So is this why they took away solider's access to MySpace last week?

Another "family values" GOP talking head's family gone bad...

As reported in the Salt Lake Tribune

"The soldier son of talk radio relationship counselor Laura Schlessinger is under investigation for a graphic personal Web page that one Army official has called “repulsive.” The MySpace page, publicly available until Friday when it disappeared from the Internet, included cartoon depictions of rape, murder, torture and child molestation; photographs of soldiers with guns in their mouths; a photograph of a bound and blindfolded detainee captioned “My Sweet Little Habib”; accounts of illicit drug use; and a blog entry headlined by a series of obscenities and racial epithets.

Dr. Laura’s 21-year-old son — one of the U.S. Army’s fresh new faces — claimed on the MySpace page that his “job” was “running around this horrid place doing nasty things to people that deserve it … and some that don’t.”

The illustrations include one of a man forcing a child to suck his dick, at knifepoint and in front of the child’s terrified mother. In another, “a top-hatted man laughs as he rapes a bound and bleeding woman in front of her family.”

Deryk Schlessinger's Web site indicated he is stationed in Kandahar, Afghanistan, where, the site's author writes, "godless crazy people like me," have become "a generation of apathetic killers."

Dr. Laura. Broadcast locally on 570 KNRS, "Family Values Talk Radio," the former family counselor spends three hours daily taking calls and offering advice on morals, ethics and values. She broadcast a show from Fort Douglas, in Salt Lake City, last week.

Laura Schlessinger's appearance in Utah last week included a visit with Army families at Fort Douglas. In an interview with The Tribune, she said, "We raised our son to be a warrior."

After her Utah visit, Schlessinger received criticism for telling The Tribune that she didn't want to hear the complaints of military wives whose husbands are deployed. "He could come back without arms, legs or eyeballs, and you're bitching?" Schlessinger said. "You're not dodging bullets, so I don't want to hear any whining."

Schlessinger later wrote on her Web site - www.drlaura.com - that she was trying to communicate her belief that military spouses shouldn't complain to war-deployed family members, who have more pressing concerns. "I never whine to my son when he is able to call between missions," she wrote.

Dr. Laura has been curiously silent about her son’s bravery.



Family values? I don't think so! The Wikipedia on her is amazing (amazing that people still listen to her)

"Schlessinger received a bachelor degree from the State University of New York at Stony Brook and a Ph.D. in Physiology from Columbia University.[citation needed] A brief marriage in her early twenties ended in divorce, and she moved to Los Angeles where her parents had resettled.

Schlessinger received her certification in Marriage, Family, and Child Counseling from University of Southern California (USC) and taught at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), University of California, Irvine, and Pepperdine University. While working at USC, she met Dr. Lewis G. Bishop, who was married with dependent children. According to divorce filings, Schlessinger and Bishop began an affair. Bishop left his wife after more than 20 years of marriage, and moved in with Schlessinger. They lived together as an unmarried couple, and Schlessginer tried to get pregnant after reversing an earlier tubal ligation and suffering an ectopic pregnancy. They married in early 1985, eight years after beginning their relationship, and Bishop became Schlessinger's business manager. Schlessinger bore their only child, Deryk Schlessinger, in November 1985, when she was 38.

In 1998, allegedly upset that he was snubbed by Schlessinger at an event, former radio mentor Bill Ballance sold to a media outlet nude photos of Schlessinger for which she had posed when she and Ballance had an affair in the 70s.

On December 16, 2002, Schlessinger's mother Yolanda was found dead in her Beverly Hills condominium by the Beverly Hills Police Department, her body having been there for months.[12] Schlessinger's estrangement from her family was again highlighted in the media as hypocrisy, as she had often chastised listeners who said they had broken off contact with their families, calling them selfish."
