misery that has come to the American hoiploi and the death that’s come to the Iraqi people is all for the Greater Glory of Israel and Exxon-Mobil.
May 15th, 2007 at 5:32 amIs TP still censoring the message boards? Makes you wonder how they’re manipulating what you all are thinking about, doesn’t it?
May 15th, 2007 at 5:35 amYep. Sure enough…TP IS censoring these boards! Don’t want to focus too many so-called Progressives minds where the blame really lies about this war. Bush is your scapegoat and Fall Guy. What a fraud TP is.
May 15th, 2007 at 5:49 amWho controls the media, folks? It’s a simple question. The same folks who chose NOT to follow the 2000 election FRAUD in Florida, leaving Greg Palast and the BBC to do it. The same folks who hire people like Dr. Laura, and Wolf Blitzer and Hannity etc. and then totally distort media coverage to support the Rape of Iraq.
May 15th, 2007 at 6:16 amThe same folks who will be installing Rudy Giuliani in te next election, whether or not he wins the highest number of votes. Folks as goes your once free media, so goes your elections.
Mark my words Rudy Giuliani will be then next president of the United States, and as he made Manhattan safe for wealthy supporters of the Rape of Iraq, he will make the rest of America safe for them too.
And, yes, the term wealthy supporters of the Rape of Iraq IS a euphemism.
andy @ 48. I don’t understand did the marine call the gym teacher? If he did he apparently knew who she was and what her stchick is. What did he expect compassion?
May 15th, 2007 at 6:17 am“Schlessinger, whose son Deryk is in the Army, railed against Congress, saying that her son’s tour of duty overseas . . . had been extended because of recent arguments over war funding.”
Where’s Media Matters when you need them??? Talk about allowing a baldfaced lie to go unchallenged! The extension of the tours has NOTHING to do with the funding legislation, and Herr Dr damn well knows it. She is the one endangering her son by allowing herself to be an utter shill for the horror that these thugs have wrought. May she rot in hell with the rest of them.
May 15th, 2007 at 7:00 amHey shirely,
and yet your post slipped past the evil censors. I guess you have one of those computers with invisible ink…moron.
May 15th, 2007 at 7:10 am“lonely and overwhelmed military wives”
sounds like a scenario for a porn film…
May 15th, 2007 at 7:15 amI have had the unfortunately opportunity to meet this “Dr.” Laura on a personal side. She is a vile, twisted, spoiled, egotistical, pain in the ass. What she puts on the air is actually her “good” side, if you can call it that.
She alienates everyone she ever comes in contact with. If her pretty boy-boy toy happens to disagree with her, out the door with him! I’ve seen it happen.
May 15th, 2007 at 8:35 amDr. Laura is a nutritionist, not a family therapist. So anything she says outside of carrots and calcium supliments is considered her whining.
May 15th, 2007 at 8:35 amShe’s NOT QUALIFIED to do what her job. Of course, that makes her a typical Republican.
May 15th, 2007 at 8:51 amFrom the article: Schlessinger’s publicist said the controversial talk show host’s visit to Fort Douglas is one of several visits she has made to bases across the country, with more planned later this year.
She could not be speaking at these bases, to these wives without an invitation of the post and or the wives and the consent of the leadership. Why would anyone be surprised that when they knowingly invite a rabid dog into their home that it bites them?
And Schlesinger is not a nutritionist. The article says that her PhD is in physiology but it is actually in physical education. It aslo says that she was a family therapist in Cali. If that is true then any Californian looking for a therapist might want to check very closely the credentials of any potential therapist.
May 15th, 2007 at 8:54 amShe was also involved, as posted above, in Porn activity.
Of course, she’ll explain how that’s how she met God.
I didn’t know God watched Porn.
May 15th, 2007 at 9:06 amI don’t listen to Dr. Laura–never have. I don’t need her therapy. But I can’t speak for the previous sixty-odd posters, most of whom ascribe to same monolithic group-think which would unthinkingly bash Dr. Laura without pausing for even a nanosecond to ponder the wisdom of her advise. What she is saying is absolutely true. These women need to butch up and stop feeling sorry for themselves. They need to steel themselves while living as productive and fully as they possibly can. We’re at war.
