Her show sucked anyway despite her obvious bigotry towards homosexuals. Good riddance.

I guess since you weren't watching the show you didn't hear what she had to say about you and your economics class

Know your enemy...heh. That's a good one. I didn't have the patience to watch her, plus it was stupid and boring. And every time I yelled at her she didn't hear me. Very annoying.

You're right. While knowing your enemy is a good idea, Dr. Laura is very hard to take. The TV show had the added problem of having to look at her while she was talking.

I can't believe that someone could recommend that a person leave their husband (after all, it's always the man who is a jerk) after listening to someone over the phone for a minute or less. Especially when the person giving the advice knows what a fraud she is. Dr. Laura does this on a regular basis.

I think her radio show will survive along with Rush on the radio for a long time.

Not really a big fan of hers, but I do agree with much of the morality she talks about. Mainly I agree that people crap on their children and drag them through divorces, etc. because they are selfish.

I agree with her overall sense of morality, however she uses wrong approaches in my opinion.

Yes, her radio show will survive...but at least she isn't supported by whatever network she was on. I only watched the show a couple times...it WAS too difficult to watch.

A sad day.

I love how the station that shows her here in LA put her show at like 2am. With that time, BILL COSBY couldn't even get ratings.

Score one for the LIBERAL/SOCIALIST PRO-CENSORSHIP geeks.

Her show was no worse or no better than any other BS show on TV.

People who say that just say it sucks because everyone elses spouts that same non-sense in lemming lock step. How many of you have even seen her show and you're saying it sucked?

I agree that her "Tough Love" approach is annoying and OFTEN arrogant, but she was attacked for saying something she believed. That's not right. People have a RIGHT to be asses here in America...unless of course it's something liberals don't like.
