Get ready for another 'poor persecuted conservative martyr' (TM)

Dr. Robi Ludwig is a psychologist who appears on major TV news networks to offer her analysis and medical opinion on a wide-range of topics surrounding the family, relationships, and domestic violence. On Saturday Dr. Ludwig drew outrage after telling millions of Fox News viewers that Elliot Rodger, the 22-year old shooter who was responsible for the deaths of seven people Friday night in Santa Barbara, might have been fighting “homosexual impulses.”

“When I was first listening to him, I was like, ‘Oh, he’s angry with women for rejecting him,’” Ludwig told Fox News host Judge Jeanine Pirro and her viewers. “And then I started to have a different idea: Is this somebody who is trying to fight against his homosexual impulses?’”

Of course, as practically every news report mentioned, Elliot Rodger had left a 141-page manifesto and YouTube videos admitting that he was a 22-year old virgin who was angry for being consistently rejected by women, and at no time did he every suggest he was gay or struggling with his sexual identity, yet Dr. Ludwig chose to insert the “question” of his being gay into the discussion.

Ludwig is also the lifestyle real estate correspondent for Coldwell Banker Real Estate, one of the top real estate firms in the country, “providing professional insight and commentary on the real estate experience.”

Or, she was.

“Dr. Robi’s comments on the tragedy in Santa Barbara do not represent the opinions of Coldwell Banker. Therefore at this time we feel it best to part ways with her as our lifestyle real estate correspondent,” Coldwell Banker wrote on Facebook in response to LGBT activist and founder of Memeographs, Scott Wooledge, who had contacted them to check if she was their spokesperson.

2. Oh, them demonic homosexuals and their war on all that is good and decent!

I love that this woman is getting her just reward. I bet she was coached by FoxNoise producers.

Moral: Don't be an asshole. Don't go on Faux Noise.

3. Yep, another "victim" "persecuted" by the forces of "political correctness"...

...and not a charlatan hoist with her own petard.

By the way, has anyone turned up an instance of Rodger actually being rejected? Even asking someone out? From his screed it seems he expected "hot sexy women" to just come fluttering to him like moths to a flame, and took it as being "consistently rejected" that this wasn't happening.

4. I never got that he was actually ever rejected as well

I imagine it like you said though, that he expected some woman to come to him, as though the universe itself wanted him to have the high status and beautiful girlfriend he so desired, but all us people who were 'inferior' to him kept getting in the way. Just look at how his plan for money was to win the lottery and how it was 'MY money' in his words when someone else kept winning.
