Dobson lashes out at McCain for not kissing his ring
By SilentPatriot Tuesday Apr 01, 2008 8:40pm
The increasingly schizophrenic James Dobson issued a tough statement against Senator McCain today, saying that he has been insufficiently pandering to the radical religious right.
"I have seen no evidence that Sen. McCain is successfully unifying the Republican Party or drawing conservatives into his fold. To the contrary, he seems intent on driving them away."

Translation: McCain hasn't been talking about how much he hates teh gays. That's sort of a rite of passage on that side of the aisle. And he's trying to be viewed as relevant again in an election cycle that has left them in the cold. Except---John Hagee of course...

What is wrong with these idiots? I was under the impression that Repubs crave power. They consider holding political power as the motherlode of all things Repub. Well, McCan'tThinkStraight is actually leading the polls. Isn't that what it's all about?
Well I'll give Dobson this.
The man isn't a political opportunist like Pat Robertson.
Dobson actualy believes what he says he believes.
So isn't Dobson being jealous of Hagee some kind of sin?
McCain,
all you gotta do is take a shower with the creep. No ring-kissing involved. You have to measure up.
That's what Dobson believes in.
Dobson is trying to bargain for a place at the table for the nuttier fringe of the wing-nuts.
Dobson. Perkins, all of them are nothing now. They were used by the corrupt Repugs to solidify a base. Now that Americans have watched in horror at their abuse in the name of religion, they finally relized what they truly are. Homophobic women haters who want to keep progressives and science down. They know McCain won't give them all they want, but you know in the end they will vote for him anyway. Why? Beacause they are a bunch of hypocrites!
Go Down Egypt, let his people go....go...and go......
Hum...I am just woundering how many preachers, conservative christians the bible belt contains. It seems that no matter how many get cought is a sex scandal, there is always replacement. Maby Jesus is multiplying them...
Kiss his ring or ass?
The fundies are one of the main reasons why all hopes for a permanant Republican majority have all but vanished. I think there was a Rapture in 2006, but it only took away the political influence of evangies and not their souls. God does work in mysterious ways after all.
It's kind of fun watching these homophobic right-wing nut jobs foam at the mouth. What are they going to do next? Wait for Robertson talk to God again and show them the light? Or will they wallow in despair? I hope the latter.
weve heard the stories....
Beware of any candidate that is involved with a group of right-wing businessmen, politicians with ties to defense contractors with roots in America's fascism.
I think people have figured it out... also beware of any groups that idolizes and has links to Pat Robertson, Sun Myung Moon, Gary Bauer, James Dobson.
Dobson wants to take Falwells spot as the number one most ignorant-yet-irrelevant conservative whiner. He's got a lot to compete with though, there are so many irrelevant conservatives this year he may have to settle for sharing 32nd place with the goofball who runs "Little green footballs", behind Fred Thompson and just ahead of Rudy Giuliani.
Will someone please explain the phrase 'teh gays' to me.
Is it just a popular US misspelling of "the gays", or is it something more significant.
Help me - I'm just a Canadian who speaks the Queen's English...
if they don't let him play, he's going to take his god away.
Well, with all the 'sinnin' the Repubs have done and been exposed in over the past 8 years, maybe Dodson is becoming aware to the fact that people aren't falling for their bullshit threats.

We use that to indicate the ixcited way the slathering right-wingnuts misspell in their zeal to get their post out in a hurry and often misspell the as teh ... in other words, your guess was right.
Waaaaa...
Let 'em eat their own, little Rethug bitches!
Nobody's got 'nuf "God" in 'em for Dobson.
May I suggest moving to an Islamic theocracy, pinhead.

Wasn't it Dobson that recently flopped his previous position of distancing himself from McCain to endorsing McCain? (Or was it another crazy religious leader?)
If so, doesn't this just seem like a tiff of a petty crush on Dobson's part?

