Focus On The Family targets Keith Olbermann

[CatWoman]

MSNBC's Keith Olbermann is one of the few "real media" journalists to have a blog consistently worth going to. From Olbermann, we learn that for the last week, Focus on the Family has been locked in mortal combat with themselves, and they're losing badly.

Or more specifically, FOTF targeted K.O. for an impromptu spam campaign, as a result of Countdown's reporting on James Dobson's "SpongeBob" comments. Dobson backpedaled like a man possessed once media attention on his remarks started coming out, in the process citing Olbermann as "one of the most hostile of the commentators" against him and setting up an email generator by which FOTF groupies could spam Olbermann on the subject.

2. I don't know what they hope to accomplish!

Keith rightly thinks these peoples are fools - all their nasty spam isn't going to change a damn thing.

F FOTF! Long live Olbermann!

"Dobson, you will recall, joined the singularly inoffensive animated character “SpongeBob SquarePants” to his conspiracy theories of a “pro-homosexual” agenda, in order to get headlines. When he got those headlines, he promptly complained about getting them. Dobson, like many other exploiters of Amoral Values, ran immediately to the easiest way out of a stupid fix of his own creation: he blamed the big old ugly media."

"Still, let’s give ‘em that 6,000 figure they claim. That’s embarrassingly small for an email generating device, especially over the course of five days. Most of my blog entries induce about 1,000 hand-crafted emails, and during the post-election period the responses ran closer to 5,000 per day. If you’re setting up a spam campaign and providing people with everything up to and including cut-and-pastes to stick inside the message generator, and you can’t do better than 1,200 a day, you should give up and open a 7-11 somewhere."

"More importantly, at some point, some of these people are going to wake up to find that the great secular assault they see on their children was, in fact, a bogeyman created to hide their own bad parenting. If they can’t convince their own kids of the appropriateness of their religion and values, then the religion, the values, or the convincing, must not have been very good. Ask my folks if I was an easy sell - yet most of my tenets turn out to have been their tenets - not my teachers’, not television’s, not the secular world’s."

FOTF must be people of blind faith if no one stopped and pointed out how assinine they were going to look doing this SpongeBob nonsense.

5. I just sent Keith a thankyou note for standing up to Dobson and his

idiotic group.

6. He pretty much let Dobson know

he thought him a fool for coming out with the Sponge Bob shit...played the We Are Family completely from start to finish and didn't really have to say anything, the look on his face said it all, like "Are you Serious?" I hope it pisses off Olbermann and he strikes back, and strikes back hard, with any and all dirt he can dig up on this Side Show Tent Preacher...

7. I feel sorry for Dobson...:o)

He has to keep the hate riled up with his swallowers - plus - appear to be credible - at the same time.

8. If this jackass Dobson

really starts pounding Keith, we need to be sure to muster our side to help him any way we can.

Keith is one of the few media people who speaks the truth and we can not afford to lose his voice.

:grr:
