hell if i know iam only going with the flow of dr laura haters is all.

Dr Laura is a radio psychologist (http://www.drlaura.com/main/). People hate her for many reasons, one of which is that she is a very conservative christian and she is able to broadcast openly over the air her ideals. People don't like people who have different ideals than they do. For some odd reason, they take offense.
-
More uptight and conservative than a Fundamentalist with 'roid rage. Her views of what is "acceptable" are VERY narrow and she is viewed by many as a hate-filled shrew-bitch.
-
People don't like being told what to do and I'd like to cement Dr. Phil's mouth in.
-
Arrogant, mouthy, opinionated, power hungry, closed minded....shall I go on?
-
hey guys-she's not a doctor, she's a media personality. She was asked about it here in Dallas and broke down in tears.
-
Why do all you limp-dicks spend your time talking about a person who bills herself as a doctor and isn't. And to boot, you worry about who thinks what. Jeez-start a book club/poker game/street racing group.

To Katie above, Dr Laura is a conservative but she is JEWISH not Christian and she constantly cites that she is a jewish girl. To answer the qestion Dr . Laura seems to be mean, hateful at times,rude. She is constanly breathng out when she thinks that her listener asked her a ''stupid'' question and I feel she is most likely rolling her eyes at that moment. She thinks she is right of God himself. Many times I disagree with her advice and I think she is a bore. Besides I found out she has many ude photos of her when she was in her 20ies on the internet and one in particular with S and M outfit. One has her legs spread appart on a floor showing her hairy crotch.She was posing for some guy she was cheating with. These are original photos and she had to admit that in a court and was not able to prevent their publishing. Mainly, she is a hypocrite. I am not really a liberal nor conservative, rather a mix of both.
-
She's excellent in the advice arena . . . it's when she strays into the political arena that she runs into the ditch.
-
Well, I used to think she was bitchy and annoying.. but after a while of being forced to listen to her shows, I found that I pretty much agree with just about everything she says. .. regardless if she's a real doctor or not (as if a peice of paper shows you're smarter than anyone else) ...

I've known her since 1993, meaning I've been on her show, radio and TV, in Los Angeles. She can be aggravating, but that's the Jewish Mother in her. Her first and primary concern are the children. It is a statistical fact that children of single and divorced parents overall do worse than those of intact, married couples. And if you ask what about intact cohabiting couples, here's the answer to that. Stanford University - Divorce, Nontraditional Families, and Its Consequences For Children "We know that children of divorced parents have more emotional and behavioral problems and do less well in school than children who live with both their Parent." http://www.stanford.edu/~rmahony/Divorce.html She comes down hard on everyone, each of which thinks they are being singled out as a group or individual. She dropped an anvil on me when I let my work get ahead of my marriage to my second wife, resulting in divorce.
-
Dr. Laura is great in my opinion! She has not done anything wrong ! Indeed quite the opposite she has helped many and she might just be the voice for all those adorable gits from god--- our children!
-
I dislike her because she is a liar and a hypocrite.

