James Dobson Endorses Judge Roberts: Why?
http://www.yuricareport.com/BattleForJudiciary/DobsonEndorsesRoberts.html
By Katherine Yurica
Posted July 23, 2005

excerpt:

Ordinarily Judge Roberts’ wife’s job ought to be off limits in the search for information that might shed light on Judge Roberts’qualifications and judicial beliefs and possible prejudices. From all sides, Judge Roberts appears to be an ideal nominee. He is highly intelligent and a truly educated man. What’s wrong with him then and why should the Senate Judiciary Committee probe deeper?

The answer is: Judge Roberts is fully endorsed by none-other-than “tough- love-beat- them-while-their-young—political advocate Dr. James Dobson. In fact Dobson, the founder of Focus on the Family, is planning a nationwide simulcast from Nashville to promote Roberts in August. It was Dobson who helped to whip up the Terri Schiavo case to national proportions with screaming advocates and dominionists accusing judges of “murdering” the woman. It is Dobson who has 6,000 worldwide radio facilities carrying his weekly radio broadcast.

Dobson led a “Justice Sunday” simulcast from Louisville, Kentucky in the spring to get churchgoers and churches riled up throughout the country to call their Senators and demand a yes or no vote on every judicial appointee of the Bush administration.

But Dobson is accustomed to throwing his political weight around. He warned the White House, that if an anti-abortion judge was not named by the President to the Supreme Court, Republicans would pay for it dearly at the polls in the next election. It appears that James Dobson knows something about John G. Roberts that the Democrats don’t know!

1. because dobby is an arrogant jerk who thinks that he can dictate to the
rest of the country like he does in colorado springs--where he has the mayor in his pocket.

I have been demanding for years that fungus' (the local name for focus on the family) tax-exempt status be revoked because of its political activities. they only formed their political action arm last year (as if that made a difference, since they didn't bother differentiating between comments made by fungus or its action arm)

what a bunch of hypocrites.

2. Dobson in CO Springs is like Rajneesh in Antelope, OR
I remember a few years back when guru Bwaghan Shree Rajneesh established a commune in Antelope, Oregon. His commune quickly overwhelmed the town and they legally changed the name of the city to "Rajneeshpurum".

Sounds like something similar is going on in Colorado Springs. Except that Dobson is WAY more obnoxious than Rajneesh. I'll take a smiling, dancing, Rolls-Royce driving teacher of ecstasy any day over a hate-filled, legalistic, child-beating advocate, dark cloud like Dobson any day.

Hope you folks in Colorado Springs can find a way to prosecute Dobson for tax evasion and eject him and his rabid followers from your beautiful city.
