Dr. Laura Sez. . .

Crazy Candidate of the Day

May I have the envelope, please?

Today's winner is. . .

Oh, my God! It's Sharron Angle again!



What did Sharron Angle do now? Well, it's really what she did back in 1991.

I remember it like it was yesterday. . . . . . . .


(via the Parumph Valley Times)

The heart of the story starts in 1991 and, perhaps surprisingly, with the Tonopah High School football team.

Mired in a dismal season, the Muckers traveled to Laughlin that fall. To nearly everyone’s surprise, the relatively-new Clark County school defeated Tonopah. It was Laughlin’s first-ever football win.

Tonopah coach Randy Jones was so incensed that he told his team in the locker room following the game it was the blackest day in Mucker history.

Springing ahead, Jones came up with an innovative idea to fire up his charges for their 1992 homecoming game against Laughlin. Utilizing the “darkest day” theme, he suggested the Muckers could wear black jerseys to remember the previous year’s debacle.

Okay, so far, pretty innocuous story about a local high school football team, right?

WRONG!

. . . opposing the black jerseys was another group including Angle, a member, if not its leader.

They argued against our charges wearing black on religious grounds.

Religious, um. . .what now? What religious principle was violated by the team wearing different colored jerseys?

I cannot quote scripture as they did to justify their point but the gist of their argument was that black as a color was thoroughly evil, invoking the supernatural and especially the devil.

So, Angle was freaked out because the kids' jerseys were the color of evil?

You know, I could see a parent maybe being bothered by their son playing for, say, the "Blue Devils"

or maybe the "Blue Demons"

Or the "Sun Devils."

I could see where that might offend someone's religious sensibilities. But the color black? The color black is too evil to wear on a jersey? Don't most ministers wear black?

Anyway, in the world of football, everyone knows the color of evil is powder blue!

So, I guess the point is that Sharron angle is an irrational nut who has no business seeking any position of responsibility. And she may pull off the seemingly impossible. She may save Harry Reid's job.

Dr. Laura a Racist? Who Knew?

Here I always thought she was just an angry, bitter, hostile, self-righteous hypocrite who belittled others to cope with her own self-esteem issues. Oh, and also a homophobe.
But apparently, she loves the N-word. Loves loves loves saying the N-word:




And then, because nothing can ever be her fault, she comes out with this load of BS on Larry King:



So let me see if I have this straight. Your First Ammendment rights were "usurped" by people who, what, criticized your use of a foul racial slur? And to get back your right to say things, you're quitting the show on which you say those things? You get criticized for dropping repeated N-bombs, and you run off with your tail between your legs, crying about your rights being taken away? And it's the black people who are too hyper-sensitive beacuse they find the word "n---er" offensive?

And you're quitting your radio show, but you're not quitting? Channeling Sarah Palin are we?

And you think that the First Amendment is supposed to shield you from criticism? Why do you people think that the First Amendment only applies to you? If you have the right to say "n---er" on the air (and you do) why don't decent people have the right to call you on it?

What a freakin' baby!

Freedom of Religion Has its Limits!

Here in Atlanta, we have a place known as Centennial Olympic Park.



In 1996, a terrorist named Eric Rudolph set off a bomb there
which killed two people and injured 111.

ACOG POOL/AP
People rush to the scene of an explosion at Atlanta’s Centennial Olympic Park, July 27, 1996.

Many more innocent people might have been killed or injured, were it not for the bomb being spotted by security guard Richard Jewell.

Rudolph was motivated by his twisted version of the religion known as Christianity.

Yet every December, Centennial Olympic Park is festooned with Christmas lights and decorations and serenaded by piped in Christmas music.



That's right, Christmas! The most holy day on the calender of Christianity. Every year, they put up a display on the site of this atrocity which celebrates the religion of Eric Rudolph, Timothy McVeigh, and so many terrorist organizations, from the Hutaree Militia to the Christian Knights of the Ku Klux Klan!

How can we be so insensitive to the people whose loved ones were killed on that horrible day? How can we not take into account the feelings of those who were injured, some permanently, by the Christian Eric Rudolph?



This is Emily Lyons. She lost sight in one eye and suffered severe burns over much of her body when another of Rudolph's bombs went off at the clinic where she was employed, killing an off-duty police officer. How do you think she feels when she sees Eric Rudolph's religion being celebrated, not two blocks away, but directly at the site of his most notorious act of terrorism?
We can not allow this outrage to continue! Write to Atlanta mayor Kasim Reed and GA governor Sonny Perdue and tell them that religious tolerance has its limits! Any religion which has had acts of terrorism perpetrated in its name can not be allowed to flaunt itself on the site of one of those acts.

It's just common decency!
