15. Unfortunately, far too many ignorant Americans agree with her.
From Wikipedia:

Nude photos
In 1998, admittedly upset that he was snubbed by Schlessinger at an event, former radio mentor Bill Ballance sold nude photos of Schlessinger<25> to media outlet Internet Entertainment Group (IEG).<26> Schlessinger had posed for the photos while involved in a sexual relationship with Ballance in the 1970s. IEG, known for distributing a sex tape of Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee, purchased the photos and subsequently posted them on its website which were later leaked to the general public. Schlessinger initially denied that the photos were of her, but then claimed a copyright interest in them in court. Attempts to have the photos removed from various websites failed after a court ruling stated that IEG had legally acquired the rights to the material. She later admitted that the photos were authentic, addressed the issue on her show calling Ballance a "mentor and friend", and said she was "mystified as to why this 80-year-old man would do such a morally reprehensible thing." She claimed to have possessed "no moral authority" when the photos were taken, citing her age at the time of twenty-eight and a painful divorce as factors contributing to her voluntarily being photographed nude. She added that she had undergone "profound changes over the course of my life, from atheist to observant Jew." The incident brought to light accusations that Schlessinger had been unfaithful in her first marriage, caused the breakdown of her second husband's marriage, cohabitated with him while unmarried, and intentionally conceived a child with him out of wedlock. Schlessinger had railed against infidelity, cohabitation, and intentional single-parenthood on her show, but never addressed that these were part of her personal life experience...

This is the person that presents herself as a God fearing protector of conservative family values. A person that literally screwed her way into fame and fortune. The same kind of trash as Bill O'Reilly who would call up his young female intern and describe in revolting detail how he was shoving things up his fat ass and masturbating. The dumb ass didn't realize that he was being recorded and she sued O'Reilly and FOX and made herself well taken care of financially for life. O'Really and Faux settled out of court, but it was leaked that the settlement was in the tens of millions. You would think that all these God fearing people would have abandon them. Not so since they are the epitome of hypocrisy just like the people they support. Just racist trash. But, their fans sure have made them rich trash.
