Dr. Laura’s Son Under Investigation

As if it weren't bad enough that the homophobic 'arch-hypocrite' physiologist (she's NOT a Psychologist) 'Pseudo-Dr' Laura's mysanthropic pseduo-judaeic vitriol has destroyed not only her own mother's life (the poor old woman was found bludgeoned to death rotting on a dirty kitchen floor nearly 3 weeks after her murder---Dr Laura having NOT even spoken to her for more than a decade) but has added misery & mahem to countless persons desperately coming to her seeking '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 postively laughable---unfortunately she doesn't know she's doing comedy...) : the recent child pornography & violent sex acts dispalyed by her hell-spawn son recently posted on MySpace.Com did NOT happen in a vaccuum (and we can all thank our personal clan god there is only one such little abortion from her rotting thighs 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 sticklike 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 to do with 'Boy Deryk'---maybe a nice LONG tour of the Back Streets of Baghdad on all Fours sniffing out all those Improvised Explosive Devices littering all the backroads these days, courtesy of US Operation Shekinah (better make it FIVE uninterrupted Tours in a row, like other US soldiers have had to undergo in that HellHole just to keep people like his Mommykins in Mink)---or maybe we should just post a few pictures of sonnyboy spread eagle in positions suggestive of Guantanamo Bay Detainees...just a thought off the top of my head....

While I agree with his opinion of Laura Schlessinger, PhD, and her hypocritical ways, that theophilos09 is one angry dude!

For anyone who hasn't yet seen it, the Wikipedia entry on (not a medical) Dr. Laura and her formative life experiences is a fascinating read and an interesting study in behavioral contrasts:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laura_Sc...

Dr. Laura has been slinging her hate advice for years. The fact that her warrior son has a my space page with hateful content is no surprise. That said, the sick diatribe by theophilos09 has no place on this or any other website. That post only confirms the opinions of Dr Laura's supporters that her enemies are on the lunatic fringe. BTW, I suggested this story to santabarbarasblog on Saturday but they canned it. That only proves to me that that blog is a News Press front.

I don't know that Santabarbarasblog is a News-Press front, but it certainly is verrry N-P friendly. Wendy & Co. always get the benefit of the doubt, no matter what they've done, and those incidents that demonstrate just how petty, vindictive, and controlling she can be are often ignored altogether.

I stopped reading Santabarbarasblog after Editor Bird began gushing praise for Dr. Laura, saying that she isn't the narrow-minded villain that her detractors make her out to be. That's when I knew he was either delusional or Ampersand owned and operated.

Yes, it's interesting that Santabarbarasblog has had nothing to say about "Dr." Laura's "break" from writing her column for the N-P.

Readers could post and see what happens -- will Santabarbarasblog censor, as does the News-Press?

I have posted and was blocked. As they say, the proof of the pudding is in the eating.

To paraphrase Hamlet:

Something is rotten in the plaza of de la Guerra.

I, too, stopped reading SBblog after the pro-Laura entries. But that was the straw that broke the camel's back. I'd thought that blog's attitude and content was not compelling for some time.

But back to this Indy article: I couldn't vote for my choice on who's the winner of the story because it wasn't there. Nobody's a winner. It's only increased the great uncompromising divide between the conservative right and liberal left. Reality isn't that black and white, but now people have more reason to perceive it so.

There are no winners to this story, just like there are no winners in chimpie's war on terror.

Herschel says it right. There are no winners, just a bunch of confused, angry people spewing hatred.

Here's all you need to know about Santa Barbara's Blog: It is NOT blocked at the News-Press. But the Indy, Edhat, Craig Smith, Blogabarbara, George, et al, are. Curious, no?

I just want to know why is article does not appear in today's Independent. Is it only published on line? Why? I think it deserves front page.

The Independent has separate content at website and print edition.

The Santa Barbara Blog indeed deletes content the Editor Bird does not like because the comments criticize the blog host and its choice of content. That is why it is a C-list blog for interest and influence.

That fact that it is not banned by Newsmess computer system is evidence enough.

theophilos09 is one sick puppy... can't spell either. I understand why some folks don't like Dr. Laura, but if you don't like her you don't have to read or listen to her. Keep your 50 cents in your pocket and your radio off of 1490 in the afternoons is all.

Actually, McCon : I can spell American-English just fine, I just can't seem to type properly when I am steaming away at 115 words a minute...which was what I was doing the other day---trying to keep my cool but finding myself blasting away at the Pseudo 'Dr.' Laura when contemplating what her Charming Little Mamzer Monster has REALLY been up to in Afghanistan....as for being a 'sick puppy' I would think that nomenclature would be far more apt a description of her charming little Schetl Spawn who apparently doesn't know the gender difference between habib and habbah....which shows the forbidden fruit indeed does not fall far from the tree of the Knowledge of Good and Bad ...!

