Good job folks. I reported a few days ago on this sweetheart deal Dr. Laura had going for new office space. Apparently, she lost the deal as a result of your calls and emails. Good job. And I love how the lady who calls us pedophiles and biological errors is asking for "tolerance" in return. Love to know who she just got her "tolerance training" from, Goebbels?
From AP via 365gay.com:
Dr. Laura Schlessinger has withdrawn her application to lease a Stearns Wharf office where she planned to broadcast her nationally syndicated radio talk show.
Schlessinger did not provide an explanation for the decision, Waterfront Department Director John Bridley said.
Schlessinger, who owns a sailboat in Santa Barbara Harbor, had expressed interest in leasing a 250-square-foot office space used by a city wharf maintenance supervisor.
However, city officials had debated whether that would be legal in an area that is zoned for businesses that are 'ocean-oriented, visitor-serving and ocean-dependent and ocean-related uses.'
The proposal also ignited a strong response from gay community activists because of her expressed opposition to same-sex couples adopting children.
They barraged City Council members with protest e-mails.
In her own e-mail to the Santa Barbara News-Press, Schlessinger urged tolerance from her critics.
'This and most other `liberals and liberal groups' need to take diversity and tolerance training,' Schlessinger wrote. 'They need to be able to accept that there are other points of view without lapsing into `search and destroy missions' -- like this one.'
