At Church Political Rally, Dobson Cites Conspiracy of Bad News
... to 'Suppress the Values Voters'.

Focus on the Family founder James Dobson continued his campaign to ensure that conservative Christians ignore Republican failures and scandals and turn out to vote next month, holding his third “Stand for the Family” rally in Nashville, Tennessee, where the race to replace retiring Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist is neck and neck. Previous rallies were held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The rally in Nashville, held at the same church that hosted “Justice Sunday II” last year, informed the audience that there is “a nationwide effort to suppress their vote,” according to Baptist Press News, and Dobson said that “they” were behind it:

"What Mark Foley did was unconscionable. It was terrible," Dobson said. "... Thankfully he's gone. But tell me -- now that he's gone, why is it still with us? Why are they still talking about it? Why are they trying to blame somebody for it? It is because they are using that to suppress the values voters."

Dobson said he was told that additional news about "outed gay" Republicans may come out in coming weeks.

"They're dribbling this bad news out so that eventually the values voters will get to the place that they say, 'A pox on both your houses. I'm staying home.' Folks, we cannot afford to do that," Dobson said.

--This is Dobson breaking a law, the IRS law. I will be submitting a request to the IRS to investigate FOFs political activites.

2. Good luck!
I hope you are successful getting them to investigate his organization. They need to be taken down.
I just don't hold much faith that the IRS will even look at him. They turn the blind eye when certain groups do this.

3. He's terrified of losing his power
Cheek to cheek with W and he's the big cheese. Without him, he's that nut from down in the Springs.

5. "Now that he's gone, why is it still with us? "
Clinton's been 'gone' for six years -- why is he STILL WITH the GOP every time they fuck up and have to blame someone else?

"As ye sow, so shall ye reap." Whatever.

6. If Dobson loses his tax exempt status, he better have his finance records
in order -- because the IRS is going to want to see them ALL.

I am betting that there are a lot more ties between Dobson and the BUSHCO gang, including conspiracy to subvert the lawful prohibition on a non-profit promoting a political candidate or party. My first instinct would be to follow the money, look for links to Grover Norquist's organization and Ralph Reed, possibly Abramoff.

If Dobson has to open the books on Focus on the FAmily, people will be shocked at what they have been doing...all in the name of Christianity.

9. Some Billy Idol lyrics come to mind when I think about Dobson:
You're eyes without a face
You're eyes without a face
You're eyes without a face
Got no human grace you're eyes without a face.
Such a human waste you're eyes without a face
And now it's getting worse.

We need to be more careful folks. Loose lips sink ships.

13. Not only that, but he's misquoting Shakespeare!
There are some things a guy just can't forgive, and that's one of them!

The proper quote is: "A plague o' both your houses!" Romeo And Juliet, Act III, Scene 1, Line 91.

Although some editions, including the Riverside Shakespeare, render it "A plague a' both houses!"

Take that, Dobson!