My my... the sanctimonious 'family values' Laura doesn't have family values afterall. Abandoned her mother for a decade only to learn of her demise in the newspaper; and responsible for what seems to be a rather unstable son.

No real surprise given the good doctor isn't really a doctor afterall.

Now how to spell, hypocrit

I would like to add my opinion here ( Thanking my son , the hero, a soldier in the military of the Unitied States of America!) regarding Dr Laura and her son.
I was fortunate to meet Dr Laura and her son,Deryk, as they were guests at a welcome home party , in Santa Barbara, for my sons unit who had just returned from a stint in Iraq.
Okay I will be the first to admit that I had never heard of her before but had gotten filled in by some of my friends at the table and was actually apprehensive when she began to speak.
But I heard and saw a different person that what you all are speaking off. She was funny , polite, and honored the men and women who had sacrificed a year and then some for this great country of ours.
Then her son Deryk spoke about having a life of luxury and how he 'chose' to join the militaries elite squad and make a difference and show the people at his school , who were rich and spoiled, what it means to actually stand up and sacrifice for our country.
So I suppose I have a different opinion than some of you. I know what my son has endured in Iraq and Afghanistan. I know the long hours, constant stress , being bombed , being shot at that he has endured. I know the heart breaking loss of life at the hands of the Taliban and I also know of the backbreaking work my son and his unit did while in those devastated countries.
My son worked directly with the people who had their homes, schools and bridges burned and blown up by the Taliban. I would think any normal person being exposed to people who have corruption ingrained in their society would not be so willing to extend a hand of help but our soldiers do it every day. They gave innoculations to children with all sorts of parasites and food and clothing alot donated from families in the United States.
I am not condoning this myspace catastropy if it is valid ..Not at all. I am just asking that one time we can be fair to the men and women who give so much and risk so much for people who may or may not even appreciate them.
I do think Deryk joined the military with honorable intentions. Somewhere down the line the lack of training , sleep and manpower may have led to him making a very bad choice and for that I think we need to look at the infrastructure of the military and either get more help in these desolate areas or come home because what this war is doing to the mentality of our soldiers worries me more than the physical wounds..
this is my opinion and once again I would like to Thank the military for making it possible..God Bless them one and all.

Hypocrite: n. a person who professes beliefs and opinions that he or she does not hold in order to conceal his or her real feelings or motives.

What is Dr. Laura doing NOW that makes you think she contradicting what she presently preaches, teaches or advises? It amazes me that so-called intelligent people will deflame someone's entire character over an opinion on homosexuality. I'm a Christian and what she advises is primarily based on the Bible and God's values. The Bible speaks against homosexuality, pre-marital sex (co-habitation) and divorce. Why can't Dr. Laura profess her beliefs.

Futhermore, there are numerous passages in the Bible that instruct how husbands and wives are the submit on to one another and how to do it. What Dr. Laura advises is Biblical principle. There is nothing wrong with the word submit and there is nothing wrong with stating your beliefs, especially if based on biblical principle. What is wrong is what God says is wrong and that happens to be sex before marriage, shacking up, homosexuality, cheating on your spouse, etc. Please don't pretend these beliefs are a new phenomenon.

I find it strange that no major newspaper or news show featured the story on Dr. Laura's son. Dr. Laura is one of the most, if not the most popular radio personality on the air. I did not find a story posted or told on ABC, NBC, CBS, C-Span, Fox, CNN, New York Times, BBC, LA Times, Houston Chronicle, Washington Post or the Chicago Tribune. The story obviously is not credible, or are all of the major newspapers and news shows Dr. Laura's dearest friend?

Is it reasonable to assume the son of a popular radio personality would post deflaming photos that would degrade his reputation and his mother's reputation on a Myspace page? Or is it reasonable to assume the Myspace page is a hoax like so many other celebrities have of them?

Now on to the nude pix of Dr. Laura. You all are grasping for straws. So there are nude photos of her from her wild youth from 30-40 years ago. I've taken underwear photos with my fiance before we were married. What if we did not get married and he released the photos. 30 or 40 years down the line, am I a hypocrite?

I would like to note that my husband and I did not have sex before marriage. Prior to our dating relationship, however, we both have done so. We admit it was a sin and unGodly. I would not advise our children or anyone else to fornicate or take nude photos before marriage. Am I a hypocrite? I suggest you all get your definitions in order with your name-calling and try to look a life with a more reasonable and rational head on your shoulders.

