Psychologists blast Rush Limbaugh for mocking traumatized Kerry voters

Mental health officials in South Florida blasted Rush Limbaugh on Monday, saying the conservative talk show host’s offer of “free therapy” for traumatized John Kerry voters has made a mockery of a valid psychological problem.
“Rush Limbaugh has a way of back-handedly slamming people,” said Sheila Cooperman, a licensed clinician with the American Health Association (AHA) who listened Friday as Limbaugh offered to personally treat her patients. “He’s trying to ridicule the emotional state this presidential election produced in many of us here in Palm Beach County. Who is he to offer therapy?”
The Boca Raton News reported last week that more than 30 distraught Kerry supporters in South Florida contacted the non-profit AHA following their candidate’s Nov. 3 concession to President Bush. AHA officials have diagnosed the disorder as Post Election Selection Trauma (PEST) and have scheduled the first of several free group therapy sessions for just after Thanksgiving.
Cooperman, whose professional practice is based in Delray Beach, said the election-related symptoms she sees in the Kerry supporters more than quality PEST as “a legitimate syndrome or disorder within the trauma spectrum,” according to the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
“Rush Limbaugh has no clinical qualifications to counsel anyone,” Cooperman said. “He’s not only minimizing PEST, but he’s bastardizing the entire psychological field and our clinical expertise.”
Rob Gordon, AHA executive director, said Limbaugh’s radio musings caused the charity to receive hundreds of calls and letters from gloating Republicans. But he said he also received a small batch of letters and e-mails from people who said they understood why some Kerry voters would need therapy.
A man named Paul wrote to AHA, “I too was very depressed, and I knew a lot people who felt the same way. You have to understand that to many of us, this was the key election about the future of our country, and with a Bush win that future is pretty much destroyed. Naturally, there’s going to be some significant grief.”
“The people here in Palm Beach County now in therapy or support groups are the canaries in the mine shaft,” Gordon said. “There could be thousands of others, even Republicans, who need to be in therapy over this election.”
Gordon said the AHA on Monday also received its first out-of-state call – from a fixed-income woman in Texas who is “absolutely terrified of what Bush will do” – and scheduled a free telephone therapy session with her for today.
Douglas Schooler, the Boca Raton trauma specialist who treated 20 people with hypnotherapy following Kerry’s loss, said he believes many people suffering from election-related symptoms are still afraid to step forward.“The Republicans want Kerry voters to shut up and pretend they’re not feeling anything,” Schooler said. “But many people have serious emotional pain over this election and it’s unhealthy to stuff it down inside of you. Therapy is the best way.”
Although Schooler said he never listens to Limbaugh, he said he has been deluged by similar phone calls and attacked on South Florida’s radio talk shows.
“Most of the calls I’m getting are from Republicans making fun of the whole thing,” Schooler said. “One guy wrote me a letter saying I should tell people to vote Republican and save themselves the stress. Republicans want to minimize the whole story of election fraud and voter anger.”
Schooler said he did not expect the Republican gloating to stop anytime soon.
Limbaugh, a Palm Beach County resident who owns $26 million worth of property in the area, read the two Boca News exclusives on his nationally syndicated radio program last week.
“So if anybody on the left wants some serious therapy here and counseling, I’m more than willing to offer my assistance as well,” Limbaugh said on Nov. 9.
On Nov. 12, accused by Gordon of picking up the story to rub it in the faces of Democrats, Limbaugh said, “Now, my friends, I didn’t do that. I reached out. I offered a hand of friendship. I offered my own counseling services.”
AHA officials, listening to the taped broadcasts, described Limbaugh’s tone of voice as sarcastic.

Cooperman and all the rest of crying liberal bitches need to shut the fuck up. This is the funniest thing I've read since the election. God Bless America!

:D :rolleyes: :D ;) :D

Mush Limpdick the oxycontin addict needs to be held to his own standards.

"What this says to me is that too many whites are getting away with drug use. Too many whites are getting away with drug sales. Too many whites are getting away with trafficking in this stuff. The answer to this disparity is not to start letting people out of jail because we’re not putting others in jail who are breaking the law. The answer is to go out and find the ones who are getting away with it, convict them and send them up the river, too.”

All Psychologists are fucking jokes anyway. Losers who didn't have the aptitude or discipline to make it through real medical school.

I wouldn't mind them so much if they didn't constantly flatulate about their importance... That, and I simply can't stand all the psycho-babble bullshit they spew. They literally spend thousands of hours explaining away common sense.

No wonder most of them are liberals! Jeeze!

Actually I believe it was Howard Stern that said Rush was addicted to pain killers because he was an unhappy, lonely, fat man with a wife who cheated on him. Keep listening for him to dispense all of his wisdom.

