Dr. Laura Rallying Pro-Family Advocates to Protest Controversial Film

Hollywood is getting ready to start production of a new film about a controversial sex researcher who was a pedophile.

Actor Liam Neeson is slated to play late Indiana University professor Alfred Kinsey in a new biopic directed by Bill Condon. Many pro-family voices are concerned the movie will glorify a pervert who legitimized child sex abuse and, among other things, claimed 90-95% of the general population is bisexual without realizing it.

Dr. Laura Schlessinger says Hollywood and the mainstream media have given the "father of the sexual revolution" a pass.

"The liberal mentality is to have no limits, no rules on anything," Schlessinger says. "And that goes hand-in-hand with what Kinsey offered us: no rules, no limit, no morality; it's all how you feel and what you do -- and pretty much, the [left-wing] media is ... into that."

Pro-family advocates are asking Hollywood to reconsider production of the film. Schlessinger and others tried to publish the truth about Kinsey to the Hollywood community by way of a paid ad to Variety magazine. But the publisher refused to take the ad, despite the fact that his lawyer said the ad presented no threat of lawsuit to the publication.

Schlessinger says a sexual pervert like Kinsey should not be lionized. She adds that concerned individuals may be able to do something to head off production of the film.

"People ... should go to my website [DrLaura.com] to get the names and addresses of Liam Neeson, American Zoetrope [producers of the film], and Variety magazine," she says. With that information, she encourages people to "beg them, ask them, [or] demand that they tell the truth about Kinsey -- and not fall for the propaganda that is put out by the Kinsey Institute at the University of Indiana."

The movie starring is slated to begin filming in March. Actress Laura Linney is expected to play Mrs. Kinsey in the film, which also stars actor Chris O'Donnell as sex researcher Wardell Pomeroy.

Hollywood is really sick

[Bonaparte]

Kinsey was a third rate zoologist, who had no idea how to conduct social research. His "research" is virtually useless but is still oft quoted by those of his scrungy "persuasion."

[goldstategop]

Considering the perverts in Tinseltown I'm not exactly surprised at this news.

[Pontiac]

With that information, she encourages people to "beg them, ask them, [or] demand that they tell the truth about Kinsey -- and not fall for the propaganda that is put out by the Kinsey Institute at the University of Indiana."

You have to wonder how much research the screenwriter actually did on his/her subject. Or did he just take some biography written by some apostle of this pervert at face value and write a white washed version the perv’s life.

[Houmatt]

Hey, four posts and no "I hate Dr. Laura so I don't care" posts yet (They waste no time if you mention Michael Savage).

Allow me to point out Bill Condon is also a homosexual, which is what guided his affectionate portrait of Frankenstein director James Whale in "Gods and Monsters."

So you can bet your bottom dollar this film will either gloss over or flat out ignore what this pedomonster did.

Sorry, all I can manage at this early hour is: "I don't care about what an uptight scold has to say about a pervert, and therefore I don't care."

What was so awful about James Whale?

As to the subject of the post, I saw the Factor the other day where some woman was basically trying to claim Kinsey was a pedophile himself, which I thought was pretty out of line. For once O'Reilly demonstrated a little restraint.

Kinsey was a sloppy researcher with very questionable methodology. But to translate his research into what NAMBLA and their ilk claim are legitimizations of pedophilia is absolutely ridiculous.

At any rate, all this protest is only going to engender guarantees for Academy Awards nominations and uninteresting rambles from the actors and director about how courageous they feel taking on the religious right. I say let them make their disgusting movie and pay for the publicity themselves, rather than doing it for them. Vote with your dollars, not with all this liberal-esque rabble rousing that serves no purpose unless you are logically consistent and ready to argue for censorship, which is a pretty indefensible position.

Kinsey's research was flawed. No generalizations as to percentage of homosexuals, for example, could be drawn from that study.

[strela]

Uh Doctor Laura? Just a couple of teeny-weeny suggestions for you, hon. I trust nothing further need be said ...

[Sans-Culotte]

It was an affectionate portrait and a romantic one, but they didn't hide Whale's lifestyle at all. Indeed, before Gods and Monsters came out, many probably never knew that Whale was a homosexual. I quite liked the film. I found it a great portrayal of the final days of a sad life. Ian McKellan was great as Whale, IMO.

Kinsey is called a pedophile because according to author Judith Reisman (in her published works and in a Family Research Council video called "The Children of Table 34"), he had infants brought to his lab at Indiana University, held down, and masturbated, to watch their "reactions." Somehow I think the film will leave this part out.

Nothing. I just thought the film was a bit too sickly sweet for my personal taste. I think the fact Condon is also a homosexual had something to do with it. <

As to the subject of the post, I saw the Factor the other day where some woman was basically trying to claim Kinsey was a pedophile himself, which I thought was pretty out of line.

If you can present evidence to the contrary, please do. Judith Reisman has given a rather iron-clad presentation into what kind of a person Kinsey was. Reisman says Kinsey was a pedophile because she has facts to back her up.

And if it is not true, his family or estate could always sue Reisman.

However, to date, there has been only silence from that camp.

You must read some of his work.

His position, activities and agenda are perfectly clear and spelled out.

He also advocated selective breeding predicated upon racial and sexual eugenics, mass sterilization for the lower classes and selective breeding for the "better classes."

The Kinsey Institute

lol

Now there is the organization with the least to hide!

From The Kinsey Institute Web-site

"In several respects his original conclusions have needed to be revised, but his commitment to a more honest appraisal of the sexual aspects of the human condition remains."

so.... He was wrong, but a great man with a commitment to a vision.. I'll say.

[strela]

No prob. I'm here for ya.
