The GOP has put up a
report on its website stating: "GORE HAS ANGER MANAGEMENT ISSUES." Quotes and cites from "experts" include:
- Columnist Charles Krauthammer Said Gore "Could Use A Little [Psychiatric] Help."
- Following His May Speech At New York University, Krauthammer Said "It Looks As If Al Gore Has Gone Off His Lithium Again."
- Former National Institutes Of Health And Food And Drug Administration Official Dr. Henry Miller Says Gore May Suffer From "Narcissistic Personality Disorder."
So mental health is a joke to the GOP. Psychiatric drugs are a joke. Anger problems are a joke. The American Psychological Association
doesn't think so. The millions of Americans on psychiatric drugs don't think it's a joke. So here's what I think we should do: email the American Psychological Association and the American Psychiatric Association. Ask them to condemn this crap. Be sure to include specific quotes, a
link to the page, and mention that this is on the front page of the Republican Party's website. The American Psychological Association's email is
public.affairs@apa.org and the American Psychiatric Association's email is
apa@psych.org If you happen to find more suitable emails, please reply with them.
Let them know what you think. While you're at it, write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper. Make sure everyone in your city knows just how serious the GOP thinks mental health is. And then tell your friends and family to email the two APAs. Oh -- and if you have time left, email the RNC and ask just what the hell they think they're doing.
