Psychologists blast Rush Limbaugh for mocking traumatized Kerry voters

[dave502d]

Mental health officials in South Florida blasted Rush Limbaugh on Monday, saying the conservative talk show host’s offer of “free therapy” for traumatized John Kerry voters has made a mockery of a valid psychological problem.
“Rush Limbaugh has a way of back-handedly slamming people,” said Sheila Cooperman, a licensed clinician with the American Health Association (AHA) who listened Friday as Limbaugh offered to personally treat her patients. “He’s trying to ridicule the emotional state this presidential election produced in many of us here in Palm Beach County. Who is he to offer therapy?”

10. I can't take credit for it...

but it is a good name for him

[BlueJazz]

2. I've said this before on DU and I'll say it again...

I believe in peace and harmony but if I ever had a chance to get that disgusting piece of human garbage in a room, I would make sure he never hurts anybody again. (And I've got a feeling a few of my fellow DU'ers would want to help)

3. What business does that drug-addled misfit have

commenting on anyone else's state of mind?

4. Perhaps he can offer "therapy" for drug addicted, draft dodging rich folks

I never cease to be amazed at the hypocrisy of these GOP sacks of crapola. But his listeners, his "oxy-morons" who hang on every word are blind to it.

5. We ain't traumatized...

We're just restin'

[neebob]

8. He'll just mock the psychologists.

[blm]

9. Because they want to TALK about their woes instead of eating Oxycontin

by the handfuls?

Does Rush really want to have that conversation?

11. Let's all forward this to Rush...

"He's a Nazi!"

He can dish it out, but I doubt that he can take it.

12. Paging Doctor Fanon, Paging Doctor Fanon...

I suppose that Flush thinks that there are no consequences for his careless speech. In the short run, it certainly doesn't look like there are any.

In the longer term, I believe that even the gentle, empathic moderates of 2004 are going to be feeling sufficiently downtrodden and unforgiving that right-wing ideologues and their court jesters had better kiss notions of sweetness and light from their erstwhile victims when the tables turn.

When Progressives rout enough Republicans from office and competent public prosecutors get to work, I doubt that Republicans and their "conservative" friends caught plundering the public's money, betraying the public's trust, or breaking campaign laws are going to find much compassion, restraint, or forbearance from the rest of us. We'll definitely be looking for catharsis and scapegoats.