"Doctor" Laura Schlessinger is a typical conservative Republican radio host with a checkered background who advocates Family Values, ethics, the sanctity of marriage, anti-divorce, stay-at-home-motherhood, anti-pornography, sexual abstinence outside of wedlock, etc. Which is fine, if she practiced what she preaches. But she doesn't and what the listener soon hears is interminable rants on hate, homophobia, and the worst child rearing advice possible (as evidence by her own son's behaviour in our armed forces). Sorry, but hate is not a family value. She touts herself as a "Doctor". Well, technically she is. She's has a Ph.D. not in Psychology like her radio show intro and her website would lead you to believe, but a degree in Physiology, which might qualify her to be a personal trainer, a weight training coach, a dietician, or with a little more education, a physical therapist, or an illustrator for medical textbooks. She received a certificate in Marriage, Family, and Child Counseling from the University of Southern California and while doing so had an affair with her instructor, Dr. Lewis G. Bishop, who was married with dependent children. He later left his wife of twenty years and moved in with Schlessinger. ***************************************************** Dr. Laura and the Sanctity of Marriage: Laura started dating her current husband, Lew Bishop, while he was still married.1 Laura divorced her first husband after 2 years of marriage.2 Schlessinger had premarital sex in college.6 Schlessinger had sex with Bill Ballance within hours of meeting him. Ballance recalls, "We used to thrash around like a couple of crazed weasels. I used to call her Ku Klux, because she's a demon between the sheets. Dynamite!" 9 Laura "shacked up" with Lew for nine years before they married.9 Laura told a freind that she was pregnant at the time of her wedding9 ***************************************************** Laura and Family Values: Dr. Laura has not spoken to her mother in 15 years.8 Dr. Laura is estranged from her sister.1 "She not only is estranged from her mother, but, according to her husband, "doesn't see much" of her younger sister."7 "When Bill Ballance, who actually met Cyndi [Laura's sister] before the rift, asked Laura about it, she just said, 'Oh, she's so much prettier than I am!'"9 Laura's mother once worked for Laura as a secretary. She walked out the day Laura told her that she should learn how to type.1 "My husband HAD a prior family. And I figured I went through 12 hours of labor and a C-section. I figured, I'm going to name this thing anything I want, and I said, 'Lew, do you have any problem with the last name Schlessinger? ' He said, 'No.' "5 When Deryk was young, Laura took him to the studio with her where he ran around unsupervised. He was such a terror, other employees complained9 Mother's death On December 16, 2002, Schlessinger's mother Yolanda (from whom Schlessinger claimed to have been estranged for many years) was found dead in her Beverly Hills, California condominium by the Beverly Hills Police Department. Authorities stated that her remains had possibly been there for more than two months. ***************************************************** Laura and Ethics She promotes her show as if she has a doctorate in a therapy related field, yet her degree is in physiology.3 After taking $30,000 in speaking fees, she treated her hosts rudely.4 After she was exposed for acting rudely, she failed to accept responsibility for her actions. Instead she lashed out.4 She has undermined many of her colleagues at work. Marilyn Herman noted, "Tracey Miller, Marilyn Kagan, Barbara De Angelis, Mother Love - she systematically set out to destroy each of these women. She was the most vengeful, evil person." 9 She directed Lew and Shelly Herman to make phony calls to her show when the lines were empty.9 ***************************************************** Laura and her Ideas about Truth Dr. Laura calls herself a "shrink", but she is not a psychiatrist or psychologist.8 She claims that she had trouble conceiving her son, Deryk, but Deryk was born within nine months of her marriage. 8 She says that they struggled when Deryk was young, because she was a stay at home mom and her husband had lost his job. Her husband can't remember being out of work at that time and Laura was an adjunct professor at Pepperdine.8 A few weeks before Deryk left to visit his grandfather, Laura told a caller that he "wasn't blessed with grandparents".10 "I am a prophet"5. "I have never, ever said that I was a prophet! That's a total, complete lie," she tells me. ("She said it twice," reports the writer, Janet Wiscombe.)9 ***************************************************** Footnotes 1.

" Full Story: http://www.independent.com/news/2007/may/22/emnews-pressem-columnist-dr-lauras-soldier-son-und/ In 1998, allegedly upset that he was snubbed by Schlessinger at an event, former radio mentor Bill Ballance sold nude photos of Schlessinger to media outlet IEG. Schlessinger had posed for the photos while involved in a sexual relationship with Ballance in the 1970s. Internet Entertainment Group (IEG), known for distributing a sex tape of Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee, purchased the photos and subsequently posted them on its website. The photos were originally available only to subscribers to the IEG website, but were later leaked to the general public. Schlessinger initially denied that the photos were of her, but then claimed a copyright interest in them in court. Attempts to have the photos removed from various websites failed after a court ruling stated that IEG had legally acquired the rights to the material. Eventually, she admitted that the photos were authentic, and read a statement on her radio show addressing the issue.

she is a jewish conservative talk radio host. being an outspoken conservative, liberals dispise her pretending that they do not have anyone on the same level. liberals like to think only they have the right to "say it like it is"

I have tried to post this on a couple of different answers, but, for some reason, the system won't let me post comments here. So, let me try posting it as an answer. A number of answers here have made the accusation that Dr. Laura is not a doctor. This is false. Dr. Laura received a Ph.D. in Physiology from Columbia University in 1974. So, while she may not be a medical doctor, she is still a doctor and is as entitled to use that title as any of the professors under whom I have studied at the university and with whom I now work who are also not medical doctors. Someone does not have to be an M.D. in order to be entitled to use the title of Doctor. Any doctorate degree entitles one to us it.
