Remember when they went after Dr. Laura? Lefties only like their free speech!

I was listening to Dr. Laura and was reminded how the left came out against her speaking her mind on TV. So I did some searching and pulled a few paragraphs;

Demonstrators don't advocate censorship, said Joan Garry, speaking for the gay and lesbian alliance. But, she added, "freedom of speech does not give one a free license to denigrate and defame one community, and Laura does that time and time again."

“The fact remains that CBS and its affiliates knew what they were buying when they plunked down millions for ‘Dr. Laura.’ If they didn’t know when they paid that kind of money, that’s gross business incompetance. But we believe the truth is worse than that: Channel 2 and CBS knew the hate they were buying, and figured the profit to be made was worth it, ethics be damned.”

" She is a professional fraud. She “counsels” over the airwaves with advice that is directly contrary to that given by all the major professional associations related to her subject matter--including the American Psychiatric Assn. and the American Psychological Assn. With a doctorate in physiology, not psychiatry nor psychology, Schlessinger passes off bigotry as professional advice, trading on her “Dr.” label."

"Stop Dr. Laura!

Infamous for calling gays and lesbians “biological errors,” Laura Schlessinger has built her career by promoting homophobia and stereotypical gender roles for women and men. With the help of CBS and Paramount, Schlessinger wants to broadcast her hate to a nationwide TV audience beginning this fall. CBS wouldn’t allow bigots calling other oppressed groups “biological errors” to have a national TV broadcast. Why do they extend that courtesy to “Dr. Laura”? We call on ALL who oppose hate to join a national day of protest to Stop Dr. Laura."

"Chicago Activists Join National Movement to Stop “Dr.” Laura

Chicago activists working in conjunction with the StopDrLaura.com website formed an ad hoc group last Wednesday night, the Stop Dr. Laura Coalition, with the aim of halting WBBM-TV Channel 2’s plans to air the notorious talk show bigot. The Coalition is spearheading local opposition to Laura Schlessinger by organizing a 3 p.m., Saturday, April 15 picket of the station at 633 N. McClurg Court, Chicago to protest their plan to air her show"

"A Proposal to Accelerate the Movement to Stop Dr. Laura

Thanks to the initiative of activists centered in Los Angeles, Dr. Laura Schlessinger’s attempt to spread anti-gay and lesbian hate via a new television program is beginning to meet serious nationwide resistance. The March 21st protest in front of Paramount Studios will more actively dramatize the sentiments found in tens of thousands of protest phone calls, e-mails and web postings."

ping A member of the DC Chapter of Free Republic, Kristinn, was making just this point about Dr. Laura on MSNBC's Scarborough Country program last night -- Susan Sarandon was one of the leaders of the get Dr. Laura movement.

Look what they are trying w/Franklin Graham. They better be careful...Frank is a bad-ass with a bible and he doesn't play too kindly to political correctness.

Does any rational person (aka: conservative) really care what she says? She speaks for herself, and it's not like she influences global politics or anything. It's funny to hear the libs rant against her, but I just have to wonder who cares other than them.

This is classic:

Demonstrators don't advocate censorship, said Joan Garry, speaking for the gay and lesbian alliance. But, she added, "freedom of speech does not give one a free license to denigrate and defame one community..."

And then she goes and does it herself!

I sent Dr Laura a fax asking where was she. I told her I wanted to see her face on every news channel exposing these hypocrites. They were relentless in their war against her. They should play the tapes of all their "EPITHETS". Robbins reminded me of a mad dog when he said "EPITHETS". Say it dont spray it ya moron! Do you think he took English accent classes from Madonna? THEY MAKE SICK!!!!

This point needs to get out to the ignorant masses.

I liked Dr. Laura. She gave good, solid, no-nonsense foundational advice. She, like Anita Bryant, became the eye of the storm. My sympathies are with her. I did emailing of those corporations who were advertisers of Dr. Laura that were being pressured by the homosexuality community. Don't know what else to do. Hope Dr. Laura finds the support that's needed to stand up to these aberrations of life and WIN.

Do you think he took English accent classes from Madonna?

That was his "please take me seriously" stance and accent. I'm sure he worked it all morning in the mirror. Despicable dimwit.
