Did anyone here honestly believe Dr Laura wasn't a wingnut BEFORE this incident?
All this handwringing is kinda funny to me. She's an idiot and it's been obvious for years.

Maybe she'll finally shut up. After she gets taken off the air.

1. She is a wingnut, but of a different stripe than some of
the Baggers.

Many of the Baggers are circus wingnuts. They go for the big-splash publicity.

Dr. Laura is a practicing bigot. She's smart enough to have her own radio program but unlike Glenn Beck, she deeply believes she's right.

IMO that makes her even more contemptible.

5. there was a time when she was a live and let live woman, until.....
she was syndicated by the RushNut syndicators and found out she could get higher ratings, therefore more $$, bygoing all anti women, anti gay, anti male. worked for her cuz her ratings are equal to that fat draft dodging junkie himself.

10. The shock that people express is shocking to me
Edited on Fri Aug-13-10 10:07 PM by Bluenorthwest
She's been a raving, froth anti gay bigot for years on end, and many, many people have called her out, and attempted to put a stop to her hate speech, but clearly no one really cared about that, they did not even see it as a warning, and now they acted stunned that a hate speaker speaks hate. All of this could have been avoided, had the majority community not discounted the gay community as they tend to do when we point out bigotry. I mean, we tried to stop her. We really did.

15. All that hate influenced her lousy advice. I read she demanded her own mother take a typing test to
work for her and that lead to their estrangement.

Wouldn't surprise me that she'd treat her own mother like crap.

16. Just read on Wiki that she had an affair with a married father of three,
lived together for nine years, and announced her pregnancy at their wedding.

Why is it always these types who are the most judgmental?

19. I listened to her briefly about fifteen years ago and it was clear she was a whackjob back then..
She would glibly hand out advice to people that would blow their lives apart with utterly reckless disregard.

Completely without the slightest shred of personal introspection or moral self-doubt.

22. She said the N word on her show about a gazillion times
Then when she apologized she made a snide remark about marrying out of your race.

I'm good. How are you? :hi:

25. She is a very sick human being,
hypocritical, icky, and maniacal about her opinions. Sheep and unconscious to the issues people adore her. :thumbsdown:
