In old age Laura Schlessinger is more Phyllis Schlafly. She wants
more cover-up, censorship, control et al. She is fine with Sarah Palin
programs. Schlessinger's success has benefited by cover-ups. She spent
years lying about her nude photos before compelled to show truth on
all but one Bill Ballance shot.

Palin's family values .. 39 Comments:
Who died and deemed Dr Laura God? Can she just shut the hell up?
She emotionally abuses fragile callers on her asinine show and then
claims to be so powerful and moral. Bitch. I'd actually have some
respect for Palin if she marched over to the oh-so-holy Dr Laura and
slapped her on the face.
[]
Citing Dr. Laura? You must be kidding. Stop, stop, stop with
this nonsense that she shouldn't run because she has a bunch of small
children. It's grossly sexist. I do think her judgement about agreeing
to run knowing what the media would do to her 17-yr-old daughter is
suspect, but the same would be true of a man. Only an incredibly
selfish person would put their pregnant teenager through the tabloid
mess she's going through.
[]
And then haul her pregnant daughter out on to the national stage
along with the baby daddy...
[]
Dr. Laura,
you stinking pile of filth, clean up your own house (you know,
your shithead son with his sick porno / S&M gore site) before you
start talking about family fucking values you dried out husk of a
human.
[]
How is this any different than a man with children?
[]
It's not. But this issue is bringing the sexist liberals out of
the woodwork, which is not appealing.
[]
In my opinion, none. Palin's husband must agree to be a stay-at-
home dad; otherwise, the GOP are just hypocrites about raising
children and family values.
[]
If you don't know, you need to think about it some more.
[]
A Conservative who actually wants to judge Palin based on what
she preaches - am I dreaming? Could there possibly be some Republicans
out there with an ounce of integrity left?
As much as I may disagree with Dr. Laura on various issues, I at
least respect her in this instance not turning into a complete
hypocritical shill for the GOP.
[]
McCain camp admits positive coverage due to "old boys network",
for anyone who can read an implication. Also, Giuliani implies McCain
doesn't have enough experience since he has also "never governed a
city, never governed a state, never governed an agency, never run a
military unit, never run anything."
I never would have dared imagine that McCain could blow his VP
choice like this. Not only is the woman demonstrably corrupt, with a
hypocritical adherence to their precious "values", but any attempt to
establish her dubious bona fides puts McCain in the same
"inexperienced" light as Obama. It's a blunder of absolutely
historical proportions. But they are "conservatives", so I guess I
shouldn't be surprised.
[]
How can we all escape the "executive" comments when the
Republicans are touting that she is even better than McCain. One thing
I have noticed is that "national" experience is not a comeback anyone
is using. Why is that? Palin's national experience is zero, zip, nada.
No way in hell can they put her up against Obama (even as a Jr
senator) or Biden, or McCain for that matter. By the very nature of
their titles, Senator, they have way more national experience and
international experience.
[]
Good one AQ2...I wonder that too. I hear that constantly now,
obviously the 'new talking point'. Sure Obama doesn't have the much
heralded 'executive' experience...but neither does McCain. Not sure
how to argue that point. Seems to me if McCain is the nominee,
executive experience wasn't important then as he and Obama are
Senators. Now all of sudden it's important. Huh? Doesn't make sense to
me...
[]
The Republicans keep nominating VP candidates with daughters who
are problematic for their sex-negative, faux-pro-family philosophy. It
doesn't seem to hurt them with their base (cf. Mary Cheney); if
anything, the GOP embraces the hypocrisy and revels in its ability to
pull it off. And the media stands to the side, breathlessly applauding
their mastery of the political game.
[]
I wonder what Dr. Laura thinks of defunding for unwed mothers in
Alaska?
Wanna bet she has a beef with that too?
[]
"Well, once you put your hand on the Bible and make that oath,
your attention has to be with the government of the United States of
America."
Yes Dr. Laura.
