On their sales page for Dr. Laura’s book, Parenthood by Proxy: Don’t Have Them if You Won’t Raise Them (later repackaged as Stupid Things Parents Do to Mess Up Their Kids), the rightwing “news” outlet WordNetDaily writes:
…
In her inimitable, straight-shooting style, Dr. Laura entreats parents to involve themselves in their children’s hearts, minds, and souls, to cherish and protect them, and to commit to the essential task of teaching them right from wrong.
Looks like the faux doctor, one-time exhibitionist (graphic link very not safe for work!), American Patron Saint of Hubris, and her kid’s mom, may not have done such a bang-up job in that “essential task of teaching them right and wrong” after all. The Salt Lake Tribune is reporting that her son, Deryk, now stationed with the U.S. Army in Afghanistan, is “under investigation for a graphic personal Web page that one Army official has called ‘repulsive.'”
The site, believed to be Deryk’s, reportedly featured “cartoon depictions of rape, murder, torture and child molestation; photographs of soldiers with guns in their mouths; a photograph of a bound and blindfolded detainee captioned ‘My Sweet Little Habib’; accounts of illicit drug use; and a blog entry headlined by a series of obscenities and racial epithets” and was shut down on Friday.
Color us stunned.
“Yes . . . FUCKINGING Yes!!!,” Dr. Laura’s adorable little bunchkin began one of his blog entries on the site, according to the Trib. “I LOVE MY JOB, it takes everything reckless and deviant and heathenistic and just overall bad about me and hyper focuses these traits into my job of running around this horrid place doing nasty things to people that deserve it . . . and some that don’t.”
And in other Rightwing Hypocrisy news this weekend, former family values champeen and South Dakota state Rep. Ted Klaudt was arrested Friday “on felony charges that include eight counts of rape involving foster children and former legislative pages.” The story is appalling enough that we don’t even wish to go into details here, so be forewarned if you choose to click on the link.
Beyond that, go take on the day!
Apparently MY family’s traditional values are quite different from those of the idiotic nihilistic fascistic Republicans in charge of the Executive Branch of the federal government, the majority of America’s big media outlets and most of America’s large corporations.
Americans of all political stripes must stand up en masse and say “I’ve had enough!”.
Laura must be proud, hes a chip off the the old block.
This thread is probably the closest fit for this tribute to the fallen falwell. . .
The neoCon infestation, iconized by Wolfofwitz, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Perle, Gonzales, Mr. “Heckuva Job” Brown, Scooter, Snottie, and preznit blush, have morphed the Grand Old Party into the Gang Of Perverts (GOP).
Like we haven’t been teaching that here for thousands of days, many moons, yes, even for years.
Can you hear wierd Al G. saying “‘power corrupts’ is a quaint idea, just like the US Constitution is a quaint document“?
Just a bad apple tree?
I learned early on about Dr. Laura. She was one of the early adopters of 100% censored feedback.
I used to listen to her show all the way up to the day that I actually tried to execute what she preached.
Wanna know what day that was?
That was the day I lost my girlfriend.
So no, her advice is not always right. I feel for those who can not think on their own, to resolve problems on their own. A one to three minute telephone call is not what the public needs to solve complicated problems.
You need to use your OWN INTUITION. You don’t need preachers and priests, you have the answers if you look inside yourself.
To be honest I dunno what her son has done or all that (I didn’t even read the fine articles)
I wonder what she thinks about Wicca? And 7 year handfasting? hmmmm? I’ll save you the research, she’d classify it as “shacking up”
And after years and years, her voice is still annoying as it always was, it’s too bad she never bought a lexicon or something cool to talk like a chipmunk!
What a poor misguided soul she is.
By the way I just got some Weird Al. I will be playing some on my show.
Stunned? Eh pfffft, didn’t even raise an eybrow. Reich-wing control freaks breed people like that. “Out of control” is part of the family dysfunction grab bag.
As if it weren’t bad enough that the homo-phobic ‘arch-hypocrite’ one-time physiologist (by the way, she’s NOT a Psychologist) ‘Pseudo-Dr’ Laura’s misanthropic pseudo-Judaeic vitriol has destroyed not only her own mother’s life (the poor old lady was found bludgeoned to death rotting on a dirty kitchen floor nearly 3 months after her murder—Dr Laura having NOT even spoken to her for more than a decade) but has added misery & mayhem to countless persons desperately coming to her seeking so-called ‘professional’ help with family problems on that hideously inane radio ‘talk show’ of hers (most of the vomit flowing from her painted caustic lips are so mindlessly jejune they are positively laughable—unfortunately she doesn’t know she’s doing comedy…) : the recent child pornography & violent sex acts displayed by her hell-spawn son recently posted on MySpace.Com did NOT happen in a vacuum (and we can all thank our own very personal clan god there is only one such little abortion from her rotting thighs that we have to deal with on this planet) & echoes her own degraded moral character if we pause to consider all those cheery pornographic colour snaps of her naked, mis-shapen, flat-chested, spread-eagled stick-like body posted on the world wide web for the whole world to gawk at in Shock and Awe nearly ten years ago…the problem of course is that this particular type of religious right wing zealot-hypocrite tends to have AIPAC type corporate sponsorship along with a kind of Jim-Jones cult-like following among the deluded & Dumbed Down American masses that kept her sickeningly in the Public Ear for so many years now (‘What Would Moses Do…?!!!’ Actually he’d probably stone her then go out and genocide some more Amalekites just so he’d feel better after having had to look at her…)–so now we have to figure out WHAT THE HELL to do with that scheming ‘Little Boy-Toy’ of her’s, aka Deryk the Devil—maybe a nice LONG tour of the Back Streets of Baghdad on all Fours sniffing out all those Improvised Explosive Devices littering the backroads these days, courtesy of US Operation Shekhinah (better make it FIVE uninterrupted Tours in a row, like so many other US soldiers who have had to undergo that Hell-Hole just to keep people like his Mommykins in Mink)—or maybe we should just post a few pictures of sonny-boy spread eagle in positions suggestive of Guantanamo Bay Detainees…or maybe just a Simple Court Marshal…suffice it to say, ‘Doctor’ Laura Shitzinger and her not so cute Mamzer-Monster are certainly ‘not good for the Jews’…just in case AIPAC was wondering about that one…….