Hey, uh, Designer23?

"Deflame" is not a word. I would think, however, that if I were to post "deflaming" content to a discussion group or social network, its tone and effect would be roughly opposite to that of defamation.

It does not surprise me that Laura's son would act out in this way. I have listened to her radio program from time to time while driving in my car. (I travel for my work) She has a tendency to blame the victims of rape and child abuse. The women were raped because they "dressed like sluts." I have turned her show off in disgust when she expresses "amazement" that a child kept silent about a sexual abuse, instead of being shocked by what the abuser did. There is little sympathy in her reaction to these types of abuses on women and children. I could see how her son would get a distorted view about these issues because her feelings on these things are distorted and outdated.

heophiloso9 sounds angry. You know the problem I see with liberals is that if someone has a different opinion, they can't take it. They resort to name calling or just being mean spirited( as his letter was). The only opinion I can see in what he wrote is that he's mad about something, to bad, life has so much to be happy about.

Wow, Phillo09 you have way to much time on your hands,. Get a real job and a better outlet for your angst and finger pointing from your own story, not hers...Secondly, I will continue to listen to Dr. Laura, I am a better Godmother, daughter, sister, friend and most importantly a better person. Have you heard the saying "take some and leave the rest" . She has helped me to make decisions about the right things in life and not waffle because I want to look good.....Keep up the good work Dr. Laura, I love you and continue to listen for more inspiration daily that you exude. Most importantly you give kids a voice, that they are loved and that family values are vital to a happy home........Love thy Neighbor as Thyself..................

I read every single entry above. I listen to Dr. Laura's show because she gives great advice to people to make sure our children are raised safely and properly. But also so we can lead lives in which we are compassionate members of society. It does sometimes require Dr. Laura to be harsh with the caller to help them realize where they are going wrong. What is frustrating about the words used to describe her above, is that they could not be futher from the truth.
If it wasn't for Dr. Laura I would have put my two kids in daycare, would be stressed out by work and home and most likely, on the verge of divorce. Now, I have a peaceful home in which my children are raised by me and my husband, where I can teach them to be compassionate, thoughtful, kind and loving members of society while making decisions in their own lives that keep them from trouble or pain. Yes, my financial health is poor, I don't get goodies, new clothes for myself or my husband, no new car, new house, new things at all. But I do have two very lovely children who feel loved, happy and know right from wrong. That is priceless...
I feel if the people above who feel Dr. Laura is "hateful" listen to her show for one week, will think rather differently. I find it sad really, that they are so quick to judge when I'm sure they've only maybe listened once, if that. It truly makes me feel saddness for the mother of a soldier fighting for our freedom to spew the same hatred, would say such things without getting informed.
Signed,
With saddness of the hateful world being created and left to our innocent children...

Dr Laura is a marvelous jerk. I know this because I do listen to the show for it's delightful train-wreck qualities. And some of these comments are hilarious! That said, I am still my kids mom... and yet I don't need to toot on about how wonderful and great I am, what a super member of society I am, or how I sacrifice everything in the name of being my kids mom. Yadda yadda yadda... I certainly don't need the approval of the good Dr to reassure me of my inner fabulousness. Let it go ladies (and the occasional soul searching fella) and just let your neighbors be what they be. And if they just happen to be Dr laura, well... there's always the Hamptons.

Laura is an incredible b***h who has absolutely no business being on the air. Her vitriol is contagious fodder for already constipated conservative minds, and is a disservice to the country. I remember listening to her years ago in Seattle when her show preceeded Ton Leykus's- not a big fan of him either. Leykus said that he used to work in the same studio as Laura, and said that her little monster would grow up to be a serial killer, or something to that affect. Looks like Tom was right.

This week's question comes from a guy who's been listening to other love doctors -- not a smart move.
reader's question
Hey Doc,

Because of your materials I have a great gal, Jane, who just asked me to get married. Thanks a ton for coaching me on how to keep my girlfriend in love.

My question is this: I was at Jane's apartment when she was listening to Dr. Laura. A married woman called up and said she wanted to go to lunch with the mother of a guy she dated for three weeks during a breakup she had with her present husband, and just prior to their getting married. She said she had gone out with the guy only three times and it was no big deal because now she is very happily married. She added that she has gotten very close to her ex's mom. Dr. Laura said it was a good idea to go on the lunch date and that she should invite her husband to come along. The husband balked and wanted nothing to do with the arrangement, causing friction in the marriage.
love cop
It was Jane's opinion that the husband was off base and uptight over nothing. But in "The System" you emphasize: "No exes lurking in the background!" I smell a rat because you have taught me to be a love cop.