Thank You.
Sarah Palin has put "Country First" and not her family first.
Thank You Dr. Laura

You guys are killing me!!!! Everytime I log off for an hour or
two to run an errand, I come back to some latest bombshell in the
crapstorm that is Palin....
Dr. Freakin Laura is opposed to her? Wow, just, plain, simple,
wow...
It gets better every day...
[]
But she will still vote GOP. Nice family values.
[]
Gives new meaning to the phrase "Country First," no?
[]
Holy Jeebus on a cracker!!! Just saw on MSNBC mcshame greeting
the Palin family; including preg daughter & her beau. He was all
fatherly, patting and hugging. If this had been, God forbid, a
Democratic candidates family presenting today the repugs would have
been greeting them with pitchforks and torches! What hypocrits; can't
believe we are being subjected to this hypocrisy. We have had to put
up with the HERO, the MAVERICK, and now the REFORMER and HOCKEY MOM.
Have the Democrats lost their fight? Are we supposed to just sit back
and let the repugs make the calls? We can't question anything about
Palin or her family or mcshame throws a hissy fit. Now we hear that
after the convention Palin will go back to Alaska and hole up for
awhile. So no questioning, no press conferences, no TV appearances????
[]
I knew it!
I said last Saturday on here that I use to listen to her.
And I KNEW she would NOT be pleased.
[]
btw,
About 10 years ago I was walking thru the Marriott Wardman Hotel
here in DC.
There was this big event going on ..it was around 11:30pm.
I walked right in with a friend of mine. The band was playing
and we went in and started dancing.. Not more than a minute later, Dr.
Laura and Colin Powell were dancing next to me. LOL
[]
Dr Laura and Colin Powell? Dancing together? That gives me the
heebie jeebies...
[]
Indeed, shy isn't Palin at home submitting to her husband (or
'Dr' Laura for that matter)?
There is noting like some fundy woman out in public telling
other women to stay in the house- does absolutely no one see the rank
hypocrisy in that?
[]
There is so much rank hypocrisy coming from the ranks of
Republicans that it is breathtaking. They go on and on about how this
should be a private family matter, and yet still want to legislate
choice limitors for everyone else's families. Its galling. It is
disgusting. It is beneath us, and hopefully America will wake up and
tell the Republicans that we simply do not want their vision of
America.
[]
There's a huge RIFT in the Republican Party!!! The Republican
Party is in complete disarray.
Why isn't all the gossip that usually comes from tv pundits
talking about the completely debilitating split in the Republican
Party? Will it survive?
Can the the good people of American's heartland TRUST a broken
Republican Party to lead in these difficult times?!!!
Someone on tv must ask these questions 24 hours a day for a
solid week.
[]
Ok. We've now entered some weird alternate universe where things
that Dr. Laura say make sense. I am scared, and I want to go back to
my own universe.
[]
Thanks for checking on this John.
Interesting.
[]
If you have time to waste, go to Dr. Laura's website and count
the number of times you see "Dr. Laura" on the home page alone. I
think the highest I ever counted was about 38. When it comes to
personality cults, the Kim family of North Korea has nothing on her.
[]
Rudy G. disagrees with you Dr. Laura...oh my.
[]
Ok, hell just dropped below 32 degrees. Dr. Laura has said
something I wish the "family values"/evangelical/right wing theocrats
would embrace and listen to and factor into their voting decisions.
Come on guys and gals of the right, vote to save these children
and this family...vote for Bob Barr.
[]
This isn't going to set well with the Republican base nor
probably with a lot of other women. Dr. Laura is playing right into
the Republicans hands by criticizing Palin on family issues. This is
right where Republicans want this debate centered--on family values.
Republicans cannot afford to allow the main issues, the economy,
the war, health insurance, taxes to be the issue right now. They first
need to define Palin as a mother, just like "you and me". Once that
has been established it is going to be virtually impossible to
criticize her for anything.