I think Dave's excesses are there no doubt. But I also think there is some exegeration from the image conscious rocker. A few years back he was on Howard Stern, after Stern said he looked great and pressed a reluctant Dave to explain what his day was like, that he got up at 5:00 or 6:00AM and had a rigorous workout routine that included running and the gym.

Actually, I don't remember Limbaugh ever saying he was perfect either.

Libs like to pick on Rush because they don't have any talk show hosts that are anywhere near as popular.

Not yet anyway.

And a lot of Lib's dislike him because he is so regularly full of shit playing fast and loose with the facts, though I do not, and never really did, think he said that stuff about selling chem shit to Saddam.

[HELLVIS]

NO that does not imply that I think any mental disorder is a crutch Mr. Rollie eyes. I do however, imply that shrinks can only guess, in most cases, what is going on in someone's head. I know someone who right now is totally snowin' a shrink in order to get free government money. ( And trust me, this guy isn't very bright. )

And that's all they do.

But if a weatherman gets his prediction wrong, no big deal. Your weekend picnic or ski trip is ruined.

If a fucking brain quack get's it wrong, you end up with yet another fucked-in-the-head human being. I think the stakes are a bit higher. And I'm speaking from experience here.

Let's face it. By the time anyone resorts to a Psychologist, they've gotten to a point where they no longer rely on their personal judgement to make the major decisions in their lives. And therefore, they place an awful lot of power into the Psychologist's hands (providing them with the power to set direction in their lives). What if the fucking Psychologist is pursuing some sort of social agenda? Well, this fucker can influence people in personal crisis into pushing such an agenda. I hate to tell you folks this, but it's real. For instance, a feminist Psychologist will use their influence to promote a feminist agenda through their clients. I've seen this unfold first hand fellas. And I'm more than a little pissed about it.

Yep, Psychologist's are a fucking hoot! Anyone remember the quack out of Berkley that vandalized her own car? Yep, she was sponsoring an "anti-Conservative" rally at her college, and to make her point she vandalized her own car to illustrate the "threat" like-minded people were under in America (for speaking out against Conservatives naturally). What she didn't rely on is the cameras in her college's parking lot. The same cameras that caught her in the act of fucking up her own ride to promote her fucked up political agenda! But wait, it get's worse! It's not like she was just one of a hundred profs teaching at a liberal college. No, no, no,... She was THE FUCKING HEAD OF THE PSYCHOLOGY DEPARTMENT!!!! Shaping the minds of future Psychologists around the country! And as far as I know, she still holds her job.

Ummm..NO! That's a huge over-simplification. Try actually reading him sometime. You might learn something. He merely postulated that the human personality was derived from three basic components the id, the ego and the superego, and that we had numerous and complex drives of both survival and procreation and destruction. Try reading Freud's "Civilization and its Discontents," then look around at the self-destructive state of the world today and tell me he wasn't on to something (like predicting the Nazis rise to power in Germany in the early 1930's).

I certainly don't buy everything Freud said, but he was certainly on to something.

It is documented that Freud was a huge cokehead back when cocaine was legal in the early 1900s. Man they knew what they were doing back then!

How do you think "Coca Cola" got it's name.:confused:

[ODShowtime]

They used to sell in the drug stores in America little bottles of liquid cocaine that was more potent than the best street coke of today.
They came with a little tube so you could just snort the liquidy substance. It was a nasal decongestant. The streets of NYC were littered with the bottles once the young people figured out it was the BEST MEDICINE EVER!

Joking here, not advocating cocain use kiddies.

[FORD]

Freud was a cokehead?

Shit, why didn't the Republicans nominate him for President?

[4moreyears]

Way to go Rush!!!

The American People have spoken; 4 More Years!!!

[Nickdfresh]

Because he was Austrian, atheistic, Jewish, and was never in a drunk driving accident. But I hear the first two reasons might soon no longer matter.

You are such a whining pussy. I should have known that you would be crying like a little cunt if Kerry lost. Bush won significantly by popular vote, won most states, and won the electoral. Live with it and grow up you asshole.

[FORD]

Show me the ballots, shit for brains.

[4moreyears]

OK Ford, They are in my pocket. Are you that fucking stupid to think that everybody who has doubts about the election should be able to recount the ballots?

Your stupidy has reached a low; and I thought that would be impossible for you.

JH

[Warham]

Don't worry FORD,

They will recount Ohio and Bush will still come out ahead, even after all the mistakes and overseas and provisional ballots are included.

Just like when USA Today and all those other papers recounted Florida in 2001, Bush won every time. They never could get enough chads to hang in the recounts to get Gore to win, even after the umpteenth recount.

Bush won by 3.5 MILLION votes, too many for any conspiracy theory to account for.

the was election fraud, alright. kerry was given too many
votes. there's no way he could have received that much
support. show me the votes, FORD.