I thought 'teh ghey' was some sort of "leet" crap, like 'pron' etc.......
God of Egypt Horus and every other god after that all had the same story of virgin birth and resurrection and birth at December 25th. But Judeo-Christian were the first to implement homophobia behavior toward the gays. Why?
Roman leader Caligua and Nero were first became powerful around Jesus "Christ" time, and yet they were gay. So was Christianity use to take down the roman empire? Business were thriving when Nero took charge, and the relax state actually encourage more business to flourish.
No Christian leadership ever explain why gays were an abomination to the eye of God. The only answer is that it was written in the bible that God says so and that we should not question his authority.
This business of Christian leadership taking up the govt sponsorship should be the evidence to take away the tax free enterprise. Christianity the way it was implemented was the possible cause to take down the roman empire. I think not only taking back your political party from the hands of Nazi sympathizer, but also take your religion back from the hand of the modern day Pharisees.
I guess that makes Dobson a flip-flopper.
Did anyone see McCain on Keith Olbermann tonight? It was video of McCain, not in person. He holds his arms really stiff with the palms facing the front of his legs instead of the sides. He's all bent over and looks like he's in pain just walking. He was walking off a plane and his wife was holding his arm, only it looked like she was doing it to steady him. Very decrepit looking, which will be magnified when the debates start.
abarts @ 27:
Exactly.
Maybe this explains it.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - If you are male and a Led Zeppelin fan, chances are you may be leaning toward voting Republican in the U.S. presidential election, according to a survey of rock radio fans released on Wednesday.
The Jacobs Media's Media/Technology Web Poll IV of more than 27,000 respondents cited stronger than expected interest in the November 2008 election among fans of rock, classic rock, and alternative radio stations.
It also found that John McCain, the Republican candidate for U.S. president, was the top pick for the Oval Office for men and classic rock partisans -- those people who tune in to stations playing music from the "original classic rock era" of 1964 to 1975, comprised of bands like Led Zeppelin, The Who and Pink Floyd.
L.A. Confidential @ 31:
Right nice try there good for laughs anyway.
L.A. Confidential @ 31:
WTF! squeeze my lemon.
Dobson needs the world to hate "the gays" as much as he does.
He's just another abusive, authoritarian Reich-wing re-PIG-lic wack-job that doesn't realize how truly awful he is - or that the rest of the world knows it.
So his head might explode now? We should be that lucky. And who'd miss his sorry ass? No one - he's a frickin' pain and everyone knows it.
"Dobson lashes out at McCain for not kissing his ring." -- well put.

I know he's in his 70's, and the campaign is very tiring, but doesn't McCain in this clip look and sound like he's had one too many xanax?

Does Dobby really believe for a second that if Jesu came floating back today he would be a REPUBLICAN and support John McCain???????
Bit NOLA @ 4:
And then he has to let Dobson beat him and put him in a cage for penance. And then there's this little incident too . . . .
Dobson is sick, sick, sick, sick, sick. And maybe a bit crazy too.

Maybe Dobson would cheer up if he bought himself the Miracle Jesus Spoon!

Does that come with a new pair of glasses?
Christ, looks like what I used to cook illegal substances in in my youner, dumber days. But we always ditched 'em from the cops, not sold 'em on Ebay. For $96, better have some residue...
Why should ANYONE care what Dr. Dobson thinks about John McCain? Why does anyone (devout Chrsitians included) care what Hagee is saying, or what Rev. Wright has said?
That these men's comments are somehow important is silly as it is unimportant to anyone with half a brain. Obviously I have answered my own question. Oh well.
Could someone give Dobson a pacifier? And if he degrades further, a pound of smelling salts?
Oops. Looks like McFlippityFlop has a splinter up his ass. Might as well get ready for many more. I have this sneaking suspicion that the Republican Convention is going to be way more interesting than the Democratic Convention.
People like these mentioned throughout the posts illustrate the need for the total separation of church and state. Someone mentioned tonight on some talking head fest that Dobson is looking for McCain to assure him that he will come down on stem cell research, abortion, and gay rights. Enlightened huh? Never mind what may be good for the people only what their demented minds envision for the rest of us.
Canuknotusa @ 14:
I thought it was just a simple case of one's middle finger on the left hand getting ahead on one's index finger on the right hand typing the word "the".
If you ain't bashing gays, demonizing brown people, trying to take old folks social security checks, using the word "God" in every third sentence and promoting sending somebody else's kids to war, you fall out of favor with the conservative base.
Pretty much says it all:

Fracturing the GOP? What? between the non-fascist republicans who believe the constitution and the fascist republicans who want the constitution destroyed? I thought dubya did all that, now dobson laying it on mcsame?

