Now I never listen to this woman because I basically think she is on a major power trip and so rigid in her thinking and rude to callers but I unfortunately got stuck in a car with her on the radio and I can NOT believe what this woman said about overweight people...

A woman called and said that her husband recently gained 30 lbs. and she wondered if it was wrong of her to be bothered by this. Dr. Laura said, "Of COURSE you should be bothered! Your husband is living an undisciplined life - eating whatever he wants and not exercising - this is all about one's CHARACTER. Obviously your problem with your husband is that he has NO CHARACTER to allow himself to behave this way!"

This woman has a national syndicated talk show and she NOT ONCE inquired as to what could be happening in this man's life that he put on this weight. The idea that there could possibly be stressors within him, the marriage or even looking at this change in the husband with some empathy did not even remotely happen. Instead she attacked his character. So I guess she officially endorses discrimination of overweight people by anniliating their characters. Lovely!

I wanted to pull over and take a bat to my radio!

This thread is from 2005. :yikes:

Lisa, come on. Didn't you know Dr. Laura is perfect and doesn't have any faults, get with it girl :yikes:

Dr. Phil looks like a penis in a suit.

JMHO

You should warn someone before you make a statement like that. I'm too sore from surgery to laugh like that! LOL

Three cheers for everyone who ever had a wild side then one day turned it around by becoming Judgemental, rude, uncarring and willing to say anything controversial to raise the ratings. It's great the she can make a living by judging others based on a 15 second conversation. Being omnipitant must be an increadibly wonderful thing for her.

To be able to "tell it like it is" one must assume that someone knows "what it is" I am certain that no human to date has figured it out and even more certain that Dr. Laura has not. To bad she didn't stay wild and off the air!!

I think this post gets the "Post of the Year" award.

Brilliant!!! :yikes:
