Bill Maher is a comedian. Laura Schlessinger is a therapist... or at least she pretends to be.

You don't think comedians and therapists should be held to different standards?

Really?

Dr. Laura is an ENTERTAINER. She is not being paid for giving therapy. Her is giving her OPINION on her radio show based on her beliefs. She has a philosopy degree not a phsycology degree and not a license to provide therapy.

They are both entertainers: talk show hosts. No difference. They are held to different standards because one is perceived as conservative and the other is an outspoken liberal. Liberals believe in "one standard for me another for thee".

Period.

That pretty much nails it.

Expect this thread to either not be replied to by the leftists OR for it to be diverted away from the topic.
