(...) Hmm. I trust you're not claiming that the Dr. Laura Show is fictional as in "written and acted out". She does host a radio show, people do call in, and she does respond to them as presented.

(...) I was unclear--my bad. You're 100% correct that there's no real script for her show, so I should have been more precise in my accusation. It's been documented that the Rush Limbaugh radio show, for example, screens its callers, and I believe (...) (22 years ago, 2-Oct-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) Actually I knew this -- but she also appears fairly regularly on the 700 Club so I still think she is an Xtian nutcase. We could certainly say she has enormous right-wing Xtian nutcase sympathies. Without looking it up, because I don't care (...) (22 years ago, 2-Oct-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
