My choicest words about big-mouths like Oprah (yes, there are many more) are unprintables. Given how women like to team-up against men (no matter the topic), I choose to keep my views about big-mouth Oprah/others, to myself. After all, what do ‘insensitive jerks’ know about wonen?

Gee, Debbie, why didn’t you tell her how you REALLY feel?? lol
Great letter, Debbie. I can’t wait to see something totally twisted on this pop up on Media Matters for America.
The whole scenario of this Caitlin writing to you seems like a lefty version of Dumb and Dumber…
Keep up the good work, Debbie.

My problem with this is not the assistant’s onions in contacting Deb for exploitation, but the utter lack of research BEFORE she contacted Deb.
I don’t think it was oversight; I think the lack of planning and her use of language was intentional as current politics dictate. I think politics in the US has gone from the traditional politics of debates and dirty tricks into something more likened to cult recruitment and retainment.
Look at the email Deb received:
“My name is Caitlin Leonard, and I work with Lisa Ling’s blog- “Trying to do Good.” (bh: Name of famous leader followed by feel-good name. This is to induce awe in that this famous “leader” knows who you are and generates emotions of euphoria.)
I came across your blog, and found the content very interesting- especially your coverage of the Al-Hanooti scandal. (bh: Compliment the target.)
As Lisa speaks out regarding global issues that are often ignored, I thought you might like to check out some of her posts. (bh: Show how the leader mirrors the views of the target. Pretend to ask the target to help the leader and work in cooperation with the group, but really seeking the target’s allegiance.)
Let me know what you think- I’d love to get your feedback.” (bh: Ending complient to urge target’s compliance.)
Also, notice how short the letter is. This is also intentional – meant to tempt the target to contact the group to get a better picture of what’s being asked of them.
I’ve seen better than this, but all the essentials are there. This letter is similar to the first steps of cult indoctrination. If Deb complied the next step would be isolation, followed by coercion. Next thing we knew, Deb would be herded into Oprah’s live audience begging for the 350 lbs. of marketable grade-B to say to her “I know your pain…”
As pointed out earlier by Squirrl3D, this indoctrination began early for most of us. I remember Ling on Channel 1 back in my captivity (public high school). The reporters on Channel 1 had no credability, but we were REQUIRED by school codes to stop anything like real learning, and observe the cheap TV for “news”. The reporting was almost always biased and fictional (and that’s being kind).
It was, however, a good way to indoctrinate the kids without the parent’s knowing. When I mentioned some of the reporting to my parents in those days, they had no idea we even had TV’s in the classroom. After a local news report informing the parents to the “benefits” of Channel 1, my folks quickly said I should listen and take it all in. They never bothered to look at it, but took the word of a local news journalist later convicted of child sexual assault and drug use.
My kids are NEVER setting foot in public school – EVER! They are getting a great education from us. And we cut ABC off our TV settings years ago, so we never see Oprah’s Gospel Hour (or whatever it’s called.) Since Oprah and the View both are promoting soft-core porn and sodomy, from what Deb reported, both shows are violating FCC rules – not to mention the laws of nature and our Creator.
And proven from this letter, they’re also utilizing cult indoctrination tactics. That makes it all the more dangerous.

This not my usual way of saying things. But, Oprah does “suck.” I never liked oprah since I was in High School. I couldn’t take her and I didn’t know why. I had to walk out…..And I was in my living room!
Debbie you are true Poet! You go girl!!!!

Debbie, I know the term ’stupid bitch’ isn’t very Xtian, but i just Googled it and LL’s picture came up. I’ve noticed that Asians (Chinese) tend to be completely unsympathetic to Israel. I think it has to do with their culture of seeking serenity, harmony, etc. I just wish Islam was infecting China and not Europe and Michigan.

I must be the only guy that know this so here it goes:
When I was going to middle school and high school, we had these TVs in our classrooms and they would always broadcast “Channel 1″ every morning. Lisa Ling was apart of it and one of the “reporters”.
That’s how I first learned about her, and that’s how so many in my school was brainwashed into the psychonuts that they’ve become.

Lisa Ling is a crashing bore, as far as I can tell. No way will I get hear her site.
Actually, she’s worse than a bore. She’s an idiot.

YAMMA HAMMA—If you feel you are ever becoming annoyed by any of my posts please warn me prior to taking any action. I will need time to get out of Dodge. I would rather be called a coward than take a dose of DS. Maybe next time you can tell Oprah how you really feel. Lady Deb, that was awesome–joe