May 15th, 2007 at 9:11 amSuit up JOSE!

May 15th, 2007 at 9:40 am‘You’re not dodging bullets, so I don’t want to hear any whining — that’s my message to them.’â€
Dr. Laura’s message to the soldiers dodging bullets: “You haven’t been hit by one, yet, so you have nothing to complain about. Stop your whining.”
To soldier whose leg was blown off: “That’s nothing. You’ve still got another leg. Stop being a big wimpy baby.”
To soldier who had all four limbs blown off: “So what? You’ve still got a head. You’re still alive. Suck it up. You’ve got nothing to complain about.”
To dead soldier: “Okay, you can complain now. But no crying! And I don’t want to hear a peep out of your family. I don’t care if they’re being evicted from their apartment right now. Things could be a lot worse. Whiny little babies.”
To right-wing chickenhawk having a tantrum over having to pay taxes while a war is going on: “There there now. You just come and rest your little head on Auntie Laura’s shoulder. You poor thing.”
May 15th, 2007 at 9:43 amI agree with Shane in #38. You’ve really hit on something, Lora. Wow.
Comment by Zooey
Thanks for the honors, Zooey and Shane. But I feel humble, as I really didn’t think it took much effort to see the similiarity between VileVenus’ complaints about her”whining sister-in-law” and other so-called “whining” by progs/liberals and the very hypocritical Dr. Laura. I’m tempted to say “they’re like Siamese twins joined at the hole in the heart,” but I don’t want to offend respectable Siamese twins.
May 15th, 2007 at 9:44 amNone of the Greatest Generation whined in public about their husbands at war.

Idiot.
Is this “dr. laura” the same family therapist who was estranged from her mother for 14 years?
Is this “dr. laura” the same family therapist whose mother died alone and decomposed for months before anyone discovered her body?
How can anyone take relationship advice from this “expert” who cannot even heal her own relationships?
http://www.bettybowers-dot-com/laura.html
http://en.wikipedia-dot-org/wiki/Laura_Schlessinger
May 15th, 2007 at 9:59 amYes, Pete, this is also the same “family values” Dr. Laura who had an adulterous affair with LA-based disc jockey Bill Ballance and later had another one for nine years with the man who ultimately became her second husband, while they were both still married to their respective first spouses.
May 15th, 2007 at 10:22 amIsn’t her hypocrisy sort of the essence of today’s moral crusaders of the right ring– e.g. henry hyde and gingrich pillory clinton while carrying on their own affairs, Ted Haggard, etc.? It’s so sickeningly transparent.

May 15th, 2007 at 11:34 amWhat is it about scumpublicans that forces them to be so absolutely revolting?
May 15th, 2007 at 11:51 amMy SIL’s admiration for LS in the late 1990’s, was one of the first indicators to me that she had turned into a right wing apologist. She has two younger family members in the military and we are traitors since we don’t support King Geo and his court.
Haven’t spoken in years and I don’t intend to in the face of her choice of communicating with LS & Rush Liebugh type of insults.
As the younger one in the Army is deployed in dangerous areas, it is probably just a matter of time until he comes home minus limbs or in a coffin. Or totally messed up psychologically. I’m going to be sure and save this quote. Of course then the young man will have assumed the role of martyr and stubbornism will prevent her from ever admitting she was wrong. Bush, the family values prez - his policies promote strong families!
Since A Coulter is currently somewhat quiet, “Dr” Laura, figures it’s a good time to make her move. I still boycott firms that advertised locally when her TV show was on.
May 15th, 2007 at 12:14 pmW.A.F.B!!!! (what a f*@king bit%h!!!)
May 15th, 2007 at 12:30 pmLora #73, yes, this is the same “I’m my kid’s mom” Laura who took a small child to the radio station with her and let him run wild, even into the studios of others who were on air broadcasting.
