Dr. Laura - Shut Up and Talk!!!
She is a marriage and family counselor and has always failed miserably when trying to talk about anything political. This just shows you that people need to stick with what they know and not just start spouting off about whatever, whenever, just because they have the forum where people are listening.

Dr. Laura, stick to the marriage and family counselor, I actually think you do OK in that arena, but finally the political stupidity you spout has come to bite you in the ass.

3. She's not just a political failure...
but she is also, IMO, a failure at marriage and family counseling. If she's still following the same script she was when I last heard her back in 1995, that is.

I gave up listening to her vile version of "counseling" when I heard her verbally and emotionally abusing people calling in to her show.

5. She isn't a "marriage and family counselor," that's the thing

She has a Ph.D. in Physiology. Even Dr. Phil has a Ph.D. in Psychology (even if his license was yanked for ethical reasons).

And, you think she does okay in that area??? Seriously?

6. She's not a marriage and family counselor, she's a kinesthiologist or some such.

9. Clearly, she is not a marriage or family counselor.
How is it OK to tell a young married woman that when her houseguests hurl racist taunts at her that it is her own fault for marrying outside her "race?"

Clearly she is just a bigot and a blabbermouth, and not a counselor of any legitimate sort.

11. Well, most Hollywood actors don't have any business in politics either
Edited on Wed Aug-18-10 02:27 PM by galaxy21
But they're usually praised on here for getting involved, so...

I mean, generally,everyone's entitled to an opinion. No matter how cluless they sound. Andit's good she can be exposed for her repulsive views.

12. .


Dr. Laura to leave radio amid N-word controversy
Schlessinger, under fire since using a racial slur on her radio show, won't renew her contract. 'I want my 1st Amendment rights back,' she says, citing threats.
