Freepers turn on Dr. Laura
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2073235/posts

I'm sick to my stomach. Although I knew she was going to have to do this..she does take a point of view and she does stick to it, I'm still just sick to my stomach. And for those here who dismiss this woman, you couldn't be more wrong..her books sell like wildfire, her shows sell out and alot of women take what she says as the gospel.

She did say she would still vote for McCain, but she said she wished there was a third party to vote for.

And for those of you who want to attack me for reporting this here, please, please direct your anger elsewhere. I'm not the problem.

I'll post the blog when she uploads it. It's not there yet, but she said on her show she' put it up.





Remember that Dr. Laura posed nude without considering the consequences

Dr. Laura is an idiot.

Dr. Laura is unyeildingly consistent. Unfortunately, that attitude sometimes results in stupidity amazingly similar to zero tolerance policies.

It was to be expected.

seriously. HER youthful mistake is forgivable, but not bristol palin’s?

Years ago I used to like her show a lot—she was good at giving tough love to her callers, but there was some love to go along with the tough. Then she seemed to, over time, get more interested in berating people than providing advice and help.

Obviously I don’t know what she said, but if she was berating Bristol Palin, well, considering past indiscretions, I don’t think Dr. Laura is one to be throwing stones, now is she?

Laura is a bitter little woman, who God only knows why anyone listens to her.
She would not know the right thing to do if it hit her in the behind.
And another thing if you knew she would be wrong on this issue why did you listen?

Dr. Laura is a BIG LIB!

Hey, thanks for updating us Hildy, and I wouldn’t worry about what that shrew has to say, she’s a self-righteous witch who does more harm to the conservative cause than any good she may accomplish.

And ‘Doctor’ Laura is still embarrassed to this day about those nekkid pics of hers that made it on to the Internet.

She’s a pissant, (w/apologies to pissant) I would rank her in urgency about where I rank dog droppings in my front yard, I just step around it.

And the dog droppings have more character anyway, and actually fertilize the grass.

1. I liked her one book
The Proper Care and Feeding of Marriage. I thought it had a lot of great, practical advice for improving one's marriage. And I'm a guy. My wife liked it too. And one of my best friends, a total Obama fan herself, loved it as well.

6. They didn't say exactly, which made the reactions even that
much more hilarious.

4. Hey Lurking Freepers! Here's a cluebat:
Edited on Tue Sep-02-08 03:34 PM by distantearlywarning
Nobody is automatically a "lib" (or anything else) just because they happen to be critical of a person or a political label you have psychologically attached yourself to. The meaning of "lib" is a lot more complicated than "has criticized someone associated with a person with an (R) after her name".

To spell it out more plainly, Dr. Laura's condemnation of Bristol Palin in no way makes her a "lib". Nor does it make her a "commie", a "pinko", a Muslim, a Francophile, a hippie, an Obama supporter, left-wing, progressive, an atheist, or any of the other groups you love to hate.

Actually, it makes her the same narrow-minded, socially conservative bitch she always was (i.e., indistinguishable from most of the posters at Free Republic). It's just that you've finally noticed how truly horrible she is because now she's attacking one of your own. Welcome to the reality the rest of us have been living in all this time. Dumbass. :think:

8. Dr. L's advice is good in regards to family and relationships
but she needs to stay out of Politics. Luckily, the Bristol Palin thing is exactly what she says will happen when the parents aren't there to take care of their kids, so the new conservative hero is a family values nightmare.

10. "Doctor" Laura does not have a degree in anything related to family counseling..
And her "advice" is so often horribly wrong that I'm surprised you are on DU.

Anyone who would arrogate themselves to tell others how to run their lives based on few minutes of one sided conversation on the phone is an idiot with a vastly over inflated sense of self importance.

You do know that nude pictures of "Doctor" Laura are all over the intertubes, eh?

You do know that "Doctor" Laura was estranged from her own mother for years and her mother died and was not found for quite some time, not until the body was well decomposed?

12. About Dr. Screech's nude photos
I gotta add this: the big problem about her nude pics is that they were taken by her then-lover during their affair...while he was married to somebody else!

And yet she goes on the air condemning women who have affairs and pre-marital sex. :puke:

14. I was waiting to hear what she had to say
about one of her own. She is never crazy about mothers returning to work and sending the babes to daycare, no one should ever have children unless the dad can support the family, guys should not even date unless they have enough money to support the family, she hates public school, she is very pro adoption for the girls who fail the abstinence only plan, and mostly Sara Palin is a failure because she went back to work 3 days after Trig was born. She often tells callers to get themselves sterilized if there are any financial or social problems. That really is what America needs is a big drive through sterilization mill for the poor. We don't deserve to have kids.
