Dobson: Obama has a "fruitcake interpretation of the Constitution"

[El Supremo]

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.—As Barack Obama broadens his outreach to evangelical voters, one of the movement's biggest names, James Dobson, accuses the likely Democratic presidential nominee of distorting the Bible and pushing a "fruitcake interpretation" of the Constitution.

The criticism, to be aired Tuesday on Dobson's Focus on the Family radio program, comes shortly after an Obama aide suggested a meeting at the organization's headquarters here, said Tom Minnery, senior vice president for government and public policy at Focus on the Family.

(snip)

Dobson reserved some of his harshest criticism for Obama's argument that the religiously motivated must frame debates over issues like abortion not just in their own religion's terms but in arguments accessible to all people.

He said Obama, who supports abortion rights, is trying to govern by the "lowest common denominator of morality," labeling it "a fruitcake interpretation of the Constitution."

Man, am I sick of Dobson.

[anonymous171]

1. I thought he was a radical terrorist and should be feared?

I love how the RW smears are canceling each other out this year.

[muntrv]

2. Translation: Obama knows what Jesus preached.

[MadMaddie]

3. Dobson of all people saying someone is misinterpreting the bible..

if it wasn't so damn sick it would be funny.

It really is time to take review these churches and their tax free status. Dobson and others like him use their tax free money to further their agendas and I for one am sick of it.

7. Dobson alleging that someone else has a "fruitcake" view of the Constitution

is freakin' HILARIOUS!!

:crazy:

[LSparkle]

9. Dobson of all people shouldn't use the word "fruitcake" to characterize ANYTHING

:evilgrin:

[patrice]

4. Childish name-calling is the hallmark of limited abilities. nt

[Cha]

Yeah, and didn't he just out himself as not

a man of God?

[baldguy]

5. Dobson has as much respect for the Constitutions as Osama bin Laden does.

Maybe less.

[ccharles000]

6. He is a Shit stain, Shit stain, Shit stain!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think it can be said enough.

[Kdillard]

8. I don't know how any reasonable person could listen to Dobson

:puke:

[gblady]

10. Since when

is Dobson a constitutional scholar?

[blogslut]

11. Dear "Doctor" Dobson

Why are you wasting time on the laws of man and Caesar? Don't you have a dog to beat? A son that can't stay in the closet? Thousands of gullible folks to bilk money from? Shouldn't you be striving to help the poor and the downtrodden? Or perhaps, a little moneychanging to do?

[Median Democrat]

12. Dobson Just Needs A Good Spanking!

As Dobson once noted, his mother once whipped him with a girdle that had “a multitude of straps and buckles.” “Believe it or not, it made me feel loved.”

http://www.stoptherod.net/dobson.html

Here are some additional quotes:

CHAPTER THREE – More Common Sense About Children
p.34 Dobson sends wife Shirley on a “seek and destroy mission” when their 2 children are noisy in a church balcony.

p.34 Dobson claims “Nothing brings a parent and child closer together than for the mother or father to win decisively after being defiantly challenged.”

p.35 Dobson says “spanking should be of sufficient magnitude to cause genuine tears.” Afterwards when the child crumples “to the breast of his parent, he should be welcomed with open, warm, loving arms.” “Tell him how much you love him.”

p.35 Dobson calls his own daughter a “fifteen-month-old-ankle-biter."

p.36 Dobson’s wife whipped their 15 month old daughter for going onto the patio in the rain. Dobson says to show “parental warmth after such discipline” and to have a “Loving conclusion to the disciplinary encounter.” This is what leads to S & M behavior.

p.36 Dobson recommends painful squeezing of the trapezius muscle on the neck to obtain “instant obedience.” Dobson does this to a teenager on p. 41, as well as hitting him.

13. Dobson needs to shower with Obama and show him his penis? n/t

[ruggerson]

14. I would like to see Dobson mauled by a bevy of really pissed off drag queens

a random fantasy, I realize, but nevertheless...

[ingac70]

15. Pot. Kettle. Black.

Dobson has the cheek to call someone else "crackpot"? :wtf:

[Norrin Radd]

16. Dobson should go fuck himself.

[Hippo_Tron]

17. Maybe so, but at least he isn't a fruitcake like Dobson

[Colobo]

18. Anyone who listens to Dobson is a fruitcake.

[Pirate Smile]

19. Don't believe the Constitutional Lawyer and Professor, let James Dobson

interpret the Constitution for you. Woo Hoo!

[NatBurner]

31. right?

[cbc5g]

20. The Bible Battle - A battle Obama can..and will win.

Many Christians do not follow or like Dobson's ideas on the Bible. He's a kook.

[Tutonic]

21. A lot of quieted scandals surrounding Dobson's ministry.

Old man McCain didn't want nothing to do with him and there are many former employees and other charlatan ministers (Hagee, Dollar, Copeland, etc.)that tell a different story about the good doctor. The man is a hypocrite.

[Ytzak]

22. The Constitution is the Constitution...

The Bible is the Bible...
And never the twain shall meet.

Dobson is a dangerous fanatic that pedals religion like crack cocaine to his focus addicts.