May 15th, 2007 at 1:09 pmLora #73, this is the same “I’m my kid’s mom” Laura who took little Deryk with her to work frequently at KFI, and let him run wild through the radio station. He even barged into the studios while other radio hosts were on air, broadcasting.
May 15th, 2007 at 1:11 pmThis is how the left argues–every post a personal attack on Dr. Laura,
some even taking shots at her for what she did 30 years ago, when, in her own words, was “that slut on the floor.”
As they grow older and wiser most people naturally grow more conservative and trend to the right as they have had more time to think through the issues. Not one person here has demonstrated they have thought through the doctor’s advise. Perhaps they think it would be best for these woman to wail through the night in their loneliness and make everyone they come into contact with miserable and guilty, including their husbands in harms way.
May 15th, 2007 at 2:13 pmHave you seen Derky’s HOT SEX wifie HOT SEXY lay outs? She’s gonna be a big HOT SEX STAR. No kiddin’– Megaroos is her name. Doc is sick of her whining and wants to dump her. Derky deserves a classier squeeze.
May 15th, 2007 at 5:24 pmYes, and it’s the same “Dr. Laura” who, while having an affair with a married man, allowed him to take nude pictures of her. She abuses her fans daily and they just love it.
Self-loathing. That’s what Dr. Laura sells.
May 15th, 2007 at 7:34 pmFrom the News Article: “During the pre-show interview, Schlessinger advocated two years of obligatory military training for all Americans, suggesting that such a program could have limited the bloodshed at Virginia Tech last month when a gunman killed 33 people. She said she was not advocating a draft, however, saying only people who want to go to combat should actually go.
Schlessinger’s publicist said the controversial talk show host’s visit to Fort Douglas is one of several visits she has made to bases across the country, with more planned later this year.
The radio host said she hoped to help military families through their troubles faced during wartime.
“People listen to me,” Schlessinger said. “I’m trusted and respected.”"
Read it here: http://www.contracostatimes.com/search/ci_5887644)
Another look at compassionate conservatism? Another Pharasee in the Temple, boasting about all the Good Works they have done?
What is truly amazing is people actually believe this hateful woman, they are blinded by her own public relations machine and refuse to accept that this is NOT the teachings of Christ, but rather a perversion of those teachings.
Read the news article and then ask yourself this question. Where in the New Testament did Jesus spew such vile statements about people who were suffering?
May 16th, 2007 at 11:26 amWhen a fraud feels deep inside like crappy liver fluke they are compelled to say “People listen to me, I’m trusted and respected.” and of course, your DNA is like royalty. New Testament Schlessinger is not. She flunked Orthodox Judaism because she went sailing on Sunday, among other violations of law. She’s not a doctor and not religious.
May 16th, 2007 at 7:38 pmWhatta bitter hag she is. Too much coffee, cigarettes & scotch!
May 16th, 2007 at 9:04 pmGeez…the majority of you people are as pathetic as your finger pointing. Right wing, left wing, whatever….I can’t wait until you ridiculous cowards are wiped out by the opposition to your unrealistic current views.
May 20th, 2007 at 2:27 amSailing is okay on Sunday for Orthodox Jews, but not on Saturday. Dr. Laura slunk away from Orthodoxy because 1) she wasn’t getting enough public strokes from observant Jews, and 2) it, y’know, cramped her style.
Hey null (great name!), antiwar progressives hold the MAJORITY view in today’s America. We call hypocrisy when we see it, and that makes us the opposite of “ridiculous cowards.”
May 20th, 2007 at 2:34 pmI wonder if Schlessinger ever got a bikink wax? Judging from those nude photos, she sure needs one!
May 22nd, 2007 at 8:45 pmWow. The quality of comments here, all the name-calling, and the many references to Schlesinger’s age and looks…all really say a lot about the level of liberal intelligence. You’re not a very bright bunch, are you? Most of your comments are very, very, childish and very, very stereotypical.
