Seems Dr. Laura has a son in the military. She’s been awfully proud of him on the radio show. Heck, at least he’s not a chickenhawk, eh? The problem is that he may be a psychopath. From the Salt Lake Tribune. (Pensito Review has a nifty picture of Deryk Schlessinger, too!)

The soldier son of talk radio relationship counselor Laura Schlessinger is under investigation for a graphic personal Web page that one Army official has called “repulsive.”

The MySpace page, publicly available until Friday when it disappeared from the Internet, included cartoon depictions of rape, murder, torture and child molestation; photographs of soldiers with guns in their mouths; a photograph of a bound and blindfolded detainee captioned “My Sweet Little Habib”; accounts of illicit drug use; and a blog entry headlined by a series of obscenities and racial epithets.

The site is credited to and includes many photographs of Deryk Schlessinger, the 21-year-old son of the talk radio personality known simply as Dr. Laura. Broadcast locally on 570 KNRS, “Family Values Talk Radio,” the former family counselor spends three hours daily taking calls and offering advice on morals, ethics and values. She broadcast a show from Fort Douglas, in Salt Lake City, last week.

. . .

Deryk Schlessinger’s Web site indicated the 21-year-old soldier is stationed in Kandahar, Afghanistan, where, the site’s author writes, “godless crazy people like me,” have become “a generation of apathetic killers.”

The site indicated Schlessinger’s team has survived numerous mortar, rocket and roadside bomb attacks. It also included several graphic cartoons. In one of the stick drawings, a top-hatted man laughs as he rapes a bound and bleeding woman in front of her family. In another depiction, a man forces a boy to perform oral sex at knifepoint as the child’s mother pleads for her son’s life.

Look for Dr. Laura to blame liberals for this one. Give it a day and she’ll be saying that not only is the web site made up by our enemies, but that the enemies are our liberals.

In the meantime, lots of soldiers linked positively to a site that had cartoons depicting scenes of horrific rape and child sexual abuse. It seems to me officials ought to attend to the guys who think they are friends of Deryk Schlessinger.

Oh, and just one last word for Dr. Laura. Dr? You likely crippled your boy socially by naming him “Deryk,” especially in the eccentric way you spelled the name. Yes, this is all your fault, Dr. Laura. [/snark]
