Dr. Laura son describes self "godless, crazy." Site depicts bleeding raped women, boys
Dr. Laura said "We raised our son to be a warrior."

No, you raised your son to be a filthy sick puke and now the whole world knows.

http://www.sltrib.com/ci_5934072

Deryk Schlessinger's Web site indicated the 21-year-old soldier is stationed in Kandahar, Afghanistan, where, the site's author writes, "godless crazy people like me," have become "a generation of apathetic killers."

It also included several graphic cartoons. In one of the stick drawings, a top-hatted man laughs as he rapes a bound and bleeding woman in front of her family. In another depiction, a man forces a boy to perform oral sex at knifepoint as the child's mother pleads for her son's life.

3. Well. despite raising a very sick and hedonistic son,
she at least has her son fighting in the great right wing occupation. Unlike so many of her fellow neocons, she at least has a family member in the fight.

But he is one sick family member.

42. I think he is just trying to point out the hypocrisy of other neocon shills
This one, at least, has a family member serving... although, with these revelations, it scares me that she does.

4. Here are a couple ironic quotable gems from the "Good Dr." ...
When her son announced his plans, Dr. Laura instantly replied, "That is a brilliant choice."

She meant it. "I brought my son up to be a warrior," Dr. Laura said in an interview with the LA Daily News. "I think what he's doing is so important, and so noble, that I'm willing to face what I need to face. I'm so proud to have produced someone with such character -- willing to put his life on the line.”

On her show, Dr. Laura is always exhorting people to do the right thing. And I think she is doing the right thing here. "Don't cry. Be proud," Dr. Laura advised military moms. "You produced a man -- every mother's got to be proud of that. I am." And that is why I’m worried about Dr. Laura. Because Deryk is not only putting his life on the line. He is also putting his father’s life on the line. He is putting his mother’s life on the same line. It makes me think about that old essay that says that being a parent means letting your heart walk around outside your body for the rest life. Being the parent of a military person means letting your heart traipse all over Iraq and Kuwait and Afghanistan.

5. Man, that's just sick
not surprising though. I've met many "family values" conservatives who are completely hypocritical in their actions.They'll claim that "family is everything" while not supporting their family,beating their wives and children, having affairs, having children who fail in school, are drug addicts, etc. They are some of the most delusional and dysfunctional people on earth.

6. Reading the article and Ducktor Laura is bat guano crazy. Look at this...
Edited on Sat May-19-07 01:28 PM by BleedingHeartPatriot
Laura Schlessinger's appearance in Utah last week included a visit with Army families at Fort Douglas. In an interview with The Tribune, she said, "We raised our son to be a warrior."

After her Utah visit, Schlessinger received criticism for telling The Tribune that she didn't want to hear the complaints of military wives whose husbands are deployed. "He could come back without arms, legs or eyeballs, and you're bitching?" Schlessinger said. "You're not dodging bullets, so I don't want to hear any whining."

Schlessinger later wrote on her Web site - (link removed)- that she was trying to communicate her belief that military spouses shouldn't complain to war-deployed family members, who have more pressing concerns. "I never whine to my son when he is able to call between missions," she wrote.


Dear God, she's crazy as a loon. MKJ

edited to add, no offense to loons, beautiful non crazy birds. In fact, no offense to bat guano which most certainly has some role in the chain of life, unlike Ms. Laura's role in the chain of pain and misery.

7. Wasn't her son
One of the 7 82nd airborne paratroopers selling the sex on the intarwebs? On a gay military themed website. Anyone else remember this? only 3 of the 7 were kicked out of the army, the other four were "disciplined."

9. As much as I dislike Laura, I think the army and the war are more responsible for her son's attitude
Deryk Schlessinger's comments sound no different than those of many others who have been through this godless war and the training necessary to kill without feeling. His mother, sadly, is quite naive about what it takes to make a killer, especially in a war where the enemy is "everywhere" and everyone is a target.

is satisfied with the way he turned out. She is another one who has done so much to screw up people's lives. She's nothing but a hypocritical piece of crap.

