Santa Barbara's Schlessinger, censor for peace?


ASK SCHLESSINGER:

How did Laura Schlessinger forget the violent threats made against an artist and private art gallery?

When you support the same position as those of violent and death threats, and you don't adjudge those devices, isn't that like giving tacit approval?

from behind her paywall at the Santa Barbara News-Press A2 column November 2, 2006, or click collage to enlarge.

Schlessinger wrote* in response to a news story (October 27, 2006, News-Press "Less than peaceful response to anti-war art") where a private gallery and artist had threats of bombs, fires, destruction and harm to the public. The peace theme had proved too threatening for some. It is not always easy to get Schlessinger's convoluted writings. Those aligned with her morals don't question her. She is isolated and doesn't respond to differences of opinion (except in a very controled environment).

Why tell readers to read Jeff Paley and Haim Harari? Why not be straighforward with her beliefs?

*clever or coward? she uses others to write what she won't say