[bluedawg12]

23. What would dog-beater JD do? Peeeeeg! n/t

[DBoon]

24. Dobson should be savagely attacked by a pack of dachshunds!

nt

[bluedawg12]

28. Dogs know more about Consitutional law than Dogbeatersson

Let's never forget who this man is: he claims this is a fight between man and beast? As if he were fighting a rhinocerus?
More like a battle between demonic beast and a small pet dog.

I think Siggie the Dachshund, who once endured a savage beating at Dobson’s hands, might disagree:

When I told Sigmund to leave his warm seat and go to bed, he flattened his ears and slowly turned his head toward me. He deliberately braced himself by placing one paw on the edge of the furry lid, then hunched his shoulders, raised his lips to reveal the molars on both sides, and uttered his most threatening growl. …

I had seen this defiant mood before, and knew there was only one way to deal with it. The ONLY way to make Siggie obey is to threaten him with destruction. Nothing else works. I turned and went to my closet and got a small belt to help me “reason” with .

What developed next is impossible to describe. That tiny dog and I had the most vicious fight ever staged between man and beast. I fought him up one wall and down the other, with both of us scratching and clawing and growling and swinging the belt. <<

44. Justice would be the dog winning that fight

25. Tribe (Harvard): "best student I ever had" Obama shares his views on Constitutional law.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=6298513&mesg_id=6299447

Tribe called Obama the "best student I ever had" and the "most exciting research assistant"...also talked about the issue of judicial appointments. "The next president won't be in a position to make this a liberal court, but he can prevent it from becoming reactionary and moving to unreviewable executive power," Tribe said, adding that Obama shares his views on Constitutional law.

[TheDonkey]

26. What a classy guy....

[and-justice-for-all]

27. Haha, Yeah RIGHT Dobnuts...

Obama understands the Constitution whereas Dobnuts has here in reality the fucked up distorted interpretation of the Constitution.

Dobson is a worthless piece of shit, fuck him and his Theocratic Agenda.

[Bluerthanblue]

29. "FRUITCAKE" !!- wow....

how much more of a jerk can he be-

Fruit and Fruit cake (as well as many variations) are slang terms which have various origins but modern usages tend to primarily refer to gay men and sometimes other LGBT people. Usually used as pejoratives, the terms have also been re-appropriated as insider terms of endearment within LGBT communities.



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit_(slang)

He's pissed at the way this country is finally coming around- and afraid of what Obama will do.

peace~

[jazzjunkysue]

40. Yep. In their generation, it means gay. Default 6th grade perjorative for unimaginative insecurity

cases.

Wow. How's Obama gonna defend himself from this tough pastor-bashing!!!????

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

30. People who insist Spongebob Squarepants is a gay icon...

have no business calling anybody else a fruitcake.

[Beaverhausen]

32. Why does the media keep publicizing this person's views? Oh yeah, ratings

follow the money.

The media loves this kind of shit - distracting from the real issues we face and publicizing bozos like this guy. I'm so fucking sick of it.

[polichick]

33. The ultimate fruitcake pointing sticky fingers at someone else is just too delicious!

[kevinbgoode]

34. I'd like to see two weeks of 24/7 samples of Dobson rants

being played over and over again on the MSM. . .then maybe we could get a good look at what a fruitcake really is and how a dominionist operates in a bid to take over America and turn it into his own private religious dictatorship.

I am annoyed as it is that the MSM plays this Sponge Bob dumbshits rants as worthy news.

[jillan]

35. Lol! Dobson saying that Obama has a fruitcake way of intrepreting the bible?

That is the funniest thing I have ever heard!

That's like Faux saying they are fair and balanced.

Obama should just laugh at him, considering the source.

[PatGund]

36. He should know....

Since Dobson has a "fruitcake interpretation" of the Bible

[zulchzulu]

37. What Dobson says equals what the sound a mosquito makes when it's squashed

The people who support Dobson are going to Hell. Jesus would have nothing to do with this guy and his minions.

[Smear Talk Express]

38. Given that "Dr." Dobson is a neo-nazi...

I don't think his "wisdom" should be trusted when it comes to constitutional issues.

[Danger Mouse]

39. I've seen piles of puke with more brains than Dobson.

[mvd]

41. Well, that's rich from someone who has a fruitcake..

interpretation of Jesus's teachings. Obama should feel so insulted. :eyes:

[boomerbust]

42. Tom Minnery, senior vice president for government and public policy at Focus on the Family.

Wow . These boys have one hell of a racket going. Tax exempt by the way!

[Gabi Hayes]

45. don't blame Dobson!

blame the fricking MEDIA for paying the slightest attention to his mad rantings.

he's no more coherent than a wino on a sixteen day bender, standing on an orange crate at Bughouse Square

can't believe nobody's mentioned that

the REAL problem with his ilk is that the M$M gives them any kind of mention whatsoever

THAT's what the dems should ALL be saying whenever forced to respond to anything spewing from his abject strawberry hole. how in the world can they take him seriously?

they should castigate anyone who has the temerity, the idiocy to mention anything he's ever said other than in the context of a rabid vole.

....shakes head incredulously
