She's a tight-assed opportunist.

Dr. Laura is great! She has help a lot of us ! Some people do not like her because she tells them what they do not want to hear--- the truth!I believe very woman should read The proper care & feeding of husband before getting married!
-
A world of no! I'm all for family values, but I think one can express that without denegrating others and adopting a holier-than-thou attitude.
-
I have never really watched her or anything, but from what I heard about her, I'd probably give her a very big kick up the arse if I ever met her
-
I dont like her, I think she is a smart alec, egotistical, self-serving little _____.
-
No. She is an opinionated, tight-assed sensationalist. She isn't even a therapist at all, the "Dr." in her name which would seem to suggest some merit behind her words is her PhD she received from Columbia in Physiology. So, she could be a good person to maybe get exercise tips from, not relationship help. And certainly not her antiquated views on singe parenting and same-sex relationships. I'm surprised she's even still around to get asked about. I thought she got run outta Dodge when her shows got canceled and all her financial backers dropped her faster than you could say b*tch?

yippie!! lol....someone ELSE who's discerning. thank you.
-
Yes!!!! Of course!!!
-
I think she is rude, obnoxious, and a terribly negative person who definitely shouldn't be giving advise to others! She never lets people finish their sentences, she constantly interrupts, and has her mind already made up before you can even finish your thoughts! She needs to be off the air!!!!
-
I have listened to Dr. Laura for years. I am so disappointed in her responses to people who are really hurting and looking for help. I would NEVER call her and her ego doesnt care.

I called the "Dr. Laura" show. Waited an hour to get through... her screener gave me HER opinion about why the abuse that I suffered from my father was my fault and consensual... and then hung up on me. The screener! I hadn't even asked HER opinion, and that had nothing to do with my question. It was stunning, very abusive. I went to counseling for years, and no professional would ever say such a horrific thing. If I hadn't been as far along in my healing as I am, I just can't imagine... Please listen to more compassionate, caring professionals. No one needs that.

Also you have to remember that when you call on the radio, you don't have much time. If you need serious help the radio isn't the place--you need to see a therapist and have a talk-long talk,
-
She has some good opinions that are helpful (although way too black and white / cookie cutter). What ever intellegence or helpful advice she has, however is overshadowed by her obnoxious personality.
-
Dr. Laura is a certified quack.
-
Dr Laura has helped me very much!I have read most of her books! Stop whinning and start living is great I really learned a lot! I am now reading , The proper care and feeding of Marriage! I strongly advice all of you to read it!!
-
I find her amusing in moderate doses. I tune into her show from time to time because even if my opinions are 180 degree different than hers, it's always important to listen and try to understand people you don't agree with. Broadens the mind, you know?
-
That a rather broad question considering te variation in our society. 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. I do agree with most of her views, such as single parenthood. 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.
