Concerned Women for America...
I'm watching this Jan Larue on Dan Abrams' show. What happened to the other harpie they used to have?

I didn't think it was possible, but this woman is even WORSE. She just will NOT shut up!

1. You mean Phyllis Schafly?
The woman who spent all of her time traveling around, telling women to stay home with their families, while her husband was raising her kids? :crazy:

14. Sandy Rios?


She's the one Carville screamed at on Crossifre about her agreement with Franklin Graham quote saying Islam was an evil religion...

2. Dan should have told her she lived in fantasy land
It seems like these people do nothing but harp and shriek. Even a bull horn won't drown them out

9. he basically did
she tried to compare Terri to a death-row inmate, and wouldn't shut up, and he finally just said her comparison between the two is not based in reality.

3. You must mean Beverly LaHaye...
Edited on Thu Mar-24-05 09:41 PM by onager
Founder of that outfit, I believe. Wife of Tim LaHaye, the "writer" who cranks out the Left Behind series. Or used to. I think LaHaye and his Fundie ghost writer had a big falling out over money.

If you're ever awake in the wee hours with nothing to do, TBN often runs those Left Behind movies. They're hilarious.

For my atheistic money, though, the best of the bunch is Megiddo: Omega Code II. Former Real Actors like Michael York, Diane Venora and Michael Biehn look properly embarassed in a cheesy apocalyptic yarn that wouldn't even make sense to the wackiest Fundie.

The budget was so low, during the battle of Armageddon, we see the same tank drive by the camera over...and over...and over...

7. no, not that cow, either
it was a painfully skinny blonde woman who was just horrible - a combination of loud AND stupid. She used to be on Crossfire a lot.

8. Beverly LaHaye rarely appears in public anymore
She guested on Larry King recently, but she's about 180 years old and truly mentally ill. I think the organization keeps her under wraps.

13. Bwah! That also sounds like...
...Jan Crouch. I was watching the Big TBN Xmas Special a few years ago. Jan and Paul were wandering thru one of their stores full of Jesus-Junk, begging for money.

Jan was obviously medicated, and very heavily. One time Paul asked her a question and she just stood there, glassy-eyed.

Paul looked so mad, I thought he was going to whack her over the head with a Life-Sized Baby Jesus.

11. The term "hatchet-faced" went through my mind.
When I got a load of Jan LaRue on MSNBC, I thought of this line from the film version of "Pride and Prejudice": "How clever of you, my dear Miss Bingley, to know something of which you are ignorant." It's a bit absurd to trot out someone who can't make any claim to understanding the medical condition of the patient.

She is also bad advertising for Concerned Women for America - rude, ignorant, and hostile. When I see her, I am CONCERNED for the women of America. :-)

15. Oh my God, Dookus--I saw that and came to the computer
to see if anyone else noticed! What a nightmare! That woman was mad! Why didn't they cut her off?! And she looked like an insect!