What's the deal, Doc? Is Dr. Laura full of it and dispensing lousy advice or is it really no big deal to keep in touch with your ex's mother?

Biggy - who wants to know what is really going on
doc love's answer
Hi Biggy,

First of all, thanks for the compliment. One of the fundamental goals of "The System" is to teach guys how to keep their women in love with them over the long haul. Glad to hear it's working. If you abide by the principles in my book, she'll be in love with you forever.

You are dead-on right in your assessment of this situation, but most people wouldn't see it. But before we look at it closely, I want to say something about Dr. Laura, Dr. Phil, Dr. Joy Brown, Dr. Drew Pinsky, and all the other love doctors who claim to be experts in all fields of human experience.
jack of all love trades
There are over 20 types of engineers: mechanical, industrial, electrical, mathematical, etc. Each one is a specialist and an expert in his or her area of endeavor. And as the old adage goes, you simply cannot be great at everything. To you Psych majors, if you try to be all things to all people, you will end up a jack of all trades and master of none. Dr. Laura, for example, gives advice on how to raise kids and how to not argue with the neighbors about their barking dog, as well as everything else in between. She gives lots of advice in many different areas of life, but I only give advice in one, the most important area of all if you want to be a success with women -- how to keep her Interest Level in the stars. I don't give advice in other areas, because I have only one strong suit. It's my contention that this should apply to all love doctors.

cont next post

cont from previous post.

Now let's look at the situation you brought up regarding the married woman who befriended her ex's mother. What Dr. Laura did not see, or ask the wife, was this: "If you had an argument with your fiance, why did you go out with another guy so soon after the argument?" Like my cousin General Love says: "So much for loyalty, right?" And here's another crucial question that she missed putting to that married woman: "Couldn't you have been alone for a day or two until you worked it out with your fiance before running off to another guy?" Or how about this one: "How did you meet this guy's mom and get so close with her son in only three dates?"

No, Dr. Laura missed everything of importance here. She should also have said to the chummy married woman: "After you have lunch with your ex's mom, your ex is going to ask her questions like: 'Do you think that she's happily married? Can I go along on your next meeting?'" etc. In other words, this guy is still lurking in the background, waiting for his moment to pounce. But Dr. Laura didn't think of that either, did she?
advice on women from women?
The poor, hapless husband intuitively knew that the conversation his wife shared with the mother of her ex would be heard by the son -- his wife's ex. And the ex happens to be the guy who wanted the married woman. He might not have put it into so many words, but it was Dr. Laura's job to bring that very important point out. Maybe she didn't want to. Like my cousin Fast Eddie Love from East L.A. says: "One thing you can say about women is that they stick together!"

Now, that husband should be asking his wife: "If I hit a tree and died and your ex called for a date, would you go out with him?" Like my cousin Sal "The Fish" Love says: "I'd love to be a fly on the wall for that conversation!"
she's anti-loyal
That wife thinks her hubby is jealous and possessive. But it's my opinion she's anti-loyal. Even if she thinks her hubby is wrong and too backwards in his thinking, isn't her marriage more important than having lunch with someone her husband would prefer she not see? Apparently she would rather make her husband uncomfortable and be right rather than be loved. Dr. Laura missed that part of it, too. The truth is that she missed everything, Biggy. Like the great Doctor Freud once said: "Would you ask that woman for advice?"

Remember, guys: Loyalty is numero uno.

To hear my LOVE RADIO SHOW, send me your love questions or to find out more about "The System," visit me at www.doclove.com or call (800) 404-2644. For the past 30 years Doc Love has asked thousands of women, "Why do you stay with one man versus another?

i used to listen to Dr. Laura years back and after just one call of her literally chewing up and spitting out this gal that had been raped and gotten pregnant from it I turned off her show and have and will never listen to her again.

She is ignorant, down right mean, evil, and I wish she didn't have enough followers to keep her show on the air.

She's sick and twisted.

The amount of hate generated here is frightening. Dr. Laura, as far as I can see, has stood for independent thought, encourages people to stand up for what they believe, to speak out against evil, and has done her best to give honest down to earth advice. Maybe not all her advice is followed, but that is what it is -advice. If my children were under attack, I would do exactly what she is doing as well. She has done her best to be of great help to many people and should be applauded for it. Who among us could give advice to so many, for so many years without it being controversial to some. Why such hate ???? Can people not have a civil discussion on this topic? What I see here is incredulous, racist, and
sexist. We all have our own opinions- Dr. Laura has given hers only to those who have asked for it. Many of you should hang your heads in shame for what you have put forth in writing. That is my opinion...