[]
But the majority of Americans are going to note that the clock
is ticking for the republicans and if they can't talk about any
substantive issues of the economy because they are too busy defending
Paliin they will not get their votes.
The RNC has only 2 more days (primetime hours) to convince the
majority middle class what is going to be done for our economy. Last
night Bush and others went back to their own tired old talking points
once again and addressed the audience about how safe we are from
terrorists and freedom is on the march for all of God's children.
[]
Oh not with the Dr. Laura crowd. They are something else and
follow her every word. I think they will be sitting this one out.
http://www.housekeysformccain.blogspot.com
[]
I just wonder if Dr. Laura will suddenly change her mind come
tomorrow after the speech tonight??
[]
I "think" that the gameplan is that Obama/Biden is going to
concentrate on the issues stuff, openly condemn the bloggers for going
after the "family values" stuff, then sit back and watch the bloggers
and MSM do it anyway. As long as Obama/Biden can maintain plausible
deniability, it's like hitting McCain from two different fronts.
For now, anyway, the polls and the MSM coverage is showing that
people aren't really selling what Palin is buying. I want to see what
happens after she delivers what I'm sure will be a good speech
tonight. Will the MSM still come down on her or will she suddenly
become the new media darling?
[] +
Hard to say which Palin will become until after she is on a
national state tonight.
Let me also say that the articles like the one by Dr. Laura are
not helping. For many working mothers the job is a necessity, many
already feel guilty about leaving their children and Dr. Laura is
making them feel more guilty. In Palin, mother of 5, they may identify
and feel they are validated because the new VP pick seems to have
conquered the working mother dilemma.
Dr. Laura - 1
Daddy Dobson - 0
let the games begin.

McCain is shoving it up their ... by featuring his unity with
dysfunctional family pride in his quest for women who vote. He will
split conservatives but get a few more viewers when Palin speaks. How
long he can keep voters intrigued with this gimmick remains to be
seen. It's good the divisive, divided conservatives are coming out of
the closet with their problems. Hilarious, too!

Uhhh...in your zeal to attack Schlessinger, you've missed the part
where
Sarah Palin is a Schlafly clone, and has kowtowed to them (especially
in the areas of sex education and abortion).
Palin doesn't even understand the history of the Pledge of Allegiance.
For chuckles:
http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/archives/individual/2008_09/014510.php
(note that the Eagle Forum has removed Palin's questionnaire)
September 2, 2008
THAT EAGLE FORUM QUESTIONNAIRE.... If you haven't already seen it, be
sure to take a look at the questionnaire Sarah Palin filled out during
her 2006 gubernatorial campaign for the Alaska chapter of the far-
right Eagle Forum, a religious right group formed by Phyllis Schlafly.
Before getting into the details, it's worth keeping in mind that Palin
answered the group's questions at all. There were 11 gubernatorial
candidates at the time, including five Republicans, and nine of the 11
had the good sense to steer clear of having anything to do with this
far-right outfit. But not Palin, who not only answered the
questionnaire, but told the group what it wanted to hear.
Among the highlights: Palin is a staunch opponent of abortion rights;
she supports allowing parents to opt their children out of public
school classroom content they "consider privacy-invading or offensive
to their religion or conscience"; she supports abstinence-until-
marriage education; she supports public funding of private schools;
she opposes spousal benefits for state employees in same-sex couples,
and wants to "preserve the definition of 'marriage' as defined in our
constitution."
And then there's my personal favorite. Palin was asked, "Are you
offended by the phrase 'Under God' in the Pledge of Allegiance?" She
responded:
"Not on your life. If it was good enough for the founding fathers, its
[sic] good enough for me and I'll fight in defense of our Pledge of
Allegiance."
Note to Palin: the founding fathers didn't recite the Pledge of
Allegiance. It was written in 1892, and didn't include the phrase
"Under God" until 1954.