I'd rather have my son raised by golden retrievers, hell, by WOLVES, than Dogson.
Love your headline about Dobson dissing McPain for "not kissing his ring." That statement carries with it a hint of the obvious problem with all of these theocratic wingnut types: their shameless egomania. That, coupled with smug, brazen self-righteousness spells Creep.
It's a wonder so many of their flocks are too dumb to read any book other than the Bible. If they had the smarts, and if they read more widely, they might come upon a little work by the late Abraham Maslow, Religions, Values, and Peak-exeriences (1964) in which the so-called "Father of Humanistic Psychology" posited that all adherents of the monotheistic religions have gotten so far from what the founders of the faiths actually believed, there is no semblance of respect for the original message of the messiah or prophet.
You certainly see this in Dobson types, who would rather a woman die in childbirth than have an abortion, whose venomous hate speech toward the sexual minorities plays a large role in the suicides of hundreds of teens year after year, and whose attempts to blur the lines of separation between church and state is about as un-American as Stalinism. They're all dangerous lunatics who should be locked up and given a good brainwashing to reorient them to being human.
Don't legitimize reich-wingers' rampant illiteracy in any way, shape or form -- even if it's in parody or sarcasm.

The same Dobson that minimized the Foley Scandal; shame on him and his followers. I praise McCain for distancing himself from that ilk.
In the world of Conservatives and Evangel-wings.
When Dobson shuns a conservative like McCain (presidential candidate). Poised to lose. Dobson is concerned with backing a loser and somehow appearing less powerful in God's eyes and the rest of Americas.
I predict here and now that Dobson and McCain kiss and make up. Dobson has to be convinced McCain can win. Like I said, Dobson would not want to back a loser. I'm sure he thinks it will effect how his flock looks up to him if he backs McCain and McCain loses. Not a power loss Dobson wants to endure. He wouldn't look as close to God as he says he is. It worries the Dobson.......
Hmmmm?
If McCain didn't kiss Dobson's ring.
If McCain missed kissing the ring, what did McCain kiss?

somethings could be rubbed together and worked out maybe.

Falwell's soul was raptured in november 06, but it took six month before the golem knew it had died,
which then crawled into its matchbox in the merry month of may.
please take him back
Why is it I can pepper my conversation with the odd Latin, Greek or French phrase or two, but I have no idea what teh, pwned, roflmgdao means?
Sorry roflmgdmfppao.
I'm hoping that the religious nut cases' days of influence in politics is coming to an end.
If Dobson's in the closet (and I strongly suspect he is), he shouldn't wait to get "outed" ala Ted Haggard (with or without the hookers and blow, of course).
Big deal he will still vote for McPain.
His relevance is in decline.
Well... didn't you all know? McCain is a maverick!
I think Dobson prefer McCain perform the Osculum Infame

For a second there I thought you said Worship the Breast
It's fun having aging eyes.
There seems no dout thaat Dobson requires McCain to give him the public ceremony of religious respect.
it is there way of displaying the power of a religious test for President. And increasing their political clout to flaunt at their flocks to hold influence.
Some are just plain desperate to be somebody or something and do not realize the false idol in themselves they seek to become to others....................
Thanks Bit NOLA.

Dobson's Dog Days
Who knew? Well, someone must've, since I've never read James Dobson's autobiography.
People who abuse animals are people with problems. Big problems. People who do it for fun, and then "brag" about it, are even more sociopathic, IMHO. via the Carpetbagger Report:
Even more alarming, Dobson admits in one of his books that as a child he arranged a fight between two mismatched dogs. The battle involved a tenacious bulldog and a "sweet, passive Scottie named Baby," and Dobson provoked it by throwing a tennis ball toward Baby. He writes what happened next: "The bulldog went straight for Baby's throat and hung on. It was an awful scene. Neighbors came running from everywhere as the Scottie screamed in terror. It took ten minutes and a garden hose for the adults to pry loose the bulldog's grip. By then Baby was almost dead. He spent two weeks in the animal hospital, and I spent two weeks in the doghouse. I was hated by the entire town."
As any child psychologist will tell you, this type of cruelty toward animals is a sign of a serious psychological disturbance.
Wow. Talk about serious perversion, next he'll be all for whacking defenseless children. What. A. Man!
Dobson wants to remake our military in his fantasy-land christofascist image, snoop into every bedroom and be the power behind the Preznit's Throne for as long as he can.
Ambitious for a prissy little bully-boy isn't it? But not really wholly unexpected either.
KA-CHING!
The Political Junkie Says: If Dobson’s in the closet (and I strongly suspect he is), he shouldn’t wait to get “outed” ala Ted Haggard (with or without the hookers and blow, of course).
