So it turns out the SpongeBob thing was a misunderstanding

[Az]

And Focus on the Family refuses to admit it goofed.

There are two groups. We Are Family Foundation created the video. This group was founded by the composer of the We Are Family song made famous by Sister Sledge.

Then there is the group We Are Family. This is a Gay Lesbian progroup working for increasing undertanding and tolerance towards Gays and Lesbians.

Here is the site for the group that created the video. http://www.wearefamilyfoundation.org/

Here is the site for the Gay and Lesbian group. www.waf.org

Google We Are Family and you will primarily come up with the Gay and Lesbian group. You have to specifically search for We Are Family Foundation to find the video production group.

Two family groups initially charged the WAFF group with promoting the homosexual agenda. One pulled out after realising the mistake. But Focus on the Family either is too stupid to realise its mistake or has decided this is too hiprofile of an issue to simply let it drop.

3. To Dobson, "tolerance" is a code word for anal sex.

(credit to Franken)

With that in mind they may not see the difference.

6. so "intolerance" means it's okay to stick your head up your arse.

8. I'm glad they went after SpongeBob.

The more they do these idiotic things, the stupider they look!

Please, Focus on the Family, Falwell, et al.: keep 'em coming! Take on some more cartoon creatures! We love to see you all look like fools.

9. Now is anyone going to do something about Yogi and BooBoo?

Doesn't seem right to me having an adult male bear hibernating together with an unaccompanied juvenile bear of the same sex in the same cave. There has to be something fishy about that. What depraved type of behaviour is Yogi getting up to when that ranger guy isn't around? I'll wager a bet it's a little more perverted than stealing picnic baskets.

10. Dobson's Dangerous Cause He's "Stealthy"

This guy has been "legitimized" by the MSM by appearing on Larry King Dead and profiled on Dateline...made to be like some kindly Pastor/Uncle type...not the flaming radical lunatic he really is.

Dobson is worse than a Robertson or Falwell...who have been fairly marginalized by most of the media, since his "commentaries" air on non-religious stations and he seems so meek and friendly. This goon makes my skin crawl more than the others.

12. I think much of this goes back to Duke

I forget his first name but Duke was a candidate for Pres (IIRC) and Senator. He was a Klan member (supposedly resigned) and he spearheaded the tactic of going stealth. He dressed and talked the part of a responsible member of tolerant society. But his agenda was completely cromagnon. After he failed to get elected (but got far more votes than he should have) he and his supporters created schools to teach others how to go stealth.

While they did not personally teach all the stealth infiltrator that followed they set the example. People learned. They adapted. Present a face similar to the publics when addressing the public. But champion issues that serve their hate filled agenda when no one is looking.

14. David Duke...But He Was Outed

Dobson, like Ralphie Reed and Franklin Graham are made out to be "moderates" or even apolitical...above such petty things due to their "holiness". At least Duke never denied he was Klan, just that his Klan wasn't the same Klan as those who wore White Sheets.

Preachers learned through using TV & Radio how to look one way and say another. To put their bile out with a smile...damnation that just doesn't seem like fire & brimstone. Dobson is a master at this.

The real misnomer here is when he's refered to as "Doctor". He has a divinity degree...not a PHD or a degree in a major discipline from a recognized university...but his "doctor" is given the same credibility as a Harvard scholar.

13. WND's Micro Mea Culpa was added at the end of an interior paragraph...

when they republished the Jan. 6th article!

Sleazy!

AFA researcher Ed Vitagliano sees the project as an "open door" to a secondary discussion of homosexuality, noting the the foundation has a "tolerance pledge" on its website that children and others are encouraged to sign, which includes sexual orientation. (Editor's note: This story previously linked to the website of a group that has the same name but no connection to the video. WND regrets the error.)

"While we want everyone to respect other people's beliefs, we do not consider it appropriate for children's television to be used in an effort to indoctrinate children to accept homosexuality," he said.
