DOBSON'S JIHAD:

Right-wing religious mouthpiece James Dobson is threatening U.S. senators. Dobson sent a letter to his supporters saying senators "will be in the 'bull's-eye'" if they oppose any of President Bush's conservative judicial nominees, promising "a battle of enormous proportions from sea to shining sea. He specifically pointed out "Democrats Bill Nelson of Florida, Mark Dayton of Minnesota, Ben Nelson of Nebraska, Jeff Bingaman of New Mexico, Kent Conrad of North Dakota and Robert Byrd of West Virginia." Intimidation tactics like this might backfire on the extremist conservative; just last month Charles W. Colson, the born-again Nixon aide and another influential Christian conservative, "warned against listing demands of the president or other elected officials," saying, "To think that way demeans the Christian movement…We are not anybody's special interest group."

2. Any MSM coverage of Dobson's letter?
This is exactly the kind of coverage that the average moderate NEEDS to hear about. I want the religious zealot's demands to be broadcast loudly by the MSM so that those who didn't realize their 'crusade' before the Presidential election will wake up for 06. I hope the zealots are unreasonable, EXTREME, demanding and loud...it will help to drive the splinter deeper into the Republican party.

3. I'm hoping they let their guard down because of the "mandate."
The fanatical religious right have been subdued in the public arena until now, but I hope they lose all sense of moderation and caution and let it rip. That's the only way it will get the attention of enough people to see their theocratic agenda for the danger that it is!

7. I would pay good money to hear a debate --
-- between Dobson and Robert Byrd.

After Senator Byrd steamrolls the little asshole, I say we lock him up until the lions get hungry again.
