The therapists are just treating the symptom, rather than the illness. Liberalism itself is a mental disorder.

[Adder]

"Mental health officials in South Florida blasted Rush Limbaugh on Monday, saying the conservative talk show host’s offer of “free therapy” for traumatized John Kerry voters has made a mockery of a valid psychological problem."

Awwwwwwwwwww. Who cares? Traumatized Kerry voters should be mocked unmercifully. Where was the rush of mental health care professionals when Dole lost?
What a huge whine.

[FreedomGuru]

One should be depressed if they were a supporter of the empty suit, souless, phony, John Kerry.

[savedbygrace]

Apparently, these PESTy Dims were physically restrained and FORCED to listen to Limbaugh's radio show.

I mean, if they had at least one free hand, they would've reached over and tuned to a different station, right? Or turned the radio OFF? We ARE talking about adults who have a mostly functioning brain, aren't we?

No?

Laugh if you want, but know that this country was founded on the backs of grief counselors. How do you think the Washingtons et al dealt initially? Before there were the federalist papers, there were our founding fathers, in the fetal position, hand-wringing over the...never mind...

[HankReardon]

Why is the fact that Rush owns $26 million worth of property in the Palm Beach County area mentioned in this story? So what? Let's see, that's about 9 months of Rush's pre-tax income. So what?

Treat them for Xenophobia, fear of foreign influences/people. They now feel they're surrounded by people who don't think/act like them.....hey, they're finally right about something!

p.s. The culture/country commonly agreed to exibit the most Xenophobia? FRANCE

"Life's rough, get a freakin helmet."

[gridlock]

The therapeutic community is just trying to make sure that nobody learns anything from this election. Perhaps the sufferer's feeling of dislocation and separation from society as a whole means that he is dislocated and separated from society as a whole. Perhaps the solution to this problem is not five sessions of navel gazing but rather a frank reassessment of one's political positions, to perhaps discern the wisdom of the majority position.

[add925]

Hey, does anybody else smell something here?

[SlowBoat407]

Most of the calls I’m getting are from Republicans making fun of the whole thing

[BillyCrockett]

This has got to be one of the funniest results of the election. Head docs complaining that Rush is being too nasty to their patients trying to get over yet another life changing earth shattering loss of the DemocRATic party. Poor, poor little tiny babies.... Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah...

[cajungirl]

I think they were upset the therapy offer from Rush was for FREE. Probably violates some charge them as much as the traffic can bear rule.

[BlackRazor]

"Republicans want to minimize the whole story of election fraud and voter anger."

I see. So now the mental health community is sanctioning the notion that Bush stole this election, too.

[HankReardon]

Here's my suggested therapy for the misled ungrateful:
Reading assignments: Read some history! Socialism is and has always been a failed policy for nations. Why would the greatest nation the world has ever known, the most prosperous nation, the most successful nation, the nation that leads the Free World, the nation that repeatedly SAVES the Free World, emulate any part of European or Canadian socialism? These liberals do not realize there were no losers this past election, we all won.

[gunnedah]

Where the hell were these psychologists when these idiots were babbling over the last four years. They have ranted and raved and worked themselves into a frenzy for four years and these mind benders are stupid enough to think it happened over night.
In the history of our country I do not believe a candidate has been attacked half as much and as hard as Bush was during the first four years and he stood the test and now these imbeciles are crying because their attack didn't work and they are looking for sympathy.
The shrink that buys their crap needs help and those going are liberals looking for a government handout and most probably wanting on some kind of disability.

[lonestar]

LOL!

[sgtbono2002]

Sorry folks but I place psychiatrists in the same boat with Fortune tellers.

Psychiatry in my opinion isnt a science its hoakum.

If you need help go see a friend, at least he wont shoot you up with brain numbing medicines.

[Bob from De]

Rush should gently tell these Florida psychologists there is much more money to be made treating the Dem leadership.
Psychologists treat narcissists don't they?
Just think of all the money by treating the grandiose, entitled, frauds like Kerry, Ma and Pa Clinton, Ted (leave no female behind)Kennedy, McAwful, Carville, Begala......my god, the list is endless.

[Cricket24]

I got laughing so hard reading that article. Are you kidding me? These people are out of control. AND to think my son lives in that area. I sure hope he doesn't catch whatever they have that makes them so STUPID!
I also emailed the journalist that wrote the piece.