Once he was a child, a beautiful child
A child of clay shaped and molded
Into what he is today
But who is to blame for this child of clay

16. She looks like a pitted prune
with a vile personality to match. Watch out if you try to find pictures of her on the web. A lot of them have airbrushed out the wrinkles and then there are a lot of the nude pictures she had taken years back. Nasty! :puke: :puke: :puke:

27. I appreciate your pairing of these pictures.
Edited on Sat May-19-07 07:57 PM by BleedingHeartPatriot
BTW, did the nude photo require additional animation? I don't know why her free spirit (albeit, the "if I get naked, I can get what I want" spirit) needed more enhancement.

If you wanted to add a spiked tongue to her present visage, though.... :evilgrin: MKJ

15. It's appalling that people regard her as some kind of counselor.
I've occasionally listened to her over the years and there is nobody I can think of who's LESS qualified to offer emotionally healthy advice. Dr. Phil is light years better and he's got some 'issues.' Laura is a dysfunctional codependent on steroids. She literally PREYS upon her callers for her own self-centered perversions. There isn't the slightest degree of nurturance or affirmation of the other's abilities in her interactions - sheer judgmentalism and posturing. She'd be the Parent From Hell - completely devoid of any comprehension that the young human requires their own navigation system and substituting her own God-like system of punishments and judgments. Any child of hers is virtually guaranteed to be neurotic at best. It's a nightmare world she creates - and she's welcome to it.

24. Thanks. It's truly disgusting that her emotional dysfunctions are elevated as some kind of 'model'
... for the mildly sociopathic neurotics in this country. It's no surprise she's a right-winger - part of a reactive cult of blame-shifting and parasitism incapable of distinguishing between true self-esteem and perverted egos addicted to overcompensation and predation. While there are complementary approval-addicted maladies on the left, the atrophied sense of innate self-worth that seeks to destroy it in others is appalling.

17. Such BS: " it may be possible that our enemies are actually behind this"
"Mike Paul, spokesman for Laura Schlessinger, released a statement which said, in part, "We hope all news media outlets will respect his privacy for his safety and the safety of those serving with him." In an interview with The Tribune, Paul suggested that the page could be a fake.
That was a contention echoed by Army spokesman Robert Tallman, who said "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."

22. I'm sure it's all the Dems fault
That her kid wound up the crazed little weasel he is - it must have something to do with "secularized" public schools, or maybe he was traumatized by seeing Jimmy Carter on TV, or something. Couldn't have a thing to do with being raised by a self-righteous, hypocritical, uncaring twit who fancies herself some sort of role-model of a Spartan mom. Oh, no.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn this pious fraud sent her son off with the admonition to return "carrying his shield or carried on it".

34. If I was this this soldier's commander, I would:
1. Disarm him.
2. Send him for psych evals.
3. Probably end up chaptering him out of the service for being a kook.

I had to do this to soldiers before. Not easy and not pleasant but some of them just crack under the pressure of combat. This kid is cracked.

It is unknown whether his life before the military had anything to do with his current illness, but I would be very surprised if this kid didn't have serious mental issues before signing up. With that freak of a mother, it's virtually certain.

37. I think he was raised Jewish until Dr Laura
Edited on Sun May-20-07 11:21 AM by ikojo
left Judaism because the Jewish community didn't worship her as do many in the more conservative Christian denominations.

It shouldn't come as any surprise that her son might be a tad off his kilter having been raised by such a fickle mommy.

http://www.beliefnet.com/story/131/story_13159_1.html

In her August 5 radio broadcast Dr. Laura Schlessinger, one of America's most listened-to radio hosts and high-profile Orthodox Jews, publicly distanced herself from her adopted faith claiming that she no longer found Judaism fulfilling. She informed her 12 million listeners that while she still "considers" herself Jewish, "my identifying with this entity and my fulfilling the rituals, etc., of the entity-that has ended."

Of her conversion to Orthodox Judaism, Schlessinger said: "I felt that I was putting out a tremendous amount toward that mission, that end, and not feeling a return, not feeling connected, not feeling that inspired."
